I»AGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1OT4 Portrait Of A Barnyard This beautiful farm sitting was captured by the Ptaindealer cameraman in Bull Valley. The striking noon sun outlined the barn's features for this nifty portrait. The barn and silos are white in real life, but appear black in this photo after some reversal magic in the darkroom. The reflection in the foreground is from the pond in the farm yard.

Tips For Homemaker If you will be canning foods this summer for the first time, or for the first time in years, you may benefit from these canning equipment tips says Pat Frank, McHenry county Extension adviser in Home Economics. Canning involves heating foods long enough at a high enough temperature to destroy spoilage organisms and to stop the action of enzymes, she explains. Processing is done in either a boiling-water-bath canner or a steam-pressure canner. The kind of canner you use depends on the kind of food being canned. Acid foods-such as fruits, tomatoes, rhubarb, sauerkraut, and pickles-can be safely processed in a boiling-water- bath canner. These canners are available on the market, but any big metal container may be used if it is deep enough for the water to be IV2 to 2 inches over the tops of the jars and still have space to boil freely and if the lid is tight-fitting. There also must be a wire or wooden rack to set the jars on inside the container. You must have a steam pressure canner for processing low acid foods. There is no substitute for this piece of Farm Bureau Eager To Inform General Public Northern Illinois County Farm Bureau members are eager to let the consumer know something about farming, food production and food values, and are combining their efforts in a loosely-knit but effective C o n s u m e r I n f o r m a t i o n program established a couple of months ago. Ervin Walters, president of the McHenry County Farm Bureau, is the chairman. Goals include an effort to present food production to the consumer from the viewpoint of the people who have the responsibility of producing this food regardless of weather problems, climbing costs of fertilizer, fuel and labor, and lowering costs paid to farmers for livestock and certain other products. "We are not trying to generate sympathy; rather, understanding and an exchange of ideas is our goal," said Walters, a beef producer who is closing down his expansive cattle pens because he cannot afford to continue losing $100-$125 aheadon the steers. "I like their company, and they look good in the feedlot," says Walters in a pensive moment, "but the truth is I can sell the grain at a decent price and not worry whether or not Mrs. Consumer will continue a major change in her buying habits." Farmers from McHenry, Kane, Lake, DuPage, Cook, DeKalb and other counties will have a chance to talk with equipment, she continues. An accurate pressure gauge is essential for proper processing, and your canner may be tested by calling the McHenry County Home Economics Extension service. If the gauge is incorrect, but not by more than four pounds, you can correct it by processing at a different pressure level, says Pat. Be sure that all of the glass jars and closures that you use are in perfect condition. Ms. Frank cautions not to use any with cracks, chips, dents, or rust because these defects will prevent airtight sealing. Never reuse rubber rings or the lid part of a two-piece metal cap. Do not use "packers" jars. Use only jars designed especially for home canning. ' If you are planning to can foods this summer, she suggests you beat the rush and get your equipment early. Feel free to call the McHenry county Extension home economists with questions or problems this canning season. consumers on their .ideas on meats and other foods June 15- 16 because they plan an ambitious display. In between efforts to plant com and drill beans, farmers from these counties have held four meetings in recent weeks to plan a consumer-directed display at an area shopping center. Trying to communicate with consumers is a major challenge facing farmers, and the time when farmers seemed to be asking for sympathy is long gone. They would appreciate understanding, a listening ear, some words of advice on what consumers like, and so this is a step forward. The public relations staff of the Illinois Agricultural association is cooperating in this effort to reach the people who buy the products from the farm. It still takes gals as long to dress, as when they wore clothes. More people would likely live to a ripe old age, if they didn't kill themselves preparing for it. 4* EVERY NIL ABUT A Find out about the Sawyer way to prepare yourself for a rewarding career in the excit­ ing world of business.
