For the benefit of those wishing to
enter the canning contest, we print tho
following excerpt from a letter from
Miss Isabel Bewick, Homo Economics
Representative of the Allegheny County
Agricultural Extension Association, explaining the points used in judging:
If canning boots, for example,
they should be as nearly uniform in
size -as possible, as nearly the natural color as can be, and neatly arranged in the jar to conserve space
but not increase color. _o
Quality
Liquid clear—no  sign of decomposition. Product should have retained its Shape and not have any bloiu-
ishos such as blight on string beans. 50
Paekttgc
Uniform cans and covers of the
same type should be used, also labels
uniform and well placed. 10
