Cold Pock Canning
A new bulletin is now available
for • canning certain vegetables
using the cold pack method.
Basically, this method is:
1. Wash all jars in hot soapy
water and rinse well before can-
ning. Jars need not be sterilized
when canning in the pressure can-
ner.
2. Prepare and pack vegetables
according to instructions.
3. Wipe off top of jar to remove
any food particles. t
4. Use only two-piece self-seal-
ing closures and tighten with hand.
5. Place the closed containers
of food in the canner which con-
tains lVn to two inches of hot wa-
ter.
6. Place the lid on the canner
and fasten securely. If the lid is
fastened by clamps, tighten op-
posite clamps moderately at first.
Then go back over the whole set
to tighten each pair as much as
possible (with fingers only).
7. Leave the petcock open until
the steam escapes steadily for 10
minutes so that no air will remain
in the canner. Close the petcock.
8. Count processing time as soon
as the pressure reaches 10 pounds
or the adjusted pressure. Adjust
pressure according to the 'follow-
ing table for altitudes more than
1,000 feet:
Ft. Elevation Lbs. Pressure to Use
1-1000 10
1000-3000 11
3000-5000 12
See specific vegetable for the
length of time to process.
9. Keep a uniform pressure by
adjusting the heat or by moving
the canner carefully.
10. At the end of processing
time remove the canner from the
heat and allow the pressure to re-
turn to zero. Open the petcock
gradually and remove the cover.
Leave jars in canner about five
minutes. Remove jars and place
right side up on a rack far enough
apart to cool quickly. Do not re-
tighten two-piece self -sealing
closures.
Vegetables that may be canned
by this method are fresh lima
beans, snap beans, carrots, cream
style corn, whole kernel corn,
English peas, triack-eyed peas,
summer squash. (Write or call the
office for further information.

May 1-7 Designated Correct Posture
Week Throughout The Nation
The week of May 1 through 7
has again been designated as Cor-
rect Posture (Week by chiroprac-
tors throughout the nation and
Canada.
This week has been set aside by
chiropractors for the past several
years to call the attention of the
public to the importance of good
posture to good health.
The popular conception of pos-
ture has been that it affects the
appearance of the individual. Chi-
ropractors state that this is correct
and important, but there is great-
er significance of the value of cor-
rect posture in the fact that it has
a direct bearing on the health of
an individual.

Land leveling for efficient use
of irrigation water is one of the
major conservation practices car-
ried out by rice farmers in the Dis-
trict Cooperators report that this
practice alone will increase yields
at least 10 per cent. It is, however,
only a part of a sound conserva-
tion rice farming operation. Land
leveling coupled with a good wa-
ter distribution and disposal sys-
tem, proper fertilization, and a
systematic -#oil building program
between rioe crops will result in
even greater benefits.

Chiropractors cite authorities
who have made exhaustive studies
of the influence of posture on
health. These authorities have said
that the human body is at its best
state of health when all of its
various parts are in their proper
position and in proper relation-
ship to each other.
Chiropractors hold that the
spinal column is the most impor-
tant consideration in postural prob-
lems. This is because the spinal
column provides rigidity for the
trunk of the body and makes pos-
sible the various activities which
the body performs. A ctrooked
spinal column will result in a
crooked body, commonly recogniz-
ed as poor posture.
Another important feature of
the spinal column emphasized by
chiropractors is that it contains
the spinal cord and also provides
openings through which the nerves
branch o'ff the spinal cord pass to
reach the various organs, muscles,
blood vessels and other parts of
the body. It is at these openings
that a crooked spinal column can
cause trouble which may result in
illness or pain.
Chiropractors also point out that
a crooked spinal column is a rob-
ber of body energy. They state
that this is because the abnormal
curves cause muscle strain and !
that a muscle under strain uses up
body energy. Backache is a com-
mon symptom of this condition.
The purpose of Correct Posture •
Week is to call public attention to
the importance of correct posture,
especially its effect on good health.
