Members Find Fresh Vegetables Are Not in Market Monday Mornings. The Community Canning club has decided to change its working days. Monday is not a good day for canning, as the fresh vegetablés are not in market on Monday mornings. So the rooms will be closed on Monday. In- stead of Monday, they wiil be open~on Saturday morning. Another change will be made in the working hours. These will be from 8 o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon— rot 9 to 4 as formerly. Work may be brought from 8 to 11 in the morning. That brought so late ag 11 shbuld be thoroughly_ prepared for blanching. The club is now prépared for any Kkind of work and no orders will bs turned down or refused at the rooms. The first eight daye’ tryout of the sys- tem has been most satisfactory and in- creased facllities have been added, so that now the club is able to promise the community much botter service than before. Native peaches are ripening and one West Side woman has already canned 10 quarts from her own trees. The late crop is not going to be so plenti- ful, and those wanting peaches this winter will.do well to put up the early ones. We note that in New Britain ‘he home gardens are reducing the de- mand for vegetables to such a dezres that string beans are being offered at 40 cents a bushel.
