Canning Peaches on the Farm

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In View of the rapid extension of peach culture in recent years into new regions, and with the increasing possibility that conditions unfavorable to the satisfactory marketing of the crop in a fresh state may prevail in some of them during almost any season, the attention of the growers is more and more being turned to the handling of the fruit in other ways. Canning is one of the possibilities first to receive consideration in many instances. The process is simple; it requires but a comparatively small investment, and one season with another it has been in the past a fairly profitable method of utilizing large quantities of fruit.
