Agent Answers Questions
About Making of Jelly
IT
Cecil Skaggs, manager of
Canes Island Farms at Gould,
put out his basic application of
complete fertilizer early this
spring as usual, intending to
come back with applications of
nitrogen following grazing or
hay cutting, but he tells me he
is having trouble finding
amonium nitrate. This is a
common and recommended
procedure used by many
producers However, trans-
portation and fuel shortages,
plus other problems in the
industry are making nitrogen
materials difficult to obtain.
Dr. C.D. Welch, State
Extension Soils Specialist,
says that numerous reports
indicate that an increasing
proportion of solid nitrogen
will be from urea He says it is
generally less expensive to
convert anhydrous ammonia to
urea as compared to
ammonium nitrate or am-
monium sulfate. This means
that probably urea is going to
be in better general supply
than other nitrogen materials.
This then brings up the
question of how to make the
best use of urea, especially
since there is general agree-
ment that there is greater
potential loss of nitrogen from
it by amonia volitization when
applied to the surface of soils
and plants.
Dr. Welch gives the following
suggestions for applying urea
containing fertilizers.
1 Do not spray on stubble
and avoid applying when soil is
wet and drying conditions
exist
2 Put fertilizer into the soil if g
possible. §
3 Apply just prior to s
irrigation or rain. ~
■1 If 2 and 3 above cannot be
accomplished, apply under dry
conditions when humidity is
low and put in contact with the 5
soil if possible. g
Research indicates that loss- a
es of nitrogen from urea §
fertilizer runs in the vicinity of s
10 to 20 percent. You will need ||
to increase your application to fg
take care of this loss, or risk s
reduced yields j|

1 knosv that the Cherokee
County Livestockmen's As-
sociation appreciates all those
who cooperated in conducting
the clinics and those who
brought pets to the clinics for
vaccination. This cuts down on
the possibility of rabies
outbreaks in the rural areas
where livestock populations
are high.

Haying is active in Cherokee
County and good rains this
week will make conditions
favorable for a second cutting
in 3 to 4 weeks with adequate
fertilization.
We're seeing a variety of
haying methods this year,
regular bailing, 3 ton stacks,
11 -j ton stacks and 1500 pound
round bales.
Those that have had a couple
of years feeding experience
with the stacks and big round
bales will probably tell you
that*you're going to need to put
up more hay per cow with
these systems. It is more
difficult to limit consumption
where these methods are
employed and generally there
is more waste involved.
Sometimes up to 50 percent
extra may be needed. So you
may want to keep this in mind
and allow for it if you're
stacking or using the big round
bales

S A GREAT
TO READ
THE CLASSIFIEDS
High quality in jellied fruit
products depends on so many
complex factors that it is
seldom possible to give just one
answer to questions about
problems in making these
products. Using recipes from a
reliable source-and following
directions accurately-is the
surest aid to success but does
not guarantee it; it is
impossible to assure uniform
results because fruit varies
widely in jellying quality.
The answers given here to
questions commonly asked by
homemakers who have had
unsatisfactory results in mak-
ing jellies and jams suggest
possible reasons for lack of
success.
Q. What makes jelly cloudy?
A. One or more of the
following may cause cloudy
jelly: Pouring jelly mixture
into glasses too slowly. Allow-
ing jelly mixture to stand
before it is poured. Juice was
not properly strained and so
contained pulp. Jelly set too
fast-usually the result of using
too-green fruit.
Q. Why do crystals form in
jelly?
A. Crystals throughout the
jelly may be caused by too
much sugar in the jelly
mixture, or cooking the
mixture too little, too slowly, or
too long Crystals that form at
the top of jelly that has been
opened and allowed to stand
are caused by evaporation of
liquid. Crystals in grape jelly
may be tartrate crystals.
Q What causes jelly to be too
soft ?
A One or more of the
following may be the cause:
Too much juice in the mixture
Too little sugar Mixture not
acid enough Making too big a
batch at one time
y What can be done to make
soft jellies firmer?
A. It is not always possible to
remake soft jellies so that the
product will be satisfactory.
However, soft jellies can
sometimes be improved by
recooking according to the
directions given below. It is
best to recook only 4 to 6 cups
of jelly at one time.
To remake with powdered
pectin. Measure the jelly to be
recooked. For each quart of
jelly measure 'j cup sugar, U
cup water, and 4 teaspoon
powdered pectin. Mix the
pectin and water and bring to
filing, stirring constantly to
prevent scorching. Add the
jelly and sugar. Stir thorough-
ly. Bring to a full rolling boil
over high heat, stirring con-
stantly Boil mixture hard for
'2 minute. Remove jelly from
the heat, skim, pour into hot
containers, and seal.
To remake with liquid
pectin. Measure the jelly to be
recooked. For each quart of
jelly measure J4 cup sugar, 2
tablespoons lemon juice, and 2
tablespoons liquid pectin.
Bring jelly to boiling over high
heat. Quickly add the sugar,
lemon juice, and pectin and
bring to a full rolling boil; stir
constantly Boil mixture hard
for 1 minute Remove jelly
from the heat, skim, pour into
hot containers, and seal.
To remake without added
pectin. Heat the jelly to boiling
and boil for a few minutes. Use
refrigerator test to determine
just how long to cook it. Pour a
small amount of boiling jelly
on a cold plate, and put it in the
ice compartment of a refrig
erator for a few minutes. If the
mixture gells, it should be
done During this test, the jelly
mixture should be removed
from the heat Remove jelly
from the heat, skim, pour into
hot containers and seal
