Speedier Process Expected to Benefit Vegetable Growing Areas. WASHINGTON, Sept. IX (A!1) The agriculture depart meut ha.- announced a new discovery niakinu posfiide the rapid (leh)diatiou of vegetables, Offfciuls said (he process may prove ol )i rent benefit to Hie veget able liKiwini; regions oi' the 1'acific noilhwerft and I'lah. They sai'l It will provide a sat isfactory method for storing fleshy plain materials like potatoes with out his.'; from rotting, frec.ii)K, respiration, moulding and eiuynie act ion. The new pi'oceMH, the depaitiueul said, provides first for exposure id' the vegetable to the vapor of a chemical which causes it to be come waler-soaked. In this condi tion, the Juice Is more easily press ed out fin- immediate use or for conceiitralion for future use. Chemicals round lo he errective included toluene, chloroform, ether, chnzol, petrol el her. carbon tetra chloride, sulphur dioxide and chlor ine gases. Ill licellt tests. Sliced KW'eel po tatoes, carrots, rutabaga, beets au1 green beans wen exposed to the vapor of carbon tetrachloride. All we I'm waier-soaked in an hour. The Juice was then pressed out. It was from ;u lo s'i per cent of the total Weight of the law vegetables. Juice Keeps Indefinitely "The pressed vegetable residue of vegetables Healed according to this process, Hie department said, "dried lo equilibrium within :tii hours. This contrasts with the older and more costly process In which thin slices of untreated vegetables, particularly sweet pota toes, after long periods of air dry ing, still contain fiesh tissue on the inside. "The juice, concentrated to a syrup, and the pressed residue, re duced to Hie :fir-diy comliiton, will Uvep HidcltnllMty for future, use and manufacture." Or. K. K. Hopkins, chemical ap pointee working In the laboraloty of I he new sweet potato starch plant at Laurel, Miss,, discovered Hie new process. i..e department said, while he and other chemists were seeking a method of prevent ing deterioration of potatoes while In storage.

(Al') Km imaling the total Oregon wal nut crop this year at 7( per cent of normal, Iouih Itnminuiy, local merchandise broker, wnid many of the orchards showed signn of blight and not more than fu per t-eni of Hie crop will bo shelled In oiiie sections. The largest crop In years in Califm niu point to Hie probability of a low price, lit tmid. Itosuiuuy said the largest fil bert crop In the history of Ore gon Is in prospect, with the total production of Oregon and southern Washington estimated at from 4u, uimi io ir,tHMi hagn. "Hue lo the higher prices on ISrazils, wiiolesalo grocers and chains, no doubt, will use more filberts in their mixed nuts. "We hope the 'powers to he' will benefit by last year's disastrous policy of naming such high prices. This is an exceptional year to introduce, Oregon filberts in east ern markets. It is entirely in Hie hands of the associations whei h er eastern buyers w ill take the filberts, as the prices will gov- ru the sale T Heavier Carryover Prospect Will Call for Further Crop Reduction. A warning to wheat growers of the nation of the dangers of over production next year, recently ia su-d by the bureau of agricultural economic, has been hacked up hy an advance statement from the ag ricultural adjustment udminist ra tion indicating that the probable provisions of the 19H8 agricultural conservation program will call for a further reduction in noil deplet ing crop acreages on tho part of those who participate in the pro gram. The present situation regarding wheat has been emphasized re-t-eiitly by an analysis issued by Hie extension economist at Oregon I State college, in which It was' shown tliLt while present prices of wheat are the mojt favorable in many years because of the world shortage, lt is highly improtmbte that even the increased e::oria of tho current marketing year will succeed iu preventing an excep tionally large carryover next July. Carryover to be Heavier Latest estimates are that the car ryover next July will be more than l!Pt million hush els, as compared with a normal carryover of about 125 million bushels. If present fa vorable prices result in an equal plaining of wheat for next year's crop, the combined production from average yields plus the carryover would give America one of the largest wheat surpluses in its history. With this situation In mind, the AAA is advising winter wheat pro ducers and other farmers who grow fall-sown crops, that the. probable provisions in the 1!(3K program will call for seeding of soil depleting crops of not to exceed NO per cent of the 1!t:i7 soil depleting base acreage. ThU suggestion is made at this time for the guidance of farmers who need this information ed in Washington, following the before the full details of the 193$ ! collection of recommendations from program are announced. The out- j all parts of the couutry, is not yet line of the program beiu? develop- completed. See How LITTLE it Costs! LET THE ENGINEER do the driving while you relax, read, sleep, enjoy yourself.
