The curry sauce was de signed to make the East Indian's In sipid and inevitable bowl of rice more palatable and we con profit from their example by using this distinctive fla vor with our own often repeated foods, A curry Is invariably served with rice and may or may not use meat or fish in its make-up. vegetahia curries are excellent and help solve the- evoryday luncheon . or supper problem. The rloe forms tho border and the other material In the curry gives the unusual and piquant flavor to the dish. A very attractive way to use left over meats is to reheat them In a curry sauce and serve them In a bor der of rioe. v The following basic rule for curry sauce has been modified slightly to suit western palates. Even so some tastes will prefer less curry. Curry Haace ; One tablespoon (scant) curry pow der, 1 tablespoon flour, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 cups tomato Juice, 1 small onion, 1 tablespoon chutney sauce, 1 tablespoons lemon Juice, 1 tea spoon sugar, l teaspoon salt, Mi tea spoon pepper. Melt butter and stir In curry pow der and flour. Cook and stir until frothy. Slowly add tomato julcfs stir ring constantly. When smooth add minced onion, chutney, lemon Juice sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer for thirty minutes. If chutney sauce Is not available, chopped cucumber rings or mixed sweet pickle can be UBed.' 1 Tender left-over veal, lamb, mut ton, beef, chicken or fish can be re heated in this cause and served In a border of cooked rice.

(Special) The starting of farm-work has been held . standstill In this community by the extremely wet weather. At the start of last week, the soil in many of the fields had become about dry enough to allow the start of plowing. However, with numerous snow squalls and rain during the Greater Dart of the week the soil has become very soft again and will Oheap cuts of medt also can be used.

Judging from reports coming In from county agentaj unu noma aemonsirauwi agents wno are co-operating In furthering this practical form of both farm and un employment relief. Meanwhile to meet the unusually heavy demand for gardening Infor mation, the extension service here has Just published two bulletins by A. G. B. Bouquet, head of vegetable gardening. One of these Is entitled "Growing Fall and Early Winter Vege tables," and Is devoted to culture of such vegetables as cabbage, cauliflow er, bruesels sprouts. Bplnach, celery, Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, and many others found less commonly in tho garden.

What this organized attention 4o gardening may mean to the state is indicated in an outline of this pro ject adopted Jn one .of -the-, .counuea where .active co-operative work Is un der way. In this county the present economic conditions nave sent scores of workers Xrom ..the cities to small farms so that every hut or cabin is occupied oy those who hope to pro duce much of their lood irom their gardens. In this same county approximately 10 per cent of this year's budget Is set aside for "aid to poor." Thus if those families, many of them Inex perienced In gardening or in food preservation, can be helped produce much of their own food this year, the entire county will be helped. But these gardening projects have a much wider object than mere un employment aid, as they are aimed at the four-fold objective of aiding rural families provide a year round vege table supply, hdlplng homemakers bring consumption of vegetables up to health needs, assisting rural home makers in preservation of form pro duced foods, and promoting exchange of surplus foodstuffs. Five counties already report definite enrollment of families In this project numbering from one to three hundred.

The big school will be held on the campus of the state college at Corvallis, June 13 to 26. Each year a group of Union county boys and girls have this splendid opportunity afford ed by the summer school and in variably they return very enthusiastic .over the classes, the entertainment and the new friends made. It is stated that the cost of scholarships has been reduced this year from $13 to 13. this paying the student's board and fees while on the state col lege campus. As we have said before in this col umn Josephine Fisher of Lower Cove, Is the only girl who belongs to the Imbler Sheep club. But she works as hard at tt as any of the other mem bers, we'll wager. Right now she Is busy getting her ewes and lambs on the way whch leads to ribbons at the Eastern Oregon livestock show. The ewe which Josephine showed last year has a fine sturdy ram lamb, then her two-year-old ewe, recently had twin lambs. One was lost so she now has two fine ram lambs which she Is beginning to feed according to: Hoyle. - I Mil" Tho Beef Calf club was organized j Thursday night at the home of H. G.

It will b held at a later date to be announced soon. HOME CROWN FOOD SAVES CONSIDERABE ON LIVING COST OF WALLOWA,' Ore. (Special) Seed ing of rye , for summer pasture and also for hay purposes, is said to be meeting with much' favor among some of the .farmers in the dry parts of ithis county. The amount of rye grown in the county has been quite small during the past number of years and ,the supply of seed Is said to be ratter" small. Reports from. Enterprise Indicate that the demand lor seed has been quite heavy this spring and has resulted in a con siderable boost in price. Some of those having some seed rye for sale are asking C32 per ton. During the past number of years much experi menting with various types of grasses, sweet clover and other plants nas been done at many of the dry land farms. However, in many in stances, they have not proven very satisfactory In supplying the larger amounts of hay and late summer pas ture for which they were intended and this, together with the extreme feed shortage, which has been ex perienced in practically all parts of the county during the past winter is causing some of the farmers in the dry Areas to again think seriously of returning at least a portion of their fields to growing of rye in an effort to meet these urgent needs. Union o. . Lambs Aocordlng to average estimates, says the Farm. Bulletin .the range lamb crop in Union county this year is about 80 per oent. increase as com pared to around 100 per cent for nor- xrtal. Farm lambing has been poor er than usual, but will run safely over 100 per cent. Lambs are In poor condition but those on grass are beginning' to improve. The Blue Mt. Livestock association recently Incor porated, plans a first shipment of pooled lambs about the middle of May, according to T. B. Johnson, president. Many farm flock lambs are being fed grain In creeps to get them finished for the early market. Some Lambs Shipped Improved growing conditions for a iess than normal lamb crop, but some .decline In prices Recently on new .crop lambs-were reported by-jthe -O. S. C. extension service at the close of the first week, of April. With an abundance of moisture In tlie soil, Oregon ranges and pastures are now. making good growth. Con ditions in the high mountains, where the snow covering exceeds the normal lor this time of the year, are encour aging to stockmen. Many sheep and .cattle, especially in southern counties. are being moved to cirly ranges. While some new crop lambs from Willamette valley flocks havo already gone to jnarket, lambing In the range bands of Eastern Oregon is Just well under way. In valley flocks the lamb crop was heavy, but In the band3 of Eastern and Southern Oregon, con siderable loss of old ewes occurred and more than normal loss of lambs due to poor condition of ewes follow ing a severe winter on poor quality feed. i ; Are Planting Rye ON THE AIR -:- Station KOAC Extension Service Monday May 2 7:00 a. m..
