Mr. Wlegand emphasized the fact,
however, that safety requires that all
home-canned vegetables, however pre
pared, should always be cooked at
least 15 minutes at boiling tempera
ture after opening before they are
even tasted, and that any showing
signs of spoilage, however slight,
should be destroyed by burning.

pressure cooker Is 240 degrees fahren

pounds on the gage.
In cases where It is Impossible to
use a pressure cooker to obtain com
plete sterilization, however, Mr. Wle
gand recommends cooking with boil
ing water and adding acid to the
vegetables to prevent the development
of Bacillus botllus. Acids such as
lemon Juice or vinegar are used, and
can be added directly to the brine.
For most vegetables three ounces of
salt and 8 ounces of lemon Juice
or 10 ounces of vinegar to one gal
lon of water, or one tablespoon of salt
and 4 tablespoons or lemon Juice
or 8 of vinegar to one quart of water
is sufficient.
Uso of this treatment does not
mean that the vegetables need taste
sour, as the acidified liquid may be
poured off when the can or Jar Is
opened and the vegetable cooked In
fresh liquid. A small amount of
baking soda may also be used If de
sired to neutralize the acid.

Mr., Mrs, Buchanan
Have Golden Wed.
Mr. and Mrs, Roe Buchanan, their
daughters Jean and Mrs. Ellen Mc
Gregor, and her two 'children, and J.
E. Reynolds returned Sunday from
Burns where they spent Saturday at
tending the celebration In connec
tion'with. the "Golden Wedding" an
niversary of Mr. Buchanan's parents,
Mr. and Mrs, J. W, Buchanan, pioneer
residents' of this valley. Mr. and Mrs.
Buchanan's four children, Mrs. Eliza
Jane Hamilton, of Burns, Albert Leo
Buchanan of Hood River. Roe of La
Orande and Joseph M. of Crane, were
all present, together with the nine
grandchildren and six great-grandchildren,
making a part of the com
pany of 92 people who spent the day
at the ranch homo of the honored
host and hostess, 20 miles east of
Burns. There was one other guest
especially honored, also, J. E. Reyn
olds, of La Grande, who Is the only
person living -today who witnessed
the marriage half a century ago. Mr.
and Mrs. Buchanan were married at
Union, May 12, 1884 by Willis Skiff,
who was a Justice of the peace. Fol
lowing their marriage they lived at
Island City until they moved to the
Burns country which has since been
their home.
Mrs. Buchanan was the daughter
'of- Mr. and Mrs. 'W.-P; 'Gfttca"-whb
canio by wagon train to this valley
from Missouri in 1879. They settled
on what Is now the Charles Smutz
home on the slde-hlll road near La
Grande, Mr. Gates having owned that
for a period of years. Mrs. Buchanan
has been in rather frail health for
some time, and has been confined to
her bed for the past two years.
Whether from the exhilaration of the
approaching anniversary or a general
Improvement, three days before the
golden wedding, she became strong
enough to get up In her chair and
was at the feast at noon and yester
day drove Into Burns with her son
from La Grande. .
Mr. Buchanan was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. D. Buchanan, who come
west in 1865. They left their home
In Ohio by ox-team train, but in the
North Platte country in Nebraska,
their oxen were stolen and it was
necessary for them to use their milk
cows for "pulling" power from then
on. Reaching this valley they set
tled on what is now the A. J. Stange
ranch east of Island City, where they
resided for 20 years.
Saturday In addition to the won
derful opportunity for visiting and
renewing old acquaintances, included
a gigantic dinner served to the nearly
100 people at noon, and a program
In the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Bu
chanan were generously remembered
by their friends in the way of golden
wedding gifts.

CORVALLIS (Special) With the
return of the ennntng season. Ore
son homematters are once more faced
with the problem of how to be cer
tain that the home-canned product
Is free lrom the organism known as
Bacillus botllus. which produces the
virulent botullnus poison.
The Bacillus botllus grows under
conditions where little or no oxygen
Is present and where the acid con-
ten Is low or the condition Is slightly
alkaline, according to B. H. Wle.
Band, professor of horticultural pro
ducts at Oregon State college. As
all vegetables except tomatoes aro
very low In acidity, when packed In
cans or Jars they offer an excellent
opportunity for the development of
this organism, unless the container
is properly sterilized, he says.
Since not less than six hours at
boiling temperature which would
completely disintegrate vegetables
are required to kill some strains 01
the botullnus organism, use of the
pressure cooker Is the only feasible-
method of obtaining proper steriliza
tion available for home canning, Mr.
Wlegand says. In operating the pres

Frank's fourth birthday and the little
folks were given the party by his
mother, Mrs. Prank Tuckey at their

children's games and refreshments
with the big birthday cake, prettily
decorated, quite the center of attrac
tlon.

1934 Chicks Are
Fewer, Hatchery
Report Reveals
CORVALLIS, Ore. (Special) Indi
cations are that the number of sale
able chicks hatched In the United
States is running less than a year
ago, although future bookings might
suggest some Increase, says a sum
mary of the government hatchery
report Just released by the agricul
tural economics department of the
OSC extension service.
Saleable chicks hatched by com
mercial hatcheries of the United
States during March were 6.3 per cent
fewer than in March 1033. The total
output for January. February and
March is about 8 per cent less than
for the same months last year. De
creases In March as compared with
a year ago occurred in the middle
and south Atlantic states and in the
northeast central and south central
states. The Pacific coast, mountain
and New England states reported In
creases. However, the only section
In which the commercial production
of baby chicks is showing a consis
tent expansion over a year ago is the
New England group, and hero most
of the increase Is believed to be for
broiler production. Official reports
on farm hatchings are not available.
Bookings by commercial hatcheries
in the whole country for April or later
delivery were nearly 6 per cent great
er than a year ago in spite of a de
crease of 14 to 15 per cent In the
Pacific coast and mountain states.
This is a greater Increase than was
reported on March 1. It does not
necessarily mean, however, that more
chicks will be hatched, as the close
adherence of hatcheries to their code
is encouraging buyers to place orders
earlier than last year.
"The Eyes of Texas," long sung at
gatherings of Toxans from coast to
coast, ohly recently was designated
the official song of the University of
Texas.
