Thepreaent development of the Klnf'i Food Products company is oaly tha beginning. Within a tew rears we may look for the estao linment of the company's plants it several points In the Wilamette ralley, but the Salem plant doubt-1 1ms always will be the mother of the brood. Salem is the center of inch a magnificent frnlt and veg etable growing region that she leeffli assured of maintaining for ill time her premier position in dehydration. What does dehydration mean to the grower of the Willamette val ley! Sa'ety! An assured market! A continuance, so long as the King company controls the field, of that splendid spirit of coopera tes which has characterized its dealings with the growers in the past It means that in the lean years, in the seasons of inclem tst weather when untimely or ex ceptionally heavy rains come to damag the crops, the producer eaa rnah his product to the dehy dration plant and save a loas. For the King's Food Products com pany plan w erect ft large capac ity eold storage warehouse, cap able ot keeping In first class con ation, Jor future dehydration, an immense tonnage ot the products of the field. The onion growers of the Lake Labinh region have reason to be lieve In dehydration. The un profitable prices of the past sea son brought them discouragement. It was a question whether har testlBg the crop would even pro duce a small profit. Some of the growers were caught with their crop still In the field w&en the nosual rains of last fall occurred.- To many the crop was lost. Suddenly, as a gift from heaven, the manager ot the Salem plant of the King's Food Products com tasy determined upon an experi ment. It waa a success.

MADE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TIE IIIIS1 IHI TIE RICH SALEM DISTRICT strlngless beans, grown In the Willamette valley, attain an ex cellence equalled in few sections of the country. The volume of this business is an important factor in the upbuilding or the valley. The King company has contracted for immense acreages in Marlon and Polk counties, and in a little wh:l. truck loads of beans will be driven to the warehouse to be dehydrated and to spread the fame of the Wil lamette valley and Oregon throughout the country.

Yet it has been observed, as an interesting type of phenomenon, that whenever an actual need arises in the work and general welfare of the world, new devices and Improved methods thrust forward to meet it Men call this phase of movement "Progress." but It has, as well, the hallmark of the providential. Buccewwr of the CVIlar. Dehydration succeeds the cel lar in conservation of food prod ucts and through this latest pro cess the vegetables of June and the fruits of autumn are mad? available at all seasons, neither stewed and stored in long arrays of glass jars and cans, nor dumped in dusty bins to suffer rot and loss but ready on the instant to become again the fresh produca of their own particular month. An interesting and valuable contribu tion is this to the comfort and need of mankind, and Oregon where the fruits of field and or chard bear prodigally takes pride in the growth of this new industry within its borders and in the contribution so made to the larder of the land. For the King's Food Producte company is the largest producer of dehydrated fruits and vegetables in the United States operating two factories, one at Salem and one at The Dalles, with an output last season of 6000 green tons and with plana calling for nearly twice that output this year. Tewtiruony of Ir. Wiley Most ancient of projects is that of the storage of food stuffs, to permit the prevalence of plenty in the lean months or unsuccessful uitnna anil from the rranaries of Pharaoh to the present no more Important device has oeen evoivea than that of dehydration, of which Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, noted food authority, recently said: "There Is no doubt in my mind the dehy dration process is the coming method of preserving." Dr. Wil ey's comment followed his visit of Inspection to the Salem plants last fall, where he evinced a keen ly delighted interest in the pro cess. Far Cry From Old Method The process of dehydration is far removed from that of old fashioned drying, though It takes up the intent of the latter and carries it through to complete suc cess. Literally, the term means the extraction of water or the elements of water, and In Its modern application It achieves this important and desirable re sult without loss In any part of the food values or palatability of the original material, retaining intact the mineral salts, vita mines, acids, proteins, etc. in the same cellular structures wherein nature compounded them of soil, sunshine and rain. An interesting process, too. well wor thy of comparison with the meth ods It so completely displaces. Xew Procnw Dewcribcd By the, old methods of drying, the heated air waves swept over or through the material at 140 to 190 degrees, carmelizing the sug ar content of fruit and often seal ing the surface of the material, thus preventing the escape of the moisture and facilitating decay and fermentation. But always was the cell structure demolished by the Intense heat, bo that the addition of water when the mater ial was ready for use failed utter- Drug garden. May 5. Sugar beets. May 12. Sorghum.

Then there was the older method of sun-drying. In the drying season hundreds of trays bearing the various fruits were left in the fields exposed to the blazing sun. And not infrequent ly the fruit in the trays became dust-laden from passing vehicles and from the dust of the workers in the orchard passing up snd down in the alleys between the great rows of trays. The sun dried fruit was exposed to the contact with flies, moths and other insects and very frequently became the depository for the eggs of the insects and for germs from disease infested areas. These old-fashioned, unscienti fic and unsanitary methods have given way to the absolute and per fect system or preservation now known as dehydration. taring Direct to Nature. " The process of scientific dehy dration is widely at variance with the obsolete heated-air or sun-drying method.', for its basic prin ciple is the gradual extraction ot the moisture by means of low warm temperatures going direct to nature for the study of devices. Nature Is not only a good pro vider, but an excellent instructor and bo it is that dehydration avails itself of the principle of the wind, and wafts over its mr.tertaia a torrent of air comparable to a gale, and at a low temperature. Once only does the air pass that way. In continuous volume, at the rate of from 2 5,000 to 50,000 feet a minute, for the moisture and odor-laden current Is not permit ted to penetrate from one product to another. It is as though the material itself, on some bright day of summer were exposed to a sturdy wind from heat-laden fleJds. Quite gradually the moisture leaves -the material at the lure of this unvarying gale, deserting the undamaged cell structures and be queathing a rroduct that retains the flavor and food values of its original condition. The absence of moisture made possible the ideal preservation of materials subject ed to dehydration the return or the moisture will complete the miracle. Into the retained cell structures when dehydrated fruits and vege tables are soaked for use. seep.' the water content of other days, restoring them to color and freshness- with the same natural od ors, flavors and food properties that were theirs long months be fore, when tbey left the orchard or garden. From pounds to oun ces, without the sacrifice of qual ity or food value, is the natural achievement of the King's process which gave rise to Dr. Wiley's prediction of its widespread adop tion. Much in Small Kpar. What is the amount of moisture so deleted, to come again in the kitchen as white magic most wel come to tho housewife? The ra tlo varies according to the product but a few instances will present the more common reductions in weight. Ten pounds of fresh ap ples arc required to make one pound of d-iydrated product; five pounds or npricots: eight pounds of pears; ten pounds of peaches; twelve pounds of cabbage; ten pounds of carrots; fifteen pounds of spinach: nine pounds of squash: ten pounds of onions; fi--leen and a half pounds of celerv; fifteen pounds of tomatoes; six pounds of potatoes and on throueh the long list of produce treated by dehydration. It follow that this sharp de crease In weight Is attended y .. HMrP3P in bulk from one-half to three-quarters of the original, and both storage and transportation are consequently facilitated. One begins to appre ciate the worth of Dr. iley s prophecy, for the advantages oi dehydration over those of canning leave room Jor no other conclu sion that that it is tremendously superior and an economic measure tr-at cannot be set aside. It Is ob vious that water is not desirable for purchase in food stuffs, nor worth paying freight and storage upon when components o " crops are moved to distant markets. Kreh From Held The King's process demands fully matured vegetables, deliver ed from the rield within,24 hours and sun-ripened fruit picked at perfection and hastened to the factory This hard-and-fast dehy dration policy plays an impor tant role in the dietetic values of ih, product, for both chemical proof and actual practical exper. nient prove that properly dehy drated fruit and vegetable?, com ing fresh to the factory, retain their full life sustaining and anti scorbutic properties, while there is a marked loss of these values in withered produce, such as is often marketed and sought as fresh from the field. To Itewrue of Producer. Dehydration comes, to the res cue of the producer, as well as to the relief of tho consumer, for it makes possible the disposal of crops that will not "keep," as wit ness an Incident of the past sea son in the Willamette valley. The onion crop of these prolific acre was large and of fine quality, possessing tho requisite tang to ilil'iioi t-ilie soup uml add zest to tn! xirluin. Hut the water content was attnormaiiy liinh, and while the onions re ideal for imine-dii.li- use lh-y -re destined to -pH il held lour' in storage. With out dehydration u-'i u crop would have ween pridnilly valueless with dehydration it became avail able as excellent food. For the ?ntiro crop pa.sl throueh the process, and literally brought "tears of joy" to the eyes of the winter-bound chef ' or housewife. And the incident itself is but typ ical of many such. To Hold Is to Have With its constantly augmented populace to feed, America and the world as well, must learn con servation, elimination of waste, through thrifty thought. The war era measures of conservation were a trifle different in applica tion, but they made plainly evi dent the truth that to hold is to have and that conservation is the armed champion that routs want and shoi tate of supply. The mod ern process of dehydrating food stuffs is conservation raised to the last degree. All surplus crops, all perishable produce, are ren dered available for food not to morrow, nor next week, for there is no need for haste, but net year or whenever the appetite impels. Spalleosly Clean. A trip through the Oreeon de. hydration plants, where luscious scarlet tomatoes, blushing fruits and a score of choice products are in seasonable transformation is not the ordinary factory excur sion through haste and whir and gloom. The factories are bright and airy, snow-white of wall and table like some vast kitchen where a regiment of cooks pre pares for the festal morrow. Daily the plants are flushed and scoured and in conditions of absolute cleanliness the vegetables are washed, scraped and diced, the fruit pared, cored or pitted. Steel cars flash the products through the lactones, untouched by human hands and out to the lesser kitch ens of the continent go materials that will be always fresh when needed. -Nothing is more certain of proof than that a new industry, wisely established, lends immedi ate and continued impetus to the general prosperity. The dehydra tion plants of Oregon, for exam ple, have made it possible for the farmer to specialize in crops that have an assured market, and to add to the national food supply those items of produce that are commonly grown only to meet the requirements of the season and to add them with all the attrac tive qualities of the strictly fresh product. Skilled field agents of the King's plants assist the grow er in the production of desirable varieties, and the natural result is that both yield and quality are increased and that a general ton-ing-up of agricultural standards i3 fostered. (Jrrat for I tables. Some idea of the dietetic value of dehydrated materials may be gained from the recently an nounced results or a six-year period of research by Dr. J. r. McClendon of the I'niversity of Minnesota, who sought to solve the mysteries of the high mor tality rate among underfed in fants, and thus to determine the food principles that will raise the standard of American phy sique. The diet which Dr. Mc Clendon finally determined upon, and which wrought a gain of 23 ounces in one week for an in fant at the Jean Martin Brown home in St. Paul, has a founda tion of powdered dehydrated spin ach and dehydrated orange juice. "Infants in the home were largely orphans and underweight." says a report of the McClendon research. "I!y feedinc them about two teaspoonfuls of powdered spinach and one-twelfth of an ounce of dehydrated orange Juice a day he increased their growth rate to about three or four times what it had previously been. Th. prize baby gained 23 ounces in a week. Even a baby with marked rickets gained in weight. "Spinach contains 10 times as much iron as ia contained in car rots, and since milk is markedly deficient in iron content, spinach is a valuable addition to a milk diet. The powdered spinach and orance juice contains all classes of orange juice in abundance and a laree amount of necessary min eral matter." And Dr. McClendon. himself, when questioned retarding his important experiments with the accompanying proof that the nu tritive properties or dehydrated materials are unimpaired and in acknowledgement of a supply of dehydrated spinach sent "him from the Kings factories, con firmed the published reports as follows; "All of the babies fed on spinach at the Jean Martin Brown home are gaining rap Idly in weight although about half of them were losing be fore the powdered spinach was begun. They had re ceived canned spinach occas ionally. The powdered spin ach, however, seas fed regu larly every day and was Just what thev needed to make them grow." What dehydration does for ppinach i no more than it achieves for all the various pro ducts it features. The Oregon factories are centralized In the fertile produce and fruit districts of the state, and the fiOOO ureen -ons of last year and 10.000 tons of this year constitute but a frac tion of the tonnage that will be transformed within the seasons that are to follow. For dehydra tion has the stamp of commercial end public approval. It makes the fresh frui's of Oreron and Wash ington available to the housewife of Alaska or the Argentine and the fresh vegetables as well. It is economy Intensified-economy M UNO CHERRIES DEHYDRATION ni LflRG EADOI IllUlfl The Star Fruit Products Company Is Entering the Salem Field In Cooperation With The King's Food Products Company, In Charge of the By-Products Plant of the Latter Company Many Improvements at the Plant, Adding to the Capacity , And Making for Efficiency and Economy of Operation More Improvements In the Early Future. The Raloi.i plant or the King's rood Products company is be I in; made wcr. In the first place, its capacity is leins increased .'.0 to loo p r cent, by the addition of dehydrat ing space. In the second place, the econ omy of fu,l is being improved wonderfully; to the extent or per haps a cent for every pound oT de hydrated vegetables and iruits and tlut is i big thing for the in stitution, when it is considered that the output runs up into the millions of pounds. In the third placp, the by-product plant is being rebuilt and p.dded to and improved in many ways, making for much greater ef ficiency and capacity in putting Uj, jams and jellies and the canning of fru.ts. and in the handling of cherries for the maraschino prod uct. In the fourth place, the new receiving warehouse on the south side of the plant, fronting on Front Ptreet. recently completed, and of very large capacity. Is now in full nse. ?nd it is proving ot great value, both in the matter of efficiency and economy. There are fifth places and sixth places, and :i up to a great many, but the four will do for this time. I'lans f,r (ireat Things. The next improvement there will be th- construction of the contemplated cold storage plant, and it is expected that this will be made in time for the 1922 crop year. All the improvements that have been mad? lately, and that are being made now are arrang'd with this idea in view. The plans just where :i is to be, and how it are all ready.

Then the plans call for the ad dition of buildings and equipment that will give four times the pres ent capacity to the plant. The boiler capacity and arrangements are now sufficient for twic-? tne present capacity. Another unit In the boiler room will provide in that part of (he institution for the plant of the future, with the quadrupled capacity. And this is all coming, and it may all come soon: likely at least ona addi tional unit next year. Rapid progress is being made. Tfw Ilv-IVoducts llant. The Improvements being made in the by-products plant were mentioned above. Arrangements have been mad'' by the King's Food Products com pany with the S:ar Fruit Products company to conduct this branch of the manufacturing. There will be a great deal of tanning, jams and jellies will be made in large quantities, and there will be the preparation of a very large ton nage ot the Royal Anne type of cherries for maraschino purposes. Th Star Fruit Products corn party puts out the Marasco brand of maraschino products. This company is the largest maras chino manufacturing concern on this coast. It has large and ex panding markets for tiese prod ucts. The comfits into the Salem field of this important concern will be of immense benefit to the fru.t growers of the Salem district The large tonnage of strawber ries now being taken in by the King's Food Products company at the Salem plant are all going to the Fortland plant of the Star Fruit Froducts company, for tne making of jams and jellies and flavorings, etc.. etc.. In the matter of loganberries alone, the operations of the Mar Kruit rrodurts company here in connection with th dehydration plant, will enable some 3000 tons additional of these berries to be taken care of.

There is no waste, no effort, merely the re-baptism of the de hydrated products and. presto, the fresh variety. Chemists of the Kings Food Products company are constantly searching for opportunities to ex tend the scope of the process, and it is not improbable that their unremitted experiments will eventually result in the dehydra tion of such foods as meats, eges. fUh and milk. Already they have conquered the seasons and rorcea them to yield their sovereignty over a score of products And be fore' them are vistas of even greater possibilities. L BE HANDLED T.

There is every indication that this is going to be a tremendous success. And there is every indication that this will furnish the greatest 10,000 UK OF OREGON GROl FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ARE TO BE DEHYDRATED This Will Be Nearly Twice the Output of These Plants Of Last Year, and is Only a Fair Start Preparing To Vastly Extend the Markets for the Product. With its vastly increased man ufacturing facilities, and Its vreatly auzniented capital, the King's Food Products company this year will. handle almost twice the volume of '"green" Oregon erown fruits and vegetables that it has in any previous year. President Clark stated in an in terview with a representative of The Statesman that bis company this year would put up at least 10.000 tons of fruits and vege tables through the company's pat ented process of dehydration. The increase in volume is due to the very favorable reception which the company's dehydrated prod ucts meets in all parts of the country, and abroad. The development of markets for the company's output has been one of the great problems which has had the attention of President Clark, whose genius for organi zation and ability to perfect a rales system has resulted In mak ing the King's Food Product company the largest producer of dehydrated foods In the United States. Today King's dehydrated fruits and vegetables are sold In almost every state in the union, and in a number of foreign countries. President Clark is ambitious to have "King's" known In every civilized country in the world, and has already developed markets In Canada. Japan, China. Formosa and several of the South Ameri can countries. Development of markets in the United States will be one of the principal subjects for discussion at a convention of the salesmen of the King's Food Products com pany which is to be held in Min neapolis June 27 to 29, when salesmen and jobbers from all parts of the country will meet Masons Grand Lodge is In Session in Portland PORTLAND, Ore..
