Salem Offerings In Fruit and
Vegetables Now Cover
Wide Field
Salem wholesale houses are tak
ing on a true fall air, what with
me arrival 01 mure uimc a
plea, more varieties of pumpkins
and squash, bigger 'and better
grapes, not to mention th big red,
ripe tomatoes coming In from the
local gardens to supplant those
cot so tasty that have been with
us for weeks. Cranberries, oo, tell
of the approach of the cooler
months.
Grapes are more plentiful than
the demand and are- accordingly
quite cheap. Also all varieties are
of excellent quality, provided the
buyer is careful to see that he or
she does not carry home those
which have waited too long for a
purchaser. The following varieties
are now available.
Grapes Ra.onAble
Humphrey's Lady Gingers, at
$2. 50 wholesale.
Fresno Seedless, 9 0 cents.
Red Malagas at $1.35 and white
malagas at $1.00.
California Tokays, $1.75.
Cornlchons, $1.75.

Besides the Concords, the only
other grape offered by local grow
ers are a lew DeLawarte, which
resemble the muscats.
Apples of all varieties and packs
are now in. the warehouses of local
jobbers. Most of these are coming
In from Yakima valley, with the
exception of a few King and

cal orchards. Local Gravensteins
are quoted at ; $1.75, with the
Yakima Gravensteins bringing

coming to an end, with about the
last of the Yakima offerings now

cal retailers to care for the late
requirements. These are expected
to sell at the same price that pre
vailed during the peak of the sea
son. A limited supply of The Dalles

To wash, or not to wash canned
peas! That is the question that has
troubled cooks and housewives
without number since the days
when the canning industry was in
its infancy. Today the washing of
canned peas has become, with
many, one of those sacred tradi
tions that cannot be traced back
to its origin. But like The Ivory
Door, in the play bv A A Miin
!t is one of those legends which
one does not care to deny.
Apparently even th hsr
book makers dodge-the issue. Of
ten an author will advise washing
canned peas in one recipe and will
-usgesi using them as they come
from the can in another recipe.
Are we to believe that canned
peas should be washed for one
recipe, and not washed for an
other? Or are we to investigate for
ourselves, and reach our own con
clusions, haspr' nn foot TV, ?
... 1 J1C 1UI-
lowing facts s,: I t'.iw canning nf
peas have bee.. . dieted to nahi
housewives
telligently, one aad for all times
to the perph- ng question of
whether or not canned rws cknnirf
be washed before using.
From Vine to Can
In the largest
the world there is only a two hour
nrai Detween the time that the
peas are growing in the field and
the time they are sealed in cans
Here Is the history of those two
hours:
The pea crop is harvested with
mowing machine, and is trans
ported, on the vi
vine. .-.! ' -iicu ii viil tilt

Cooking Stcrflixcs
The sealed cans are -placed in
iron cages and electric conveyors

More than 1.000 cans at. a time

away the empty shells and vines. i;eas are cooked under scientific
i nr: siiciicu rc carrieu me
chanically to another machine
which screens and fans out split
peas and bits of stem and leaves.
Peas Get Many Baths
The hulled peas are. put into
bcxes holding about 4 0 pounds,
and rushed by motor truck to the
factory. Immediately upon their
first cold water bath, and are
passed through a machine where
any leaves or stems still remain
ing after the first cleaning opera
tion, are floated off.
The peas are then elevated bv
machinery to graders, which are
huge cylinder-like affairs with
holes graded to the 16th of an
inch. Passing down throuzh
Mitns ana penoraiea graders the oas
par are automatically washed a
second time and graded in from
three to six sites. The next step
is a blanch, or a Drecook. which
gives them their third wash. This
blanch is a quick hot bath, with
the temperature of the water at
190 degrees. They pass from the
blanch to a cold water spray, for
their fourth bath. From the cold
spray they pass down. thinly
spread over wide, long white rub
ber aprons, where they are given
:lose human inspection. Then they
are fed with the cooked sugar,
water and salt into a machine
which feeds peas and liquor into
sterile cans that have just emerged
irom the ltvesteam sterilizms
arf
are
ontrol, at a uniform tempera
ture, for a specified length of
cime. Next the cans are given an
external cold water bath to cool
the contents so as to insure safe
storage, and they are then stored
in the warehouse. The labels arc
not put on the cans until the peas
are to be boxed and shipped.
And so fact, and not legend, de
cides the point as-to whether can
ned peas should be washed or
not. For there is no more rime nor
reason in the washing of canned
peas after taking them from the
ran than thrre would be in wash
ing canned peaches, or canned to
matoes or any other food that Is
prepared and canned under mod
ern scientific and hygienic meth-
Savc Nourishing liquor
The liquor covering the peas is
rfch in food value (it contains the
soluable vitamins from the peas)
and it should be preserved to use
in soups or sauces. The peas are
clean, since so much water is
used to wah them that a pea can
nery Is the wettest yraco in the
world. Peas used just as they come
from the can are sweet, full of
flavor, sterife and wholesome.
