FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1929 face Ricrrr THE TAPITAL JOTTTWAT.. RAI.F.M. OKEfiON FOOD EXPERT REMINDS OF HOLIDAYS' APPROACH TURKEYS TO BE CHEAPER HERE, DEALERS AGREE Thanteglvlng'i royml bird this year will be chemper than during the past two years, it is conceded by all of the larger dealers in Btlera who expect to handle the majority of turkeys sold over the counter, but how much cheaper is yet a matter of considerable spec ulation. Three out of four dealers had contracted for a full supply at pre YalHng prices in effect at ttme of delivery. While a number of pools, lnclud ln the Rogue River valley, Doug las county and Idaho and eastern Oregon pools had been sold during the past week, chiefly on consign ment with 32 cents guarantee, this apparently had little beertn on the situation here, which, dealers agree, will be governed largely by the Portland situation a week or two later on. Estimates on the decrease below last year's figures, place it at from three to five cents for prime birds, and from 8 to 1 cents for seconds and culls. Estimates on retail prices, which It rraa admitted were but guess work, set values ranging at from as low as 38 cents per pound to as high as 45 cents. These prices were extremes, with the majority favoring from 40 to 42 cents as the moat likely outlook. Prices tot Thanksgiving ranged from 42 to 48 cents on prime birds, with some dealers Inclined to shade these for the Christmas trade. An approximate increase of 10 per cent in the turkey crop rang ing the country over, IVom the Pa cific coa't eastward, is erected to have its influence in the Willam ette valley area, with less active call from San Francisco and Seat tle buyers than in former years, and these calls only for the very best available. This, with the prospect of more than ample supplies in view, and with these showing much better average grade, according to growers as well as to some buyers will enable local dealers to meet their needs with a mucn greater percentage of choice turkeys than has been pas sible in former years. From this fact has been deduced the probab ility of the 8 to 10 cents lower price on number two stuff. Instead of the live cents per pound dif ferential that has usually prevailed. That the growers in the Salem district are aware of this situation is avident from the number of In quiries received, several dealers state. One dealer, whose Judgment on problems nt supply and demand Is considered highly reliable and who seldom gets "stuck" on the more or less hazardous, task of buying for the holiday trade, estimates that Thanksgiving trade here will see from 500 to 600 birds pass over the counters in the retail trade. While there are comparatively few prime birds, in sight right at present, the coming two weeks will see second grade stuff filled Into first class shape for the bulk of delivery which is expected about that time, and dressed birds will present a more attractive appear ance, with the cold weather which has prevailed during the past two Fruit Cake Recipes Given Early; Aging Adds To The Flavor Fruit cake, like some of the old time Christmas cookies, is another kind of food that improves rather than deteri orates on long keeping. If properly stored it may be kept for years with no hardening and jus the improvement in flavor to show the difference. Either baking or steaming and baking may be used as methods of cookery. For baking, the case is placed in a slow oven for three to four hours. It may be steamed in the oven by placing the cake in an other pan of hot water for about five hours. The last hour of the baking the pan of water should be removed to allow the cake to dry out. In both methods the baking pan should be lined with several thicknesses of brown paper cut to fit the sides and bottom of the pan. A dry, air-tight container In which there is no danger of moulds is best for storage space. Stone crocks are excellent for this pur pose. If icing is to be used for the serving,- it is better to put it on just before using, as the moisture from the cake sometimes discolors icing when stored for any length of time. Two types of frait cake may be made the white or the dark. The former Is similar to angel food cake in that Just the whites of the eggs are used. In these the choice of fruit depends somewhat on the colors desired, as tliey retain their natural colors more so than in the dark cake which uses molasses or colfee to darken the batter as well as to add flavor.

While white fruit cakes seem more suitable for party occasions dark fruit cakes are the better type for storing a long time. With these, the aging improves the color as well as the flavor, whereas, in white cakes the color of the fruit may spread to the cake part. Several varieties of recipes are printed here, although ingredients may be varied somewhat according to what the housewife has available.

SOVIET SEEKING TO SEND HOME AMERICAN DEAD Moscow iXPi The Soviet authori ties are making every effort to lo cate American graves In the regions where American expeditionary for ces took part In the intervention movement and to establish the 1 dentity of the occupants of thaw graves. In the Archangel sector most of the dead were from Michi gan and Wisconsin. American soldiers, were buried singly and in groups over a large area in both the Archangel sector and In Siberia. Little was done at the time to mark or protect the graves, many of which have no doubt been entirely obliterated. The local governments at Mur mansk and at Vladivostok have been requested by Moscow to re port on the whereabouts and con dition of American graves in their sections. The first of these reports were read to the United Press cor respondent. They indicate that the project, suggested by an American veterans' organization, for trans ferrin? the bodies home will In volve considerable physical difficul ties.
