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.

Anderson, a cannery "checker.
suddenly decided he wanted to climb
the 14,501 feet to the top of Mt.
Whitney, south of here, the high
est point m the United States.
The would-be mountain climber
wanted to be discharged from his
Job, so he wouldn't have to wait
until the month's end to get his
full pay, so he credited women
packers with more work than they
did.
Anderson was discharged, aa he
had schemed, but he also was char

Lumley fined his $35.
Anderson gave up the money. He
also gave up his mountain-climbing

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. Of the graves which have been
located already, only a few are
fenced in. In most case; they have
been almost erased by neglect.
Where groups of soldiers were bur
led in joint graves. It Is not al
ways possible to tell even the na
tionality ol the bodies.
A foreign office tpokesman told
the United Press that both the
Moscow government and the local
authorities are prepared to co-operate
In every way possible with the
United States in the transfer of
the bodies.
