Blue Lake Cannery Is Busy Freezing, Packing Rhubarb By BEN MAXWELL Rhubarb, initial vegetable received by Salem packing houses, Is now being frozen at Blue Lake and packaged in one pound cartons for retail consumers. About six growers producing rhubarb on near 25 acres are now delivering to Blue Lake in 60 pound lugs. Among the larger of these growers is Franks- Berry of Crabtree who produces his crop on six acres In the Santiam bottom. Rhubarb requires a sandy, fertile soil and like nearly all other vegetables produced for packers must be grown under irrigation. So far this crop has not been afflicted with either fungus or insect pests. But too rapid growth in wet weather does cause the stocks to crack and oxidize, thereby making them unfit for the frozen pack, First cutting of the strawberry variety will conclude about May 21, to be followed by a second cut in July, v At Blue Lake rhubarb passes first over a sorting belt and then into an end trimmer. Next it is cut, washed, subjected to a light steam blanch and passes along over the cooling belt. Here it is again inspected for quality be fore entering cartons that are filled and weighed. Next the carton is filled with a heavy syrup and finally closed and washed. Packaged rhubarb is now subjected to a tempera ture of 30 degrees below zero until the center of the carton is frozen to zero. From freezing tunnels the pack is moved to 'storage rooms where a constant New Classrooms for Green Acres School Lebanon Lebanon school district 16 will build two addi tional classrooms at Green Acres school this summer, is was disclosed this week when the school board called for bids.

In addition to being nause ating it is very slippery. It has many roles. And it's get ting scarce. So, the National Geographic Society notes today, the agri culture department Is plant ing 80000 acres of castor beans this year in Oklahoma, Northern Texas, and Southern California. That is 71,000 acres more than were harvested in 1950. This year's crop will produce about one-fifth of the nation's castor oil needs for a year. Brazil is this country's big gest castor oil supplier. Castor oil is used in making nylon and plastics, flypaper and typewriter ribbons, paints, enamels, and hair dressings. It is the base of hydraulic fluid for big gun recoil cy linders and big plane land ing gear, shock absorbers, and brakes. It is a fine lubricant for jet engines. Because it readily absorbs and holds colors, castor oil also is used in making cos mcstics including lipstick.
