W. E. MOORE, Cashier. Dated this 15th day of December, 1932, Extension Service Gives Mince Meat Recipes Mincemeat! There's magic in the word. It conjures up odors, pic tures and tastes of a pastry that never fails to appeal. Serve it hot or serve it cold, it is popular. Butchering time and the snappy holiday season combine to promote the cause of mincemeat and mince meat making. Food specialists In the home economics extension ser vice recommend the following rec ipes for this spicy, tasty food product: Mincemeat No. 1 2 pounds lean beef 1 pound chopped suet 4 pounds tart apples 3 pounds sugar 3 pounds currants 2 pounds raisins 1 nutmeg 1-2 teaspoon ground mace 2 oranges lemons 2 pound citron 1 tablespoon salt Stew the beef In a very little wa ter until quite tender, cool and chop as fine as possible. Add the beef suet, chopped fine, and pared, cored and chopped apples, the sugar, cur rants, raisins, spices, orange and lemon juice, the grated rind of the oranges and of one lemon, chopped citron and salt. Mix thoroughly. Cook one hour. Pack in a stone jar and keep in a cold place. The mincemeat should be thoroughly stirred each time any is taken out and occasionally moistened with a little grapejuice or orange juice. Left-over canned fruit juice or bits of meat or canned fruit may be add ed from time to time. Mincemeat No. 3 pounds lean beef 6 pounds sour apples 3 pounds raisins 1-2 pound suet 1-2 pound citron 2 pounds currants 1 nutmeg 2 pounds sugar 2 cups cider vinegar 2 cups molasses 1 tablespoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon mace 2 tablespoons salt Stew the beef In a little water un til tender. Cool It, then chop the meat, the applesfl raisins, suet and citron, and washed currants. Mix and add remaining ingredients, Scald. If too dry, add a little warm water at time of using.

This is a good mincemeat for those who find the ordinary va riety too rich, ON OREGON FARMS New Spud Outyields Burbank Hillsboro The new Katahdin po tatoes tried out here this year on the A. J. Rowell farm gave a bet ter yield than Burbanks grown In the same field, showing unusual drouth resistance, reports County Agent W. F. Cyrus. The drouth re sistance is the result of a larger root system typical of the variety, he says. The Katahdin is a round potato and thus is not quite as at tractive to the general trade, but it is high in quality and may have a distinct place In western Oregon especially where the long varieties do not always attain desirable size arfd form. Oregon Medium as Honey State Corvallis Census figures show that 5328 farmers in Oregon had some bees in 1930.

The average price received for the 1931 crop was estimated at 5c a pound. Oregon has a total of 40, 000 colonies as compared with 4, 620,650 in the entire United States, according to the latest estimates. Twenty-eight "states produced more honey than Oregon and 19 states produced less.

R. Jackman, farm crops specialist at Oregon State college, who has fol lowed the development of the al falfa Industry for years. Last year a flood of seed from Arizona, New Mexico and Califor nia was offered through the north west at extremely low prices, even as low as 5c a pound to dealers. Oregon dealers refused to fall for this cheap seed, says Jackman, and growers were protected, though carloads of it went to neighboring states. "Observations on Oregon farms have shown that many thin, weedy fields of alfalfa are the result of planting common seed, especially If from a southern source. "Repeated trials at nearly all the branch experiment stations and elsewhere have shown that Grimm alfalfa is by far the best for west ern Oregon and Grimm and Ladak for eastern Oregon," Jackman ex plained. "Occasionally a strain of common alfalfa will show up well, but in no case has a strain from the southwest proved to be long lived. "The southwest produces large amounts of Peruvian alfalfa which will winter-kill even in western Or egon, and east of the mountains frequently dies out the first winter Much of the seed from the south west is of this semi-tropical va riety unsuited to Oregon condi tions." Oregon growers are fortunate in having good certified seed available within the state, as considerable is grown in Malheur, Crook, Union and Baker counties. The Montana seed crop, especially of Ladak, was almost ruined by drouth and grass hoppers this year, hence the Ore gon supplies will doubtless find a quick demand, Jackman believes. HARDMAN MRS.
