Fish Cookery
Demonstrations
Attract Many Women
"I like the fish dishes Mrs
Groves demonstrated. You'd have
all the ingredients in your kit
chen except the fish itself," was
the comment of one woman who
attended one of the two fish
cookery demonstrations presen
ted by Mrs Helen Ruth Groves,
home economist for the Bureau
of Commercial Fisheries, Seattle.
The demonstrations, sponsored
by the county extension units,
were held last week at Board
man and Heppner. Good crowds
attended both ' meetings. Ar
rangements were made by Miss
Esther Kirmis, county extension
agent.
Mrs Groves, who had her own
television show in Florida for
five years, presented seven prac
tical and economical recipes for
fish, Besides the demonstrations,
Mrs Groves gave Information on
the market forms of fish, the
proper handling and storage, nu
tritive value of fish products and
principals or nsn cooKery.
She was accompanied by Peter
Formuzis, marketing specialist
from the Seattle branch of the
fish and wildlife service. He dis
cussed types of fish products
available locally and criteriaor
judging their quality.
Following the tasting of all the
fish dishes, coffee and cookies
were served by hostess units.
we can for the product we grow."
Ala, is a wheat cereal product.
The addition of onion soup and
cream of chicken soup to the
casserole the women found en
hanced its flavor. Ala makes a
good accompaniment to any
meat dish like porkenops, Deei,
or chicken. This served with a
fruit or vegetable salad and a
dessert make an excellent menu.
A new inovation in breadmak
ing is batter breads. The con
sistency of this bread is thin
enough that it can be beaten
with a spoon or electric mixer
rather than kneeded. The result
is a courser texture bread which
is good for snacks and lunch
eons. Miss Barnick demonstrated
an onion-ala batter bread which
proved very tasty.
Using the same type of batter
hread doueh. the economist pre
pared several coffee cakes with
brown sugar-cinnamon Topping,
jam or preserve topping and
powdered sugar frosting.
The food DreDared by Miss
Barnick was used for the noon
luncheon of the meeting.

Seed market prospects are es
pecially encouraging for grow
ers of ryegrasses, vetch, and for
age crop seeds. Lawn grass seed,
especially bentgrass, is plenti
ful and market prospects are less
promising. Oregon's two main
vegetable crops snap beans and
peas are in a good supply posi
tion. Plantings and prices of pro
nocaintr vegetables aren't likely
to change much in 1959, Thomas
says.
Potato prices during the first
half of 1959 are expected to be
lower than a year earlier, but
may do a little better in the
second half. Onions are likely to
be over-planted in 1959 in re
sponse to improved prices this
winter.
Little change is seen in the
strawberry picture. Other fruit
trends point toward a smaller
apple crop at better prices, but
more nears and cherries at low
er prices with little change in
total income.

1959 Farm Income
May Slip Some, But
Good Year Forecast
Oregon farm income in 1959
mav sliD a little from the 1958
level but should be nigner man
in most other recent years, re
ports M D Thomas, Oregon State
College agricultural extension
economist.
Despite some weak spots in
Oregon agriculture during the
past year, total farm income for
1958 is expected to top $400 mil
lion. Finally tally may place it
third highest on record, exceed
ed only by 1951 and 1952. Mean
while, farmers costs have risen
and may go up a little more
in 1959. Thomas explains.
Reduced support price level on
wheat, coupled with large sup
plies and lower prices for pork
and poultry products in the year
ahead, are cited as key reasons
for probable income decline in
1959.
Among the brighter spots are
cattle and sheep which are ex
pected to hold the sizable price
eains made in 1958. Lamb prices
usually follow beef trends, the
economist states.
