Oergon grown -peaches hit the market toward the end of July and con tinue throughout September. Nationally, the peach crop Is es timated at 75.3 million bushels about seven percent more than last year. Oregon s crop is ex pected to be around 500,000 bush elsabout 107 more than last year.

An old recipe used with today's stronger vinegars would probably cause pickles to shrivel or to be too sour. ReclDes for sweet pickle chips, 8-day sweet pickle chunks, bread and butters, and ripe cucumber pickles are favorites included in this bulletin. Why not ask for It?
