I've noticed some very lush
looking peaches on our grocery
counters these days. 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.
If you're fortunate enough to
have your own poach trees you
know that the best sign of peach
ripeness Is background color
not the "blush" or degree of red
ness. Look for peaches that have
a yellowish or creamy color
background. At this stage peach
es will continue to ripen after
picking. Select firm or fairly firm
peaches free from bruises. Some
favorite peach varieties for can
ning, freezing, or eating are: El

There are many wonder
ful drugs that accomplish
seeming miracles, but to
use them safely they must
be taken as prescribed by
a physician.
Do not believe all the
claims made by certain a
variolous firms who have
the audacity to advise you
to attempt unwise self
treatment when you are
sick. Do not let door-to-door
peddlers, high pressure tel
evision or mail order ad
vertisers overpower your
Judgement. The best advice
you can follow about what
medicine you should take
Is your physician's. He can
prescribe the proper medi
cine because he can diag
nose the cause of sickness.

To buy peaches for canning
and freezing, a bushel (43
pounds) will make 16 to 24
quarts. Expect one quart of the
processed product from 2 or 3
pounds of fresh. 10 omain uuw.
tinna fnr canning or freezing
peaches Just call our office for
our canning ana ireezing uumf-
tins.
A good idea that often makes
good preservation more fun is
to freeze, can or make jam into
a few jars each day during the
peach season. This may cause
less "fuss" and thus more fun
than to do a bushel at a time.
Clues for Peach use:
Ripen peaches at room tem
perature; they won't soften much
In the refrigerator.
Setting peaches in . the sun
may lead to shriveling and poss
ible decay.
rmra noaches become "ten
der to the touch", keep cool until
ready to use.
Peel peaches when ready to
use to avoid darkening.
Sprinkle lemon or other cit
rus juice over peeled peaches to
help keep fresh color.
Multitudes of taste-tempting
dishes are inspired by peaches.
Serve them out-of-hand, sliced
with sugar and cream, or com
bined with other fruits to make
a colorful fruit cup. Sift a sprink
ling of confectioner's sugar or
sprinkle brown sugar over the
fruit Serve fresh peach halves
or slices plain or in combination
with other fruit as a salad or
over cereal.
Add heat and peaches find
many more delicious uses. Any
meat that is good for breakfast,
for Instance, is even better ac
mm nan tpd bv a broiled peach.
Bake peaches with overlapping
ham slices for something special.
Or who could resist a fresh peach
pie, peach cobbler or peach crisp
served with a scoop oi ice cream :
Umm good!
A new "Pickles and Relishes'
hooklet has lust come off the
press at Oregon State College.
The art of making pickles and
relishes has not laded. Grand
ma's recipes called for "pinches"
or "lumus" and indefinite meas
ures, but recipes in this Ubc
bulletin spell out Ingredients ac
cording to accurate measures.
Ingredients have changed witn
the times. Twenty-five years
ago homemakers used weaker
vinegars. 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.
