J V Mm. Johnson is ihown preparing sourdough for the fragrant breads and pastries she made during the demonstration. Sourdough making big All over the country the interest in sourdough bilking is making a comeback. Whether the interest is spurred by the mystery of sourdough, the history, the flavor or the simple satisfac tion of the process, the interest in sourdough baking by both men and women was apparent at the sourdough program sponsored recently by the Morrow County Extension Service, Guest "sourdough" artists who shared secrets of creative sourdough cookery were Flora Johnson, Condon, and Linda I-ultuc, lone. Ms Johnson, who claims to tie a "(lump and look" cook, entertained the gathered group with bits of sourdough history, lore and personal experiences as she prepared fragrant breads and sweet rolls. Hiseuits high, and light enough to float off the plate, and crepe like applesauce and strawberry pancakes were the specially of Ms LaKue Demonstrations of handling, shaping and baking techni ques v.ere provided by both women, as well as a store of favorite recipes and informa tion on making starters and care of starters.

She claims she finds little difference In the varieties of wheat they have grown and ground and has no difficulty storing the grains after they are ground. After grinding she sifts the coarsely ground grains, sep arating the finely ground "flour" from the coarser grains for use In different products. For demonstration Ms. Johnson used an antique hand grinder which she in herited from her mother-in-law. For larger quantities they use a small mechanical grinder. Samples of sourdough prod ucts were available for tasting including Ms. Johnson's choc olate, banana nut, and whole wheat breads, whole wheat crackers. White bread, sweet coffee cake, and cinnamon twists. Mrs. laKue's biscuits, applesauce and strawberry pancake rolls, Ms. Tullis's sourdough chocolate and applesauce cakes, and Jeanne Howell's pumpernickel rye sourdough bread Sourdough starter typically results in crusty loaves of tangy bread but it can be used w ith great success in sweeten ed baked goods. Although the sourdough flavor is not always readily distinguishable, the starter mixture adds moist ness, leavening, and a distinc tively different flavor to products Starter may be stored in almost any glass container. no metal!) but stores in Heppner are report ing a big run on old fashioned crocks as the word is getting around about sourdough.

Homemakers preparing for the canning .season ahead should be checking their equipment, especially presure cookers. Gauges on pressure cookers should be checked yearly, prior to the canning season. Companies supplying canning lids promise a more adequate supply for north western states this year, but homemakers planning to can should be watchful for them to arrive in stores. Success In home canning depends un the proper canning procedures. When you're not sure of proper canning techniques, be sure to get the information you need before you start canning, advises Nellie Ochler, Oregon Slate Extension Foods and Nutrition Specialist. If you've had canning problems in the past, perhaps the methods you used or the length of time you processi-d foods were at fault. Always use the pressure canner to process low-acid foods such as vegetables and meat for safety's sake, Ms. Ochler emphasizes. No matter how long meat or vegetables are processed in a boiling water bath, they are not safe. There is danger of botulism caused by bacteria often present on such fresh vege tables as peas, string beans, corn and spinach. These bacteria are destroyed only by the higher temperatures of a pressure cooker. The hot water bath method of canning on the other hand, is recommended for fruits, fruit juices and for tomatoes, since the taller is an acid vegetable. However, 2 teas ptions of lemon juice must be added to a quart of tomatoes before canning. In hot water bath canning and pressure canning it is important to follow an accu rate timetable for processing Reliable timetables and other essential information on tech niques for canning fruits and vegetables are given in USDA bulletins "Hume Canning Fruits and vegetables," which is available at no charge at the Morrow County Extension Office, Heppner Open kettle canning, except for jams and jellies, is definitely not recommended In open kettle canning the food is cooked in an ordinary kettle, then packed into hot jars and sealed without Pl Ml Pl.WSFO The International Wood Workers of America, will host iheir first annual picnic June 2K at Culslorth Park Member are asked to sign up tiy May :to. if they plan to attend Signup sheets are xisted in the lunchrooms and other locations processing. When , food is transferred from kettle to jar, bacteria may enter and cause the food to spoil. Other food preservation bulletins of interest to home makers available at the Ex tension Office are: "How to Make Jellies, James and Preserves at Home" and "Making Pickles and Relishes at Home". New hours at museum Rachel Harnett, curator, announces the Morrow County Museum will be open longer hours than usual this weekend so visitors can enjoy its expanded exhibits.

The museum has been doubled in area since last May and the replicas of pioneer rooms should be very inter esting to all members of visiting families, she points out.

Bryce Keene and Rachel Harnett have been designated as a committee to search out information about pioneer burials. They hope to learn about many burials that took place outside the county's designated cemeteries. Some graves are on old ranch sites, some are along the early trails and roads. Many graves in the regular cemeteries are not marked or the early markers have be come difficult to read. Others are outside the county. This committee of the Coun ty llislorial Society hopes families will bring them facts alKiut the deaths and burials of pioneer ancestors If possible some of the information can lie brought lo this Sunday's Pioneer Picnic, or it may be given to Mrs. Harnett at the museum.
