THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 31. 1935. FARM CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION A MESSAGE THAT APPLE A DAY IS USED IN MANY A WAY. With the markets crowded with bushels of tempting red and yellow apples and pears from Oregon or chards, homemakers are often par donably bewildered as to which of the many varieties will best suit the family needs. Guidance in this pro ylem is now offered by the home economics division of the Oregon State college extension service in the form of a list of apple and pear varieties, grouped according to the use for which they are best adapted. The guide also gives approximate dates when each variety is first available as well as usual keeping time. It is entitled “Varieties of Oregon Apples and Pears Classified tor Best Use,” and is tree for the asking from county extension offices or from the college at Corvallis. “Apples and pears deserve a place in our diet practically every day of the year, not only because of their sweet, delicious, juicy flavor but al- •o because of their ease of prepara tion. convenience, low price, and high food value,” says Miss Lucy A. Case, foods and nutrition specialist •f the O.S.C. extension service. "Ap ples are a good source of Vitamins C and G, and pears of B and G, which help in maintaining physical health and vigor. They also furnish val uable roughage and minerals and help to maintain the normal alkali- nity of the body.” While a large part of the apple crop is eaten raw each year, the fruit can also be prepared in innu merable delfcious dishes. Miss Case points out. Few could ever exhaust such a list as baked apples, cobbler, dumplings, brown betty, sauce, ap plesauce cake, upside-down cake, fritters, stuffing, puddings, gelatine desserts, salads, candied apples, jel- Hee, butters, relishes, spiced apples, syrup, cider and many others. Pears are but slightly less versatile. The best varieties of apples and pears for eating are not necessarily the best for cooking. Most varieties •f apples make good pies, but those that retain their firmness are best for this purpose. / For baking, varie ties which become tender and juicy, yet hold their shape after cooking are most satisfactory, while for sauce those that lose their shape with cooking are often preferred. Most tart apples that are somewhat immature make good jelly and are good for canning. LABAK SEED GROWING NOW URGED IN EASTERN OREGON. Belief that Ladak alfalfa, a com paratively new,, extremely hardy va riety, will give the old standby va riety, Grimm, some real competition as a seed crop in years to come and may eventually crowd it into the background in eastern Oregon alfal fa sections, has been voiced by E. R. Jackman. extension agronomist at Oregon State college. Ladak seed will outsell Grimm for some years at least, says Jackman. It produces just as much seed as Grimm, is extremely hardy, matures a fair crop early, then "dries up without sulking if it has no water, and is ready for another good crop the following spring.” Jackman points out that Oregon and Montana lead the country at present in Ladak seed production, and will probably maintain this lead for many years. Jackman expects the production of Ladak to increase up to 1,000,000 pounds per year, but looks for little if any expansion in Grimm production. ---- e • — TO EVERY MEMBER. Study Club Organized. A study club on economics was or ganized at a meeting in the Grange Co-operative office last Thursday night and R. G. Penney, Stanfield, was elected president, and Mrs. A. E. McFarland.

Marks, president of the State Board of Higher Education. The land is located about 40 miles west of Burns and includes what has long been known as the Gap ranch. The land has been made available by the department of the interior as part of its comprehensive plan of ad ministering range lands of the pub lic domain which have now come un der systematic control through op eration of the Taylor-Grazing act. The interior department agreed to furnish the land and equipment for the huge grazing tract it the agri cultural experiment station of the state college would conduct the re search thereafter. Preliminary steps toward complet ing such an arrangement were start ed nearly a year ago and have now been confirmed by official agree ments, Marks announced. The new experimental work will provide Ore gon stockmen with the benefits of careful research studies into the best methods and practices of range man agement which will restore and maintain normal forage production on the millions of acres of range lands. While thir research will be car ried on in Oregon, the station is to be the only one of its kind estab lished in the northwest and hence will serve the entire range country of several states where comparable conditions exist. The excellent livestock experimen tal work developed at the Union branch experiment station, together with the important forage studies carried on at the Harney branch sta tion. were factors in bringing to Ore gon this outstanding opportunity, President Marks points out. The 25 square mile area is alrea dy being equipped with buildings and fences, partly through the ser vices of a CCC camp located there at present. It will be stocked with some 200 head of cattle, as well as experimental bands of sheep, the lat ter to be grazed for the most part on supplementary lands surrounding the main tract. R. G. Johnson, for mer county agent In Grant county and now head of the newly estab lished range livestock work at Ore gon State college, will have imme diate direction of the research pro gram.

That law specifically their automobile death toll in 1934 exempts all potatoes produced prior were Delaware, Kansas, New Hamp to December 1 of this year. shire, New York and Oklahoma. It is estimated that potato prices In the United States are now bring ing growers an average of only 50 per cent of their parity value. It is the belief of AAA officials that by a combination of diversion of excess tonnage to industrial uses and crea tion of marketing agreements in cer tain areas, the average returns to producers can be raised to about 75 per cent of parity. This would in crease the returns to growers by 50 per cent and yet would increase the price to consumers only 10 or 15 per cent, the officials declare. The diversion plan would be op erated in surplus regions whenever the market was so glutted that prices dropped to a point where con version into by-products such as livestock feed, potato flour, starch, alcohol or similar products would be practical. It is proposed to have the government assist with such diver sion under strict regulation as to the percentage of any grower’s crop used for these purposes. The marketing agreement pro posed for the western area would af fect directly only the states of Colo rado, Idaho, Nebraska and Wyoming. A similar agreement could be pro vided for other states now harvest ing potatoes if the growers in such states so desire. Washington officials declare that any such program to stabilize prices is ultimately in the interests of con sumers, as the wide fluctuations in the past have caused consumers to pay more for potatoes over a period of years than they would have if prices had been stabilized at a fig ure affording reasonable returns to growers. OSC Buttermaker First at Show. CORVALLIS—In competition with the best buttermakers of the entire United States, H. P. C. Nielson, but termaker in the Oregon State college creamery at Corvallis, won first place for his sample of butter at the recent Pacific International Live stock exposition in Portland. Nine ty samples of butter were entered from nine states, second place go ing to Ed Peterson of Villard, Minn., and third to Iowa State college. Nielsen's butter won the unusually high score of 95.5. He has won nu merous other buttermaking prizes both here and in the east. The O.S. C. creamery is operated on a com mercial basis as a training labora tory for dairy products students and to provide facilities for research in this field. A railroad executive points out that highway builders In recent years have made new grade crossings fast er than safety measures could re move old ones. HERALD WANT ADS PAY USE THEM! A. W.
