ITEM OF
If)
Some Have Special Place in
Cookery All Are Useful
On Table Wide Dif
ference in Food Values
Sirup ol soma kind, as well a
sugar, li usually an Item in the well
stocked pantry. Some of the sirups
have a special place In cookery, and
In some parts of the country, slrlp
or molasses appear on the table at
every meal. That may be too often
for a well-balanced diet, for sweets
take away the appetite and crowd out
more Jmptant foods, such as milk
and vegetables and fruits. But such
Is the -sweet tooth of America.
There are sirups and sirups, how-i
ever, and they differ In food values;
as well as In flavor and consistency, j
says the Bureau of Home Economics
of the U. 8. Department of Agrlcul-!
ture. Considered geographically, there
are the sugar-cane product of the,
"deep south" cane sirup, molasses j
and refined sirups; in the "sorghum;
belt," which reaches northward from
the sugar-cane belt, sorgo or sor
ghum sirup; In New England and
some other northern states, maple
sirup. Corn sirup comes, of course,
from the corn belt of the middle
west. Then there Is plain sugar sirup,
made of sugar (beet or cane) and
water. And last but not least there
Is honey, produced In nearly all the
stntefi, the one sirup that nature of
fers rencly made.
Make Own Ctine Hlrun
Cane sirup Is made where the sugar
used in the states where the sugar j
cane grows. There, they say, every
household ha its cane sirup, either
made on the home farm or bought
in a local stare. The farmers raise
the sugar cane and maka the sirup
by pressing out the juice and boiling
it down to sirup thickness. Thus
cane sirup contains all the food
values of the sugar cane Juice, most
Important of which are Iron and cal
cium. Government regulations re
quire that the cane sirup, to be so
labeled, ahall consist of evaporated
augar cane Juice conatlnlng not more
than 30 per cent water.
Molasses and refiners' sirup are by
products of the commercial cane
sugar manufacturing process. They
are sold all over the country In one
form or another. When the "raw"
augnr Is crystallized out of the sugar
cane Juice, a "mother" liquid is left.
Concentrated and clarified, this Is
molasses, of which there are different
grniles according to the amount of
aiignr taken out. "Cooking molasses,"
therefore, as one grade is sometlmrs
called, differs from "table molasses"
in being leas sweet. "Blackstrap" is
the lowest grade and has very little
augnr. Any molasses, - however, con
tains all the food values of the enne
Juice except that part taken out In
the raw sugar, and, like sirup, Is rich
in iron and calcium. To be cor
rectly labeled, molasses must contain
more thnn 28 per cent water.

Plans were completed today for
the annual ball to be given at the
Oriental gardens on Thanksgiving
night by the Medford fire depart
ment, with both the professional and
volunteer members participating as
sponsors.
Oeorge Dayton and his 8-piece or
chestra will provide the music.
Dancing will begin at 9:00 o'clock
and continue until 12:30 or 1:00,
Fire Chief Roy Elliott said.
This is the thirteenth ball to be
sponsored by the Medford fire de
partment, this series ob popular so
cial events having been Inaugurated
in 1923. Tickets may be obtained at
the fire hall or from members of
the organisation.
The Medford fire department la
rated by the state fire marshal's of
fice as one of the most efficient In
Oregon. Last year the department
established a new low record for
fire loss In Medford and Chlei
Elliott said today that the prospects
of achieving an even better record
for 1035 are good-

all sorts. The gas thus produced acts
as leavening.
The other by-product of sugar
making, retlners' sirup, Is the llquir
left from the refining of the brown,
or "raw," cane sugar Into white
sugar. It has tho enne-sirup, flavor
and brown color, and Is lined often
In mixtures with other sirups, under
various trade names.
In the sorphum belt, the farmers
grow sweet sorghum cane and make
sorgo sirup from it in the same way
their neighbors to the southward
make cane sirup. The sorgo food
values are higher. If anything, than
the cane sirup values. More than 13
million gallona of sorgo sirup were
made In this country last year, and
this year there will doubtless be more
because the sorshum crop ia blgtcr.
Sorgo Is a table sirup, dark, thick,
and strong flavored, and Is used Just
as molnascs is used in coking. Sor
ghum sirup, hy the way, Is sometimes
wrongly called sorghum molasses

Mnplr Hlrup Mime
Sugar maple trees yield the sap
that makes the only native American
sirup. Though sugar cane and sorghum
were brought to this country from
the other side of the world, the In
dians were making maple sirup long
before white men nppcarwl on the
American scene. The maple flavor Is
considered by many people the finest
of alt sirup flavors, and maple sirup
or maple sugar Is used In cakes and
puddings, saucps. Ice creams, and
candles of choicest kinds. As to food
vahie, however, sugar is the chief
Item.

Ions of maple sirup were made in this
country last year, and Jhe average
yield Is not much If any more. Tor
this reason, and because of tha wide
demand, maple sirup Is often diluted
for market, or lmltnted. Maple mix
tures usunlly contain sugar sirup or
refiners' sirup tor corn sirup with
maple, but no mixed sirup may be
legally sold as maple. The label
"Maple sirup" is allowed only on
sirup madftjby evaporating mnpte and
or by dissolving mnple sugar in water.
The product must not contain more
thnn 35 per cent water and must not
weigh leas than 11 pounds to the
gallon. Imitations are to be distin
guished from mlxturoB. They con
tain ho maple sirup and must be la
beled "Imitation" or "Artificially fla
vored and colored."
Kiifinr .Makes Sirups
Sugar sirup, which Is used com
mercially In sirup mixtures, Is made
by dissolving sugar In water and boll
Inn, it clown to a sirup thickness. It
usually Is mndc at home, perhaps
with brown sugar, perhaps wit.li white
sugar (beet or cane) and fruit or
other flavoring, to use with hot cukes
for breakfast, as sauce for some des
sert, or as sweetening for drinks, es
pecially Iced drinks.
Corn sirup differs from other sirups
tn the kinds of sugar It contain. and
in the purposes it serves. In the
cane products, in sorgo and In maple
sirup, most of the sugar Is the kind
chemists call sucrose. Corn sirup Is
chiefly glucose and maltose, neither
of which Is by any menus as aweet
aa sucrose. For table purposes, corn
sirup Is usually mixed with refiners'
sirup or maple sirup, to give it sweet
ness and flavor. The mixtures are
sold under various trade names. The
corn sirup known as "crystal white,
which is about 00 per cent corn sirup
and 10 per cent sugar sirup, is color
less and very useful In making soft
candles and some kinds of frostlngs
for cakes, because the glucose In It
keeps them from crystallizing too
much, or, as we say, "turning to
sugar." Corn sirup Is largely used in
some of the maple sirup mixtures, as
the labels, of course, are required to
show.
Honey, manufactured by the beca
from the nectar of flowers, la the
sweetest of all sirups because it con
tains so much of the sweetest of all
the sugars, levulose. It is used as
other sirups arc used, and is prized
for Its unique flavor.
