PACE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRrBTJNTC,- MEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY; .TULT 6. 1937 CARE IS REQUIRED IN PEACH CHOICE AS LOOKS DECEIVE Federal Bureau Gives Hints On How To Select Fruit Various Ways Of Serv- ing For Variety Listed. By V. S. Bureau of Home Economic. It' peach time again. ...Thii down-skinned fruit la most part of the United Statei started out this year under such auspclous cir cumstances that agricultural econo mist and fruit men looked forward to the largest crop since 1031 which was a great peach year. ID the ten southern states where the crop is now being harvested, how-i ever, freezea cut production to 38 per ! cent below Average. The result la that June forecasts for the nation as a whole were that the crop total would be slightly below the 6-year average 1938 to 1933. Nevertheless the nation's market baaketa will doubtless contain goodly supplies of peaches especially through out July and August. Appearance Deceptive. Some shoppers may need be warned that the peach Is the gay deceiver of the fruit world. It may wear a love ly red blush and yet be so Immature that It never will ripen but will shrivel first. On the other hand It may seem hard to pressure, yet be almost ready to be eaten, for some -varieties ripen from the pit out. It'a not the blush nor the lack of blush nor the hard ness that tells the tale. It's the background color. After the green of the ground color starts to "break s orchardlsta say after the white or the yellow of the mature fruit be gins to. develop then the peach is a safe buy. Before that It may shriv el before It ripens. A peach of fine quality should have , fresh appearance and be prac tically free of blemishes. One with a bruised spot will likely have a good deal of waste to It more than might be expected from size of the soft spot on the surface. Underneath large bruise la pretty sure to be & soft discolored area. It Is almost Impos sible to ship peaches without some bruising, however, ao that you have to be philosophical about a Uttle of it. Brown Rot Scourge. Another thing to beware of la the psach that shows signs of brown rot, arch enemy of the peach orchard, es pecially In the humid sections of the east and southeast. The first sign of brown rot Is a tiny spook on the fruit. This speck develops rapidly into a large spot, beneath which the flesh Is deeply affected. You get a peach with. small spot of this fungus disease and in a half day if heat and moisture conditions are right there may not be any edible part left. The disease spreads like wildfire, to curse not only the growers but also the ship pers and the market men. Over-ripe, soft peaches are not us ually an economical buy at any price, M they bruise easily and decay rap idly. Small punctures with gum cos ing from them should make one sus picious of worm Injury. Your wormy peach Is usually aofter than the av erage sound one and appears prema turely ripe. Advised for Diet Fruit has an Important place In almost every diet list worked out by nutritionists. In "Dleta to Pit the Family Income" recently published by the bureau of home economics, 9 to 10 servings a week of fruit are rec ommended for a liberal diet and those in sddltlon to the dally serving of tomatoos or citrus fruit. For the moderate -cost adequate diet, theao nutritionist recommend one serving dally of fruit in addition to the cit rus-fruit-or tomatoes dally serving. And for the minimum-cost adequato diet, the recommendation is "one serving dally of fruit or an addition al vegetable" still supplementing the citrus fruit or tomatoes. Naturally, not all fruits are equal ly valuable dletatlcally. Peaches, however, have significant virtues be yond their pleasing flavor. They are a good source of vitamin O and a fair source of vitamin B. And the yellow fleahed peaches are excellent sources also of vitamin A. As to ways of serving peaches, it's hard to beat them raw, either with or without cream. And of course. that's the way to eat them to get the full benefit of their vitamin con tent. But any cook likes some vsrlety In her menus. So there are time when she scouts about for other waya of serving this fruit. That's the time to put some of It into raw peach pie or tarts, peach cobbler, dumplings or puddings. Peach fritters are g rooted with enthusiasm In the aversge Am erican family. Good for Salads, Then there are Ice cream and sher bet. A little lemon Juice e&y a ta blespoon to a or 8 cups of sliced peaches gives character to an Ice cream which might otherwise be a bit bland for general taste. In sslads, peachea combine nicely with other fresh fruit, nuts, cream cheese, dstea and figs. Grind up some figs, dates, and nut moisten with cream or dreaalng and put a spoon ful of the mixture In the center of your peach halves In their lettuce nest and you have a salad that is good to look at still better to eat. Another attractive salad Is made by filling the center with a cottage cheese-nut mixture and then put ting on the top a salad dressing Into which has been mixed sieved rasp berries. The green of the lettuce leaf, the pale yellow of the peach, and the violet of the raspberries m this combination would give a festive air to the simplest dinner.. In whatever role the peach appears at It beat It hsa a texture ml flavor that commends It to all but the most jaded appetites. Motor Cruising for Fun o New North Santiam Highway Provides Entertaining Vistas and Easy Access to Cascade Lakes from Willamette Valley Inviting pool and riff let tempt the angler along the new road; intet, the motorlog car at Sattle lake retort This newspaper fi co-operating with th, Or.zitn State Motor uioclatlon and Toe OreKotilan In preientlna a eerie, of motor erulaee under tile title, ''Motor Orutelnit for Fun." It la hoped thereby to stimulate travel In the Pacific northweit. The follow ing; article hna been condensed from a full-pane article appearing lo Tht Oregonlan oo July 4.' . BY HERBERT S. LAMPMAN Staff Writer, The Oreaonlan Oregon's incredible Cascade lakes are moved half a hundred miles closer to Portland with the opening of the North Santiam highway. Though that winding .thoroughfare Isn't officially completed, The Ore-gonlan-Oregon State Motor associa tion cruise car managed to cover It without ulfflculty recently following a visit to Suttle lake. Barring a brief detour which was temporarily rendered difficult by intermittent rain squalls the highway is not only passable but unique In Its beauty. The new short cut to Suttle lake, as good a head quarters as any In the region, brings that vacation spot within 139 miles of Portland. Compare that mileage with the old route through Raymond via Wapinltia cut-off. That route totals 210 miles on anybody's specdomoter. It will probably be several months before the North Santiam route Is cleared to fast tourist travel, but it will be available this summer and can bo traveled with a minimum of difficulty. Loop Trip Made The cruise car made the big loops from Portland to Bend and then up to the lake. The Portland-Bend highway needs no de scription and the road from Bend to.tho lake is as broad and smooth as a ballroom floor. Like most of these mountain re sorts, Suttle lake is girdled with trails and with a road that circles the area. If you wish to try your hand at riding, horses are available a short distance away. One charm of the place lies In Its proximity to other recreational areas. It Is only six miles from the Metolius river a famed stream where big rainoows may be taken and only a scant dozen miles or so from Clcnr lake, headwaters of the McKcnzle river. The fishing at Suttle lake Isn't of the best, although the lake Is fairly well stacked. Fish are small. Tht lake is stocked with rainbow, eastorn brook, VVilllumson's white- fish and land-locked sllversldel lake and see for ourselves the vast' "How deep do you think thai salmon measuring seven inches, spring that gives birth to the 'pool Is?" asked Rodman. When we left Suttle lake weMcKenzle. We did. The sight wasj "About 10 or 11 feet," we chor- mriiua uiu car onto (ne iNorui more nan increaiDie. j nis spring i used. Santiam highway and turned in, few miles distant, to Clear lake. In other years this lake was at tainable only by dint of driving over an extremely difficult road to Fish lake and walking the re maining two miles to Clear lake. We drove to Fish lake over a nar row but excellently kept road and continued on, over the same sur face, to Clear lake, where we met Ted Rodman, state police game warden, and Captain Charles Mc Clees, chief of the game division of the state police. Captain McClees Insisted that we row across the upper end of the I EUGENE -y'-'s. fBENO - I Map show route covered by motorlogger wens out of the flank of the Cas- "Well, It's exactly 38 feet deep I cade range In a lazy fashion form-j measured it yesterday," he re Ing a pool some 40 feet across.! plied. Jagged lava rings It and the same The water, clearer than the clear brittle paving covers the bottom, jest of glass, magnified every object on the bottom until you'd have sworn that It was less than 12 I feet deep. Some Idiot had tossed an cjnpi,y lujiiulo can into me center of the pool. It looked as big as a cookie tin of 30-gallon capacity. Then we set forth again en route to Portland. The highway was broad and fast for a dozen miles, and then we hit the only rough "going" on the trip a detour of perhaps 600 yards. For 10 or 12 miles the highway was rough and muddy but easily passable, and then we hit the finished surface . along the Santiam. Road Follows Canyons We didn't get excited about the river until we reached Detroit. Here the road starts through the Santiam canyon proper and no trout fisherman ever saw a more Inviting river. The mountain road, hard and smooth, twists through the canyon now 60 feet above the river and now a full 200 feet' over the water for miles and miles. The river is one endless succes sion of rapids and deep holes, whittled down through the ancient basalt. If you are an angler born you will have difficulty in driving the road, since every other bend presents an angling eddy that sur passes the last one. As a scenic highway, completed. It will surpass any road In Oregon. It is the most beautiful drive In the state right now. The road follows the river down the west slope of the Cascade range in a grade that is an engineering masterpiece. The slope Is so grad ual that you won't even notice it for many miles unless you observe that the car's motor is "lazying along" under semi-compression. Suddenly you bounce out at Stay ton, surrounded by some of Ore gon's most beautiful farm country, and thence to Salem and so to Portland. It is a drive you might make on any Sunday, over a highway that drops you Into the land of tall pines and sagebrush In a space of little more than four hours. BOY SCOUTS SEE OVER - JAMBOREE (1y Frank King) WASHINGTON, D. C. July 1. (Special Correspondence) On Tues day the additional boys needed for a full Jamboree troop arrived from the Cascade area council.
