t TWO MEDFOKD (OHEGOrTJ Feeding ihe Family By Zola Food The dairy industry is so vast and so important to the economy of the country that the entire month of June is set apart for celebrating National Dairy Month and for emphasis on the importance of milk and milk products in the family s diet. Milk is one of the oldest known foods. Sanskrit writings 6,000 years ago, mentioned milk as one of the most essential foods. Hippocrates recommend ed milk as a medicine five cen turies B.C. Christopher Colum bus brought the first cows to America on his second voyage in 1495, Cows carne west with the covered wagons. Dairying Major Industry Today, dairying is a major In dustry in Oregon. Latest cow count revealed 219,000 of these milk-giving bovine critters with a value of $47 million. Oregon produced 809 million quarts of milk in 19S0; an average per Oregon milk cow of 2,781 quarts as compared to the national av erage of 2.461 quarts. (1950 sta tistics are most recent. It takes time to count that many quarts of milk). Milk Products Production High Oregon dairylands produced 17,375,000 pounds of creamery butter, 6,680,000 gallons of Ice cream. The Beaver State really shines when it comes to cheese production; is tenth among the 48 states and leads western states by a wide margin. Ore gon's annual cheese production is estimated at 23,750,000 pounds; is enjoyed the world over. Per capita consumption of butter Is 10.8 pounds; of cheese, T.5 pounds; of ice cream, 13.6 Quarts.

Economy of Milk There is no waste in milk. Every drop can be used and the cost is low in proportion to food value. Government nutritionists say that, in terms of money value, from 15 to 13 of the al lowance for the family's food should be spent for milk and milk products. Fluid milk accounts for 37.3 per cent of the more than 57 billion quarts produced annual ly; 22.7 per cent goes Into cream ery butler; 4.3 per cent into farm butter; 9.5 per cent into cheese; 5.8 per cent into evapor ated and condensed milk; 5.1 per cent into ice cream; .8 per cent into dried whole milk. Other uses account for 1.9 per cent in case you're the type w;o adds that all up. Now let's get busy about the care and use of milk and milk products. Car of Milk Celebrate National Dairy Month by checking up on these Items and your habits. Wipe the bottles or cartons with a damp cloth and hustle them Into the refrigerator. Milk needs a cool, dark place. Some precious vitamins are destroyed by light. Cover milk to protect its del icate flavor. Other odors easily creep in when it Is left uncover ed. Pour out the milk you plan to use at any one, time and re turn rest to refrigerator. Use yesterday's milk before today's. This Is easy to do If you always put new containers behind ones already In the re frigerator. Care of Butter Keep butter In refrigerator wrapped and In Its package or a covered container. Remove a cube at a time or cut off the amount you plan to use and refrigerate balance. Care of Cheese Cover all cheese tightly in plastic containers or Jars or wrap well In aluminum foil or waxed paper. Packaged cheese may be stored in its own wrap ping. Keep all cheese in the refrigerator. Soft cheese such as cream and cottage are quite perishable but can be kept for several days in tlgntly covered containers. Cut off any mold that devel opes on hard cheese such as Am erican and Swiss. The cheese underneath is perfectly good. Serve most cheese at room tem perature for best flavor. Car of Ic Cream To store ice cream for a short period in the Ice cube comport ment of your refrigerator, trans fer It to a dry refrigerator tray and cover with waxed paper. Keep ice cream In the cartons In your home freezer or frozen food compartment of the refrig erator ir you have this new type of equipment. Pre-packaged ice cream is Ideal for storage. If held in the deep-freeze, it may need to be softened a little at refrigerator temperature before using. Air Assaults Won't Intimidate Enemy Pnnmunjom. Korea (U.R . Red truce negotiators.

I 1 Heavy Infestation Of Juniper trees, madronas and Other shrubs are badly infested with scale in this area, accord ing to C. B. Cordy, county ex tension agent. The Infestation is so severe in many cases that much of the inside growth has died, he said. The juniper scale is very small and difficult to detect, he stated. The scale now on the madrona trees is about half the size of a pencil eraser. Now is one of the two times when these scales can be con trolled. The young are seeking a place to settle down for their lives and their bodies are soft and unprotected. They can be largely destroyed by sprays. The other time of the year when the scales can be controlled Is the dormant season. Many yard and garden shrubs are evergreens that cannot tol erate the caustic sprays used for dormant spraying, so the summer spray is necessary. This spray consists cf one pint of REMEMBER!

YU IBET YOUR I 0 EE Every time you cross a street against a red light every time you dash out from behind parked ears in mid-block, every time you walk to the right, with your beck to traffic, instead of to the left on a rural highway you bet yoor lifel In 1950, 9,400 pedestrians bet and lost. Another 299,000 gambled against traffic odds and came away injured. One out of every three traffic deaths were pedestrians, most of them struck down at or between intersections or on the open roads during dark hours. """ We are still a nation of jay-walkers whose mental attitude apes the speeding driver, getting there fastest by the shortest route and leaving personal safety at the curb. Then you are walking remember, the red light means you, too. Cross at inter sections on the green or amber light meant for you, but watch out for reckless drivers, too, On highways walk facing oncoming cars.
