(OLYMPIA BEER ALWAYS RIGHT F0R (SUMMER REFRESHMENT KEEP A SUPPLYI FOR YOUR GUESTS. Feeding the Family By Zola Vincent Food Editor OLYMPU IHPHIM CO.. Olympii. Wash., U.S.A. Luckv are we who are privi-l leged to live on the west coast which nrovides such a wealtn ot seasonal good things, fresh from nearby orchards, berry larms and melon acreage. Much of this bounty is ours within hours of harvesting. We get it at its best, thanks to the ingenuity and re sourcefulness of our local fruit men who buy, merchandise, handle and sell it in a highly competitive market. It is doubt ful if consumers anywhere else in the United States enjoy sucn consistently low prices on "per ishables." Handle With Care We've said it before and we're eoinff to sav it again, "the less the consumer handles fruit, ber ries and melons when purchas ine. the longer their life, the lower the prices." Summer Market Survey Apricots which date back to the davs of the ancient Persians are a delicacy sure to be enjoy ed. Golden yellow color, plump ness and firmness are indica tions of quality.

This year's crop is 24 per cent below the average which means that prices are likely to remain compara tively high. June and July are their peak season. Avocados. This year's crop is a record breaker. No longer a luxury, avocados continue abundant with about 56 of the total national crop grown in California. There are many ways of using them, but none superior, we think, to serving them on the half shell simply with salt and lemon juice. Berries of All Kinds. Ah! Here is where we really shine! Black berries, blueberries, currants gooseberries, raspberries and strawberries are in their peak season. Boysenberries, loganber ries and young berries are in good supply. Enjoy them in some form every day. This being National Dairy Month, there is no better way of serving berries than with cream, ice cream or custards. Cantaloupes. This year's ar rivals are fairly bulging with fragrant, juicy, sweetness and the size of the crop, though late, is 'way above average. Weight- watchers will especially ' wel come the cantaloupe season be cause cantaloupes are low in calories yet very, very nutri tious They're equally at home at breakfast, luncheon, dinner, supper or for between-meal snacks. Fine for going on pic nics, too. Cherries. An abundance of Tartarians, Bings, Lamberts. Crop is double last year's, 22 per cent above average. High qual ity is denoted by plumpness with a orignt appearance, iirmness and good color. Those big dark sweet varieties are mostly west ern grown with bright red, sour varieties for pies and jellies com ing later from central and east ern states. Prices should be low er than in recent years. For pit ting, try using a clean pen hold er with a strong point inserted. Grapefruit. We're not eating as much this year as last. Qual ity is excellent, prices low. Ship ments taper off in June toward the year's low in July and Aug ust. Enjoy grapefruit now. Sec tions are perfect for inclusion in any salad. Figs. The fresh fig is a prime favorite of epicures and is in season June to September. High ly perishable; a good source of natural fruit sugar with mod erate caloric rating. Grapes. Large crop in pros pect. Thompson seedless, those small olive-shaped grapes that come in large bunches will soon be moving into market, contin uing throughout November. Oth er varieties show up later in the summer and fall. Honeydews. A few coming in now, but July, August and Sep tember is when they really roll. Honeyballs of which production is small reach their peak in July. Oranges. Almost all on the market now are juicy Valencias. Peaches. Crop is slightly above last year. Harvest has be gun but becomes heavier in July. Keep in mind that green peaches stay sour. To be good, peaches must look good. This fruit gains no sugar after picking. 1 SEASON'S DELICACIES New season fruits, berries and melons are arriving in local markets in profusion to please the eye, palate and pocketbook. Suggested methods of preparing these delicacies appear in today's Feeding the Family column. Pineapples continue abundant in June coming mostly from Mexico and Cuba, some from Hawaii. Fully ripe pineapples are slightly soft to the touch, golden yellow in color and have a "piney" aroma. Size has little to do with quality but avoid fruit that appears too green or over-ripe. Fresh pineapple bruise easily. Do not store in heat or sunlight. Plums. Short crop along with apricots. About half as many as last year and 'way below aver age. Prices likely to remain high. Degree of softness of the flesh is a fairly reliable guide to maturity. Rhubarb. Though actually a vegetable, we mention it here because it is a fine appetizer, breakfast and desert item. Outdoor-grown rhubarb is at its plentiful best in June. Strawberries. Crop largest since 1942. California, Oregon and Washington lead the coun try among producers of this most popular and prolific of all berries. Watermelons. June and July are peak months. This year's heavy crop should result in low er prices, encourage large consumption. Avoid Fruit Salad Assembly Line When it comes to arranging fruit . salad plates, it has long been the custom to try to make them all look alike at any given meal. Why? We're all for avoid ing the" assembly line production methods. Variations add to salad plate charm and interest; get them selves talKed about. .Be sure salad arrangements are handled quickly; both fruit and plates chilled. Never try to re-arrange or to patch a salad arrangement. 'Tis nothing a bit of watercress, mint or 'other decoration can't take care of. Fruit Salad Plates Are Summer Dsii.-'af To Please Everyone Practically all fruits, berries and types of melon can be as sembled for fruit salad plates, so let your imagination take over. Large strawberries, being sweetest, are choicest for salad making. Serve them with hulls for finger eating part of the time. If hulled, leave whole un less they are very large in which event they should be halved. All other berries ,being free of hull, should be chosen for firmness, full color; can be arranged in "heaps" or as garnish. Bing and Royal Anne cherries appear often on salad plates with stem attached for finger eating. Pretty, too. j Summer avocados which arej so plentiful can be used in any fruit salad combination or as a container when halved. Avo cados must be marinated in French dressing or lemon juice immediately after peeling and other preparation. Grapefruit sections andor or ange sections or slices may well be a part of any fruit salad arrangement. Early peaches, plums and ap ricots are to be found in markets now and later nectarines, grapes and pears will join the galaxy of salad ingredients. Black Mission figs and dates can be used whole or coarsely chopped. Raisins may be sprinkled over practically any salad arrange ment. Walnut halves, whole or sliv ered blanched almonds, chopped peanuts or cashews are often used effectively in salad arrange ments. Rescued Pup Finds Two New Masters Battle Ground, Wash (UP.) A frightened, half-starved pup, named Tippy, was adopted by new masters Wednesday after he was rescued from a three day imprisonment in a dry well here. Larry Marsolek, 12, and his eight-year-old brother, Billy, took the pup after he was freed from the 45-foot well Monday by 14-year-old Frank Parks of Portland, a summer employee at the Battle Ground lake resort. The youth was lowered into the well by a rope and then both he and the dog were raised to safety. Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture By C. B. CORDY (Editor's note: This is one of a series of articles on gar dening subjects, prepared for The Mail Tribune by the Jack son county agent for horticul ture. They will be carried weekly during the gardening season.) WOOD DOOR NEEDED Effingham, 111. (U.R) Eight-year-old Dallas Coats, in a hur ry to get outside, straight-armed the front door's window glass at his home and slashed his left arm. Next Dallas tried a flying exit on his way to school and gashed his right arm on broken glass left in the door. The doc tor advised the family to get a solid-wood door. Fresh pineapple slices, sticks or chunks lend themselves to attractive arrangements. Banana halves, quarters or slices are popular. Run fork tines along full length of banana and then slice slanche-wise for good effect. Bananas should be immediately coated with lemon juice, orange juice or French dressing to avoid discoloration Cantaloupes and honeyballs may be - halved, cut in thirds, quartered or sliced in half moons and then peeled as a fine under pinning for many salad plate arrangements.

Most of our plants will use about an inch of water every five days in hot weather. An inch of water means that we must cover the area with enough water to meas ure an inch deep. A simple way to determine this where you sprinkle is to place a straight sided can, such as a coffee can, under the sprinkler and see how long it takes to collect an inch of water. By timing this you will then know how long to let the sprinkler set in one place. Need More Watering Most plants will get along nicely if irrigated once every five days although a few plants such as begonias, require more frequent watering and some of our deep rooted trees prefer less frequent but more thorough wa tering. If in doubt about your soil moisture conditions, take a shovel and dig down a foot and a half and if the soil is dry, ir rigate. If water collects in the bottom of the hole, then you are using too much water and your deep rooted plants may be severely damaged. Whether the water is applied by sprinkler or surface irrigation is unimpor tant. There are very few plants which will be injured by sprink ling and some of them actually prefer it. Moisture shortages frequently show up first in lawns when they are bordered by hedges or if a tree is planted in the mid dle. This is due to the competi tion between the two plants for the moisture. Another place it frequently shows is in a lawn where It drops off sharply to Population Count Nets Lobster Dinner Grand Rapids, Mich. (U.R) Because Grand Rapids has an of ficial population of 175,647, its mayor and members of the city commission received a lobster dinner. The Salt Water Farms, Inc., of Damaristotta, Me., shipped its 175,647th lobster on the comp any's third anniversary and de cided to give a dinner for offic ials of the city which had clos est to 175,647 inhabitants. Grand Rapids exactly fitted the specifications. the sidewalk. The lawn dries out more quickly here because grass is drawing moisture from both sides of the angle. Slope More Difficult It is also more difficult to wet up the soil there as the water has a tendency to run down the slope instead of sinking In. Where this condition exists it takes a lot of patience and long, slow watering to soak up the soil. This can be accomplished either by light, frequent sprink ling several times a day or by the use of a soaking hose. After the soil is again soaked up, a little additional watering should be given to those corners in or der to keep them moist.
