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. Handle with

PRICES GOOD FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
care always since they decay
quickly, lose flavor. 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.

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.

(Editor's note: This is one
of a series of articles on gar

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.

Supplying adequate water to
plants is of great importance
now in maintaining them in a
good vigorous condition. 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.
