Specialist Suggests 1 Preparation of Extra Meals for Freezer Madison, Wis. Food specialists suggest that an extra meal can be prepared for freez er storage when cooking main meal dishes such as casseroles, stews and meat pies. Such frozen meals can be kept two to three months and main tain good quality. After six months, although they may drop in quality, they will be safe to use. Recipes should be prepared as usual for freezing, but dishes containing vegetables or macar oni should not be overcooked. Meat pies and turnovers should be frozen unbaked. If thickening is necessary in a recipe, waxy corn flour or rice is best. Crumbs or cheese top ings should be added at the time the food is reheated. Quick cooling after cooking is essential for best natural flavor, color and texture. It also keeps bacteria growth down. To cool, put the uncovered cooking pan Many Drug Products To Come in Spray Form Chicago (U.R) Many of the items in the family medicine cabinet soon will be packaged in spray form, according to Mor ris J.

Botanists Visit Here Last Week The flora of the Siskiyou re gion is "extremely impressive," according to Ewan H. M. Cox, noted botanist and horticultur ist from Perth, Scotland, who visited this area last week. Mr. Cox, who was accompanied by his son, Peter, who is also a horticulturist, stated that the Sis kiyou flora is as "rich" as China, a region known to be one of the best plant sources in the world. The two visitors made a trip into the Illinois valley area Mon day, accompanied by Marcel LePiniec, Applegate, and Frank Fairweather, Medford. Mr. Le Piniec is also a botanist and au thority on rock plants of this and other territories. On their trip up into the Sis kiyou mountains the four men found a specimen of the phlox speciosa in a pink shade which Mr. LePiniec described as dif ferent from those previously classified. The botanist states that the variety is a soft flesh pink and he added that it would make "a splendid garden sub ject." It was named "Coxii" after the visitors. The senior Mr. Cox comment ed that more Oregonians should utilize native plants in their home gardens, and Mr. LePiniec seconded this. The two visitors left Tuesday morning for Portland where the elder Mr. Cox had a speak ing engagement. He was also slated to speak at the Washing' ton Aboretum in Seattle and planned to spend some time at the experiment station at Puyal- lup, Wash., to study soft fruits. Weather and growing condi tions in that region are very similar to those In Perth, Scot land, it was stated, and the same soft fruits are grown. The men previously had spent some time studying desert plants near Phoenix, Ariz., and also were m San Diego before com ing to Oregon. , . Mr. Cox and his son are also authorities oh the rhododendron, and recently published a book on that subject. Ewan Cox has collected plants with the world famous botanist, Reginal Farrer, in Upper Burma, is founder and editor of The New Flora and Silva, an illustrated quarterly horticultural journal published in London, and is author of "Plant Hunting in China" and other books.
