Male Most of Fresh
Fruits and Barries
Almost every market report
throughout the entire country to
day starts with "principal pro
ducing states are C a 1 ifornia,
Washington and Oregon" with
Idaho, Arizona and other west
ern areas in the vanguard. Let's
run down the list of plentifuls
in peak production. Alphabet
ically, seems a good way.
Apricot Abundance
The principal producing states
are California, Washington and
Utah with Oregon, Idaho and
Colorado as secondary areas of
production. Many more apri
cots than last year with more
than half the total crop coming
to market this month. Very few
in August, so make the most of
them now. '
Apricot Ways. Fine for eating
out-of-hand, in fresh fruit salads,
fruit cocktails. Serve them with
cream, with lemon or banana in
stant pudding as a sauce. Put
them in shortcakes, up-side-down
cakes, pies, dumplings, souffle
or whip. Make apricot butter,
preserves, conserve, jams. Stew,
spice or pickle them with or
without pits. Puree apricots for
a beverage or a sauce for ice
cream.
Apricot Fritters. For an un
usual dessert, served with sauce
or tart jelly, use fresh apricot
halves. Beat two eggs until very
light. Add one cup sifted flour,
one-eighth teaspoon salt, one
tablespoon salad oil. Beat in two
teaspoons lemon juice and
enough cold water to make a
batter like heavy cream. Dust
apricot halves with flour and
dip in batter. Fry in deep fat,
drain and dust with powdered
sugar. Do a few at a time in
order to keep fat at an even
temperature. Very good as meat
accompaniment, too.
Blackberries-Dewberries
To the blackberry and dew
berry families belong the west's
famed Loganberry, the Young
berry and the Boysenberry.
These do not stand long ship
ment; are used mostly for can
ning and freezing and enjoyment
in local areas where grown.
Lucky us! About a third of the
annual total is marketed in
July, but qua ntity is never
large. '
U n s u r p assed when served
whole with cream. Crush them
and add sugar. Use them in pies,
cakes, tarts, muffins and pudd
ings. Good with other fruits raw
or cooked; also in ice creams
and-sherbets. Many like them
for wines and cordials.
Blueberry Bounty
At peak in July when around
half of annual total comes to
market. The cultivated member
of the huckelberry family, blue
berry acreage is increasing right
along as bigger and better ber
ries are developed. In case you're
interested, our Department ' of
Agriculture refers to huckleber
ries as "wild" and blueberries as
"tame."
Blueberry Ways. Wild or
tame, huckleberries or blueber
ries, they're a treat in many
ways. Serve them raw with sugar
and cream. Put them in jam
Stew them or make a pie, pud
ding, shortcake, tarts or add
them to breakfast rolls. They're
fine combined with other fruits
in a fruit cup; are superb in ice
cream or when used as a sundae
sauce. As pictured, they're very
good with lemon or banana
cream instant pudding made ac
cording to package directions.
Sweet Cherries
The easterners grow the sour
cherries. We grow the sweet
cherries in California, Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colo
rado and Montana. On the mar
ket May through August, more
than a third of the crop comes
to market in July. Enjoy them
now.
Cherry Ways. Enjoy them out-of-hand,
in salads, cooked in
pies, tarts, cakes. Put up jellies,
jams, preserves, sauces, pickles.
Use them in ice cream, puddings
and other desserts as well as in
fruit cups. Most popular sweet
varieties are B i n g, Tartarian,
Lambert, Republican and Chap
man. Royal Annes are mainly a
canning and processing variety;
most of them wind up as ''maras
chinos." Nectarines Smooth
The nectarine is a smooth
skinned peach; one of the most
interesting phenomena in horti
culture. The nectarine is small
er than the peach, has firmer
flesh, greater aroma and a dis
tinct and richer flavor. Like
peaches they are clingstone or
freestone and the flesh may be
red, yellow or white. They peak
in July and August and are more
plentiful than last year.
Nectarine Ways. N e c tarines
are used in all the ways peaches
are; fresh as a table fruit, stew
ed, baked in pies and other
baked dishes, made into pre
serves, jams and ice cream. They
are canned and also dried.
Peaches Plentiful
Biggest crop of peaches in 10
years; 11 per cent above aver
age. About half of all commer
cial peaches are marketed fresh
with majority of balance going
into cans for year-round enjoy
ment. Peak in July and August.
Confer with fruit man on sup
plies for canning and freezing
and he will be happy to " special
order'' them for day wanted.
Elberta is the oustanding vari
ety of freestone with J. H. Hales
second in importance. Most of
the clingstones go into cans.
Peach Ways. Most of the
peaches are eaten fresh out-of
hand, in salads and as peaches
and cream. They're also good
in pies, cakes, shortcakes and
tarts; are widely used for jellies,
preserves, nectar and as pickled
peaches.
Peacherino. The easiest up
side down cake we ever heard
of. Butter 8x8x2 inch baking
pan. Cover" bottom with sliced
fresh peaches, slightly sweeten
ed. Over peaches, plaee canned
oven-ready, cinnamon or pecan
rolls. Bake in hot oven, 425 de
grees, 12 to 15 minutes or until
rolls are done. Turn upside down
on serving plate. Serve with
honey sweetened whipped
cream.
Pears Appear
No question about it, lots of
good things come in pears. Calif
ornia Bartletts are the first to
appear and the crop is 'way
above average; then come pear
from Oregon and Washington:
the three states producting ap
proximately 90 per cent of all
pears sold commercially. Bart-
lett is the principal canning pear
and the major fresh pear for
many months to come.
Pear Pleasures. Eat them out-
of-hand, stew, bake, fry, pickle
or glaze them. Use them in jel
lies, jams, marmalades, in fresh
fruit salads with peaches, prunes,
melons, grapes or berries in sea
son. Core them and top with
mint sherbet. Top them with ice
cream to make sundaes. Many
think fresh pears with these
slices on the side a superb des
sert. Add a bit of candied ginger
to cottage cheese and with pear
halves. Brush Bartlett halves
with butter, sprinkle with brown
sugar and broil until glazed for
serving with meat.
Plum Wonderful
Perhaps we should spell that
"plumb" w o n d e rful because
that's what plums are. Almost
all of the fresh plums grown
commercially in the U.S. are
from California with the Pacific
northwest distinguished for its
prune varieties. Practically all
plums are marketed fresh with
supplies increasing right along.
Of all the stone fruits, plums
have the greatest number and
greatest diversity of kinds and
species.
Plum Ways. Plums and fresh
prunes are excellent eaten out-
ol-hand.. ihey have a relresnwg
tart sweetness that makes them
good in pies, stewed fruit, pre
serves, jellies and jams. They're
tasty in ice cream, in puddings
and Bavarian creams, in cakes,
tarts and pastries. They are can
ned and frozen and made into
juice. They also give a delight
ful color note when cut in sec
tions and used in fresh fruit "sal

Mrs. K. G. Jane should go
back and settle things.
Jane G. I can't throw myself
at a man.
Mrs. K. G. My 26-year-old
daughter is very unhappy be
cause of a summer romance that
never got off the ground.
'Jane met Stan while on vaca
tion in another state, quite far
from us. She was staying with
friends and ran into Stan during
the last few days of her visit,
so they could not get to know
one another too well. They hit
it off wonderfully, however, and
even talked of love and marriage
and said they would see one
another again very soon.
They have been correspond
ing all winter and Jane con
tinually moons over Stan and
says she can't find anyone else
she really enjoys being with. She
has had quite a lonely, year. I
told her to invite, him to our
home for the holidays, but he
v asn't able to come.
1 say she should go back this
year and settle things, but these
friends have not invited her. I
see nonobjection to her going
and stopping at a hotel, but she
says it wouldn't look right.
Jane G. My mother doesn't
seem to see anything wrong with
throwing yourself at a 'man, but
I just can't be that way. If those

marketed in July. As we keep
srying, "enjoy nature's bounty
while ye may." Very few rasp
berries are grown nowadays and
they're likely to remain a luxury
item. Superlative fresh from
the refrigerator and served "as
is," with a light sprinkling of
powdered sugar' and a pitcher of
cream nearby. Good, too, with a
topping of lemon instant pudding

ections. Instant Creamy Lemon Sauce.

REAPPOINTED AT 95
Chamberlain. S.D. W At
the age of 95, C. D. Tidrick was
reappointed to another four-year
term as U. S. Commissioner for
central South Dakota. He was
first appointed to the post May
22, 1917.
It takes approximately seven
years for cultured pearls to de
velop. They are made by in
troducing an irritant inside the
friends had Invited me, it would
be different, but this .way it's
obvious that I've come back just
for Stan. What will he. think of
me? And then suppose nothing
happens. I will have to come
home, like something thrown out
in the ash can. After all, I have
feelings. -
Stan keeps talking about how
wonderful it was to be with me
and how much he wants to see
me again, but it just doesn't
seem that we can get togther.
I think my mother's invitation
to our home for the holidays
may have scared him off. My
mother is much too bold.
Stan isn't the type to be hus
tled into anything. Yet I know
he must care for me because
when I don't write for a few
weeks, he always writes to me
asking what's wrong. He's very
affectionate in his letters.
The Council: Stan and Jane
sound like perfect pen pals and
are likely to remain that way for
the rest of their lives unless one
of them makes some decisive
move.
It is doubtful whether these
two young people really want
this romance to "get off the
ground." Through their corres
pondence they have, gotten the
illusion of a courtship and po
tential marriage without any of
the threatening entanglements.
Distance is ther chief attraction
for one another.
There is no point in Mrs. K.
G.'s pushing the matter any
further than her daughter wish
es to go, but she should.' give
Jane no sympathy or encourage-,
ment in her "mooning." It is
obvious that Jane can bring, the
matter to some sort of conclu
sion if she really wants to.
If she doesn't, she should be
encouraged to find eligible
young men nearer home. She
and Stan could not possibly have
gotten to know one another well
enough to form a real friendship
in the short period they were
together.
Jane should be a little more
honest with herself. If she truly
cared for Stan, she would be
less concerned about her feelings
in the face of a possible rejec
tion. It is not "throwing your
self at a man" to show that you
like him and would like to get
to know him better. If that
"scares him off," he's better left
to his bachelor state.
