Menus; Budget Recovers It .was a merry time while it lasted, but now comes the reckoning and we who budg et just happen to be very, very lucky because January comes in like a lamb with plenty of lamb, the biggest crop of canned peas on re cord, and an abundance of potatoes. Right there are the makings of many a fine meal at very low cost. It seems that 800,000 more Iambs are ready for market ing than is customary at this season, and Northwestern grown lambs are known to be the meatiest, the tastiest. Furthermore, people in our part of the country like lamb better than anybody. The lamb, like other four legged critters, has many working parts besides the popular more expensive hind legs and the chops. There's just as good eating in lamb shanks, neck slices, shoulder roasts, should e chops, breast, patties and stew meat from neck, breast, shank or shoulder. Big Bargain Canned peas are a big bar gain. Now is the time to buy by the dozen, or buy the case which means 24 cans. Flavor was never better and their versatility is amazing since they go with everything and in anything besides being mighty good simply seasoned with butter, salt and pepper; maybe a dash of dill, a trim of tarragon, a dollop of sour cream, a topping of slivered almonds, a sprinkle of mint a scattering of minced onion Potatoes pack a punch any time. They are a, powerhouse of energy at low cost. Crop is much bigger than usual and quality is excellent. Bake them, boil them, cream or scallop them; fry them or mash them; put them in soups and chowders; make potato dumplings, salads.

Be A Better Buyer When you go supermarket- ing, plan to shop during the slow hours (mornings and early afternoons) and on slow days (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) when possible. Check shelves and refrig erator for items neeaed ana write 'em down on one side of adequate paper (no more bits and scraps). Check newspaper ads to take advantages of the many specials. Many think it vital to shop for meat first . since other purchases often depend on this choice. Learn the Gov ernment grades or brands. Ask meatman to explain cuts and quality if you're uncer tain. If you shop in a self service meat, department, read the labels; make com parisons of quality and weight to best serve your family at the lowest cost. Watch for in - season specials in fresh fruits and vegetables; plentifuls are piled high, offer the best values; vary from week to week. Not Always Best The big economy package isn't always the best buy for your family. Consider storage space and how soon you're likely to use it up. Take advantage of intro ductory sales and of multiple unit savings; try new items. If the family likes them, go "special" or "deal," is still on. Store fresh and frozen foods properly and prompt ly after getting them home. Plan to use all of what you buy fairly soon. Follow package directions. Food companies spend for tunes working out cooking directions- and recipes design ed to produce the most near ly perfect results for you. Use tested recipes and avoid costly mistakes. Keep an emergency shelf. A meal on the shelf or in the freezer saves much money wasted by hasty shopping for a few items. Cook to retain the food values you bought. Use low heat, small amounts of water Don't overcook. Don't pour all those good minerals and vitamins down the drain. As a courtesy to those superwomen at the check-out stand, keep packages price-side-up; place groceries on checkout counter with can ned and bottled goods first, then bulky items and perish ables last. Have money ready. Creamy Corned Beef Bake with Peaches A budget . balancer to de light the family.

Frost, snow survey supervis or of the Department of Ag riculture said Wednesday. However, he said water sup plies in reservoirs were ex cellent. The mountain snow-pack averages a new record low, according to current surveys. Water content of mountain snow-cover in Oregon aver ages only 17 per cent of the Jan. 1 normal compared with 120 per cent at this time last year. Although snow is in short supply throughout Ore gon, Frost said it appears to be at least short in the north eastern counties. Normally; about 39 per cent of the total winter's "snow crop", is accumulated by Jan. 1. Frost said, "we have ac cumulated only 6 per cent of the normal winter's 'crop.' Frost said it is possible that future snow storms might make up the present shortage of snow. However, in only 4 out of the past 30 years has the snow-pack come up to normal by May 1 when it was much below normal on Jan. 1. Frost added that mountain soils in the Cascades are "sat isfactorily wetted." In the mountainous regions of east ern Oregon, the soils are only moderately wetted; conditions being generally somewhat better than last year. Stored water in 20 import ant irrigation reservoirs is now 132 per cent of the aver age Jan. 1 amount and slight ly better than last year. All of these reservoirs now hold above normal water supplies with the exception of Agency Valley, Unity and McKay which are somewhat below normal. Emigrant Gap Reser voir has been lowered for con struction purposes. State-wide precipitation av eraged 73 per cent of normal at 13 valley station for the period October through De cember. Precipitation has been only half normal or less in the vicinity of Enterprise, Burns, N y s s a, Lakeview, Klamath Falls and Medford, In most other places it has been nearer normal. Present outlook for the 1959 April through September ir rigation season is for much below average streamflow un less succeeding winter storma produce much above average amounts of snow-stored water.
