Lamb, Peas Potatoes.
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.

beaten egg, 1- teaspoon salt,
i,4 teaspoon pepper, 1 tea
spoon onion salt. Press into
a loaf pan; bake m moderate,
350 degree oven, 1 hour.
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. A luscious
variation on the corned beef
theme, crowned during the
last 10 minutes of baking with
canned cling peach halves
brushed with a little prepared
mustard. For each 4 generous
servings: 1
1 tablespoon instant minced
. onion or 3 tablespoons
finely chopped raw onion
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons chopped
green pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 12-ounce can corned beef
Vz cup commercial sour
cream
4 canned cling peach halves
1 teaspoon prepared mus
tard Measure instant minced
onion into water; let stand a
few minutes (omit water if
raw onion is used). Cook
onion and green pepper in
butter until soft. Break up
corned beef, add to vegetables
along with sour cream; stir to
combine. Spoon into 8-inch
pie plate. Bake in a hot oven,
400 degrees, for 20 minutes.
Drain canned peaches and
brush each with some mus
tard. Arrange pe,aches over
corned beef and continue bak
ing about 10 minutes longer.
Herbed Green Beans
- Tender canned or frozen
green-beans taste better than
ever " with herb - buttered
crumbs sprinkled generously
over the top. Turn beans into
pan and heat gently.
Meanwhile, brown fine dry
bread crumbs in butter with
Vt teaspoon each of dried
marjoram, oregano and
thyme. Be generous with the
butter, stingy with the heat,
and stir, stir, stir, because
both herbs and crumbs brown
fast. Sprinkle herb crumbs
over hot green beans.

I
. Portland -UPD- Oregon's wa
ter supply outlook, for 1959
is not good at present, W. T.
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.
The next report will be is
issued Feb. 8.
