Oreqon Man Wins Award For Food . Industry Work Corvallis - Prof. Ernest H W leg and, the man who launched Oregon'! J7.500.000 maraschino cherry Industry and who pioneered work in other branches of the state's multi-million dollar food in dustry, has won the nation's top award for "outstanding achievements in food tech nology." He will receive the $1,000 Appert award and plaque sponsored by The Institute of Food Technologists at the group's 20th annual meeting at San Francisco in May. Wiegand founded the Ore gon State college food tech nology department in 1919 and was department head un til his retirement in 1952. Since then, he has served as a consultant to the food in dustry. The OSC food technology department was one of the first organized in the United States and is ranked today among the top two or three departments in the country. Departmental research find ings have meant millions of dollars every year to Oregon and the teaching program has produced many of the leaders in food technology throughout the nation, college officials pointed out. J Wiegand developed a meth od of cherry brining In 1925 that has been adopted by the maraschino Industry both In the U.S. and in Europe. Brin ing is the first step in making the fancy maraschino cherries that are used in fruit cock tail, as garnishes, candied for confections, chopped for ice creams, or made into choco lates. Research on cherry brining was started with an eye on helping market the surplus of the stale's cherry crop. It not only solved this problem but developed into a $7,500,000 annual operation. Other Wiegand contribu tions included development of a tunnel food dehydrator, used widely by prune growers; per fection of methods for canning and freezing fruits and veg etables; and the invention of fruit grading machines in which he holds two public service patents. He started a series of annual short courses designed to keep food industry workers abreast of new devel opments in 1922. GOOD DESCRIPTION Fort Worth. Tex.

Interest to Start On Tax Payments Salem The State Tax Com mission has reemphasized the fact that an interest charge on Installment payments of state income tax goes Into ef fect April 15, the deadline for filing returns. In previous years there has been no such charge, but the last Legislature imposed a one per cent per-month charge for those electing to make quart erly payments. Persons choosing to pay by Installment this year will find two amounts on their quar terly statements from the coin mission. One will be the amount of their minimum quarterly payment, including interest, and the othcrkthe en tire unpaid balance, including interest.
