SUMMER SQUASH IS RICK
IN VITAMINS A AND B

mins A and B to the diet Use
them often.
The most important of the
white group is the Cymling or
Potty-Pan the small flat squash,
with deep scallops around the
edge. It has a soft, smooth rind
and may bo used raw as a salad
material or stuffed and baked,
The yellow variety, known as
the Crook-neck, is perhaps the
most popular. The small bumps
and crooked neck which were so
pronounced in this variety years
ago aro only faintly noticed to
day. Plant scientists have been
breeding to straighten out the
neck so that the squash will pack
better in the crates for shipping.
Tho green variety is known os
Zucchini or Italinn squash. It is
long, slender and cylindrical in
shape and its dark green ring is
striped with' white. Zucchini
makes a very tempting dish eith
er boiled, sauteed or simmered
in tomato sauce.
No matter which variety you
select, be sure the squash is
fresh, free from blemishes, fairly
heavy for its size, with a skin
that Is easily punctured. There
is no 'need -to. peel, the skin of
such a tender squash, nor to re

Demonstrations Scheduled
On Preservation of Food
With the possibility of food
shortages next winter, home
makers are urged to preserve
every morsel of food they can
get this summer and waste
nothing from their Victory gar
dens. Good preservation demon
strations have been held in
seven communities by Winni
fred K. Gillen, home demon
stration agent, as a part of the
Klamath county nutrition com
mittee's program.
All non-acid vegetables, and
meat, fish and poultry should
be processed in a pressure cook
er because boiling water is not
enough at this altitude to in
sure adequate sterilization, ac
cording to Mrs. Gillen. Fruit
and tomatoes may be processed
in a hot water bath, but' the
time indicated on the time
schedule in canning books
should be increased 20 per cent
for this altitude. The pressure
should be increased two pounds
over that given in the schedule
for pressure cooker processing
at this altitude.
Other demonstrations to be
held out in the county are at
Malin on Tuesday, July 6, at 2
p. m., at the high school home
economics room. The demon
stration will be on the "Use of
the Pressure Cooker in Can
ning," and "Dehydration of
Fruits and Vegetables."
On Thursday, July 8, a dem
onstration will be given at Wey
erhaeuser Camp No. 6 on "Can
