FOOD GIFTS ALWAYS WELCOME The gay holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes the popular tradition of making festive Christmas cookies. Now 1s a good time to invite a few friends over for a cookie-baking, recipe sharing party. New recipes to share are candy cookies, rich cookies made to look like your favorite candy. Easy-to-make, crisp Peanut Fingers are topped with chocolate and nuts making an unusual taste treat. And Ambrosia Balls, with orange and coconut right inside, are a delightful variation of the famil iar Russian tea cakes.

DESERT FRUIT CAKE 2 cups fresh California dates Food Proccessing Growth In State Ties Farm-City Butter, before it was known to be edible, was used by the an cient Greeks as a lamp oil. To day, butter is one of the most im portant staples in the American diet. From Oregon State College News Bureau A big jump in employment dur- ing the past 10 years in ure gon's food processing industries is building a stronger dollar-tie. between the state's farms and cil ies says an Oregon State College agricultural economist. Sales of Oregon farm products last year totaled $424 million. An other $176 million value to these products was added at the first step in marketing, reported Mrs. Elvera Horrell, OSC extension ag ricultural economist. The first marketing step which plays an important part in the economy of Oregon cities includes such examples as grain storage, processing fruits and vegetables, making butter and cheese, and bottling and delivering milk. Total value of $600 million in farm products after the first step in marketing is second only to forests as a source of primary income and is growing rapidly as Oregon processes more of its farm output, Mrs. Horrell said. This rapidly expanding econorn ic bridge between Oregon farms and cities drew statewide atten lion during Farmity Week, Nov. 18 to 24.. While Oregon Department of Employment figures show a 5 per! cent drop in farm jobs in the state since 1950, they record 21 per cent increase in employ, ment in industries processing food products. Fewer farmers, producing more efficiently with mechanical and chemical aids, have also given rise to another phase of agriculture in volving city people: people who provide farmers with services and supplies such as machines, equip ment, and chemicals. Nationally, about two-fifths of the country's entire labor force works at jobs supplying farmers or processing and distributing farm products, the economist reported. Efficiency resulting from this combined farm-city "agribusiness' has boosted the output per-man hour from farms nearly 70 per cent in the past 10 years. Investment in agriculture has expanded along with output. Ore gon farmers have increased invest ments in their farm operations by nearly 50 per cent since 1!)S0. Value of Oregon's farm land and buildings, machinery, and livestock reached $2'i billion last year equal to 70 per cent of the total personal income after taxes of all Oregomans.
