Drain The Story Of Honey When you carry a supply of Idalto honey from an elevation of approximately 3,500 feet to an ele vation of a little over 29,000 feet, the difference would seem to be a matter of about 25,500 feet, or lmhtlv less than five miles, But when the honey is carried from the clover fields of Wendell, Idaho, to the towering Himalayan peaks of Mt. Everest; Lhotse and Nuptse, there is an added diner- ence of something over 10,000 miles. The final five miles, of course, remain the most difficult and this is one of the reasons the honey is being taken with them by a team of eighteen men max lug the first all-Amcrican assault on Everest and its neighboring mountains. Nutritious, energizing and easy to carry, the honey may veil be expected to withstand changes In climate and altitude even better than the Intrepid men who are taking it with them. Supplies in two forms by R. D. Bradshaw & Sons, of Wendell, Idaho, the honey demonstrated its worth in advance in a rigorous 10' day preliminary scries of tests on the slopes of Washington s 14,406. foot Mt. Rainier. Part of the honey is in the relatively new spun form, which enables it to be spread easily on any other edible substance. The rest of it is of the! customary more viscous variety. Because both kinds are pure hon ey, with nothing added or deleted, the important element of flavor remains unchanged. D. B. "Buzz" Bradshaw, his brother Kenneth and his son, O. J. "Doug" Bradshaw, who are re-' puled to be the largest producers and packers of honey in the na tion, are not accompanying their products on the expedition. While they remain in the continental tnited States, however, they will be Intensely interested in the progress of a remarkable physical and scientific effort being made in distant Nepal by Norman G Dyhrenlurth and his 17 American Ripe Olives For Salads There's appetuing color galore in "Merry-As-May Salad," plus mis 01 eating satisinction.

The attempted scaling of Mt Everest, which at 29.141 feet is the highest mountain in the world and has been mastered only twice before, will be paralleled by a unique simultaneous attempt to climb both 27,890-ioot Lhotse (world's fourth highest peak) and 25,850-foot Nuptse. The latter two peaks have been conquered only once in the past. Neither the en tire ambitious project nor any part of it has ever been undertaken before by a group originating en tirely in the United States. The Bradshaw honey is travel ing in the company of an expedi tion which has impressive backing! from American military, civil and scientific sources. Far from being just a dare-devil mountaineering effort, the bold venture embraces six major fields of scientific re search and is endorsed and sup ported by financial grants frnml the Office of Naval Research, the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the National Science Foundation, the National Geo graphic Society, the University of California and other donors of funds. Among the studies to be made are those in such fields as human behavior under stress, so ciology, physiology, glaciology and solar radiation. Included in the personnel of the expedilion nro three medical doctors and five Ph.D.s. All the men on the team have had extensive mountain climbing experience not only in this country but in Europe, Alas ka, South America or the Him alaya. Between them, they have more than 60 major mountain and sci entific expeditions to their credit. The average of (lie team is 34, with actual ages running from 24 to 54.

Warm days make as paragus pop out of the ground like magic ... it can grow eight to 10 inches in a day! The season is short for this delicacy, so use it often. 1 ASPARAGUS AVAILABILITY February through June are the months we find ft'eali aapaiaguS in Oregon markets. April and May arc the biggest months for this delicious fresh vegetable. Most of the Oregon fresh aspara gus comes to market during the months of May and June. There are two main areas where as paragus is grown in Oregon PolK County, and the Milton-Freewa-tor area. A few acres are plant ed in Clackamas County. Cold weather has delayed the local asparagus a few warm days are necessary before any amount of local grass will appear on the markets. An increasing amount of Ore gon asparagus has been frozen and canned. From isoi-W), an av erage of 60 per cent of the crop was orocessed. Last year 74 per cent of the local asparagus weni to processors. SELECTION Shop for asparagus that has firm, fresh, crisp, bright-green stalks . . . sians of food value and flavor. Tips should be tight ly closed and compact, brigni oreen or purplish green in color. Stalks should be medium to thick. thin stalks are more likely to be stringy and less tender, STORAGE AND COOKING TIPS Asnaraous is very perishable and is best wncn usca rigoi away. Keep refrigerated until rea dy to use. Moist asparagus nas a short life, so wash just before using, or pat dry before putting in refrigerator. Break asparagus stalks where thev snao easily just below the tender part. Wash well. If there is anv sand underneam me scales, the scales must be removed. Oc- rasionallv a driving rainstorm forces sand under scales and makes this tedious task neces sary. To cook whole spears, tie them into a bundle and stand upright in a narrow sauccpnn or top of a double boiler. Use enough boiling s.-ilivt waler to cover part ot the stems; the tips steam tender as stalks boil. When cookinc asparagus pieces, put the lower part of the stalks in a saucepan containing a smau amount of boiling salted water. Lav the tips on top and let sleam as stalks boil. Or cook Hie stalks approximately eight to 10 minutes: then add the lips and cook lor five minutes more, or until tender. Cooking first two or three minutes without a lid helps maintain green color.

Because of the care required to control the tem perature and light for growth, it is also higher in price than field grown rhubarb which is now in the markets. The peak month for field grown rhubarb is May. ' Attractive color is one of the signs of quality in rhubarb. Stalks should feel crisp avoid wilted stalks. It's no trick to cook rhubarb. Use very little water just enough to cover bottom of pan. When rhubarb is tender, sweeten to taste. Baked rhubarb generally holds its shape better than the sauce cooked on top of the range. Simply combine rhubarb, sugar, and a dash of salt. Cover the baking dish and bake in 400 de grees F. oven about 10 minutes, or until tender. Within the next two weeks, if producers get a break in the weather, rhubarb supplies should bo plentiful. Prices should be low enough to make canning or irecz ing practical. Fresh frozen rhubarb pie or cobbler tastes mighty good in the wintertime, and rhubarb is won derfully easy to freeze. Simply wash and cut pieces to fit the containers do not peel. It is not necessary to add sugar. Cover label, and pop into the freezer. Color is well retained during froz en storage. V' .

A food freezer plan is usually a package purchase a contract to buy a freezer and certain quantity of frozen food to go into the freezer with several choices for purchasing the food. But as for any package purchase, its wise to break the total cost into the individual charges for com parison. Shoppers need to know: What arc the finance charges for the freezer? For the food: What about the cost of the food would you be able to save more by taking advantage of weekly and seasonal specials at local markets than by buying food according to the. freezer plan? Food storcsi and locker plants often give quan tity discounts on frozen foods, too. Because the freezer is the most expensive item in the freezer plan, be sure to learn its actual cost. This way you can compare the cost of the freezer with one you might buy at an appliance store or discount house. - If purchased over time, there may be carrying charge. Since thjs is a part of the overall cost, shoppers should know how- much this cost wyi be. Some frozen food plans include a financing charge for the food as well as the freezer. If interest ed in the freezer plan, find out if! includes a finance charge for the food. Shoppers remember to read carefully any contracts. There may be a handling and processing charge for cutting and wrapping food prior to freezing or for de livery to your home. Find out what would happen if you should move some distance from the supplier or the supplier moves. Biggest advantage of any freez er is convenience. The total an nual cost of owning and operating a freezer usually amounts to 10 to 20 cents a pound over and above the cost of food. The important thing on any. freezer purchase is to learn the total costs before you sign any contracts or make any binding decisions. 3B70 $.. vNeed Money For Spring? npriiif iimp 1 111 -up um around inc nam.
