The turkey industry in Colum
bia county is not so very big com
pared to some of our other com
modities, but we need not take a
back seat to anyone when it
comes to quality. Loren Johnson,
Scappoose, and his son. Bruce,
a 4-H club member, really put
the county on the map when they
won the grand champions in the
junior and senior divisions in the
dressed turkey show at Milwau
kee, Wisconsin. This show wras
held in conjunction with the sixth
National Turkey Federation con
vention, January 13 to 15.
Both grand champion birds
were young Broad-B r e a s t e d
Bronze hens weighing 22 and 23
pounds respectively. Loren also
won the reserve champion with
u 24-pound adult Broad-Breasted
Bronze hen. Thus, Oregon pretty
much dominated the entire show.

Oregonians have a good chance
of getting enough Vitamin C rich
foods' in their winter meals. For
the b: st of health we need one or
two servings of such foods every
day.
Among the Vitamin C rich
foods that aie abundant in most
markets now are small juice
orang, s, cabbage and turnips.
Cabbage and turnips lose much
of the Vitamin C when cooked.
Use them as cabbage slaw and
raw turnip slices.
Another good way of getting
Vitamin C in winter meals is to
used canned or frozn orange,
grapefruit or tomato juice. Fozen
strawberries are another delight
ful way of getting Vitamin C.
This is the time of the year
when homemakers are looking for
fruits that will give variety in
meals.
One of the answers is the
pl-, ntiful supply of pears. These
pears will give pleasing variety
when used as a fresh fruit for
dessert, or in salad, or as baked
pears.
