Keith Thompson was present
during a portion of the discussion
with the surveyor, and indicated
that during the summer months
it would probably necessitate
calls nearly every day to advise
the surveyor about resurfacing,

hardship for Mr Dewey and his
staff to be on several road
locations at the sam e time

pulling tansy throughout the
county at no cost other than the
gasioine required for transpor
tation The Board indicated it
would refer his offer to Art
McKay. the weed control officer
for possible action
Mr Hinkle also questioned a
county road milepost sign on the
road leading into Panorama
Terrace and whether this road
had actually been accepted by
(he county After discussion with

and Mr Thompson stated he
would have the sign moved to the
portion of the road actually ac
cepted

carried
Surveyor Phil Dewey met with
the board and Mr Hunnicutt to
discuss procedure for him to bill
the county for the posting in the
various road records of vacated
roads, and accepted roads He
indicated the statutory require
men! is that he be paid the sum
of $3 for the posting of vacations,
and quest lowed whose respon
sibility it was to see that he
receives certified copies of road
vacations and the fee for the
postings Mr Hunnicutt was re
quested to research the statutes
on this subject. and to prepare a
recommended procedure to be
followed
Also discussed was the matter
of whose responsibility it was for
the numbering of new roads into
the county system Discussion
revealed that apparently no one
has done any road numbering
since Frank Patton was road
master, and it was not clear who
was to do this whether it be the
roadmaster the clerk the sur
veyor or the responsibility of the
Board Mr Hunnicutt was also
requested to research this
problem and advise the Board
Mr Dewey then commented
that the statutes required that he
be notified whenever the road
department plans to blacktop or
otherwise resurface any county
roads, so that he can make
arrangements to locate survey-
information in order that it not
be lost by the resurfacing He
also noted that in many in
stances survey markers had
been pulled out when roads are
graded, and this necessitated
relocation of the markers, at
som etim es considerable expen
se Commissioner Minkoff ad
vised he would relay this in
formation to Mr Hollinger

Food For Later
C a ro l A. A s h le y
E x te n s io n A g e n t
The Oregon State University
Extension Service again recom
mends the addition of lemon
juice or vinegar to tomatoes
being canned at home It should
be added at the time salt is
added to the tomatoes The pre
ferred amount is 2 teaspoons of
lemon juice or vinegar per quart
of tomatoes
Q Why is it necessary to add
vinegar of lemon juice to to
m atoes’’
A. Tomatoes fall within the
category of food safe to process
in a boiling water canner but
they are the lowest acid of these
fruits Tomatoes are considered
to be an acid food but in
dividually tomatoes vary con
siderably in pH Some actually
fall in the pH range usually
labeled low acid The growing
conditions, the variety and de
gree of ripeness all influence the
acidity
Use of over ripe tomatoes,
which tend to be lower in acid, is
a common practice in home can
ning
Addition of vinegar or lemon
juice decreases the likelihood of
flat sour spoilage It also el
iminates the unlikely, though
ible incidence of botulism
first case of botulism due to
eating home canned tomatoes
was recently reported in Ala
bama
Q Do you have a list of tomato
vanties for which it isn't nec
essary to add lemon juice or
vinegar’’
A No Tomatoes from the sam e
patch and even tomatoes on the
sam e vine vary in their acidity
depending on growing conditions
and ripeness Therefore, the ad
dition of lemon juice or vinegar
is recommended for all tomato
varieties.
Q My canned tomatoes with
lemon juice added seem to taste
so sour What can I do?
A First of all. be sure to m eas
ure the two teaspoons of lemon
juice or vinegar Estimation
using the dump method often
results in too much being added
In experiments done at the
University of California, lemon
juice or vinegar were found to
highlight the natural tomato
flavor
Q Can I can green beans and
corn in a boiling water bath if I
add two teaspoons of lemon juice
like I do for tom atoes’’
A No Green beans and corn are
low acid foods A large amount
of lemon juice or vinegar would
be needed Most people would
find this sour taste unpalatable.
For safety's sake it is recom
mended that all vegetables ex
cept tomatoes, be processed in a
pressure canner at 10 pounds
pressure for the proper time
Q My canned beans sealed,
but half the liquid boiled out
What did I do wrong” Are they
safe to use”
A If you followed correct
processing procedures using a
pressure canner the beans are
safe to use Fluctuating pressure
inside the pressure canner often
cause siphoning of liquid from
the jar If the pressure dropped
during the processing time the
beans may not be safe unless you
allowed extra time Try to con
trol the heat so as to hold the
pressure constant
Q I like to can some of my
foods in half pint jars Can I
process them in half the time for
pint ja rs”
A No If a specific time for a
half pint isn’t given, use the time
given for pint jars
