District Director Arthur J. Krauss, was quoted as saying, “The critical situatioin on tires and gasoline has made the order necessary.” The release says also that each car must carry three riders beside the driver, and that htere must be a positive agree ment with each rider for the plan before gasoline can be had in addition to the regulation A card. Order Seems Unreasonable In Some Instances We find by inquiry that it is sometimes very difficult to get riders who live in the same com munity and wish to go to the plants at the same time as the car owner.

Attendance a: Race Tracks Show No Decrease in Car Owners Upon receipt of the above re lease, being naturally given to asking leading questions, we tele phone Mr. Krauss and he tells us that while there has been a crew of workers delegated to check cars which are driven to Longacres track, and report ap parent violations of regulations, no noticeable reduction has been made in attendance there. We also questioned the flocks of gaso line driven pleasure boats that are to be seen on the waters of the state, obviously burning gasoline for pleasure and nothing else. Mr. Krauss tells us that his orders _come from higher up, and that he is powerless to stop these situ~ ations. A Violators are Being Reported In fairness to the CPA it should be said that more than 1900 motor ists have been reported to their local boards as having attended the races two or more days, and in addition 410 out-of-state cars have been reported together with what seems to be other violations. Just what action is taken. regard ing these motorists rests with the local boards who have the power to withdraw» gasoline rations. The net result however is, up to this time, negligible insofar as totals are concerned. The races go merrily on and many cars are in evidence. General Fund of State Shows Healthy Balance Financial condition of the state of Washington is perhaps better than any other state of like pop ulation in the nation, which may have something to do with the vote of confidence given Governor Langlie at the primary election. The general fund balance at this time is approximately forty-one million dollars, a gain of some thirteen million dollars in the past year. Total balance in all funds is now near the seventy-four million dollar mark. This may be a good place to say that the na tional debt now is more 'than $1,600 for every person in the nation regardless of rage.

BOLON Home Demonstrétion Agent Music for Peach Canning To keep peaches from turning dark and unattractive, drop peeled and sliced peaches at once into one gallon of water containing two tablespoons salt and two' of vine gar. Another important feature of peach canning is choose sound, ripe, firm peaches, “It’s dangerous to use any with .'decayed spots, because even if you try to cut out all bad spots, some- bacteria may lurk to spoil the rest of the fruit.” The boiling water bath method is most satisfacory for canning peaches— oven-canned peaches often turn dark and have a greater tendency to spoil. Work with only enough for one canner load at a time. Wash peaches well, lift out of water. Don’t bruise. For easy peeling, dip in boiling water a minute, then dip quickly into cold‘water. A wire basket or cheesecloth will hold the fruit. Next slip off skins; take out pits, cut in slices or halves - and drop into vinegar sollition. Drain when ready to coo . If fruit is juicy, add 'sugar half cup to each quart of uncooked; peaches. Heat to boiling in kettle‘ and pack in peach juice. For less‘ juicy fruit, drop into a boiling sirup. Heat fruit through, but don’t cook until soft. If you’re canning without sugar, cook fruit. in its on juice, or add just enough hot water to keep fruit from sticking to pan. Pack peaches into hot sterilized jars loosely, one at a time, leaving half. inch head space. Cover the peaches with boiling, liquid, still leaving the half inch head space. (It usually takes three-fourths to 1 cup of liquid to a quart jar.) Work out air bubbles by running a knife blade down the sides of the jar and add more liquid if necessary. Wipe jar rim and adjust lid according to direction for the type lid being used. Work rapidly, putting jars into canner as soon as filled. Check to see that water comes over tops. Put on lid to boiling Water bath canner. When water boils hard, count time, processing 20 minutes (add 1 minute for each 1000 feet above sea level). Remove " jars, adjust lids, if glass or zinc tops, and Set jars out to cool right side up, on thick cloth or paper. Keep them away from drafs or sudden cold, but don’t cover. Around 2 to 2 and one-half pounds of fresh peaches will yield one quart can ned. ‘ “Curly Top” is taking its vicious toll. of Benton county victory garden crops right now, accord ing- to Walter L. Click, county ex— tension agent. . Curly top—more scientifically known as Wester yellow blight— attacks beets, beans and vine crops like cucumbers and squash, but its worst ravages are on tomatoes. This virus disease gets into the sap of the plant, and “once it gets started, very little can be done about it." The curly top blight may be Costs Very Little Why not have a“ probation on you it...

The plants become stunted and occa sionally are killed outright. On tomatoes the veins of the leaves turn reddish. Although the disease is spread from plant to plant by the tiny sugar beet leaf hopper, neither spraying to control the insect nor removing diseased plants seems to help. Table beets and snap beans planted in mid-summer seem to escape curly top infec tion and produce good quality crops. ‘ With tomatoes, experi ments show that the less the roots are disturbed the less likely the plants are to become infected. Deep cultivation or hoeing near the plants, or the pulling of large weeds from the tomato rows should be avoided. For small gar dens, planting in the shade seems to prevent spread and develop ment of this disease, Click adds. Dad Gummit says the average man doesn’t have much trouble keeping the ten commandments.
