Questions & Answers

O what should use to polish
copper? i
A A common quick method of
shining copper or brass is to rub
) w;th hot vinegar or lemon juice
and salt. Care must be taken to
remove the solution promptly and
thoroughly for salt left on copper
NAV "eat" into the metal and
rouehen it.
A slower method is to polish
with whiting powder. Since cop
nor is a soft metal it scratches
easily and securing powder or
steel wool should not be used.

O. What causes off flavors in
canned tomatoes that are not
spoiled?
A. Several things might be the
answer. You may have tried to
prepare too many at one time on
hot day and flat sour may have
taken place before you canned
them. Or you may not have trim
med the core out carefully enough
and spoilage occurred around the
core because of incomplete pro-
cessing at this hard center.
Or, some overripe tomatoes in
which spoilage had started may
have been mixed into the jar.
) Or your processing may have
been insufficient.
These above are only some of
the things that could cause off
flavor. It would be difficult to
answer without seeing the pro-
duct and going through your pro-
cedure step by step for possible
errors.

eat for Vitamin B?

Week 5 Hot Spot

The weekly weather and crop
survey for the week ending Sat-
urday as released by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture shows
Weather
Temperatures averaged well
above normal for the period with
the nights especially warm.
Afternoon temperatures were high
during the first and latter por-
tons of the week, but moderated
somewhat during the mid-period
and over the weekend. Tenn
perature extremes ranged from a
high somewhat during the mid
period and over the weekend.
Temperature extremes ranged
from a high of 100 degrees at
Kennewick on Monday, May 26th
to 35 degrees at three stations
on several dates.
Showers became general over
the state after this Friday, but
amounts of precipitation were, for
the most part, light and cannot
be considered as definite break

Crops
Soil moisture conditions con-

land. Cloud and slightly lower
temperatures during the latter
part of the week, followed by
scattered rainfall, brought some
relief to crops. Grain and hay
production prospects have slowly
deterierated during May, with
considerable acreage SO far adj
vanced that poor yields are in
evitable and recovery not pos
sible should ample rainfall be re-
ceived soon. Favorable wealth

however, could make fair to good
crop yields on the larger number
of farms in the State.
Eastern Washington
High winds, coupled with high
temperatures, caused considerable
damage to crops in the lower
central portion of the State dur
ing week. Soil moisture was
further depleted. In the princi-
pal grain areas, scattered local
rainfall at the end Of the week
provided brief but inadequate re-
lief to grain crops. Top soils
are powder dry throughout the
Big Bend and a large portion OF
the Palouse country. In the CEN

ditions are generally good. Car
