SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ.
Iere in the VESTS Most Western
Town." found these authentic Mexican
foods and borrowed the recipes for max
ing at home. 1t is Waldo Contreras and
his wife Emma who dish up this family
style fare in their Tico Taco Cafe which
feeds around 200 guests daily at eight
oilcloth-covered tables.
Six years ago when Waldo ContreraS
took a look at ScottSdale, II miles from
home town Phoenix, he saw boom days
ahead. The town had been there since
1896 but things didn't begin to happen
until around 1850 when wealth and
sophistication set in.
Waldo ContreraS, with S35, ambition
and plenty of nerve started Mexican
sandwich stand, selling the taco along
with soft drinks. He bought a two
dollar, secondhand stove, added two
stools. Cups. Saucers, glasses and cook
ing utensils he carried from home. His
most expensive item was the making Of
a taco frying machine. The Mexican
sandwich, should explain, is thin
corn wafer called tortilla folded over a
meat filling then deep fat fried. AS it
comes hot from the fat the sandwich is
open just far enough to allow for Stuffing
in crisp crunch of shredded lettuce, a
sprinkle of grated cheese, splash of hot
sauce. And so to Servel

ordered seconds. Waldo and Emma
were up to their elbows in business.
Still today the place is little more than
shack plus shack, all built by Waldo.
He did the wiring, the plumbing; he
made the tables, the chairs and the
lamps. A humble place, but decidedly
western - the interior decorated with
the dried Spines Of the Saguaro cactus
trees. In recent years local artists have
been hanging their pictures here = and
for sale, of course!
WaIdo's Invention
The dark-eyed Emma in Mexican blouse
and full lowered skirt stands Stolidly
cooking, hour after hour. Her right
hand helper is a new miracle machine
designed and patented by her husband
for frying the tacos. Waldo told US this
machine is the only one Of its kind in
the world; built FerriS-wheel style.
Instead of seats the wheel has little
platforms for holding the tacos. On
each full turn the sandwiches pass
through a tank of hot peanut oil held
at correct frying temperature. The wheel
moves at the exact speed to bring the
tacoS forth crisp and golden. Up from
the fat; little more travel to drain
excess oil back into the tank. Aided
by this automatic cooker the four-by-
eight kitchen can turn out $50 tacoS
an hour.

Last year. HOG prices rose about
$4 from Easter to their peak. in
June, but it looks like the rise this
year will be closer to 50. There's
no sign of running out of hogs yet

Farmer intentions in Iowa are for

June through August. but this may
change with better hog prices.
BrOilers
Apparently, broiler demand has
been picking up just about as fast
as broiler supplies for the past six
weeks or so now. and little change
is in prospect. Virginia price aver
ages have not varied more than one
cent for six weeks, and there is no
great change in prospect for the
next week or so. There may be
fluctuations, however.
Watch eggs set. They leveled off
week before last for the first time
since December. but il may be
temporary.
Broiler prices in Virginia were
off little last week. averaging
about 81 cents. with Delmarva
down two cents to about 81 cents.
Egg prices probably are close to
bottom, as the spring flush OF pro-
duction levels out some. But don
look for any rise for a while In
fact. they may drop off little
after Easter. but then they should
fluctuate around present levels.
There are some indications on the
market of storage buying Storage
stocks are only about 40 per cent of

and far below average
Hay
If you have hay to sell. now is
the time to unload. Holding it over
will be risky. Long range forecasts
right so far this year-call for an
other season of good hay crops and
not enough drought to take the
excess.
