Continuous Process for Peach Flavor
Extraction Developed by USDA
Continuous process for produc
ing a peach puree concentrate
and a frozen peach nectar concen
trate has been developed through
icsearch at the U S. Department
ol Agriculture’s Eastern Utiliza
tion Research and Development
Division, Philadelphia
In this piocess the volatile
flavors that normally would be
lost m processing the fruit are
iccovered, and the products have
excellent natural fruit flavor.
They also retain good color, due
to rapid inactivation of browing
enzymes early in processing. This
Unbalanced Ration May
Cause Swine Edema
Unbalanced ration has been ad
vanced. as the principal cause of
edemadisease in swine, according
to a report in the Journal of the
American Vetermaiy Medical As
sociation
Thrifty pigs, 6 to 16 weeks old,
developed the disease symptoms
after having been fed wheats
wheat bran, rye bran or leftovers
of bread Some were also nursing,
the report said '
Twenty-foui to 48 hours after
the diet change, they showed diar
rhea followed by inability to co
ordinate, progressive paralysis
and swelling of the eyelids None
of the animals showed any loss of
appetite and temperatures- re
mained normal or slightly subnor
mal. Affected pigs died a few*
hours after paralysis began
Symptoms are similar to those
for infectious gastioententis,
although Edema disease is not
transmissable between animals
Some consider it to be an entero
toxemia Apparently veterinary
authorities said, the condition is
a metabolic disease
When such symptoms appear in
pigs, the veterinary Association
suggested, a veterinarian should'
be consulted to determine the ex
act cause of the symptoms and
prescribe treatment

ybuTl find that Babcock
Bessies combine these ten fac

as chicks and as layers 2
High rate of lav 3 Large early
egg si/e Also nice uniform
size eggs 4 Chalk white shells
5 Peisistency Lay heavily for
12 to 15 months Also good

freedom from cannibalism if
properly managed 7 Easy
birds to handle 8 Good shells
and interior egg quality 9
Just the right size bird to give
vou good feed conversion and
vet give you a big egg without
getting all tired out doing it,

research on peaches followed
woik on methods of' preserving
the flavor essences of slrawber
nes, grapes, apples and other
fi nits
Ice-cream manufacturers are
especially interested in the peach
puree concentrate Because peach
flavor is so delicate, it is difficult
to make a full flavored ice cream
using only the fresh or frozen
‘fruit
Nelson Eiscnhardt and his co
workers of the Philadelphia lab
oratory aie reporting on the
new process at the annual meet
ing of the Institute of Food Tech
nologists th>s week in Pitfsb&rgh.
The process is not yet in commer
cial use.
Peach concentrates are made
pureeing the peaches and inacti
vating the browing enzymes by a
high-speed heat treatment. Next
the juice and pulp are separated,
and the pulp is held for later use.
In a flavor-essence recovery unit
the volatile flavors are recovered
from the juice and, simultane
ously, the jjuce is concentrated
Finally the nuln and essence aie
blended with the juice concenl
late, and the product is homogen
ized For best flavor and color in
tention, the four-fold beverage
nectar concentrate and. the seven
fold puree concentrate should be,
kept in frozen storage

Trip* 'T# 1
Offered Stale Youths
Pennsylvania’s tree fanners of
tomorrow are competing for one
of 12 expense-paid trips to the
36th National 4-H Club Congress
in Chicago which are being offer
ed by wood-using industries to 4-
H forestry project winners.
The awards are being furnish
ed by American Forest Products
Industries, Inc., the national Tree
Farm sponsor, and were announc
ed today by E. 0. Ehrhait, chair
man of the Pennsylvania Forest
Industries Committee, state re
presentative of AFPI.
In addition to the expense
paid trips, four for U. S.'sectional
wmners and eight lor national
winners at large, the awards in
clude gold-filled medals to county
winners -and a pen-and-pencil set
to the state winner, Ehrhart said.
Purposes of the program are de
velop an appreciation of forest
resources, to acquaint future
landowners with the value of well
managed woodlots, and to pro
mote protection from grazing and
forest fires.
Last year, Ehrhart said, 221,777
boys and girls received training
m 4-H forestry and 63,328 in 45
states competed _ for national
awards More than 460,000 farm
acres were invdlved--more than
in any other 4H project.
To participate in theprogram,
a 4-II member must take an active
cart in a forestiy project. The
state extension serytee, county
extension offices and local 4H
Club leaders are providmg detail

Production*AlldM*' ' > '
Of March Figure; Below Year Ago o
HARRISBURG In prepara
tion for peak production before
and during June Dairy Month,
Pennsylvania dairy cows came
through with increased output of
milk during April as they-sifted
from low quality dry feed to lush
pastures, the State Department of
Agriculture announced today, .
Ci op Reporting Seivice surveys
showed Apul milk production .
from an average of 951,000 milk
cows totaled 580 million pounds.
This was 13 million pounds more
than in March, but 10 million
pounds below the milk output for
April of last year The State pro
duction mark was two per cent
above the previous month while
the national"output advanced only
one per cent.
In Pennsylvania herds,
milk production increased sharp
ly, the survey showed. In the
northern and western counties
pastures ,were not ready for graz
ing and the effects of poor quality
in last year’s hay were evident in
the northwestern and central
areas. The condition of pastures
omVlay 1 was 91 per cent of nor
mal, five points above a year
previous.
Milk-"production I'-r the first
four months of this year was more,
than two billion pounds, three
per cent under the 1956 produc
tion for the same three months
Heavy rainfall the first 10 days
•of April in most of the State help
ed vegetatioh'growth, but slowed
down field work, the survey re
port showed. Piecipitation for the
remainder of the month was well
below average, enabling farmers
to plant oats and plow for corn
seeding.
Although pastures greened
quickly because of the warm
weather, farmers still were faced
with an onslaught of spittlebugs
and "alfalfa weevil. Most farmed'
were kept busy in late April
spraying for these pests.
Quality of 1956 hay still on
farms was low, the report stated,
and some, of it was being sold for
bedding or mulch. Holdings were
estimated at about 40 per cent
above a year earlier and 31 per
cent above average.
