The report describes* methods' of financing such facili ties , Large firms that occupy entire buildings in the wholesale food market can own and operate the buildings they use But facilities for other operators must be pro vided by other types of ownership and financing, the reports states.

New Antioxidant Helps Mushrooms Keep Color A new, cheap mushroom anti oxidant a chemical that pre vents discoloration has been developed through the Umveisity of Missouri’s horticulture depart ment’s research program, says Robert N. Goodman, associate professor of horticulture. The new antioxidant can reduce costs in treating mush rooms to prevent discoloration at a 12 to one ratio, Goodman says it also eliminates one washing ooeration in preparing mush rooms for market and this fur ther reduces costs. Several different standard anti oxidants were used in the re search project and by far the best results were obtained with sod ium bisulfite and common table salt both relatively cheap items Mushrooms left in the anti oxidant solution IV2 minutes are adequately treated and the risk of discoloration is decidely re duced The fact that mushrooms dis color naturally with time is one of the major troubles growers en counter in marketing their prod uct as a fresh item. Therefore, Goodman says any appreciable de lay in the discoloration process would lengthen the time that the mushioom remains acceptable to the consumer. Since the mushroom is a deli cate plant structure it is subject to bruising during cutting, grad ing, and packing- operations. Bruised areas darken rapidly and huit mushroom quality and ap pearance. ■ ■ ■ Mushrooms frequently “set” be neath the casing soil and, as a result, need washing However, mushrooms immediately begin to discolor when washed in water. Thus, mushroom oxidation oc- naturally with time, upon bruising, and from washing. It’s evident that an' efficient antioxi dant treatment would improve die product and benefit the in dustry The use of antioxidants in pro cessing fresh, dried, frozen, and canned foods is a long-standing practice, Goodman says. The housewife who cans or freezes peaches knowi that an antioxi dant, such as ascorbic acid, will mpiove her product. There is nothing mysterious about this practice and a relative y large number of chemicals can irovide the desired effect. The problem has been finding the most l uactical and inexpensive treat ment glass so that the crop may be planted early to ease the work load during potato plant ing time. He started planting May 15. (LF Photo) Bloat Can Be Avoided Through Management Most bloat trouble among cows can be avoided, according to extension dairyman Frank Wright of'Rutgers University, by Mowing these relatively simple management practices Change from barn feeding to pasture gradually; never turn hungry cows into legume pas tures—give them all the dry roughage they want first; have hay available in hay racks out on. the-pasture; and keep cows off legume pastures at night and following a warm rain or heavy dew. If bloat does occur, Wright ad vises that the veterinarian be called immediately because this affliction can be a serious and fast killer of cattle.
