Just as Easter is now variable date, so has 1t
a variable meaning to many different people To
the child, who cannot grasp its religious sig
nifcance, 1t means day whose symbols are rab-
bits, little chickens and Easter eggs. To those
children, too, who like to think Of any festival
time in terms Of something good to eat, Easter
time means candy eggs, candy rabbits and other
candy symbols Of the day, not to mention those
fragrant, sugary piles Of the mystically marked
CONNECTION, known as hot cross buns.
How did bakery product come to be asso-
ciated with Easter anyway? 1t goes back to the
days Of the ancient Saxons who worshipped
Easter as goddess of the dawn and benign giver
of new life with the coming of the vernal eQui-
nox. That was long before they had ever heard
Of Christianity and the Resurrection. In their
Joy at the return of new life in the springtime
they brought the Easter goddess their sweetest
cakes. at the same time eating great numbers Of
them themselves.
They chung to this custom even after they had
embraced Christianity. Some of the early Chris
tian leaders were bit dubious of preserving
such a relic of a heather religion but some toll
Grant person who was also genius for COM
promise, suggested to the priests that they bless
the pagan cakes, marking them with the cross.
Thus the Saxon Easter biscuit was made At for

1T is not necessary to give-in

feels a headache coming on at any

Aspirin and heads it off.
Keep Bayer Aspirin handy, and

in 664 A. d. after which the clergy of the British
Isles conformed to the general practice of the
western church.
Accordingly Easter is now observed by both
the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches on
the first Sunday after the full moon Cor four
teenth day of the moon) on or next after March
81 So it cannot be earlier than March % nor
later than April Is. Thus it is possible for the
astronomers and mathematician to tell in adj
vance on what dates Easter will come each year,
and they are now known for more than a century
In advance.
That, of course, is based upon the assumption
that our calendar will continue unchanged But
there is a possibility that some time within the
next few years a new calendar system will be
adopted and in that case Easter Sunday will be
a fixed date instead Of a variable one.
So, in case you're interested in knowing what
will be the Easter dates for the next few years,

Last year it came on April and next
year it win come on April 16. For

Easter is the most variable. The only
thing certain about it is that 1t al

loss from rabbit infestation. A few
years ago the bureau of biological
survey did some definite work on
summer and fall poisoning of rab-
bits. AS the result of this two
formulas were recommended and
have been continued in use to the
present time. One of these formu-
las is simply the mixing of one
ounces of powdered strychnine ak
aloid to is ounces of common table
salt. This is then put out in holes
bored in 2x4 blocks. The other
formula is little more complicat-
ed but is not difficult to prepare.
It includes strychnine, saaccha-
rine, karo corn syrup and water.
Into this is dipped fresh alfalfa
which is then wrung out as dry as
possible and this then distributed
around the edge of the field.
In using either bait care must
be taken of course, that sheep are
not going to range over the area
in the near future.
Any one wishing further infor-
nation or detailed information on
preparation on bats may write to
the county agent.

IMPROVE HAY GRADES

The meetings of the county on
the discussion and Improvement of
hay grades are to be held the aft
ernoon Of November Is and the
forenoon of November Is. These
meetings will be held under the d.
rection of the Extension Service
with d. D.. Hill of the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics to assist
in the conducting of these meet
ings.
One of the very important things
that we want to get before the
farmers of the country is the need
of each farmer attending, of his
bringing to the meeting a repre-
sentative sample Of the hay which
ne has produced on his farm. No
farmer should feel backward about
bring these hay samples because
they may not be of the best grade
because if the meeting is going
to. be worth while to the farmer
we must have samples of hay of
all grades and there are often some
things which come up which inter-
fere with the rapid curing of the
hog and consequently the produc-
ton of the best quality.
Next weeks paper will carry
specific information as to location
of each meeting and the date Of it.
Please watch for this notice.

HAY MEETINGS

The Yakima valley is not pro-
ducing the grade of hay that it
should nor that it is capable of
producing. There is much criticism
from hay purchasing sections
against the hay produced in this
general area. This does not mean
that there are not individual hay
producers who are producing a
good grade of hay, but there is
entirely too much off grade hey
produced here which is prejudic-
ing growers against purchase of
hay from this area.
Because of the above facts three
hay producing and grading meet
ings have been arranged for the
county. The schedule for these
meetings is as follows.
Tuesday afternoon, November
18th, 2 pm, Kennewick This
meeting will be held at the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms after
which adjournment will be made to
warehouse where hay grades. can
be studied.
Wednesday morning, November
is, $50, Anderson hall, White
Bluffe Following this meeting
adjournment will also be made to
a place where hay grades may be
better studied.
Wednesday afternoon, Novem-
Der 10Th, at 2 pm, Community
Club rooms, ProsserIt may be
that at this meeting hay will be
brought to the community club
rooms or If not adjournment will
be made to a ploce where grades
may be more carefully studied.
Whether adjournment is to be
made to some other place or not
we are particularly anxious to have
every farmer attending the meet
ing, if he is grower of alfalfa,
to bring to this meeting fair
sample of the hay produced on the
farm. Bring this in so that you
may check with Mr.. Hill Of the
Bureau of Agriculture Economics,
who is working with hays all Of
the time and who may assist you
in producing better grade of hay
in the future. Good hay should be
produced where ever possible even
if it is to be fed on the farm.
We would like to have the hay
growers from over the entire coun-
ty, check the dates and places Of
these meetings and try to attend
at least one meeting. We are sure
that you will feel well repaid for
the time spent.

LEsPEDZA

s
Due to an article in the Country
Gentlemen last spring we had a
number of inquiries as to wheth-
err Lespedza might not be good
crop in this section. Early during
the summer we secured some seed
of one of the more common Les
pedzas and it was turned over to
Mr.. Kennett. living just north of
Kennewick. This was planted in
the garden in rows by Mrs. Ken
nett, where it had every advantage
of cultivation and water as far as
this season was concerned. A few
days ago the farm was visited and
samples of the Lespedza taken
from the rows. The growth repre-
SCENTS the entire season growth, it
never having been cut and yet it
was very satisfactory from al
most any standpoint. The Lesped-
"a which was written Of in the
Country Gentlemen, however, was
a different strain. This one how
ever, was not available this year
as far as seed was concerned, at
least we understood not without
paying a high price per ounce for
the seed. Some reports making
this as high as $500. It is prob
able that in 8 or years the seed
will be available in quantities so
that It might be bought as reason
able prices when this particular
strain might be given trial.
For those who feel that we need
something to take the place Of al
falfa because of difficulties in the
growing Of this crop that some
are experiencing, we would sug-
gest q careful rotation and the use
of 500 pounds of super phosphate
per acre just proceeding the seed
ing to alfalfa. In very few in
stances have we found any cases
where these practices have not
been responsible for big yields.
