Pastures Divided Into
Units Give Satisfaction

Large pastures divided into
smaller enclosed areas and grazed
in rotation will be better for both
the pastures and the COWS, accord
ing to Leonard Hegnauer, extension
agronomist, Washington State Col
lege.
It is extremely important that a
part of the grazing area be allowed
to rest while another part is being
used by livestock Thus both better
feed and more feed will be pro-
duced.
The size of the individual pas
ture unit is dictated by the size of
the herd Some pastures are di-
vided by some natural obstruction
into suitable smaller units. In
others divisions must be made
either by cross fences, line fences
or both. Usually cross-fencing is
less expensive because there is less
danger of animals going from one
division to another.
Cattle never Craze any large area
uniformly. They Craze certain por-
tons much more heavily than
others. For that reason, some of
the grass and clover, if any are
present, will grow too tall and be-
come too nearly mature for the
animals to relish them, and so they
continue to pass them by. If the
stock is confined to a small area,
however, they will be forced to do
more uniform grazing. When they
have covered the area to the ex-
tent that feed is becoming too
scarce for their proper nourish-
ment then they should be moved
to the next unit, until each is
grazed in it's turn, with sufficient
intervening time to allow pasture
recovery.

Graded Eggs Are
Protection To Buyer

Buying eggs is no longer a hit
and-1niss proposition, and the
housewife of today can order a
dozen eggs of a specified grade and
size and be assured of getting just
what she orders.
Egg grading laws now in effect
proyide that all eggs, if sold legally,
must be sold on grade, says w. D.
Buchanan, extension poultryman
at the state college. This makes it
possible for the purchaser to know
exactly what he is getting.
Grade @ eggs must have a clean
sound shell, with an air cell no
greater than three eighths of an
inch in depth. The grade G egg
is good wholesome food, but not
highly palatable if fried, boiled or
poached.
Grade B eggs are better than
grade G, but are not quite as good
as grade A. The shell is clean and
sound, and the air cell may be al
most as large as in grade @. The
white must be reasonably firm, bus
the yolk may be slightly mobile.
The egg will not do to poaca, but
may be fried or boiled.
The particular housewife will
order grade A eggs. The shells of
these eggs are always clean and
sound and the air cell is not over
one-fourth of an inch in depth.
The yolk of a grade A egg is straw
colored or slightly darker, but Is
never blood red. The white is firm
and clear, although it may have
a greenish tinge without injurlng
the egg in any way.
In all the grades there may be
several sizes-large, medium or
small. If big eggs are desired, the
consumer should specify grade A.,
grade B or grade G large. The price
for grade A mediums may range
from one to two cents a dozen be-
low grade A large, and the price
for grade A slnall-eggs that weigh
about II ounces to the dozen,
should be at least six. cents a dozen
less than the price paid for grade
A large when the price of grade
A large is 80 cents a dozen or more.
The egg carton should show the
buyer whether he is getting grade
A, B or G eggs, and whether the
eggs are large. medium or small.
A dozen large eggs should Welgh
"a ounces: a dozen medium eggs
should weigh 20.5 ounces.

Strawberry Root Weevil
Continued from page y

about the roots of the strawberry
plants. In the spring, April and
May, the grubs pupate and change
over to adult weevils. The adult
Weevils begin to appear at prac-
tically the same time that the har-
vesting of the berry crop takes
place Egg laying takes place in the
summer The seasonal history is
sometimes complicated by the fact
that some of the adult weeWils
overwinter, coming out early in the
spring and laying a few eggs.
The weevils may be controlled by
the poison bran bait formula as
follows:
pounds bran; pint molasses
or pound sugar; ounces poison;
2 quarts water.
The results of laboratory expert
ments have shown that 100 per
cent kill was obtained with each
of the following poisons:
Zinc arsenate, calcium arsenate,
sodium fouMde, magnesium arsen-
ate, and sodium fluisilicate.
The bait is best applied to the
strawberry plants by placing be-
tween a teaspoonful and table
spoonful to each hill directly in the
crown of the plant. Care should be
taken that none of the poison
touches the fruit. The method OF
applying the bait to the crown of
the plant is more economical and
slightly more effective than broad
casting it along the rows, and In
sures an even distribution over the
entire field. The plants should be
irrigated about three days after
the application.
Other control methods are SUM-
married.:
1. Grow strong varieties of
strawberry.
2. Allow poultry to run in the
patches after harvest.
8. Trap adults under piles OF
straw, boards, or on sticky shields.
q. Spray with arsenate of lead,
2 pounds of the powder to 100 gall
Ions of water, as soon as the first
crop is harvested and while the
weevils are abundant
5. Clean up and burn old leaves
and refuse in the field.
6. The eggs may be destroyed
by blowing up old patches during
the month of August and fair
control may be obtained by late
fall blowing.
Z. Renew plants the middle OF
the second summer using one-year
crops instead of two.
