THE RUSK CHEROKEEAN, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1948
Weed Killers Kill
Other Things Too
The weed killer 2, 4-D will also
kill your tomatoes, cucumbers,
cotton, sweet potatoes, peas,
beans, fruit trees, ornamentals,
and some field crops if you're not
careful in using it, according to
County Agent C. Metz Heald.
Last year cotton in several
points along the gulf coast was
injured when 2, 4-D dust drifted
in from nearby rice fields. In
many cases cotton has been
planted right alongside rice.
When the rice is sprayed with 2,
4-lD, the wind carries it on over
It is not a good idea to use 2,
4-D in the dust form because it
may drift several miles onto field
crops or gardens.
If a good strong wind i" blow-
ing, even the spray form is dan-
gerous.
Be sure your equipment is in
good condition before you stai t.
Use a separate sprayer for 2,
4-D; it is hard to thoroughly
clean 2, 4-D out of a sprayer.
Pressures below 75 pounds per
square inch for your ground
sprayers, and the nozzles produc-
ing coarse sprays are the best.
Esters evaporate quicker than
other forms of 2, 4-D. These

The chemical 2, 4-D should not
be stored in buildings where
seeds, fertilizers or insecticides
are handled because there is a
very good chance the 2, 4-D will
ruin it.
Mr. Heald, has issued the fol-
lowing warnings on the use of
2 4-D:
Ask for it by name..

Talk it over with your county
agent or other men who know
about the best times to use 2,
4-D. Don't overdose your crqps.
FOOD VALUE OF EGGS
Eggs are graded according to
quality and size, not food value,
F. Z. Beanblossom, extension
poultry marketing specialist of
Texas A. & M. College reminds
housewives and others who are
making the most of the plentiful
supplies now on the market. Re-
gardless of its grade or quality,
an egg is one of nature's best
packages of food value. Inside
that shell is found high quality
protein, iron, vitamin A, two of
the B vitamins and some vitamin
D.

! itey grades — AA or A — has a
! large amount of firm white and
a round, upstanding yolk. Eggs
of these grades are preferred for
poaching, frying and boiling in the
shell. Grade B eggs have thinner
whites and somewhat flatter
yolks, but arc just as good for
scrambling, baking and other
cooking purposes.
Many families find it pays to
buy grade B eggs for general
cooking because they offer the
same food value, yet may cost 10
to 12 cents a dozen less than
grade A quality eggs of the same
weight.
At any rate, Mr. Beanblossom
says, it pays to read the label on
the carton of eggs and figure the
cost in relation to the grade,
which means the quality and size.
The purpose for which eggs are
to be used will have an influence
on the grade to be bought.
TIME TO STORE WOOLENS
These warm spring days mean
warm weather is not too far away,
and it's time to store the woolen
articles for the summer. Most
housewives are especially interest-
ed in taking the best possible care
of their blankets.
Mrs. Bernice Claytor, extension
home management specialist of
Texas A. & M. College, says that
blankets should be carefully clean-
ed so they will keep their light,
soft fluffiness. And storing woolen
blankets is an important job—it
must be done corectly so there is
no risk of moths and dust.
Good care of blankets means
several things. Keep them clean,
light and fluffy. Repair the frayeti
or ripped edges and darn the holes
and thin spots. Protect them
against moths, and wash and store
them properly. They will give you
extra years of service if treated
gently.
Moths cannot live in freshly
laundered blankets, so for that
reason alone, it is important that
they be clean before they are
stored.
Lukewarm water, plenty of
suds and three rinsings in clear
water will lengthen the life of the
blanket. Hang it in the shade to
dry, and remember it will dry
much more quickly if hung over
two lines about a foot apart.
Leaflet L-53, "Care of Woolen
Blankets" gives instructions on
cleaning and storing blankets.
