New Grade of Eggs
Soon, you may be buying eggs
with a new USDA grade marking,.
1t will be “Fresh Fancy Quality”
enclosed in the USDA grade
shield. This is" @ new quality
designation that identifies eggs
produced and marketed under
controlled conditions and that
meet high standards of quality. To
qualify, eggs must be laid by
flocks of uniform age, must be
cooled immediately after laying
and kept at a specified tempera
ture and humidity setting. Prompt
handling is also required. This
new designation will be used in
addition to the familiar U. S,
Grade AA and A for high quality
eges.
‘ Producing Quality Eggs
. If you wish to produce quality
éggs which will bring top prices
and make consumers happy, here
are some suggestions to follow:
* To produce clean eggs:
-1. Have nesting facilities ready
before pullets begin to lay.
" 2. Provide one nest for every
four hens.
3. Keep nests clean. .
4, Keep litter on poultry house
floor dry.
© 5. Gather eggs at least four
times per day (In extremely hot
or cold weather, gather five or
six times daily.)
6. Remove hens from nests at
night.
7. Debeak birds.
8. Place watering founts or
troughs over drains or wire plat
form.
9. Wash your hands before
gathering eggs.
' For preserving the interior
quality of eggs:
1. Gather eggs at least four
times per day. (Five or six times
if weather«is extremely hot or
cold.)
2. Separate clean and dirty eggs
as they are gathered.
3. Store in cooling room as soon
as possible,

ing in cool room.

l Watersheds i
) “Watershed” is a new term to
[many people. The development o"ft
soil and water conservation and
flood prevention in watersheds is‘
‘making the word much more|
common. It’s definition is very!
simple, .
\ When you were a small child,’
|you probably had a favorite mud |
puddle in which you liked to play. !
The part of the yard from which |
the water drained into the puddle
was ite watershed. §
Small and medium-sized water-i
sheds make yp the larger ones.|
The Mississippi River, for ex-i
ample, drains a watershed of‘
tabout 1,234,000 square miles. That’
watershed is made up of thou
sands of smaller ones. i
| Why is the watershed impor-!
tant? Water may be a friend or it[
imay be an enemy, If it runs offl
the land too fast it cuts gullies
'a.nd carries off topsoil which
should be kept on the farm tos
’produce our food and clothing.!
‘The soil and debris which the
‘water carried into streams and
llakes may spoil fishing. 1t may
;reduce the amount of water the!
stream or lake can hold and thus!
‘decrease the water supply for|
'your town. Such sediment carried |
downstream by runaway water|
}may greatly increase the cost of{
cleaning and filtering the water|
! you use from your kitchen faucet. |
It can interfere with the hydro
‘electric plant which produces
‘your electricity. [
1 If too much water runs awayl
too rapidly, it causes a flood |
which damages farms, ranches,’
crops, property, homes, highways,l
and utilities. Choking of stream‘
channels with sediment makes|
floods more serious because the|
stuffed-up stream bed can’t cax‘x'y|
as much water. Sediment deposit-]
ed in reservoirs after heavy rains
reduces the amount of water that
can be stored for use.
But water can be slowed down
and used to better advantage
when soil and water conservation
methods and other flood-preven
tion measures are put into effect
all over a watershed. Terraces,
stripcropping, more grass and
legumes in crop rotation, im
proved pastures and other prac
tices make more water soak into |,
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
the soil for use by crops, pastures,
and range. Some of it later will
go into streams, lakes, or under
ground storage to be used in ether
ways. Improved irrigation systems
which waste less water leave more
for other irrigators to use and
help produce better crops. Thus,
more water is available for the
many uses people make of it, and
it is a friend instead of enemy.
A poor spirit is poorer than a
poor purse.—~—Horace

Although the guitar is gen
erally regarded in our part of
the country as being pretty
much restricted to the rural
music scene, it is in actuality,
a more universally accepted in
strument than you would at
first suspect.
In Spain, Mexico—in fact, all
the Spanish-speaking countries |
—the guitar is highly popular. |
Swing and rock ’n roll bands i
find steady employment for |
this versatile instrument. }
If we were to poke back into ‘
the dusty pages of history, we ‘
would find that music greats
such as Schubert and Scarlatti
had considerable liking and re
spect for the guitar. Berloiz
taught guitar for many years
and Beethoven composed cred
itable works for the -classic
guitar.
With all respect to the guitar,
we would like to devote a few
words to one of the most cher- ‘
ished instruments of all time—
the piano. You will find your |
favorite brand at DUBLIN !
PIANO C 0.,, 117 S. Jefferson
St. including such respected ‘
favorites at Lester Betsy Ross, ‘
Cable and Baldwin. What's |
more, we have a nice selection
of used and rebuilt pianos in
tip-top condition and priced to
go. See them gll at DUBLIN
