INDIANAPOLIS —UJ.PJ—Here’s a
garden tip for strawberry growers
Paul Ulman, the Indianapolis Star
garden editor, has a new method
to rid his strawberry patch of crab
grass. Just turn loose a couple of
geese In your patch and they'll eat
the pesky ciab grass clean—leaving
the strawberry plants untouched.
Ulman Is going on a theory ex-
pounded by the state entomologist
that geese will do this. He adds. If
It doesn’t work, however, he'll have

Egg and Fruit
Production Up
PAWHUSKA, May 3—(U.fit— The
fruit trees and poultry on the W. H. j
Ward premises, just east of Paw-
4J huska. have been “reading" the'
papers or "listening” to radio ap-
peals for more food to avert further
• famine in foreign countries—for the i
Wards report double production by
the hens and a pear tree.
The Wards admitted they had j
been talking, to themselves, how-
ever, about the serious food situa-
tion in some foreign lands, but deny
they’ve tried to pass ulong the word
to their chickens or their fruit tree.
Nevertheless, the hens are lay-
ing "king" size eggs at Ward's place
and the old pear tree already pro-
duced two crops of rult last year
and was weU on the way to a third
when the October freeze "nipped" it. |
The White Leghorn hens, wliich
the Wards started with only 10
montlis ago, have been laying un-
usually large eggs, "and at full pro-
duction,” Ward reported. "Tliose
hens have been at top speed und ac-
tually some days they do more than
u single day’s work for a hen.”
One of the largest of the "king”
. size eggs, being gathered by the
U Warns, measured six Indies In cir-
cumference on the width and seven
and three-fourth inches on the
length.
Also, Ward said, the eggs, de-
spite their huge size, have only one
yolk. "One of our hen's eggs is
equal to about two and half times
a normal size egg when Its broken
in a frying pan," he aald.
Back to the pear tree. Ward said,
"Our tree Is now far ahead of alf
the other trees In the neighborhood
toward making u crop. Fin expecting
at least two tills year and might get
the third if things work out right."
Army Bakeries Forecast

CHICAGO. May 3— (U R) —The

timates thut army bakeries will

four an u half Inches wide.
Colonel E. D. Ellis, del Kit com-
mander. said thut use of 60 percem
extraction wheat by army bakers

cleaned gruin wlnat by the end ot
•he year. That's enough wheat to
make 22.000.000 one-pound loaves.
