Freezing Eggs in
Storage Lockers
Found Practical
Homemakers who have access to
frozen food lockers may store eggs
successfully in these lockers during
the heavy laying season for use when
egg prices are higher, according to
experiments carried out at the school
of home economics at Oregon State
college.
Commercial freezing of egg whites
and yolks has been practiced suc
cessfully for many years, but little
if any work has been done to adapt
the process to small-scale use in the
home. A successful procedure for
such small-scale freezing, as well as
experiments with the use of frozen
eggs in cooking, has been carried
out this winter by Gladys Hedlund,
graduate assistant, under the super
vision of Miss Agnes Kolshorn, as
sociate professor of foods and nu
trition. Egg yolks, particularly, require
treatment before putting in a frozen
locker, else they will be gummy and
difficult to use when removed from
storage. Miss Hedlund's experiments
showed that the addition of a small
amount of honey to the eggs before
freezing is the most effetive treat
ment, although salt, sugar, or corn
syrup may be used satisfactorily
for this same purpose.
Eggs for freezing must be clean
before breaking and need to be
handled, in a sanitary manner, as it
is important to keep bacterial con
tamination to the lowest possible
point. For that reason cracked eggs
are not recommended for use in
freezing, even though the eggs are
broken before being stored.
Yolks and whites may be frozen
together, although they are more
commonly separated for convenience
in later use. Miss Hedlund found
that the use of small dishes for sep
arating these is advisable as then
an occasional bad egg will not spoil
the large batch.
Whites can be placed immediately
in waxed cartons or jars and need
no treatment. Yolks are stirred
thoroughly and one tablespoon of
honey is added to every two cups of
yolk. One tablespoon of sugar or
one teaspoon of salt may be substi
tuted for honey.
Eight Lamb Shows
Set From May to July
A series of eight lamb shows in
as many counties have have been
arranged by H. A. Lindgren, ex
tension animal husbandman at Ore
gon State college, in cooperation
with county agents and local agri
cultural leaders in the various coun
ties. Sherman and Polk counties will
open this year's schedule with shows
at Moro and Monmouth on May 10.
Being the first in the Willamette
valley, the Monmouth show this year
is attracting particular interest, and
will have a number of added fea
tures. Next on the schedule is the
Lane county show at Junction City,
May 17, followed by the Linn show
at Scio May 24.
Marion county will hold its show
at Turner June 7, and Coos county's
will be at Myrtle Point June 24.
The Curry county show follows at
Gold Beach July 12, while the Baker
county show will be at Baker July
18.
ESTHER NIGHT SET
Regular meeting of Ruth chapter
32, Order of Eastern Star, will be
held tomorrow (Friday) evening,

Lawn Weed Spray
Method Described
Additional late information on the
method of controlling lawn weeds
with a Sinox-ammonium sulphate
solution is contained in a revised
circular of information, No. 240,
written by L. E. Harris, assistant
agronomist, and issued by the agri
cultural experiment station at Ore
gon State college.
Though experiments are still in
progress to perfect the method fur
ther, excellent results are being had
under the method as described in
the new circular. This chemical
treatment is most successful on old
established lawns, although it may
be used on new lawns if care and
judgment are used in reducing the
strength of the solutions so as to
prevent injury to the grass seedlings.
The success of this method of
lawn weed eradication depends in
part on the condition of the lawn,
says Harris. A lawn that has a
dense grass cover will respond to
the treatment better than one in
which weeds predominate and the
grass is extremely thin The addi
tion of the ammonium sulphate to
Sinox, a chemical dyestuff, is to aid
in killing the weeds and also fertil
ize the grass, giving it increased
vigor.
A bulletin describing methods of
use of this selective weed spray on
grass and grain crops will be issued
soon by the experiment station.

A couple of bad eggs . . .
but why blame the hen ?
A bad egg does turn up once in a while
. . . but that's not a sensible reason for
destroying all the good eggs ... or for
taking it out on the hen.
Beer retailing in America is some
thing like that. The vast majority of
beer retail establishments are clean,
law-abiding, wholesome places. And
still there may be a few "bad egg" re
tailers who violate the law or permit
anti-social conditions.
The brewing industry wants these
undesirables eliminated entirely . . .
to protect your right to drink good
beer . . . and our right to make it.
And also to protect the many bene
fits brought by the beer industry to
Oregon. ..such as the 13,238 jobs cre
ated... and beer's $11,541,550 annual
payroll. Beer contributed $617,020.86
last year in taxes to help pay the cost
of government in this state.
You can help us in our program of law
enforcement, if you will, by (l) patron
izing only the legal and reputable places
that sell beer and (2) by reporting any
abuses to the proper law enforcement
authorities.
