Chic en, e work shops to start
Just a reminder to drop in
your application or phone in
the information for the
"Which Came First, the
Chicken or the Egg?" work-
shops. I'm looking forward to
working with you and hope
you will come away from- the
two days full of enthusiasm
and knowledge on chickens
and eggs. Workshops are
coming quickly and because
of the confusion with the lack
of mail, I hope you will pass
the information on to other
leaders. Please, would you
bring with you: three ring
binder for members and
leaders pamphlets, pencil,
pen, tape and paper scissors,
an egg gadget if you have
one, an egg carton, apron, 1
broiler/fryer chicken (per
club), 1 boning knife for
cutting tip poultry (per club).
Please have an idea of the
number of members you will
Extension cords are not all
the same. Most farmers have
a few extension cords of
various lengths and possibly
different gauges of wire.
There are some interesting
facts about these wires that
you should know. When elec-
tricity runs through a long
wire, you get "voltage drop."
This is caused by the resi-
stance of the wire. If the drop
is too great, you may have
problems at the end of the
line. Starting of motors may
be difficult and full load
running current may be
greatly increased. This leads
to overheating of both motor
and wires. Circuit breakers
will continuously trip. The
plugs on light duty extension
cords can heat up to the point
that they will melt or burn.
It is not hard to find the
right wire size of your exten-
sion cord. You must know the
electrical load of the motor at
the end of the cord. You must
also know the length of cord.
Then use this simple formula:
size of wire (in circular mils)
= 6.1 x length or run (in feet)
x full load amps at 120 volts.
be having in your club and
from that number could you
find out how many haven't
taken a food project before.
Workshops are being held
from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
for daytime sessions and 6:30

For example a quarter
horsepower motor with load
of 5.8 amps on the end of a
100 ft. cord would need a wire
size of 6.1 x 5.8 x 100= 3538
circular mils. The size of wire
should be A.W.G. No. 14.
However, if two motors are
running continuously instead
of one, the wire size would
have to be No. 10.
Take the time to make the
calculation. It could prevent a
tragedy.

Wherever you use it, Roundup®
herbicide by Monsanto controls
tough emerged weeds — right
down to the roots — so they can't
grow back. Yet Roundup has no
carryover. And it won't wash or
leach out of treated areas to
injure crops or other desirable
vegetation.
Reach for Roundup as an in-
crop spot treatment for tough
weeds like milkweed. Use it in
orchards. Or for pasture renova-
tion to clean quackgrass infesta-
tions out of forage crops. Use it
after harvest to control quack-
Nothing works

The third meetingof the
Bugs Bunny Club was held
July at David Pullen's
house. The pledge was said
along with the roll call and
minutes of the last meeting.
There were nine members
present and one visitor.
Patty Coleman motioned
that the Bugs Bunny report ,
be put in the local papers.
The members voted in fav-
our.
A few groans were heard
whenthe leaders told the
member that they have to
judge rabbits for the next I
meeting.
Terry Smith, another lead-
er, suggested the club go to
John Juno's rabbit operation '
near Clifford and a Bull
Testing Station near Harris-
