Frozen strawberries may be purchased whole, in halves, or in slices, and are generally sweetened with sugar. The dry sugar mixed with the berries before they are frozen forms a syrup when it blends with the natural strawberry juices. Some whole strawberries are frozen without added sweetner. These are “in dividually quick frozen” strawberries. They are sometimes labeled “whole frozen strawberries,” Most frozen strawberries are quality graded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Frozen strawberries may bear the U. S. grade name if they are officially graded, Some frozen strawberries are individually quick frozen in see-through bags, so that part of the package may be used and the rest kept frozen. Frozen strawberries also are marketed in cups, cartons, or special fiber metal cans. Some come in quick-thaw pouches. Choose only packages that are frozen hard. Do not buy packages that are stained by CHAIN SAWS SPRAYERS OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT Jacobsen Mowers TRACTOBS POWER TOOLS ■ Drills - Grinders - Saber Saws - Hammer Drills - Roto-Hammers Repair-Overhauls Rentals-Service 1 Jtautter REPAIR SERVICE RD2 East Earl, Pa Ph 215-445-6175 Vz mile North of Goodville on Union Grove Road sometime during marketing.

Dear Livestock Farmer; Dr. Cloy Knodt tells us that a ton of good quality alfalfa haylage containing 40% moisture and 20% crude protein on a dry matter basis can be an excellent source of protein and considerable economic value. Such haylage contains enough crude protein to equal that of 545 lbs-, of 44% protein soybean meal which would cost $54.50 ($200.00 per ton) or $65.40 ($240.00 per ton). Therefore, alfalfa haylage can easily be worth $5O to $65 per ton just for its crude protein value as compared to buying soybean meal.- •^ViViViVtVAViVAViVtViVAViVAViV Lancaster County, giving help and aid in instruction of English.
