It has only lot of trouble and bother? .7 basic units of measure compared to Like many unfamiliar things, the our current S3. Since it's a decimal changeover to the metric system system, all the basic metric units can sounds much worse than it really is. be multiplied or divided by multiples of Once you try it, you'll probably breathe 10 to get bigger or smaller units-ju- st a sign of relief. like we now multiply pennies by 100 or First, the metric system of dimes by 10 to get dollars. One of the benefits we will gain with use of this system is the elimination of cumbersome, awkward fractions in our recipes. In the kitchen, the metric units you will use most are meters which length; grams which weight; liters which designate volume and degrees Celsius which designate temperature. With the metric system, when you are choosing the right size baking dish for a recipe, you will measure it id centimeters (or, ths of a meter). When you designate designate buy a package of frozen vegetables, the label will tell you how many grams it weighs. There are a lot of grams in a sack of flour, though, so it will be weighed in units called kilograms (or, one thousand times a gram). When you want to measure that flour to put into a recipe, you'll probably need about a liter when you're baking bread or about of a 60 milliliters (or, liter) when thickening a sauce. You'll set the oven to about degrees Celsius for most of your baking. How much trouble is all this going to be? Not much. All your favorite "old" recipes can be used just as they are with the same equipment you've always used. To cook with recipes written in metric, you'll need a set of both large - and small dry metric measures (like the measuring cups and spoons we use now), a couple of liquid metric measures (If you've purchased a standard one recently, it probably already has metric measurements on one side.), and a ruler with centimeter markings. Soon you should be able to purchase a little disc with metric markings to go over your oven dial. That's all the new equipment you'll Cnbgrass Preefflergeflce Herbicide Timing Rate Critical Preemergence 175-18- 0 Es& X x : fiPWO I Preemergence her- bicide application rate and timing are critical for aspects effective weed control.

Typically in Utah, a chemical called Dacthal is used in the control of crabgrass, goosegrass, and foxtail. The timing of application of this chemical is correlated with the flowering of the common lilac bush. Crabgrass will germinate approximately at the same time that the lilac comes into full bloom. the Therefore, ap- plication should be two weeks before that time. 9 is the time April 22-2- that Miss Utah, Jami Coombs, displays a bouquet of winter hardiness, strong stand persistence and a built-i- n than double the state average. per year-m- ore VVL-30- 9 the application should be rates found made.
