Starting Thursday, everyone 16 and older who wants a COVID-19 vaccine can receive one in Washington. The eligibility expansion marks the four-month anniversary of vaccine rollout in our state. Since mid-December, nearly 4.3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered across the state. More than 2.67 million people have received at least one dose and more than 23% of Washingtonians are fully vaccinated. Opening eligibility to everyone 16 and older will further protect our communities and help us get closer to crossing the finish line of this global pandemic.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s captain for all three formats Babar Azam Thursday hoped to carry forward the momentum into the fourth T20I amid similar Centurion conditions which, he said, were good enough to bring out the best from the top-order.
In a virtual talk following an empathic display of exciting cricket that saw Pakistan racing to nine-wicket win in the third T20I, Babar said he wanted his charges to carry forward the same momentum going into the fourth and final T20 today (Friday).
“The series outcome depends on the fourth T20’s result. We are looking forward to continue with the same tempo which we have shown in the third T20. Hopefully, you would see the best from Pakistan players in the final game against South Africa.”

The job is a critical one at ABC and its parent company, Walt Disney Co. “GMA” generated $293.6 million in advertising in 2020, according to Kantar, a tracker of ad spending, compared with $357.6 million for NBC’s “Today” and $185.4 million for “CBS This Morning” on CBS. And the show has recently been expanding. In 2018, ABC News launched an afternoon extension of the program that, after a shaky start, has functioned as sort of a news update for midday viewers. In 2019, ABC expanded the hours of the show’s Saturday broadcast, part of a bid to get more stations to run the program across the U.S.

Replies to a questionnaire on sweet clover sent out a short time ago to farmers of Wexford County show a tremendous increase in the use of this legume, according to William F. Johnston, agricultural agent. These returns show an estimate of 822 farms averaged four acres each seeding in 1920 or 3,288 altogether. These fields will furnish a crop of hay and a seed crop this season. As these are new crops to the great majority, care must be exercised to prevent a large loss. For instance the hay should be cut just before the sweet clover comes to blossom to prevent the hay becoming woody. Care must be exercised in putting the hay in cocks to prevent the leaves from shattering. Carelessness on these two points loses about 65% of the feeding value of the hay amounting to over $20,000 in the county on the estimated acreage. As sweet clover sprouts from the roots, it is necessary to cut high enough to leave at least five branches. This will be from 6 to 8 inches high according
