I teed Control Cornfields How to get weed control when fields are too wet for cultivation has long been a problem for every farmer who plants com. However, today, thanks to science, there is a way. Throughout the Midwest new weed control chemicals are taking over the job of keeping weeds out of com. These herbi cides are applied once, at the time com is planted, and provide weed control throughout the growing season, whether or not fields are too wet to cultivate. As the result of modernized weed control practices, the farmer derives many other extra benefits as well. Authorities report that farmers using herbicides such as Atrazine or Simazine have more free time for making quality hay at the peak of nutritive value, planting soybeans, or doing other farm work that should be done on time, but in the past has been de layed when time for first cultiva tion arrived. Yields are higher with modem weed control meth ods, and the extra bushels more than pay for the cost of materials and application. Based upon performance and use in midwest com areas for sev eral years, modem weed killers are here to stay. With weed con trol now being taken care of chemically, a rainy day is Just Hk» any other day when it comes to keeping weeds out of com. In fact, modem herbicides are referred to by some experts as a kind of wet weather “insurance”—or at least as close to insurance as you can get. More information on chemi cal weed control in com mav be obtained by writing Geigy Agricul tural Chemicals, Department WN, Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, New York. m OPENING DANCE SUNDAY.
