Agronomists Discuss New
Methods for Old Problems
New methods of dealing with
old problems held the spotlight at
the field day sponsored by Ag
College agronomists Thursday.
The college played host to the
states agriculturists.
In keeping with the present
trend, 2,4-D received a lion's share
of the interest. With Dr. F. D.
Keim as acting charman several
of the college s weed experts de
livered facts and figures in the
morning. J. D. Furrer, Dayton
Klingman, and Niel Shaffer all
discussed some experiments now
being carried out at the station
Insect Control.
Also in the morning. Dr
Ephraim Hixson, chairman of the
Entomology department, told of
progress on insect control. A
question and answer period was
held to clear up any hazy points.
Visitors had a chance to view
equipment used in spraying weeds,
cleaning and treating of seed, dur
ing the remaining time.
Afternoon sessions convened at
the agronomy farm, and cropping
practices there were explained on
a conducted tour. Among the in
teresting new developments per
formed was crop spraying by air
plane, a wrinkle becoming more
popular in modern crop treat
ment. Stubble mulch farming received
much attention from the agricul
turists. Practices in this type of
farming have been carried out
for the past ten years on the
agronomy farm.
