Double Use
Of Sprayers
Is Dangerous
Your neighbor's farm or garden
may have suffered no damage
when he washed out his weed
sprayer before using it to spray
plants with an insecticide. You
try it, and your healthy tomato
plants curl up and iie.
Rex Warren, Oregon State Col
lege farm crops specialist, says
much confusion has arisen over
use of equipment for the dual job
of controlling weeds and insects.
It all depends on the type of weed
Killer previously used,1 the crops
to be sprayed, and the method of
cleaning equipment, he adds.
, If the weed killer was a phe
noxyacetic acid compound 2,4-D
or 2,4,5-T or MCP you might be
headed fof trouble. Most fruits,
vegetables and legumes are in
jured in varying degrees by this
family of chemicals. Beans, toma-
In addition the grain varietiesltoes, vine , vegetables, grapes and

The second morning stop will be

No Chemical Will
Make Quality Hay
Salt In the hay won't stop wet
hay from heating, county exten
sion agents are warning. ? u
enough salt were used to prevent
fire, the hay would be too sflty
for animals to eat. ;
High moisture .hay can 'be
stored over air ventilation sys
tem on a mow-dry in g principle,
using either heated air or natural
air. There is no chemical short
cut to make high quality hay.
Says Women
Make Best
erliangers
tree fruits are highly susceptible.
it is best to use a separate spray
er for them since no method of
cleaning can be - guaranteed to
remove all .traces of the weed
killer.
For less susceptible plants such
as corn and legume crops, how
ever, the spraying equipment can
be used again safely after it is
thoroughly cleaned by one of sev
eral recommended methods.
T remove 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T or MCP,
all pieces of the spraying equip
menttank; pump, spray booms-
should be soaked for 24 hours in a
one percent . solution of household
ammonia, at . the rate of two
teaspoonf uls per quart of water,
and then rinsed several times with
clear water. Or you can follow
the same procedure, using house
hold lye, one pound to 100 gallons
rf water.
Another method is to wash the
equipment thoroughly with a one
per cent suspension of activiated
charcoal and then rinse with clear
water. Wooden spray tanks can
not be cleaned with any of these
materials since the weed-killing
acid is absorbed by the-wood.
If the weed killer , used was a
chemical other than one of the
pbenoxyacetic acid compounds, the
spraying equipment may be re
used safely after being washed
thoroughly with water and a small
amount of detergent

Mrs. Nehrboss says that it isn'
Just because a woman can do
neater job of paperhanging than
men. It s the extra service thai
the housewife gets from women
paperhangers that counts. -
"I can baste a roast in the oven

telephone or whip up lunch for
home-to-lunch school kids,' Mrs,
Nehrboss says. What man paper-
hanger can do those things?
Mrs. Nehrboss became a paper-

paperhanger she says, 'The work
has become; easier for me as the
years have rolled by, t partly be

as a good paperhanger, the women
will pick you for the job almost
every tune.
