New Impetus for
Chemical Control
Of Weeds Offered
Support for the proposed project
to establish a government plant for
manufacture of chlorates at Bonne
ville using surplus power was prom
ised by Representative Walter M.
Pierce recently at a special weed
meeting held in Baker county.
With many valuable fields having
to be abandoned because of the in
roads of perennial weeds such as
white-top, such a project would be
a real soil conservation measure,
it was pointed out. Some have esti
mated that chlorates could be sup
plied farmers at around 2Y2 cents a
pound if produced in this manner.

icals, authors of a recent bulletin on
perennial weed control in Oregon

point out that sodium chlorate comes
the nearest to being an ideal weed
killing chemical among those now
in general use. Other forms of chlor
ate are on the market but are not
so effective as sodium chlorate.
Under most conditions, the chlor
ates will positively kill the weeds if
enough of the chemical is applied.
At first it was thought that the
plants were killed only as a result
of the absorption of the material by
the leaves, but for the past eight
years or more it has been known that
most of the killing was due to con
tact of the chlorate with the roots of
the plant. Since this is the case, any
condition which prevents contact
with the roots will prevent success
of the method.
Places where it does not work sat
isfactorily include steep slopes where
water washes the chemical down the
hill, gravelly sub-soils where the
chemical is soon washed away, over
flow and swampy locations, peat soils
or stack bottoms with excessive or
ganic matter, areas with a fluctuat
ing high water table, and soils with
such hard surfaces that they resist
penetration.
Numerous findings that make the
use of chlorates in weed control more
effective are listed in the new bulle
tin, as well as precautions necessary"
to safe use of chlorates. The fare
hazard with this type of chemical is
particularly important unless most
rigid precautions are observed. Ex
tension bulletin 510, "Control of
Perennial Weeds in Oregon," may
be had free at extension offices.' '"'
