Weeds -Weeds -Weeds
You can't scare them to death with
the magic letters
"2,4-D" on the loble. There must be 2, 4-D in the spray.
The extension division at Oregon State College and your
County Agent recommend one pint or 7 ox. of parent
2, 4-D acid to the acre in an ester spray and it is unwise to
use less, until you have proven by experimentation in
your own field under local conditions that less will do the
job.
We offer Zehrung's Isopropyl Ester Liquid 2, 4-D, 3.34 lb.
per gallon at $9.65 per gallon. Each gallon will cover
eight acres at the recommendations of the State College
and your County Agnt for annual weeds at a cost of $1 .21
per acre for material.
From tests made during last summer we believe that bet
ter results can be obtained in hard to kill weeds such as
morning glory, Canadian thistle, etc. by using one full
pound of parent acid per acre in Alkanolamine. We are
offering Zehrung's Alkanolamine Liquid 2,4-D with 4 lbs.
of parent acid per gallon at $8.55 per gallon. Also Zeh
rung's Isopropyl Ester dust at 1 5c per lb. for those having
dusting equipment.
Before you purchase your spraying equipment we strong
ly urge you to see our Mistmaker Sr. spray unit. . . .Light,
powerful, efficient. A simple single nut adjustment will
give you either high or low pressure application.
If you wont to get awoy from having to irrigate your field
while you are killing the weeds let us show you how to do
it with as little as three gallons of water per acre and still
evenly spread the recommended amount of 2,4-D uni
formly over the field.
No stirring or agitation is necessary on Zehrung's spray
materials. All are 100 pet. water soluble.
Let us remind you: We supply Liquid Rotenone for cat
tle grub spraying and liquid DDT for ticks and lice. Cur
rent price on materials about 3 cents per head.
Come in and let us discuss your spray problems.
Place your orders for materials now while supplies are
available at the above prices.

Who Are We, Anyway?
Subject came up at Bill Web
ster's, the other day, as we were
chatting over beer and pretzels.
Just who are the folks who make up
our town ? Where'd they come from ?
Well, Doc Holliatcr's Scotch
English ancestry; Will Dudley's
folks were mining stock from
Pennsylvania; Skip Powell's fam
ily were brewers back in Holland.
Guess our bloodstream's got a
bit of every country of the globe
and every section of America. We've
still got differences in taste and
background whether they apply to
music, history, or beer. Only those
differences don't matter because
we're self-respecting people, in
free, united land.
And from where I sit, that's
what makes our towns and citiij
our America so strong, pro
gressive, tolerant. Our champion
ship of individual liberties has
brought us people from all faiths,
all lands to prove that respect for
one another's rights is the greatest
bond humanity can know!
