Heavy weed irrowth in the untreated section shows its value to the farmer and home gardener. A weed killer, that is not actu ally a weed killer when sprayed, is proving itself effective, espe cially in areas where strawberries are the principal crop. Brought out last year as CRAG Herbicide 1, the chemical is so composed that it is not an active weed killer until soil microorgan isms work on it and change it chemically. Once this action takes place, the chemical becomes an effective weed killer . . . and a safe one. By its very nature it can be sprayed on crops with little or no danger of drift damage to the foliage of nearby crops. When such drift occurs, the material is harmless until it reaches the soil where it goes to work on the weed but not the crops. Manufactured by Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Company, a Division of Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation, of New York, its value to growers has already Across The Counter By Frank r Van The recent series of air I lane crashes into apart inent houses in .New York ami New Jersey puts the spotlightfin a hazard rare ly anticipated.

For example, at Seabrook Farms, Bridgeton, New Jersey, tests on asparagus plots actually brought a yield increase of 17 per cent, and appreciably decreased weeding costs. The new weed killer Is current, ly being tested on other crops. Tests already completed indicate that it also has promise for use in sweet corn, and field corn, corm and bulb type crops and nursery stock. This new weed killer does not kill weeds greater than V inch high. For that reason, the chem ical is applied on ground that is clean-cultivated. In this way the chemical kills germinating weed3 and weed seed in the top layer of soil. Growers should consult their local county agent or state ex periment station on the dosages recommended for the use of this remarkable weed killer.

Overhead crossings and underpasses, clovcrleafs, traffic circles and smoothly graded curves all are modern examples of highway designs that have prevented countless accidents and saved many lives. Remember that good traffic engineering is real economy. It builds safety into streets and highways, and it need not be costly. Often a few dollars wisely expended by a competent engineer can drastically reduce a serious death, and injury toll eliminate traffic congestion. Warnings, mark ings, safe speed limits and danger zones tell you how to drive with safety. The rest is up to you. Our great new highways are Defgns f--r Living. Play fair, use them safely and LIVE!
