Rifht half of this strawberry bed was treated with the new weed
killer. 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,

been proven In commercial opera
tions. 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.

When you are driving along a modern highway, enjoying a smooth ride, give a
thought to the traffic engineers who designed such roads for-your safety.
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!
