"Ob course I dot a code in my head, but dank you for calling,"
was the happy grandmother's reply to an unexpected long
distance call from her son and his family. It wasn't Mother's
Day or even Christmas. They just had the impulse to keep in
touch, and the kids wanted very much to talk to Grandma.
Even with the pleasant weeping caused by this call, her voice
sounded good to everyone. Have you shared some tearful hap

to keep weeds out of crops
Every fence row, ditch bank and other
noncrop area around the farm or ranch
can be a thriving "weed bed." Here
weeds start, flourish and spread into
wheat and other croplands. These "weed
beds" can complicate, or even defeat,
your weed control program.
Effective chemical weed control in
these noncrop areas simplifies your weed
problems, reduces the fire hazard of dry
weeds and cuts maintenance costs by
doing away with hand-cutting of hard-to-mow
areas.
Advantages of chemical weed control
Atrazine and Simazine herbicides give
safe, long-lasting weed control. Extensive
U!e of these products on farms and
ranches has shown that a single applica
tion gives effective results for a full sea
son. The economy of weed control with
Atrazine or Simazine is obvious when
compared to mechanical methods which
provide only temporary control and usu
ally require follow-up methods during
the season.
What to use and when
Atrazine attacks weeds through both
roots and foliage. It can he used before
weeds emerge, or soon after weeds ap
pear above the ground. Atrazine gives
long-term weed control, especially in
areas of low rainfall.
Simazine provides effective long-last

ing control when applied before weeds
emerge. Since it has no foliar contact
action, there is no danger of injury to
crops through accidental drift. Simazine
stays where you put it, too. No danger of
lateral leaching in the soil.
Weeds controlled
Atrazine and Simazine control a wide
range of annual broadleaf weeds and
grasses and some perennials. Among
these are the following important prob
lem species: Cheatgrass, ryegrass, tar
weed, Russian thistle, foxtail, quackgrass,
mustard and puncture vine.
Safe
Atrazine and Simazine are relatively safe
to humans and animals. Nonirritating to
the skin and noncorrosive to equipment.
Always follow label directions. Both are
easily removed from spray tanks and lines
by thorough flushing with water.
