While this will not eradi cate morning glory, it is a rel atively economical control which will allow wheat to be grown without the competition from morning glory. One of the advantages of Tor don is that It has a short resid ual that will allow production to continue as morning glory Is controlled. While we have no price quotations yet. it appears that it will cost considerable less than other methods of morn ing glory control in use at this time.

Fainting Tip. CWea Planning to paint your house? M. G. Hubvr. Oregon State Unl versity tension Agrlt-ultural engineer, says that a good white house paint should last at least 4 or 5 years before It must be renewed; tinted points 5 or 6 years; and dark colort-d paints. 6 to 8 years. Don't paint too often. The basic rule is paint only after most of the old paint film has weathered away. H paint Is built up too thickly It may require costly and time consuming removal before a new coat can be applied. In repaint ing, it Is a goinl Idea to use the same type of paint as before. If you want to change to a different type of pair. It Is best to wait at least 4 years af tpr th last oaint kb before making the change. Maybe you can wait another year after all!
