Early Chemical
Conlrol Needed
To Combat Weeds
By GENE WINTERS
Each year it Is becoming
more evident the weed damage
to crops occur at the early stage
of crop Rrowth. Early applica
tion of 2,4 D has Riven better
broad leaf control In eeneraL but
has damned young wheat plants
more than commonly believed.
The development of bromoxy
nil and its recent Federal regis
tration provides a material (bro
mlnil, Buctril I with several ad
vantages over 2,4 D and dlcam
ba (Banvel D for broadleaf
weed control In wheat and bar
ley. It can be applied at an earlier
stage of cereal growth and will
not cause distortion and reduc
tion of yield when used ill" H-c-ommended
rates.
Eromoxynil has given excel
lent control of fiddleneck (tar
weed) in a wide variety of areas
tried.

Hide Industry
Seeks Changes
r cail Mccarty
Cattle hides without brand
sears this Is what the hide in
duxtry would like. On the oth
er hand, cattlemen need their
brands for Identification of their
animals. This has long been
problem. However, hide dealers
are complaining louder now
about hot iron brands due to
large exports of hides to Japan
Projects are now being car
rled on to find other methods of
applying brands. A brand makes
its permanent mark by causing
a warping or dislocation of the
hair follicles. The new hair
growth on this area grows at a
different angle from the natural
hair. This Is the part we see on
the outside.
Washington State University
is trying a project which freez
es Instead of burns. This would
discolor the hair and the hide
but would not damage the hide.
Colorado is Just starting a pro
ject which would remove the
hair from the animals with
chemicals. It is not known yet
however, if these brands will

Dr. O. J. RcdTorsoo
Assigned to Oregon
The U. S. Department of Ag
ricultures Animal Health Divis
ion has Just announced the ap
pointment of Dr. O. J. Halvor
son as veterinarian in charge of
Oregon for the department. He
replaces Dr. A. G. Beagle who
fence rowk is like putting .,red n Def?bf1
screens on ail tne windows in
the house except one the flies
are bound to get back in.
Four chemicals recommended
by Oregon State University for
controlling undesired plants In
fence rows are hyvar X. atra
zine. simazine and amitrole.
Three of them, hyvar, atra
zine and simazine are soil ster
ilants which will kill all plants
and new seedlings cannot safe
ly be made for approximately
two years.
On the other hand while ami
trole (Amino Triazole, Weedazo,
Amitrole T, Cytrol) also effects
all plants, the residual effect is
short and usually only those
growing at the time of treat
ment are affected. There are
practically no residual soil ef
fects and grass seedings can be
made in amitrole treated areas
in about 30 days.
This would permit the seed
ing of crested wheatgrass where
desired as a weed competitor.
The suggested rates for the soil
sterilants are four to six pounds
of hyvar X and from 6 to 8
pounds of simazine or atrazine
per acre. Best results have been
gained in eastern Oregon by
treating November th r o u g h
March. I
If treatments are made late
in the season when plants are
more than four inches tall, Ami
trole T at the rate of two quarts
per acre should be added to the
sterilant. Two miles of four foot
wide fence rows makes about
one acre of land.

vorson graduated from wash

After graduation, he accepted

the department ever since, ex
