7.9 Bushels More than with 2,4-D
I used BUCTRIL on about 500 acres of wheat and
had excellent results in a heavy infestation of Tar
weed. An accurate check of 2,4-D and BUCTRIL
results on 40 acres of Moro wheat shows an increase
of 7.9 bushels from BUCTRIL over 2,4 D.
Ben Holdman
Pendleton, Oregon
Gromwell Controlled -High Yield
My weed problem on summerfallow was Gromwell
thick enough to reduce the yield considerably. We
applied BUCTRIL at the 2 pint rate with 30 gallons
of Nitrate Solution. The weeds were large, perhaps
much too large. The BUCTRIL worked slowly and
effectively on this weed. We harvested 65 bushels
of wheat that otherwise would have been hard
pressed to make 45 to 50 bushels.

In the area of taxation and

farm land be assessed mid tax
ed on the basis of its current
earning capacity and use rath
er than market value. Sought a

general election be established
as a prerequisite to authoriza

Highlights of the marketlno

Recommends Buctril very highly
I used BUCTRIL on 65 acres of Brevor wheat to kill
Tarweed and Purple Mustard. The results were ex
cellent and my yield was increased 7 bushels per
acre over 2,4-D. I had no discoloration of the wheat
kernels where BUCTRIL was used. I recommend
BUCTRIL very highly. Also, my wheat did not shat
ter so badly.
Harold Hartlield
Arlington, Oregon
Used in Barley -Best crop ever
At the time we sprayed our barley last spring it was
so badly infested with Tarweed that I remarked that
if we had any crop of barley it would be due to the
spray job. We used the recommended application of
BUCTRIL and raised the best crop of barley we aver
had.
