and Morrow-Condon soils in
creased yields of wheat. The re
duction of weed competition In
creased wheat yields from 8.8
bushels to 18 bushels In the low

tionship existed at the 11 inch
area with 15.6 to 2!) bushels, and
on the higher rainfall, but shal
lower, Morrow-Condon soils.
Besides better control when
applied properly, the new herb

the small weeds that are higher
