(IP) Chemical weed-killers may be used in cran berry bogs in the near future, according to a University of Wis consin horticulturist. Malcolm Dana said that cran berries have enough tolerance to several weed-killing chemicals to warrant expanded studies with the materials. Previously, cranberries were considered too sensitive to allow use of them. E x p e r iments conducted by Dana for the last three years showed that there was good con trol of several species of weeds and no cranberry injury with proper spray dosage. The spray ed plots in 1954 yielded twice as many berries due to control of wide leaf grass, Dana said. However, he pointed out that government regulations of chem icals on food crops have not yet approved the materials used for cranberries.
