Time Here To
Spray Lawns
Now Is the opportune time to be
planning to kill broudleii( luwn
weeds with a 2.4-U spray. Lawns in
(ested w-ith wreds arc very easily
sprayed with a knapsack type
sprayer.
iluw much J.4-D to put on a given
area of luwn always presents a
problem. 'Hie active inicrrrtiriita or
parent acid content of the 2.4-1)
product Is the incnsuring slick. The
products pul out by the vnrloux
muuufuclurera differ, however, when
spraying In win. utr (ive-stxths o( an

parent acid to 1000 square (ret.
The suit (ormulutlons of 2.4-D are
less volatile than the ester types
and there Is Irss likelihood of Injur
ing nearby plants when using a
2.4-D sail. Use enough water wtien
spraying to get good coveraire
about one giillou of the solution per
1000 square (eel. Follow the manu
facturers directions closely.
Be sure and keep Ihe 2.4-D from
coming tnlo contact with broad
leafed plants such as (lowers, shrubs
and trees. Spray lawns only when
there Is no brerae. so there will be
no drift of the muterlal to suscepti
ble plants. Clover la also very
susceptible to 2.4-D. so lawns that
are a mixture of clover and grasses
must not be sprayed, unless It la
desirable to get rid of the clover.

Farm Specialists Line Up
Plans For The Ideal Home
To Get Most Out Of Life
IM'M.MAN, Wash., May 13
What are the needs of an Ideal (arm
family home and how should It dl(
(rr (rom a elly dwrlllng?
A group of agrlrultural extension
specialists, after a long sludy of Ihe
problem, came up with these three
basic recommrndullons:
1. Put the front door where It will
be used!
2. He sure the housewife's work
room gives a view at the barns, the
drlvrwuy and the highway,
3. Ilulld rooms around a central
hallway; It will (III more needs Ulan
the corner drugstore. ,
The specification are bawd on
recognition of the homemuker as a
key member of the (arm operating
crew. It's recognized that she has
to keep a weather eye on the live
stock und the poultry as well as on
her housework.
The central hallway Is designed
as a channel to keep the heavy truf
fle out of the kitchen and out (rom
under the cook's (eel.
Say the specialists:
"It will make housework easier
by catching and holding most of the
dirt that's tracked Into the house.
It can provide most o( the home's
miscellaneous storage space. Rooms
remain rooms. Instead o( passage
ways." The Washington Htale college
specialists are conducting a series
of extension (arm housing workshops
around the atate to promote more
prarllral and e((lrlent rural homes
by sound baals planning. Another
purpose la to (ocus the attention o(
all home planners or builders on
Uie aperltic (arm house problems.
i One of the workshop panel mem
j bers, II. K. Wiclicrs, extension spe
cialist In rural architecture, says
i the point about a (rout door that will
; get used often brings a laugh (rom
I workhouse participants. But. he
! says, they are reminded to make a
' meulul survey o( (arm homes they
know with Iront doors that really
' are used.
Heavy Traffic
' When (rout doors are placed In
i the center of the (rout, a la town
homes he says, there's rarely a walk
leading to the door or a palh through
i the gritss. More often than not, the
kitchen door gets the heavy traffic
and often during the housewlfe'a
busiest kitchen hours.
I The recommendation it to put the
front door on Ihe driveway Instead
1 of (acing the highway. To discour-
. ag kitchrn entry, its doorway is
shifted around to the bark where it
is a convenient approach only (rom
Ihe barn area.
Another important consideration
Estimate Of
Wheat Crop
Shows Drop
WASHINGTON, May 13 oTV-The
agriculture deportment Monday
(orecast this year's winter wheat
crop at 845.4K4.WW bushels.
This Is a decrease of 14,516.000
bushels (rom the 8oO,OOU,000 bushels
(orecast a month ago.
It compares with last year's crop
of 1.067 70.000 bushels and with
W8.6O0.O00 (or the ten year (11138-48)
average.
No (orecast was given (or spring
wheat, but If the latter should equal
the 272.000,000 bushels which the
department says 1 possible on basis
of farmers' planting plans, the total
wheat crop would be above 1,117,
000,000 bushels.
Such a total crop would compare
with last year's record ol 1.360I9.-
000 and with the ten year average
01 890.306.000.
I U the prevailing wind direction. It
is much more pleasant, as any (arm
(amlly will agree, to set the house
where the wind blows (rom it to the
barn area. Instead o( (rom the barn.
And the slope should be away (rom
the home, (or drainage.
