Weed Killing Time Near In Basin By JAMES T. ELIXGS Assistant County Ajcnl "The time for controlling weeds with chemicals will soon be here. Some selective spraying in fall planted grain has already been done in the county this year. 2.4-D when used as a selective herbicide may be expected to give good re sults In controlling most broad leafed annual plants and tap rat ed perennial plants. The chemical may be used to control weeds In barley, wheat, oats, grass seed fields, grass pastures and turf areas. Including lawns. Crops such as alfalfa, clover, beets, onions and peas should not be treated with 2.4-D because they are sus ceptible to the chemical. With something over 122.000 acres of grain in the Klamath basin last year, and an increased acreage this year, this will mean a lot of selec tive weed control work, even if only a fraction of it is sprayed. For the use of 2.4-D as a selective weed control material, the dosage will Tary from less than H to l1: pounds of acid equivalent per acre, depend ing on conditions and on the kind of weed. The lower rates are usual ly used on grain for control of young, annual broadleaf plants. The higher rates, up to 1 1 j pounds of the cald equivalent, will be used on es tablished grass plantings or on grain for control of perennial weeds or hard to kill annuals. The time to apply 2.4-D as a se lective spray will depend on the stage of growth of both the weed and the crop. Generally, the young er the weed the more effective the treatment. Grain may be treated when it is 6 to 8 Inches high or when U begins to stool. In any event, it should be treated before it emerges from the boot. Since Injury to grain or grass is always a possibil ity, the correct amount of 2.4-D must be applied. It cannot safely be reasoned that because a little 2.4-D does some good, more of it should be better. Too heavy an ap plication will not necessarily in crease the yield over untreated fields. Hudson bay connects the Arctic ocean by Foxe channel, and the Atlantic by Hudson Strait. Beet carcasses were mostly higher on moderate supplies this week.
