At the last Columbia County Health Committee meeting, the seriousness of poison oak was con sidered, and someone asked about control measures. This pest can be controlled in a number of ways from grazing with goats through spraying with we.dicides and hand grubbing. Animate sprayed on the plants has been very effective in con trolling poison oak. The spray is made up of one pound of ani mate to on" gallon of water. July to September is the time of year to use this material. When used before the end of June 2,4-D has been giving some degree of con trol. Sodium chlorate at the rate of one pound to one gallon of wat r gives good control, but there is danger in using it because of the fire hazard and it is poisonous to livestock. Sprayers used for ammate should be cleaned well, because th" ammate is corrosive to metals. AROUND HOME...
