PAWN Cf DAY IN WEED CCNTiVL
Ur:-. C. J. rrillard, professor of agronomy at
Ohio Sjato told the Agricultural Insecticide
and Tungicide association at their semi-an
nual meeting in Washington, D.C., that Chem
icals are bringing "the dawn of a new day
in weed control."
He says "The three'great enemies of the crop
•producer are needs, insects and riant dis
eases-and reeds cause more loss than eithe ,
of the others."
The new 2,4-D treatment is being used es
pecially in the crons where intertiilage
is impossible, and where lack of cultivation
nermits an accumulation of reed sends. Ac
tual field increases reported range from
0 to 57 ^er cent. T is means more food and
less reeds.
Dr. rT>llard stated that "7! is is merely the
darn. Tie future will see chemical control
of a very large proportion of our riant
rests as a greatly reduced expenditure of
human labor. "

According to Ilarl Hobson, agricultural econ
omist at the State College of Washington,
there is indicated a larger potato crop this
year with somewhat smaller prices.
If history repeats itself, potato growers
will be planting a larger aeraage of potatoes
this year. Unless the national yeild is
small the potato price will decrease.
