patch, should be made, using the
balance of the material. We par
ticularly recommend the several
and successive later applications
under orchard conditions and in no
case would we recommend more
than a 2 lb. application of sodium
chlorate to the square rod at one
time in the orchard and even then
would want to see this kept away
from too close to the trunk of the
tree.
We believe it inadvisable to use
the regular orchard sprayer for
weed control work unless extreme
care is used in thoroughly rinsing
the machine after use. This mater
ial will burn foliage and fruit Of
trees very quickly. CELEBRATES are
being offered at q price which
would seem to warrant immediate
control measures being applied to
all perennial weed patches. The
above recommendations are based
upon the general conference Of
the extension agents of the irri-
gated sections Of the state and we
believe is about the best informa-
ton for our conditions at the pres
emit time.

Perennial Weed Control .

grass, Bermuda grass and weeds
such as morning glory, perennial
nightshade, sand dock, we believe
that as much as three pounds may
be required per square rod. For
Siberian mustard, hoary cross and
any other perennials Of the mus
tard family, it probably will be
necessary to use as much rs FOUR
pounds per square rod. If one
were were using Atlacide the
amount should be increased one
half, that is where two pounds Of
sodium chlorate would be used,
three pounds Of calcium chlorate
or Atlacide would be applied. If
one is using sodium chlorate in the
orchard or wherever there IS q
fire hazard, we would not recon-
mend its use unless one pound Of
calcium chloride is used for each
two pounds sodium chlorate. The
usual dilution is one pound Of
chlorate to one gallon Of water.
Where the larger amount Of chlor-
ates are used, however, the con-
centration may be increased, that
is up to two pounds Of chlorate
may be used per gallon of water.
Under field conditions the dilution
is not so important. Under or
chard conditions we would urge
the use Of only enough spray so
luton to thoroughly wet the tops
and getting as little as possible
upon the soil. This is to prevent
feeder roots Of the orchard trees
from taking up the poison.
Observations Of the last three
years have led up to the conclu-
sion that two or three successive
light applications are better than
one heavy application. It would be
our opinion that the first applica-
ton made anytime from the time
a plant is in bloom and for pos
sibly two or three weeks after this
should make use Of about two
thirds Of the amount Of material
recommended above. If good leaf
growth is made within month
following this we believe that one
half of all the remainder Of the
material could be put on in a sec
.ond application, this being paitic-
ularily applicable to the weeds
which are most easily killed. In
the case of weeds such as The mus
tards and even morning glory, we
believe that third application as
late in the fall as it is possible to
determine the outlines of the

The use of clorates in the con-
troll of the perennial weed prob
lem has given varying results not
only in this county but in other
irrigated sections. 1t does seem to
offer, however, the most economi-
cal method of control of the prob
lem. It is important if the cost OF
control is to be kept down, that
the weeds be identified when they
first make their appearance SO
that control measures can be APP
piled before the areas become big
or very much scattered. One or
two new weeds have been discov-
cred this year which are sure to
become troublesome if not taken
care Of.
The chlorate method of control
is the application, either in spray
or dust form, directly to the weed
or to the soil in which the weed
grows, Of either sodium chlorate
or Atlacide, which is known
or Atlacide, which is a trade name
for d combination Of 9th e I
materials which reduce the fire
hazard. Sodium chlorate may be
mixed with calcium chloride and
thus bring the same RESULTS ac-
cording to the best information
available at this time. Two pounds
of sodium chlorate with one pound
Of Calcium chloride should be
equivalent to three pounds Of At
lacide. The material to he used
should depend upon the cost and
the convenience of the material. 1t
would seem advisable to use Alta
eide whenever the weeds are pres
ent in small areas and whelevsr
the chlorate is to be used in the
orchard. There is q possibility,
however, if sodium chlorate and
calcium chloride can be secured
at p much less cost than the alta
ti6e, to use this combination in the
orr hard.
Various weeds will require diff
ferent quantities Of the chemical.
Star thistle, Russian knappweed
are comparatively easily killed.
while Siberian mustard and hoary
cress will require, according to our
observation, a much heavier APP
plication. Our observations have
led us to recommend two pounds of
sodium chlorate per square rod as
maximum amount required for
the control of star thistle, Canada

There are grasses, such as quacI
