Chemicals are gradually taking
place of Importance in the con-
troll and eradication of weeds. How
ever, growers should not be misled
to believe that chemicals will work
miracles. Use of chemicals should
supplement cropping methods, ctll-
tivation, corp rotation, and the ef-
feet of chemicals upon the soil
should be definitely known when
they are used"
These statements were made to-
day by DR.. w. w. Robbins, profess
sor of botany, in the branch of
the college of agriculture, Univer-
sity of California, in discussing the
employment of chemicals in CON-
batting the weed problem "True
1t is" he said, there are number
of chemicals, which if applied in
sufficient quantities will kill even
the worst weeds, and ali other veg
citation. AS a rule, applications
which do this also render the soil
more or less sterile, and untitled
tor crops tor a year or more"
There are weea situations, ac-
cording to Professor Robbins, where
chemical methods are practicable
On irrigation bitches, canal banks,
roadsides, places more or less in
accessible to cultivating implements,
patches containing high pernicious
weeds, which threaten to spread
over valuable farm land, Use of
chemicals may be profitably en-
ployed, advises DR.. Robbins.
Principal chemicals employed as
herbicides are oils, chiefly the
cheaper grades such as diesel oil,
CELEBRATES, carbon bisulphide, ana
certain compounds of arsenic. They
are classified, says Dr. Robbins, ac-
cording to the effect which they
produce on plants.
"The herbicides," says Professor
Robbins, (which are applied to the
tops and which do not affect che
roots or rootstocks of perennials,
are employed to kill ANIMALS, and
to prevent the seeding of biennials
and perennialS. For this purpose
oils are used most extensively. as
is sulphuric acid, but difficulties
are being experienced in develop
ing equipment to apply the latter
chemical.
"Then. there are herbicides which
are applied to the tops, and which
not only kill top growth, but are
carried down to various depths to
destroy roots or rootstocks. The
