The customary service was

several paragraphs which had
to be read four times rather

Weed Control For
County Discussed

"SNNS
increasing menace to Big Horn
county farms, according to Geo
rye w. Gus1afsCn, county eX-
tension agent. and farmers are
urged to adopt control measures
to prevent furtAer nieStatlOn.
Weeds which are becoming
more prevalent each year Were
listed by Mr.. GuStafSon as fol
lows:
/. Bind weed wild morning
glory or creeping Jenny IS per
hapS the most serious weed in
the county at present.
2. Russian knapWecd is ap-
pearing in some PAGES and is
almost as bad as bind weed.
3. Canadian thistle also pre-
sents a serious threat in some
sections.
4. White top has also appeared
in some parts of the county,
and is perhaps one of the worst
kinds of weeds that can grow
here. In some other sections Of
the state it has proved to be
very difficult to control.
Many farmers are realizing
the danger connected with this
weed infeStation, and are max
ing every effort at control. Some
methods which have been en-
ployed are:
1. Cultivation. On larger areas
the duck-foot or one-blade
Weeder is used to keep the sur
face black and prevent any
growth of weeds above the
ground. To be effective this
must be continued Tor at least
two years.
2. Treatment by CELEBRATES. In
areas of smaller 1nfestation,
such as small spots in the field
or along the roadside and
ditchbanks, atlacide or calcium
chlorate has proved to be very
effective. This material is av-
ailable at cost on application at
the county extension office. It
is recommended that atlacide
be applied late in august and
any time in SEPTEMBER before
a heavy frost. Farmers are
urged to make plans to use
atlacide this fall. For further
information call at the county
extension office.
3. Carbon bisulphide. This is
a comparatively new method of
treating weeds, but has been
very effective in Idaho and
other areas of serious weed in
festation. Carbon bisulphide is
a highly volatile liquid which
forms a gas when applied to
the soil. This gas gradually
spreads out, poisoning and kill
ing the roots underground. It is
a rather expensive method, but
very effective on small areas.
A demonstration showing all
these forms of control is being
conducted on the Jake Hardt,
Jr.. farm, owned by the Holly
Sugar Corporation, under the
supervision of the county ex-
tension office. Farmers interes-
ted in the control program are
urged to visit this demonstra-
ton and learn at first hand the
methods used and the results
obtained.

Must Arrange
For Wheat STORAGE

According to word received at
the local office of the Conser-
walton Association from Fred
Bullock, State Supervisor of
wheat loans, Montana elevators
will probably not be able to
qualify for the storage of wheat
on which loans will be issued by
the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton.
Apparently the only place
where storage will be approved
will be in the terminal elevat-
orS.
Farmers in this county should
therefore, make arrangements
to store wheat on which they
wish to borrow money, in ter
minal elevators.

Blue Light for Bugs

There is more to light, as artists and insects know, than mere colors in a rain bow or glass prism. Agricultural engi- neers in California are using plain blue light to save grapes, by turing leafhoppers to their death. They tried many colers and found that this particular blue had most attraction for the destructive hop pers, especially the lady-hoppers. The in- sects fly toward the light and are electro cuted by high tension wires. Different insects, the scientists find, are attracted by different colors. This is an easy, ef- fective way to kill bad insects that fly by night.
 John D. Rockefeller, the elder, thirty years ago, although he stopped short of color experiments, was pioneer in this field. Worried by moths that were de- stroying trees on his estate, he hung elec- tric lights around the place, with little pans suspended from them and contain Ing coal oil. The moths, lured by the light, flew against the bulbs and dropped Into the oil In the morning the pans would be full of them. It seems strange that his idea has not been carried farther.
