Garden Hints

New Haven, Conn, June Tine home owner and backyard gardener have been hearing a lot lately about new selective weed killers which control pest plants but do not harm useful vegetation. According to E. M. Stoddard, plant pathologist at the Conn. Agricultural Experi- ment Station, such herbicides can be very useful on lawns but, thus far, have little place in the home garden.
 The best known and most general ly useful of the selective weed kill lers is FAD, sold commercially

should not be used for any other crops, however. On carrots, these oils should be put on before the seedlings reach the two true-leaf stage. Otherwise, the flavor of the vegetables may be impaired.
 For nuisance plants like poison ivy and sumac, growing in isolated places away from useful plants, common commercial borax offers excellent control. It should be ap- piled to the soil where the weeds are growing. Two preparations with the trade names, "Atlacide" and Animate" will also eradicate these weeds. These should be sprayed on the foliage. In using any of these three materials, precautions should be taken not to get them on useful plants.
 The utmost care should be taken in cleaning the sprayer after us- ing any of these weed killers. It should be washed several times with clean water to prevent in- jury to crop and ornamental plants from residues left anywhere in the sprayer. The safest pro- cedure, MT. Stoddard suggests, is to reserve a small hand sprayer to be used only for weed control. In the case of 2,4-D, sprinkling pot is an excellent means of applying the material to lawns. This, too, should be used only for applying weed killers.

under several different trade names. This material is excellent for weed control on lawns since it
 kills long list of broad-leaved
 weeds, but is not injurious to gras-
 ses, with the exception of Rhode
 Island bent grasses. Among the
 weeds which 2,4-D effectively con- trol are: bull thistle, wild carrot, chickweed, cinquefoil, white clover, cress, dandelion, dock, fleabane, gill-over- -the-ground, heal-all, Japa- nese honeysuckle, knotweed, mustard, wild onion, pigweed, pep pergrass, plantain, purslane. shep-
 herds-purse, speed-wall, fals e
 strawberry, ragweed, and veronica. FAD is not very good for control of poison ivy and sorrel. It should not be used near vegetables or flowers since it will kill these plants.
 One place where selective weed
 killer may be used in the garden
 is in the carrot, parsley or celery
 bed. Various oils, among them No. 2 fuel oil, white kerosene and Stod-
 dard's solvent, will kill weeds 1Ssswtt will not harm the young seedlings

Paint Chips of Metal Roof.


Question: I have metal (tin
or galvanizeD roof on one-story
| room. Although 1t was once painted
| with red lead, the metal was APP
parently not properly treated, for
| it has given trouble ever since,
chipping and rusting. I have tried
several different treatments, but
the row shows signs Of recurring
| trouble.
A friend has told me that a
similar case was taken care of by
first removing the loose paint with
a wire brush and the whole sur
face given q coat of asphalt paint.
There was no trouble since then.
/ cannot locate any one who makes
or sells asphalt paint. Can you
tell me where to get 1t and what
chances I would have Of success
in using it?
| Answer: I believe that your
friends method would work out
very well in your own case. 1t
would be best to remove all the
old paint first, however. The as
phalt paint should be on sale at
a store that sells roofing supplies

Hopes for Industrial Peace.
Rather significantly however, the new

angle in a brief talk to the Arkansas

shotguns, DR.. Steelman said that he
hopes and believes that Mr.. Labor
and Mr. Management have settled most
Of their big arguments now and they
will work together to scare out that
rabbit"
For the moment, that hope seems in
fair way to be realized, but if the near
future brings the breakdown in OPA
controls for which fears have been ex-
pressed. and price boosts are followed
by new wage demands, DR.. Steelman will
have his hands full. Nobody realizes
that better than the new reconversion
boss who constantly must have an eye
out for inflationary trends as he seeks
to keep everybody happy.
Steelman is not worried about the pos

keep production up, but he told his fel-
