Saves 34-BusheLPer-Acre Wheat Crop

units because of their rugged con-
struction and power to put the
chemical where you want it and
how. Chemical and water are very
hard on pumps, therefore the heavy
construction of thigh pressure pumps.
By the regulation of pressure and
speed you can apply as low as n
gallon of water per acre-a vital
item in this dry area. I used three
gallons per acre last year with very
good results and intend to reduce
this somewhat this year. The best
feature of all is the fog mist it pro-
duces to envelop the whole plant
with absolutely no loss on the
ground. Some have complained of
wind drift but we have reduced this
by use of controls of our own MAX
ing. We can spray in a pretty stiff
wind.
l used a high pressure unit and
the anime salts on any morning
glory at the rate of one pound 2,4-D
parent acid to three gallons of water.
l had about 40 acres with most of
it so thick with morning glory that
I was unable to produce a crop for
several years. I tried summer fallow
for four years, but due to our wet
ter seasons they did better than ever
before. 1 had done some hand spray
ing on spots in the wheat field and
had good results, so / concluded
I would seed this 40 acres to VIM
ter wheat to draw out the moisture.
Morning G1ories Checked
I had intended to seed it for hay
but when I saw such a nice stand of
wheat up to my knees I determined
l would try spraying it first. 1t was
so thick I couldn't see how a spray
could get through to the morning
glory. They were thick, too, and
climbing all over the wheat. Favor
able moisture is all that kept the
wheat going.
We sprayed with a hand machine
at about 700 pounds pressure. 1t was
quite a job, but we stayed with it
until we had the whole field COW
cred. About a week showed some
signs of whitening and two weeks
did the job. That field make "a

would not have produced a bushel
But the job still isn't finished be-

the field of farming and many of us
oldtimers at the game won't know
what it is all about in a very few
years. Chemistry and its mysteries
are taking over to completely change
plant life.
Of interest to us is the eradication
of weeds, and we know now it's one
more yearly overhead expense that
is a must in our operation such as
hail and other insurance has be-
come.
My experience has been with
morning glory and the ANIMALS such
as fan weed, mustard etc. We think
we know that perennials require
twice the dosage of ANIMALS, so I
will start with fan weed. 1t makes
no difference whether you use a
gallon, quart or pint per acre of the
spray material you buy unless you
know the pound content of 2,4-D
parent acid in the gallon. I have
definitely set my standard for this
year at least at " pound of 2,4-D
parent acid per acre for ANIMALS
whether it is in one pint or one gal
Ion of the carrier fluid. Double this
for perennials.
Ester VS.. Anime Salts
Around here the carrier fluid most
generally advocated is. the ester,
while across our state border anime
salts will be most in use and that
with one pound 2,4-D parent acid per
acre. Why so much 2,4-D variation
nobody knows. The ester has a fast
whitening action, and its effect on
weeds is noticeable in a few days,
but there is some doubt if the acid
reaches the roots sufficiently for a
kill if a good rain should come
shortly after application. It's use
when weeds are well advanced is
very effective to stop moisture
drawing of the weed plant. Most
esters contain Al pound 2,4-D par
ent acid to the pint and may or may
not be sufficient for the best kill
Anime salts make a clear solution
when mixed with water and need
no agitation. It's killing action is
slower because of its travel through
the plant to the roots before show.
ing effect on the leaf. Because Of
this, application should be made
early when the plant is small ano
not drawing soil moisture. Its effect
is not noticeable for a week and i
usually takes two weeks for the kill
but its action is positive. A pint O.
this solution contains " pound
2,4-D parent acid. 1t is one of the
best for perennial eradication.

Bonnie Hunter is
Winning Battle

Contributions for the Bonnie
Hunter fund totaled $1,037.49 Sat-
urday, but more money is needed
to help the local fve-year-old child
in her fight for her life. You can
help by sending your contribution
to the Ottawa County News.
Bonnie, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Hunter, Erie Gard
ems, underwent a series of blood
transfusions last week. She is re-
ported to be very much improved
in Women's and Children's hospit-
al, Cincinnati. Her parents state
that she looks better and is more
active.
Suffering from rare kidney di-
sease, Bonnie will be tapped this
week when all liquids will be
drained from her system. She will
be inoculated with serums COM
batting the disease.
If satisfactory results are shown
after a thorough x-ray, Bonnie
will be returned home for short
rest period and to await healing
of a leg infection, after which she
will be returned to the hospital
for further treatment.

CATTAIL FUND
NEARS $1,000 AS
CAMP AICN ENDS
Lakefront Improvement Con-
tinues AS Long AS Weather
Permits

Although the Bury the Cat
tails" campaign was brought to a
close Saturday night with the
bingo party in the armory, dona-
tions will continue to be accepted
by committeeman William Crohen
at the waterworks and Eugene
Bolte at Bolte Realty office.
Total receipts thus far are
$6,795.S3 and checks are still
awaited from several pledges. At
the armory party Saturday night
receipts totaled $249.23.
Of the total amount, $2,625
have been expended for loads of
dirt and for the drag-line opera
tions which started Tuesday.
There remains over $4,000 for fur
ther purchases of dirts to con-
tinue the lengthy lakefront fill.
st. Clair Brothers are using the
drag line to construct another cut
east of Washington street, running
north to the lake. Dirt from this
operation also is being used for
fill along the lake.
An earlier dredge cut, between
Washington and Fulton, is being
filled with rubbish and covered
with dirt. Mr.. Crohen said that
80 feet of this cut is already filled
and that the fall rubbish cleanup,
soon due, will add further.
AS long as weather conditions
permit, the loads of dirt will be
brought in to further beautify
the lakefront. Next spring the
work will continue.
Before the armory party Satur-
day night, Paul Cochran's Major,
cites, the high school band, and
Port Clinton National Guardsmen
participated in a parade which was
shortened by the rainfall.
Members of the "Buy Load of
Dirt" committee this week ex-
pressed their thanks and apprecia-
ton to everyone who helped to
support the worthy cause.

LAST RESIDENCE IS MOVED TO
MAKE ROOM FOR NEWEST STORE

Progress has no room for senti-
mentality, the ancient is replaced
by the infant and the cycle begins
anew.
Another step in the forward pro-
gress of Port Clinton's business
district took place Wednesday-one
of the teeth is missing in the city's
welcoming face, but a prosthetic
replacement will soon fill the gap.
Sandusky moving experts came
here early that morning, placed
planks and rollers under an old
friend and yanked it from 124
Madison street where the Edmund
Wenger homestead had watched
Port Clinton grow for nearly 80
years.
Yes, there's no room for senti-
ment when progress is indicated
but there were silent tears among
the spectators who watched the
moving process.
For others, the episode brought
back memories of days gone by
the Good Old Days when there
were no paved streets in the city,
when autos, radios, airplanes were
figments of a screwball's magma
tion, when horses and wagons were
the mode of transportation and
steaks were plentiful at Is cents
pound.
Another phase of Port Clinton's
history is closed with the removal
Of the Wenger homestead from the
business district-it had stood lone
ly and proud among store buildings
for many years. 1t was the last
of the Madison street homes.
Purchased during the summer by
A. S. Pitman and Frank Quisno,
the house was moved to Elm street
where it will be remodeled for
dwelling purposes. Albert Wenger
was the last occupant of the build
ing, where his mother had lived for
81 years. 1t was constructed dur
ing the Civil War by James Kas-
par's father.
The new home of the A. S. Pit
man novelty store will be construc-
ted in the lot now vacated. 1t will
be modern structure to help beau
tify the business district. Progress
marches on.

old CAR Line IS.
PURCHASED FOR
LAKESIDE ROAD
Property Owners Buy Inter
urban Right-of-Way to Ease
Traffic Congestion

Abandoned in 1889 when passen-
ger service was discontinued, the
Ohio Public Service interurban car
line from the Barnholt Crossing to
Lakeside will be returned to use
fulness soon as abutting property
owners Monday night agreed to
purchase the right-of-way so that
a township road may be construct
ed.
H. A. Cowgirl, division manager
of the o. P. S., met with the prop
erty owners Monday night at the
Brown Boat Livery office. Pledges
We're received from the interested
parties, including the Kelley ISL
and Lime & Transport company.
Purchase price of the right-of way
was announced as $4,000.
Sponsors of the plan hope that
the proposed road will help to re-
lieve traffic congestion in that area
as accidents are frequent.
Recently more summer residents
have purchased waterfront prop
erty north of the right-of-way and
the proposed road will also aid in
development of the lakefront.
Purchase of the interurban line
is expected to be completed in the
near future. During the next year,
existing power lines will be re-
placed and the line cleared for the
road.
Property owners plan to present
the right-of-way to the county, SO
that a township road can be built
AS the property is already graded
and banked, cost should not be ex-
cessive, the sponsors believe.
