along the ocean bottom, prying the abalone

Warm temperatures for a period pre-
ceding the treatment date will, when
accompanied by good soil moisture,
aid in increasing weed susceptibility
to 2,4-D.
Most weeds require much smaller
amounts of 2,4-D for control when
they are small than after they have
started to form seed pods. 2,4-D will
give the best results when applied
as soon as possible after the crop has
reached the desired size and weed
termination has been completed.
Variations in Tolerance
There is a large difference in the
tolerance of broad = leaved weed
species to 2,4-D. Many of the weeds
most common in winter wheat are
very susceptible to 2,4-D. Some of
these are fanweed, wild mustard,
hare's ear mustard, and Jim Hill
mustard. Those which can be con-
trolled but which are not as sus-
ceptible are red root pigweed, Rus
sian thistle, lambs quarter and wild
buckwheat. Cookie has shown itself
to be quite resistant to 2,4-D.

Don't Spray, Dust Too Early
Conditions Are Different This Spring
By ROBERT L. WARDEN, Extension, Experiment
Station Weed Specialist

NOW THAT THE calendar says
spring is here and the occasional
nice days further bear out the fact,
everybody realizes that the time for
weed control operations is nearly
here.
The first crop which will receive
z,4-D treatments in the state this
spring is winter wheat. There are
several important differences exist
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-15

there will be no overall benefits
derived from spraying.
The differences between this year
and last are important but are not
the only factors to be considered
before deciding to treat with 2,4-D.
If the decision to treat has been
made on the basis of the weed pop
ulation, there is a need to know the
conditions surrounding treatment
which will affect expected results
and largely determine rate of 2,4-D
needed.
Conditions Affecting Results
The most important of these con-
ditions which affect results are: ID
speed of plant growth, (2) stage of
plant growth, 90 plant species and
"a environmental factors surround
ing treatment.
The speed of the weeds growth is
largely determined by two condi-
tons which are easy to note. These
conditions are soil moisture and tenn
perature. Good soil moisture will re-
suit in rapidly growing succulent
plants which are more susceptible to
2,4-D than are plants growing in dry
soil. Plants growing slowly in dry
soil require higher rates of 2,4-D.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-15

Since neither weeds nor winter
wheat got much of a start last
year. it will be important this
spring not to treat TOO soon:
l. Not before the wheat has
reached tillering stage.
2. Not before weeds have ger
minated.
Don't treat at all unless weeds
are bad enough TO reduce yields.
Recommended rates for l949 are
8 to rs pound of parent acid per
acre for annual weeds, s. TO l
pound or more for spot treatment
of perennials.
Best results will be obtained if
treatment is applied when weeds
are in early stages and growing
fast under conditions of adequate
moisture and warmer tempera-
lures.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-15

that this years winter wheat has
made much less growth to date than
the 1948 crop at the same date. AS in
spring wheat, winter wheat needs a
certain amount of growth before
2,4-D treatment will be entirely sue
cessful. 1t appears that much of the
winter wheat which made little
growth last fall will be damaged
severely if 2,4-D treatments are to
be made as early as many were in
1948.
Don't Treat Too Soon
This wheat should be allowed to
develop tillers OF produce three or
four inches of new growth before
treatment is made. The visible dam
ages which may result from too
early treatment are head and leaf
distortions and delayed maturity
with a resultant reduction in yield.
Head distortions are evidenced by
twisted heads with blank meshes or
spikelets and by doubles of either
heads or meshes. This doubling does
not result in an increase in yield.
Tightly curled leaves and heads UNI
able to emerge from the root are
signs of leaf distortion.
Delayed maturity in 1948 did not
seriously affect yields because of the
generally good late rainfall owe most
of the winter wheat area. In a year
of average rainfall Oh less, a delay
in maturity can result in serious
yield reductions.
The other major difference be-
tween the 1948 and the 1949 winter
wheat crops is the difference in the
number of weeds appearing in the
fall. In the fall of 1947 many weeds
terminated, lived over the winter,
and when spring growth started,
were well along. This year because
Of the dry conditions existing last
fall few weeds terminated.
Spring Weed termination
Observations made by Jim Krall
of the central Montana experiment
station at MOccaSln nave indicated
that when a large number of winter
annual weed seeds terminate in the
fall there will be little spring ger
mination and also that when there is
little fall termination a large spring
termination of these weeds car be
expected.
Too early treatment may miss the
spring termination and as a result
much of the value which could b.
obtained from spraying would b.
lost.
AT this point il is well to empha
size that weeds must be present i
sufficient number to reduce yield
before treatment will pay for itsel

NOW HITTING THHsR STRIDE


For century at least, writer's, up to
decade or so ago, had been glamorizing
South Sea Islands in stories and articles.
Yet, in the United States in the chain of
Florida Keys, climate and other conditions
are similar to what they are in the South
Sea Islands.
But while the islands were being
glamorized, little was said about the Flori-
da Keys. Half century ago, the lower and
upper chain of Keys, aside from Key West,
were almost uninhabited. Key Largo had
few families that earned livelihoods out
of farming, and fewer still were on Planta-
ton Key and the Matecumbes. In the
lower chain, the number of families were
far fewer, with some on Sugar Loaf and
No Name Key.
The Keys perked up bit when the
railroad began to run through them in
1912. But the growth was so slow it was
barely noticeable, year after year.
A change for the better began to mani
fest itself about decade ago, and has now
reached a scale of fairly rapid growth.
Millions of dollars have been spent on the
Keys since the beginning of this decade
County Tax Assessor Gandolfo, in story
published in The Citizen last Friday, said
he estimated that 100000 was spent in
construction on the Keys in the last year
In his statement, he pointed out that along
lateral road after lateral road that he went
over he saw buildings in course of con-
struction. That condition proves what The
Citizen has said on several occasions
build lateral or feeder roads on the Keys,
and developments are sure to follow.
The Keys, in both areas, are now pro-
crossing in stride that has not been evil
dent there at any other time. They have
been discovered" by tens of thousands of
people who have travelled on the Overseas
Highway, and their development will con-
tinue to increase at rapid pace.

During the war, radio sets made for
the Army Air Forces were equipped with
device for exploding them in order to
prevent the enemy from capturing and
using them.
The other day, when Navy veteran
purchased war surplus radio set in
Michigan, he Immediately recognized the
detonator and notified police. Investiga-
tons showed that about 1900 of the ra-
dios had been sold with enough ex-
plosive to blow mans head off,
An immediate alarm was sounded and
sellers of the sets sent warnings to ev-
erybody who bought by mail. Mean
while, the Michigan State police awaited

do" and warned the public, in the mean
time. not to monkey with" the sets.

SAYS BEES TALK BY DANCING

We are quite prepared for new reve-
lations from scientists, and not yet ready
to assert that anything the scientists say is
incorrect.
Somewhat surprising is the recent
declaration: of DR.. Karl Bon. Frisch. Aus
trian scientist, who declares, after forty
years observation of bees, that he has
succeeded in understanding the rudimen-
tary principles by which bees convey in
formation to each other.
A hive, according to the good doctor.
may contain 10000 bees. Of these, about
six will be old insects, who range far and
wide in search of food. When they find
food, they report back to the hive and
communicate to the other workers the
distance to fly, the direction to fly and
how to recognize the flowerbed already
picked.
This information, according to DR..
Frisch, is given by means of dance
described as either "wiggle-waggle, or
a round" dance. This discloses the direc-
ton to the nectar cache through the
prevailing orientation'' of the dancer.
The distance to the find is given by the
number of wiggles" in the dance.
We have no information upon which
to dispute the conclusions of the student of
bees and, certainly, we have not observ-
ed the insects for anything like forty
years. Nevertheless, despite our admira-
ton for science and scientists, we make
some reservations about the Importance
of the "wiggle-waggle" and the prevail
| ing orientation" of the dancing bees.
