NEW WEED KILLER

NEW WEED KILLER
A NEW NON-SELECTIVE weed
killer is now available for use in
locations where a relatively long
period of sterilization is desired and
where fire hazard is a special prob
lem. Known as Chlorax Spray Pow
der, this herbicide was developed
by Chapman Chemical Co.
Although Chlorax contains sodium
chlorate combined with a special
form of borate), it does not have
the fire hazard normally associat-
ed with CELEBRATES. Also, it does not
create danger of poisoning to graz
ing livestock under normal condi-
tons of use.
Chlorax is designed to kill both
deep and shallow-rooted weeds and
grasses. 1t is especially recommend
ed for use along fence rows, ditch
banks, road sides, around buildings,
granaries and other places where
a long-lasting residual effect is an
advantage. At lighter dosages, it is
used as a contact spray for quick
Touchdown of annual vegetation.
