Weather C~omplicates
Weed Spraying

THE SMELL OF 2,4-D is floating
across the fields in every winter
wheat area and in some spring
wheat country at this writing. Near

spraying companies O working in
the state.
Biggest problem confronting farm
ers wanting to spray is the stage of
growth at which spraying should be
done. With the general recommended
ton against spraying in the boot

the forming head, many farmers are

Conditions early this spring were
generally too dry for effective spray

good stand of weeds or grain. Then
when the rain of a few weeks ago
