Us The Weeds
Control of Wild
Morning Glory
BY K. L. WARDEN

WILL MOh1N11Nds 0AOIl - dlSO
known as creeping jenny or bind
weed, probably occupies more crop
land in the state than any of the
other perennial noxious weeds
This plant has infested large acre
ages of both dry and irrigated crop
land in almost all sections of the
state and is rightly known as one
of the most serious of the perennial
noxious weeds occurring in the en-
tire country because of its ability to
spread and do well under many con-
ditions and its persistence once it
has become established.
Before the introduction of 2,4-D
many thousands of acres of good
cropland were abandoned because of
morning glory infestations. Morning
glory completes very strongly with
crop plants being grown, and often
causes complete crop failures in
dense infestations.
Long DormancY of Seed
The seed of the wild morning
for long period of time. One re-
cent technical article by F. L. Tim
mons of the USDA reported a field
in which morning glory seedlings
were still coming 81 years after the
old plants had been eradicated.
With such long period of seed
dormancy it is necessary to start con-
troll work at once or at least prevent
seed production. If seed production
is prevented some gain has been
made. Morning glory can spread rap
idly by its lateral root system as
well. In addition, root sections can
be easily moved with tillage equip
ment and can start new patch
where they are dropped.
Wild morning glory has been con-
trolled satisfactorily in large areas
by using weed control tillage meth
DDS. Much wild morning glory has
been eradicated in this manner
However, the tillage practice must
be followed rigidly before the weed
is controlled satisfactorily.
Two years or more will be re-
quired to eradicate wild morning
glory by tillage.
Control by 2.4-D
Application of 2,4-D has been eff
fective in controlling wild morning
glory and in many cases has given
up to 80 percent root kill from one
treatment. The light rates of 2,4-D
used for selective grain spraying will
kill the tops and give some root Kill
occasionally.
However, for the best root Kill
higher rates are required. Rates o.
from l to 2 pounds acid per acre
will give the best results. With {
3.34 pound per gallon ester being
used, 21a to 5 pints per acre will bt

summer fallow will be very effective
when the treated areas are not cult
waited for about two weeks following
treatment. Repeated applications tn
same year will also be desirable
regrowth occurs. Late summer treat
ment can be very damaging to tn
morning glory plant.
Wild morning glory can b
sprayed effectively from just befor
the bud stage to late blossom if tn
plant is growing under good moistur
conditions. Treating under less fa

so susceptible to 2,4-D has probably
reduced its hazard to land owners
considerably, but the fact remains
that present infestations will con-
tinue yields and get larger year by
year unless some control measures
are taken. Having but not using
available control methods will not
help win the war on weeds.
Small infestations can be con-
trolled economically and effectively
by use of the soil sterilants such as
sodium chlorate or borax.
Soil sterilization if properly done
will give one treatment control and
eliminate the need for refreshments.
Apply the soil sterilant at least six
feet outside the last visible plant so
that the underground runners will
be killed.

Help Speed State
Scale Testing

son will be upon us before we realize
it. Then the matter of having the
stock scales inspected and sealed by
the state division of weights and
measures will be of utmost impor-
lance and everyone will want his
scale inspected right away
But the job of testing all the scales
in the state is big for the limited
personnel we are able to put in the
field. A time and mileage-saving
schedule must be formulated and adj
hered to as closely as possible. A
special trip to test one scale often
takes as much time as required to
test dozen on the regular schedule.
Have Scales Ready
Scale owners can help materially
by cooperation in having the scales
ready for inspection when the scale
inspector calls. Remember, it is his
duty to test the scale and approve
or reject it, not to repair or clean it
up so that it can operate correctly.
If all owners will report to the
division of weights and measures,
department of agriculture, Helena,
all new scales installed and scales
that were not tested last year-in
order that they may be included in
our schedule, it will be very helpful
and will make for better service and
greater satisfaction.
5000 10 Be Tested
There are more than 5000 scales
in the state to be tested. It is a big
job and the full cooperation of all
scale owners is necessary in order
that we may be able to do reason
ably good job with the personnel
and equipment we have to do the
job.
Sometimes scales are not Access
sible to the scale inspectors truck.
No provision has been made by
gates and approaches to make it pos
sible to unload the test weights from
the truck onto the scale. If few
50-pound weights have to be carried
by hand, a thorough reliable test
cannot be made and we must refuse
to service such scales.
Watch for Seal
Reliable scales are made to weigh
correctly and will do so when proper
ly installed and cared for. The U. S
bureau of standards set up specifica
tons and tolerances that have beer
adopted by the state of Montana anc
must be met in order to earn "sea
of approval from the deputy scale
of weights and measures. Do not b.
content to sell your high priced live
stock over scales that do not carr,

The Crusade for Freedom - a
national campaign to let all
Americans affirm their belief in
Democracy - has been officially
opened in Maryland. The Crusade
is being led by Brigadier General
William C. Purnell, executive Off
Ger of the Goth Division, and a
number of outstanding regional
leaders in all parts of the State.
This Crusade gives every in
dividual an opportunity to sign a
Freedom Scroll stating Il believe
in the sacredness and dignity of
the individual. l believe that all
men derive the right to freedom
equally from God. pledge to re-
sist aggression and tyranny
wherever they arrear on earth"
Headquarters for the campaign
have been established in the
Southern Hotel, Baltimore 3,
Maryland, and all people who are
interested in signing Freedom
Scrolls, or in circulating these
scrolls among their friends and
neighbors are urged to write to
Crusade headquarters Immediately
Thousands of Freedom Scrolls
will be circulated throughout the
State to businesses, social organ
izations, veterans groups and in
dividuals during the next few
weeks. During the week of Octo
Der 1, special emphasis will be
put on the signing of these dec
larations of belief in Freedom. On
Sunday, October 8, Churches of
all denominations will feature SER
mons on the Freedom of Religion
"a Freedom which had it's birth in
Maryland more than 300 years
ago.
"By joining this Crusade, all of
US can do a real job of combating
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1950-10-05

the lies that the Russians have been
telling the world, General Purnell
said, "and every signature on the
Freedom Scrolls will be enshrined
in the base of a Freedom Bell that
is to be dedicated in Berlin, Ger
many, on United Nations Day,
October 24".
A lotion Freedom Bell rs now
making a tour of the country. 1t
will be on display in Washington
and Baltimore on October 1st and
End and then will be shipped to
Germany for its official dedication.
When the bell is put in place on
October oath, it will ring out the
sound of liberty and freedom to
the entire world.
While the Crusade for Freedom
is a campaign to gain the sig
natures of millions of Americans,
and is designed to give all indi-
yiduals a chance to express their
belief in our way Of life, those who
sign Freedom Scrolls may also
make contributions to help finance
the privately sponsored broadcasts
of Radio Free Europe.
Radio Free Europe is now
broadcasting the truth about the
democracy to nations behind the
Iron Curtain. 1t is supplementing
the Voice of America, and because
it is privately sponsored, Radio
Free Europe is able to tell many
things that cannot be broadcast BY
an official branch of the govern.
ment.
At present there is one Radio
Free Europe broadcasting station,
but it is hoped that the generosity
of freedom-loving people will pro-
vide the means for establishing six
or seven more stations by the first
part of next year.

Women Better Drivers
In '49, Figures Show

Statistically speaking, Washing
ton women were better drivers
than the men in 1949.
Police records show that women
drivers were involved in only two
of the II fatal accidents last year
OF the 11,606 accidents reported
here during the first II months of
1949 the drivers were overwhelm-
ingly men.
The figures for the year are not
exceptional, either. During the
last four years, only five women
drivers were involved in fatal ac-
cidents.
However, Inspector Arthur E.
Miller of the police traffic divi-
sion is as ready as any other man
to look behind the statistics to
defend masculine drivers.
Women don't drive trailer
trucks or buses" he points out.
Furthermore, statistics compiled
on a national basis show the aver
age woman driver travels $500
miles a year, and the average man
logs $500 miles year. Women
usually don't drive when the
weather is bad, either"
