Experiments in the control OF
leafy spurge with ammonium sui
phamate indicate that these cheni-
Gals will give added kills when used
in combination with 2,4-D. High
dosages of ammonium sulphamate
are necessary for good results. AS
high as 95 percent control was real
lied after one application on one
farm near the Moccasin station The
high cost of the chemical may be
prohibitive in some instances, how
ever.
In two years of treatment in the
Bozeman station area, SO percent OF
the old leafy spurge plants was con-
trolled using pounds of 2,4-D and
100 pounds of ammonium sulpha-
mate per acre: Followup spraying
with 2,4-D to control seedlings will
be needed to get permanent control
of this weed.
Prochlor materials have given ex-
cellent results in preliminary tests
for control of white top and leafy
spurge by temporary soil steriliza-
ton. Best control has been obtained
on silt and clay soils with good
moisture content. Sodium chlorate
and borax or combinations of the
two are also excellent for killing
perennial weeds through soil steril-
ization.

wheat and smooth bronze will com

Latest in Weed, Bug Controls
Reported at Chemicals Meet

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS in in
secticides, herbicides and other agri-
cultural chemicals were discussed by
research workers reporting at the
annual meeting of the Montana
Agricultural Chemicals association
held in Lewistown, Oct. 81 and %.
Main item of business before the
group was consideration of the
Montana law concerning labelling of
agricultural chemicals. Final deci-
sion of the group was to ask spe-
cial legislative committee to study
means of repeating the present law
and sponsoring an adequate one with
definite provisions for enforcement.
New officers elected at the meet
ing We're Owen P. LAWN, Billings,
president; Charles A. Lynch, Bel
grade, vice president, and Robert J.
Warden, Bozeman, technical vice
president. Penn Stohr, Missoula, was
elected executive board member
from western Montana, Don Ross,
Great Falls, central Montana, and
r. L. Robbins, Glendive, eastern
Montana. L. A. Wollam, Great Falls,
presided over this years meeting.
Reports on Herbicides
Perennial and annual weed con-
troll methods with chemicals were
discussed by Robert J. Warden, ex-
tension weed specialist and James
Krall, assistant agronomist, Mon
tana experiment station, Moccasin.
A digest of their report on new
chemicals and experiments in the
control of these weeds follows:

weed that has been sprayed with
2,4-D is at the same time Compel
ing with a good grass, kills are in
creased beyond what could be ex-
pected by the application of 2,4-D
to weeds in fallow ground.
When perennial weeds have con-
siderable growth, volumes as low as
5 or 10 gallons total per acre, are
not as good as volumes of 20 gall
Ions per acre or higher.
Annual Weeds
Wheat sprayed during the known
d NJ erous periods of growth
showed definite yield reductions in
tests conducted at both Moccasin
and Bozeman in 1850. Wheat should
not be treated with 2,4-D before
stooling or after it has reached the
boot stage. Continuing tests have
further proved the fact that wheat
should not be sprayed if no weed
control problem exists because yield
reductions will occur.
Two years of tests at the Bozeman
station indicated that low volumes
of chemical carrier may not result
in as good yield responses as vol
umes of 10 gallons per acre or more.
Oil VS.. Wafer
Diesel fuel and water were COM
pared as low volume carriers for
2,4D and no differences were de-
tected. At the higher volumes of oil
used, leaf burn was severe but no
yield reductions resulted in the final
analysis.
Tolerant Varieties
The winter wheat variety Yogo
appears to be more tolerant to dam
age from z,4-D than Newturk,
Wasatch or Karmont. No varietal
differences have been noted be-
tween various varieties of spring
wheat, oats or barley after three
years of tests at both Moccasin and
Bozeman experiment stations. Da-
kota flax is more tolerant to 2,4-D
than Arrow or Renew.
SterilitY
Misapplication of 2,4-D has con-
tributed to spring wheat sterility of
heads noted in a few fields in the
northern part of the state in 1885,
Rescue wheat did not appear to be
more susceptible to damage than
other varieties. Definite causes of
this sterility damage have not been
| determined to date.
Seeding Grasses
Farmers or stockmen wishing to
treat seedlings grasses with 2,4-D
to help establish stands may benefit
from tests conducted by James Krall
at the Moccasin experiment station
His first years results indicated thai
| seedlings of Hopkins timothy, inter.

sure areas across the Canadian
prairie provinces when velocities of
Is miles per hour or higher may
prevail over the state for a day or
more.
An aspect of precipitation which
exerts an important influence on
the agriculture of Montana is noted
in the accumulation of snowfall on
key watersheds, variations of which
may effect the availability of water
for irrigation purposes. On the other
hand, torrential rains causing gully
ing of farm lands and even extern
sive floods are sometimes reported
in various parts of the state.
Damaging hail is also a somewhat
sporadic but rather unpredictable
precipitation factor over most of
the area.
often have an important effect upon
Montana agriculture, fact not al
ways fully appreciated. Most prac-
teal thinking in regard to the wealth
er is usually confined to the ade-
quacy or lack of rainfall. However,
the beneficial influence of optimum
and equable temperatures upon diff
ferent kinds of vegetation is often
observed under farm and ranch con-
ditions. Investigators of weather
crop yield relationships in this re-
gion find temperature variables as
well as those of rainfall of much
significance in estimating produc-
ton.
These brief remarks cover only a
few of the many general effects of
weather upon Montana agriculture.
While weather, which is the day to
day or short term expression of
climate, may be extremely erratic,
the actual climatic picture of the
state may be considered relatively
stable. Climatic changes of sufficient
magnitude to affect agriculture
markedly are not likely to take
place, at least within the lifetime
of an Individual.
Longtime Trends
OF course, trends in climate of one
kind or another are continually Ii
progress. Records from about 1871
until recently indicate there has beer
a tendency for slightly lower pre-
cipitation over the state. At the same
time mean temperatures appear t.
have been rising in keeping with tn
national trend. Glacial recession il
this region is also occurring How
ever, such trends in all probabilit,
merely represent longtime fluctua
tons of climate and do not neces
sarily suggest that significant pei
manent changes have taken place.
Evidence from growth of tree
antedating known weather record
indicates that conditions no doul
quite similar to those at the preseI
time have prevailed for the last se'
eral centuries. Characteristics of SO

This and That

In nature there Is an allowance for
destruction. 1t is said that only one cod
fish grows from 20 million eggs.
OF hornet nests made every year, many
will be knocked down and destroyed by
irate and frightened householders.
If they had waited little, and could
have understood the good the hornets do,
in destroying flies and others, they would
have done better by the world they live
in.
Hornets frighten too many people
They see the big paper nest, and i'm
mediately rush to the kill, or want some
one else to do 1t for them
Actually, the hornet nest, of any
variety, is both interesting and in
formative
In most cases, unless 1t is squarely in
doorway, the nest will result in no harm
to human beings
The creatures are much too busy in
their own living to bother with huge
living forms that have no relevancy in
their own world.
Wasps. bees and ants belong to the
same group.
Each has two pairs of wings which are
membraneous.

and living inyertebrate animals, including

No doubt it would be too much to ex-

It is only the female wasps, however,
that sting, since the stinger Is the owl

sting you, though the worker bees and
wasps may. The latter are really unde-

All ants. bees and waSps go through

GeneruIities of Criticism

In my opinion. the article, "Men Who
Need Friends" in this week magazine
for August 20, shows neither good report
ing by the author, nor sound Judgment
by the editors.
While the article says that the treat
ment of soldiers in Washington is better
than most cities. the author says
restaurant keeper in this town makes
soldiers wait for civilians rather than
serve customers as they arrive. There
may be such place in Washington, but
never have observed it.
In fact, this type of publication Is one
Of my pet peeves. To emphasize instances
of evil or wrong doing is to give support
to the human tendency to suspect the
worst rather than to realize that there
are daily uncounted and unreported in
stances Of good conduct which never get
a line.
We need more attention to the good
conduct Of men worth emulation.
