When max plants are "a" tail. Do
not treat in bud or bloom stage.
When weeds are very young. Flax
6-1O true leaves.
Same as for ANIMALS or cereals.
For the weeds, the bud stage is the
best for root kills. Earlier spraying
will give the grain better chance
to develop without being crowded
by the weeds.

Remarks

Esters are more effective on most
weeds, but are also harder on the
crop. Young weeds growing under
good moisture conditions are more
susceptible than older weeds or
weeds growing under low moisture
conditions.
Use water as a carrier. 2, AID esters
are not recommended.
Treat on warm 1920 degree days on
young succulent weeds. Use a mimi
mum of so gallons water per acre,
75-100 gallons are preferable.
Canada thistle, perennial SOW thistle,
blue lettuce, wild morning glory,
white top and leafy spurge. Objec-
tive is to knock down perennials and
prevent seed set. Higher rates should
be used where weed root kill is de-
sired. Leafy spurge will probably
not suffer stand reduction but tops
can be knocked down.

early this year. Secret Service agents checked

DIRECT HOUSING LOANS TO VETERANS

The National Housing Act, passed by the S e n a e some weeks ago and as reported out of Committee to the House last week carries a provision to re- new direct loans to veterans. This was discontinued on June 30 of this year when the De fense Production Act of 1850 came to an end.
 The new bill would be in effect until June 30, 1853, with no additional appropriations to be made as it is estimated S3O million remain in the fund from last years appropriation.
 The provision as it now ap- pears in the Defense Housing Act was included in the bill on the Senate side through an amendment offered by Senator Sparmnan.
