n Short Story
By ROBERT ZACKS

English when he saw my Spanish was
weak ''My house is yours
Thanks" said felt uneasy, some
how. Everybody moved as if in dream
and spoke lethargically and my voice
sounded little too loud.
I wanted to talk business desperately
but remembered Mr. Janeson's warn
ing, so / stuck close to Jack Peterson,
watching him like hawk.
Well, Jack Peterson didn't say word
about business; he just messed around
with the most time-consuming babble
about how pleasant the day was and
what a good host Mr. Uvaldos was IT
that was good enough for Jack that
was good enough for me, so I looked
around to throw few compliments,
too, and my eyes lighted on a painting,
a miniature of dog. 1t was brilliant
in coloring and perfect in detail; really

2,4-D IS Potent
Al Heavy Rates

USE OF HEAVY rates of 2,4-D acid
may be one answer to killing old stands
of broad-leaved perennial weeds in one
chemical treatment without costly side
effects.
The new treatment will eliminate old
stands after one spraying as compared
to many years of spraying at lighter
rates And the one-shot treatment is
economical
The one-time treatment does not
permanently sterilize the soil as do
many other chemicals crops can be
planted 8 months after using heavy
application of 2,4-D. Grass stands are
not damaged.
The method could be used to kill out
completely small patches of noxious
weeds in cropland before the weeds
had spread all over field. The small
areas treated would be out of produc-
ton only months.
Report of the new treatment comes
from Dale Belmont, agronomist at the
Wyoming College of Agriculture.
Belmont says research shows that
one treatment of 40 pounds of 2,4-D
acid an acre will control 81 per cent
of the Canada thistle and IS per cent
of the Russian knapweed. Eighty
pounds an acre will give complete con-
troll.
The heavier rates are 20 to 80 times
the amount normally recommended for
selective control. Belmont feels, how
ever, the better control from heavier
rates makes them worth consideration
under some conditions
The 40 to 80 pound per acre rate Of
2,4-D acid would cost Is to so cents q
square rod. Those costs, Belmont says,
still are one-fourth to one-half the pres
ent-day expense of using other chemi-
Gals in one-shot treatments.

After their meeting here the other
