Consider Soil SteriIants
For Controlling Small
Perennial Weed Patches

About this time each year we
receive many inquiries on con-
trolling perennial weed patches.
For eradication of perennial
weeds in small patches we gen.
orally recommend that a soil ster-
liant be used to insure a thorough
kill.
Most of the soil sterilants on
the market are based on the
content of borax, sodium chlor-
ate, or 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-l, l.
dimethyl urea (Karmex or CMU).
Several combine these three
components in varying proper
tons. All are effective. Karmex
(CMU) has a long residual eff
feet and should not be used on
valuable cropland. High rates
(25 to 40 pounds) of 2,4-D are
also effective on some weeds.
Recommendations as to the rate
of chemicals to apply for diff
ferent noxous weeds may be OBJ
tanned at our office at the court
house.
Four pointers which may help
you to obtain better results in
e~radicating perennial weed patch
es are as follows:

Another case where early har-
vest is desired is when potatoes
have approached maturity and
late blight hits. When this con-
dition occurs the quicker the
vines are destroyed the better.
Potatoes can then be harvested
after a few days have been al
lowed for maturing, and the total
carry over of infection to the
tubers will be reduced and fewer
will rot in the bin.
incidentally some of the report
ed purple top infections this
year were actually early and late
blight. This is a disease which
is more prevalent on a warm
wet year.

SHEAF GRAIN: Go into the
field a few days before grain is
ready to cut with binder. Select
and with a knife cut samples
close to the ground SO as to get
the full length of the straw
being careful not to break the
straw in handling. Spread sam
pies on a board in the sun IL
bleach. See that samples nevef
get wet after being cut. When
green color is entirely gone and
straw perfectly dry, bind in
bundles, tying with a soft cloth
which will not cut straw. Make
bundles from three to five inches
in diameter, (9.4 inches minimum
in circumference just below the
head and tie snugly in at least
three places. Sheaves will be
Judged on the following basis:
Purity: True to variety, free from
mixture of weeds characteristic
rs points.
Quality and Condition: Should
be of good quality and uniform
in prime condition free from
rust - SIS points.
Arrangements: The sheaf ma
terial should be arranged prop
erly to present a near appear
ance - 20 points.
SHEAF FORAGE EXHIBITS:
Select the most leafy types to
be found in the field, the best
individual specimens obtainable
and cut close to the ground.
Place in loose bundles not more
than three to five inches In di-
ameter and wrap loosely in a
newspaper or ch~eesecloth. Then
hang, head down, in a dark
place to cure. Do not strip a
single leaf or branchlet from the
stem as forage should retain its
color and leaves. In making up
show bundles, select those lndi-
vidual stems that have retain
de the most and best leaves with
their color. Make bundles from
three to five inches in diameter
(9.4 inches minimum in circum-
ference) and tie securely in only
one place. Sheaves measuring
less than that will be eliminated
from competition.
Follow closely these amounts
as shown in your 1857 Fair Pre-
MUM Book.
Time to Harvest Potatoes
The time hOnored practice OF
harvesting after the first harvest
has its merits. Under some con-
ditions this should still be prac-
ticed. There are times and a COM
bination of factors which may
warrant earle Harvesting.
1 have seen fields which were
planted early enough to allow
to mature. The vines in
a state of half life. The price
for new potatoes higher than it
be at a later period. Yet
the idea of after frost harvesting
was keeping the owner from
advantage of the situation
by going to market with them.

BUYING TURKISH TOWELS

ID ~ LL0
If you buy turkish towels for
yourself or a gift there are sew
eral points to look for. Look for
a firm, close underweave for
strength and durability. Feel the
towel in your hand to compare
different weights and grades.
Since the selvage is a point of
wear, see that it is sturdy and hold
the towel to the light to reveal
any uneven, loose weave.
Because towels should be alb
sorbent, look for close, thick loops
for quick. drying. The towel most
comfortable for the user is a per-
sonal choice, but there are soft,
mediUm-soft and rough textures
to consider.
The size towel depends on the
purpose. Men usually prefer large
size towels. The regular size is a
convenient all-purpose towel. The
smaller towels are handy as face
or hand towels.
The ease of laundering may be
a factor you will want to think
about when purchasing towels.
You may want to choose sizes and
weights that are easy for home
washing and economical at laun-
dry pound rates.
Color and design depends on
bathroom decoration and color
harmony.
If you have a limited budget,
this will be a factor in choice to
towel quality, but buy the best
quality you can afford.
INTERFACINGS
Where and when do you need
interfacings when sewing at home?
You need reinforcement on all
edges where buttons and button
holes are to be placed. They are
also necessary around collars,
cuffs, pocket flaps and peplums.
You need them for the lower
part of a fitted jacket, on yokes
and skirt Wristbands.
The interfacing recommended
for the front closing of a jacket
should include the shoulder, arm
hole and the back of the neck.
This gives it a professional look.
If you expect to wash the gar
ment, use a washable interfacing.
Different interfacing fabrics are
suitable for different materials.
Use the one in keeping with the
materials.
Another point to consider is the
amount of stiffness or softness de-
sired. Shopping and experience
will teach you the effects you OBJ
tain with different combinations
of fabrics and interfacings.
BEHAVIOR IN CHILDREN
When a child's behavior is bad,
it probably stems from something
that is bothering him. Misbehavior
is not necessarily "meanness COM
ing out" but can be the result of
some inner problem the child has.
You may not be able to learn
what the problem is Immediately
but if the child knows you are
to understand, it is a help
to him.
The child's behavior is like a
that tells you something
Is wrong that you don't know.
Or by the same token it tells you
that everything is fine.
Understanding goes a long way
10 help the child. Maybe he feels
he has shortcomings and is trying
10 cope with them and feel he
worthwhile in spite of them.
Or maybe he can't cope with them
and reacts by behaving badly.
An understanding parent can
1elp the child maintain his bal
lnce and become adjusted to
his problem might be.
A parent who is ready to punish
him without finding out why he
can be a further
to his adjusting.
This is not to say that misbe-
should be condoned by any
means. But love and understand.
ng can many times accomplish
than punishment ever will.

apply all sterilants in the fall.
2. Always apply the sterilant
at least six feet outside the last
visible plant.
3. Some plants may escape in
jury. Retreat when they show
up. Seeds are not usually killed
and seedlings may become es-
tablished. They r easily killed
with 2,4-D when very young.
4. For areas where a long ster-
ilizing effect is desired, use Kar-
mex at rates of 4 to 8 ounces
per square rod.
Remember that it is more eco
nomical and requires a lot less
effort to control perennial weed
patches when they are small and
at this stage a soil sterilant car
be used. For further information
on perennial weed control l sug-
gest you obtain Montana Exien-
sion Service Bulletin No. 225 en-
titled Perennial Weeds and
Their Control" This bulletin can

Grain and Forage
Exhibits for the Fair

Since this is a grain producing
county many of you will be IN
terested in a few hints to help
in getting a good job done.
In judging threshed grain the
points most considered are very
similar to those of other seeds
displayed. They are purity, uni
formity, plumpness, and trueness
to varietal characteristics. Mix
ing of varieties presence Of weed
seed and other crop seed are
easily detected by the judge and
must be checked carefully by
the exhibitor.
In sheaf samples of grain and
peas, the evidence of high yield
ing ability and the condition of
the sample is regarded as i'm
portant. Sheaves of grain are not
judged on their forage value
for this reason it is desirable to
strip off the major portion of
dead and dry leaves. The head
area of the sheaf should be shaped
in a uniform compact manner.
Snowman have found that a CEN
trail core tied in the center of
the sheaf composed of approxi-
mately 1/3 of the total sample
makes shaping easier and con-
tributes to more rigidity in the
sheaf.
Sheaves are judged on purity,
quality and condition and on ar
rangement of the heads and
straw.
Steps in preparing samples are
as follows:
THRESHED GRAINS: Take
samples from bin of threshed
Sample should then be
cleaned, all grain
and weed seed being
removed with a grain grader or
by hand. Grain must have been
grown in 1856.

Accidental Shooting
Wounds Bill Stemple

William Stemple, Is, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Donald Stemple, of Oak
land is hospitalizcd as the result
of an accidental gun Shot wound,
but is improving rapidly.
The accident occurred when four
boys, Donald Stemple, jerry Wine,
Terry Colaw and Billy were shoot
ing at a target over at Crcllin
Saturday evening. One of the %
calibre rifles the boys had went
off accidentally and struck Billy
in the abdomen.
He was rushed to Garrett County
Memorial hospital in Oakland
where x-rays showed the bullet to
be lodged between the kindneys
and spine. Apparently the bullet
missed the kidneys and bladder
and touched no vital organs. Local
physicians and surgeons from the
hospital at Phillippi decided it
would be unnecessary to operate.
Billy was up yesterday and as
surcd that he could return to his
home in few days.

698 Bucks Slain
In Six-Day Season
New Record Established In
County, Topping Previous
Mark of 662

Another new record on the deer
kill in Garrett county was made
this year along with new records
also established in AlleganY and
other counties Of the state, making
it one of the most successful sea-
sons in history as far as numbers
go.
A total of 1,6O8 bucks were
slain in the three Western Mary
land counties. Garrett county had
sos of these, highest Of any county
in the state. Allegany had 623 and
Washington county had 287.
Garrett county's totals for the
six-day season were 236 on Mon
day, 165 on Tuesday, sc on We'd
nesday, sc on Thursday, 81 on Fri
day, and 81 on Saturday. The
county's total was SO more than
the record of 662 set last year.
Had the weather been more favor
able the kill would have gone even
higher. Rain fell on the last two
days after a ten-inch snowfall on
Tuesday night had scared a num-
of the city deer hunters into re-
turning to their homes.
Allegany county's first day total
was higher than that of Garrett
county but after the second day it
began to fade until the final day
The bulk of Garrett colmty's kills
came the firt two days. Records
were set in Frederick, Talbot and
Worcester counties.
The deeer with the largest set
of antlers was checked Friday at
Oakland, when jackson Thomas,
Of Oakland, showed up with %
point. This was the largest rack
obtained during the past several
years, but his buck weighed only
146 pounds. Largest kill was re-
ported at Grantsville when G. w.
Phillips Of Frostburg brought in
one weighing 1856 lbs. with four
teen points.
More and more women were en-
tering the field with slain bucks.
