IRRIGATE FAL AND
PASTURE EARLY

The importance of giving al
falfa and pasture a good thorough
irrigation early in the season can
not be over-emphasized. With the
fast growth that is now taking
place with these crops, moisture
is rapidly being depleted. Also,
one must remember that alfalfa
is a deep-rooted crop and takes
moisture from several feet of soil.
Some interesting research work
conducted by the ScottSbluff, Ne
brasha Experiment Station shows
that alfalfa will take water down
to the sixth foot in a deep soil
profile. According to this Nebras-
ka research work, the amount of
water taken by alfalfa from the
various soil depths is 45% from
the first foot, 1879 from the Sec
Ond foot, 1870 from the third
foot, 1870 from the fourth foot,
8 % from the fifth foot
and 80 from the sixth foot of
soil.
Due to its deep-rooted charac-
~teriSticS, then, alfalfa can make
use of heavier irrigations better
than most crops. Researchers tell
us that three to four inches is the
normal amount of water to apply
ito alfalfa in a medium textured
soil. Pasture grasses, having much
shalloWer root systems on the aV-
erage as compared to alfalfa, do
better with more frequent and
lighter irrigations.
The important thing with both
pasture grasses and alfalfa is not
to wait too long in the spring to
irrigate. These crops need water
badly now THAT they are in the
rapid growing stage. They GER
tainly need more moisture than
a few scattered showers or even
a fairly good rain will provide.

NEED
SPECIAL ATTENTION

With the busy yard and garden
season here, a few ideas on ever
green care should be in order.
Evergreens thrive, especially here
in the irrigated valley, where
there is deep soil and good rain
age. They do, however, require
special attention and care that is
not needed in growing broad
leaVed tree species.
In the first place, young ever
green's should be shaded and pro
tected from wind injury for sew
eral years after planting. To stress
the Importance of protection, we
might mention that several young
evergreen trees have been lost
during the past years in the Sid
ney area due to excessive expo
sure to sunlight and wind. Re-
member, that young evergreens
in their natural habitat have plen-
~ of protection, so certainly
shade and protection should be
provided in the artificial environ
ment that we expect them to
grow in.
Also, with evergreens, and this
is particularly true of the spruce
it is very important to spray peri
Odicany for spider mites. Spider
mites Will cause a spruce tree II
turn a rusty brown color and i
not attended to, will eventually
kill the tree. These tiny mites arr

WEED CONTROL IN
SMALL GRAINS

We have received lots of III
tlons the past few days relative to
spraying small grains for weed
control. One of the most frequent
questions asked is at what stage
of growth can small grains be
safely sprayed with 2,4JD. Re-
search workers at the Montana
State College Experiment Station
tell us that the best time Ito spray
wheat or barley is at the 5-leaf
stage OF growth. Wheat and bar
ley are both adequately tolerant,
however, to 2,4-D from the 5-leaf
stage until the early boot stage.
Oats T much more sensitive to
2,4-D than either wheat or barley,
and is especially sensitive during
the jointing stage of growth. When
spraying oats for broadleaf weed
control, researchers recommend
the s of the anime formula
ton of 2,4-D near the early boot
stage of growth. Some injury to
oats can be expected from spray
ing with 2,4-D at any time, how
ever. Increased yields resulting
from weed control will usually
offset the yield loss even in the
case of oats.
For complete information on
weed control, we have a newly
revised publication available en-
titled Chemical Weed Control In
Field Crops. This bulletin, writ

DIN POINT CONDOR

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va,
July / (AP).-State Senator
Harry F. Byrd, jr. got in an in
direct plug for the Harrison
Democratic gubernatorial pri-
mary ticket tonight with q call
for "a fighting spirit to sell
progressive conservatism"
Virginia will not maintain
its historic position by listen
ing to voices Of compromise, to
voices of soothing double talk,
to those whose campaign state
ments are directly opposite to
their public records" Senator
Byrd said in a speech prepared
for delivery before the Vr-
ginia Highway Users Associa-
ton.
why should those who be-
ieve in fiscal conservatism and
minimum government restric-
tons apologize for trying to
preserve that philosophy Of
government that has made Vir-
ginia-and America-great?
II say what is needed today
is a fighting spirit" Mr.. Byrd
said, "a determination to resist
those who in the name of phony
liberalism would lead US down
an unsound road"
A three-man slate backed by
the conservative political Or
ganization headed by Mr.. Byrd's
father, United States Senator
Harry F. Byrd, Democrat Of
Virginia, is facing in the pri-
mary what some observers call
the most serious challenge to
the senior Byrd's leadership in
years.
The organization backed tick
ct, with Albertis 8. Harrison,
jr., as the candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination, has
been using the organization's
conservative record during the
past 80 years as a major cam
paign point. And they have ar
gued that the opposition slate,
headed by 1t. Gov. A. E. S.
Stephens, would, If elected, en-
bark on a liberal course alien
to Virginia traditions.

name the primary or the can
