When you have this kind of a spring, the annual weeds don't seem to sprout, so when you are working your land and getting it ready for seeding, you aren't killing any of the annual weeds because they haven't started to sprout or grow. As a result, you may have a pretty bad weed problem later on this summer. You ought to think very seriously of a good chemical weed control, program later this spring when the time is ready. We used to have to summer fallow some of the good land just to control weeds, however, with the new chemicals you can crop every acre of land if you do a good job of weed cinfrol with some of the cultural and chemical practices that we know of today.

The ordinary 2-4-D will not con trol this lawn weed. When you buy 2-l-D, be sure you read the ingredients that are hi that con tainer. If it has Silvex in it, you will have a control for creeping Charlie, Iwcause it takes Silvex to control it.

Be sure and read what is in the container when you buy if.

Man; of the herds are going.up to 61 and 70 head of milk cows. reverse of that that many farms that used 'to have dair; cattle do not have dairy cattli today. Price of milk is not thi only factor, however, for no having dairy' cattle 'where we used to have dairy are other factors involved. 0m of them is that many of farmers want to get away from the labor of dairy cattle.
