Ivan Armstrong, award-winning corn grower of Bothwell, says
"No danger of damage from
ATRAZINE65W. . it won't burn
the corn or hurt adjacent crops"
"What I like'about Atrazine," Ivan Armstrong says, "is that it
seems to be foolproof.The only harm from an overdose is to
your pocketbook—not to the corn!"
Ivan Armstrong grows about 215 acres ,of corn. He has been
twice winner..of the Cash Crop Farming Corn Award at the
Western Ontario Seed Fair.
Atrazine is used post-emergentiy as an overall application.
"Results are excellent." he says. "On one rented field the weeds
were so thick it.looked like sod. One application of 4 lbs,
Atrazine and 1 gallon of oil completely wiped out the weeds
and grasses."
Atrazine controls weeds, when they are small, before they rob
the corn plants of moisture and nourishment. •. and it controls
them all season long so that harvesting goes faster and easier.
Start using Atrazine this year... discover how profitable corn
production can be. Place your order now.
Ask your dealer for an instructional leaflet on Atrazine 65W.
Gesaprim® brand of Atrazine 65W is available in 5 lb. bags and
50 lb: cartons from farm supply dealers. ®RegdT.M. of Geigy

Our Bayfield Columnist
Makes Use of Weeds
"Mr." has most of his garden planted — fop the time*
being a,t any rate. The cold east winds and cloudy days haven’t '
been too conducive to growth, and yet nature is on the move.
The lowly dandelion which .causes so much distress to
those who .covet beautiful green sward. around their homes, '
can be used in a great many ways. t
First, before it comes into bloom it can be a culinary
delight, Dandelion leaves can be used for greens and can
ned for winter use. Persons who have room in a “deep freeze"
might even experiment with the frozen product Cut the
plants off at the root,
For dandelion salad: two quarts of dandelion greens
should be soaked for 30 minutes in salt water, then drained
and chilled. Rub garlic in a bowl, add onion, bacon, a little
vegetable oil, lemon juice, salt and, pepper. Cut over it hard-
boiled' eggs for a delicious dish,
The blossom of the dandelion is used for Lucy's favourite
home-made wine.
Marsh Marigold leaves when cooked as a vegetable, make
palatable greens. If one cuts the leaves off carefully, they
will gravy agaih and a second crop can be used.
One usually tries to eradicate Sltinging Nettles. But
should you have this irritating weed around your property,
■ (it is also found along streams and1 in the woods) the young
green shoots can be used as spinach. Later on in the summer
when the leaves have become toughened, use the leaves for
greens.
Nettles are used as a spring tonic, Mood purifier (helps
young people with pimlples and blemishes). Nettle tea is
made by soaking five large handfuls of young tips in a
quart of boiling water. Let stand for several hours. Drain.
Some people use the whole plant, stem^and all. This, .they
boil and then strain off the juice. The taste will be bitter, ,
but is a good spring tonic.
The .Milkweed which is a bit of a pest in a flower bed,
yields itself to different culinary uses. The tend'er young
shoots can • be cut for gree'ns resemblng asparagus. They
should be cooked in at least two waters to remove the bitter
taste (not poisonous). Serve it with seasoning and butter.
The flowers are rich lin nectar and are the. source of good
brawin sugar. They can be used to sweeten foods, (Lucy
remembers how the monarch and other butterflies clustered
around the milkweed flowers on the flats, sucking the
sweet nectar, when she went. to hunt' cows over half a
century ago. And on these plants also, she often discovered
the green and gold chrysalis of the monarch). Even the pods
of the milkweed wihen cooked are edible andi can be used
in stews.
■Then take the Fiddle Heads, on sale in large food stores
— they are popular as a spring di'sh in New1 Brunswick. 'But
if you know the Ostrich Fem wihose fronds grow to a height
of six feet, and Bradhen fern, you may walk out .to the
swamp rich in humus where the former grows, or the pasture,
Clearing or open bush where bracken flourishes, and help
yourself.
The young unrolled fronds of the Ostrich are thick and
tender, and are used! as a substitute for asparagus or string
beans. Remfove, the dry scales from the tightly coiled, leafy
tips and bases of the stalk, and wash carefully. Season with
salt and bail ar steam until tender. Serve on toast .as a
vegetable.
The yotfng unfolding stems of the brachen taste like
asparagus when cooked as a vegetable. To prepare, cut the
stems when they are about 4” to 10” high. Take away the
brown - wool-like covering, wash and boil in salted water.
Lamb’s Quarter is a weed rampant in the gardens at
"The Hut". Lucy considers it quite the nicest green available,
although she 'has .to use all her persuasive powers! on "Mr.”
to get him to pick and cook a mess Of it when ilt is young
and tender. “This year he consented to plant spinach for the
first time.
Ere now, gentle reader, you will be aware that Lucy’s
taste in vegetables and that of her spouse, differ greatly.
She is very fond! of greens but cannot eat them uncooked;
and Carl’s appetite is for potatoes and raw, crisp vegetable®.
To Lucy’s way of thinking, iit is a great waste of tasty
food not to avail ourselves of the generous supply of good
‘ spring delicacies which grow “wild", need1 no cultivation, and
are available for the menu before the garden grows.
Lucy has mentioned but a few of the large number of
edible weeds and plants growing in rural parts which can
be had for the picking.

DOES SHUR-GAIN FERTILIZER SPREAD BETTER?
)
At a quick glance shur-gain Selected-Granulated, Fertilizer may look very much
like most other' kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important difference.
Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones consist of a dry
mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or granular form.
As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You pan compare
it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed With marbles. If you throw out a handful
of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong balls—and that
is exactly what happens with ordinary fertilizers.
Every granule of SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer contains the guaranteed
plant food elements in the right proportion.
When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with any
broadcast-type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the smallest to
the largest) of free-running shur-gain Selected-Granulated Fertilizer is nutritionally
balanced no matter where it lies—assuring you of complete and even intake of all
the plant food by your crops. There are no excesses in one area and starvation in
another with shur-gain.
Another good reason why you cah be confident of top returns from shur-GAIN—
