For fields not planned for corn next year, actively growing twitch grass can be controlled -by applications of Amitrole-T or Roundup in late August. Control is best if applied when the twitch is 4-10 inches in height. Ploughing can follow in 10-14 days after treatment.. Your regular herbicide program can then follow up these treatments in the spring. Poor Weed Control? How did your herbicides work this year? If you are like most Huron County farmers, some fields have excellent weed control while other fields are so-so. Part of poor weed control is related to weather but too often it is a result of choosing the wrong herbicide or not knowing the weed problem. Good weed control must match the herb- icide to the weed problem. Right now is the easiest time to identify weeds since most are fully grown. Once you' know your weeds, then you can choose the right herb- icide, There is no 'substitue for walking all fields now and making a list of the weeds that are present. This winter you can 'choose your herb- icides to fit specific needs. NEW CLERK IN MORRIS—Mrs. Lloyd (Nancy) MiChie was recently named by Morris Township Council as their new clerk. She replaces Jane Badley who is the new clerk of Grey Township. One of the major weed problems facing Huron. County farmers is twitch grass control. Favourable conditions for twitch have allowed it to infest a great number of fields over the past few years. In, order to control twitch in next year's ._ corn fields, treatment may be started this fall. Applications of ,2 lbs. of active atrazine Demand MVCA organized since Sept.
