That's the key to controlling quackgrass this fall with Roundup® herbicide.

Unfortunately, that doesn't leave much time for dealing with quackgrass. Unless you apply Roundup' herbicide by Monsanto this fall after harvest. Treating quackgrass this fall means you'll have one less chore in the spring. Simply allow the quackgrass to re-grow undisturbed in the crop stubble until the majority of plants are act- ively growing and at least 8 inches high (3.4 leaf stage). But treat before the first killing frost. Properly applied, Roundup will be absorbed and "translocated" down into the network of rhizorrie-s- destroying the entire plant, above and below ground. Five days after treatment, you can resume fall tillage operations, Officers of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police in- vestigated 10 accidents this week with 12 persons being injured and damages totalled $16,425.

Keith Brown speaking from Paul's letter to Timothy, Chapter 3: 16-17, said that Paul was speaking of the importance of the Bible. He said that while man wrote the scriptures, he was in- spired by God to do so, and that the Holy Spirit, through Paul, put His stamp of ap- proval on the Old, and the New Testaments. "To get the most out of the Bible, we must recognize it as a personal letter from God to us and put into practice the contents of this letter," said Mr. Brown. The Bible will speak to us if we will permit it to do so and through us to others. May God help us to hear it, heed it and share its teachings.
