This system works as you can kill the root system of the weed controlling or eliminating it as a weed pro- blem next year without destroying a crop. Remember that this only works for perennial weeds as annual weeds will simply regrow from seed next year. The seeds you eliminate are too few to affect the seed supply in the soil. You should let weeds grow after harvest so that there is foliage to take the chemicals into the plant. Roundup is the most common chemical used. Twit- chgrass, thistles and milkweeds are con- trolled by Roundup. Phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D, MCPA and Banvel can be us- ed on field bindweed, thistles, chervil and wild carrot. High rates of MCPA have shown some effect on horsetail. Control of perennials is often more dif- ficult than controlling annual weeds but it has a more lasting effect and is well worth your effort. WHAT MARKS FOR MANAGEMENT? This is the year when doing a lot of little things right, paid off. Good rotations, fer- tilized hayfields, good weed control, ac- curate planting depth and all the pieces of management blended together, helped to lessen drought stress. All fields were dry but some suffered much more than others. Rainfall varied but side-by-side comparisons of fields do reward the tools of management. Your fields are writing your report card. Watch and learn from them. NITRATES IN CORN SILAGE Poor growing conditions cause worry about nitrate poisoning of livestock by the plant causing excesses of nitrates in the lower stalk area. Cutting the corn 1-2 weeks after a good rain will reduce the problem as growth will resume using up the nitrates. Levels will lower during the ensiling process. This is due to the production of silo gas or nitrous oxide. Be extra careful and do not re-enter the silo area for three weeks. Silo gas kills and the occurrence can be much higher this year.

Attaining residue Those starting into a conservation system this year had the good fortune of following a bumper crop in 1987. With the excellent growing conditions of 1987 came high yields but more important, from a conservation standpoint, a lot of vegetative growth. The 1987 stalks and crop debris are what made up the residue you had to deal with this cropping season. In some cases residues ws so plentiful that occasionally a moldboard plowed field still obtained the 20 percent residue level. The situation is likely to change in 1989. With the poor growing season of 1988 resulting in reduced vegetative growth, the challenge will be to maintain this 20 percent cover. Means of maintaining 20 percent residue cover involves a number of things: Reducing the number of tillage passes helps maintain residue. Each additional pass further breaks down the residue and incorporates it. Depth of tillage should be kept shallow, minimizing incorporation of residue. Minimize the use of tools which invert, chop or cut residue. These tend to break down andfurther incorporate the residue. In order to make the best use of this year's crop as next year's residue, make sure that it is properly spread at harvest. Residue dropped in narrow rows can lead to plugging problems during initial tillage. Registration Don't forget Ripley Minor Hockey and Figure Skating registrations, as well as Ringette. The registrations will be held Sept. 13 and 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. and Satur- day, Sept. 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the arena. Volunteers are required for all sports. Anyone wishing to help out can contact Dan Wilken at 395-3668 for hockey, Judy Hawrylyshyn for figure skating at 395-5388 or Barb Grubb at 395-5929 for Ringette. It is important that anyone interested in taking part in these winter sports, register during the reg stration dates. Organizers must know th, number of participants before they begin for the season.
