Mike Naylor, corn grower and custom sprayer of Guelph, says; "ATRAZI N E—a most convenient weapon against Quackgrass" During the '65 season Mike Naylor sprayed several hundred acres with a split application of Atrazine for the control of heavy quackgrass infestations. The first spray was applied in the spring as soon as the quackgrass started to grow. After waiting 7 to 10 days, the land was ploughed, the seedbed prepared and the corn planted. A second spraywas applied after the corn had emerged. A one-two punch that knocked out the quackgrass, annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, and resulted in a bumper corn crop. "For the control of quackgrass," Mike Naylor says, ."Atrazine is a most convenient weapon—and I say weapon advisedly because we need weapons to control weeds and grasses. For myself I just wouldn't have a crop of corn it it weren't for Atrazine." Order your Atrazine now and plan to take full advantage of this new split application technique to eradicate quackgrass once and for all! Write for further information. Gesaprim brand of Atrazine 65W is available in 5 lb. bags and 50 lb. cartons from farm supply dealers. ®Reg'd. rm. of Geigy Fisons (Canada) Limited, 234 Eglinton Avenue East, Toronto 12, Ontario With expanded warehouse facilities, C-I-L Fertiliser Dealers are now geared to give you even bet- . ter service.
