An extended hot, dry season in many parts of Ontario and Quebec have resulted in very rapid growth of some weeds like lambsquarters and ragweed. When using CLEANSWEEP we recommend the higher 0.7 Uacre rate of Basagran Forte in drier areas to achieve optimum control of weeds which may have hardened off. BROADLEAF HERBICIDE EnEr e Use Reflex early post emergent and "smoke" ragweed and many other broadleaf weeds. The Hard and Past Solution for Rammed In &Seals- ZENECA REREX• is a ,eked trademark of a Zones Group Comparro Research shows that ragweed is the number one weed that is escaping growers soybean weed control program. Studies show that ragweed can reduce soybean yields up to 40%. Reflex, a new selective postemergent herbicide, kills ragweed and many other broadleaf weeds in their early stages of development. Achieve superior ragweed control this year with Reflex applied in the first trifoliate stage of soybean growth.

"Applying by telephone makes it easy for hunters to purchase their Resident's Deer Licence and enter the Antlerless Deer Draw," said Natural Resources Minister John Snobelen. Accredited hunters should have ready a valid hunting version Outdoors Card number, a valid Visa or Master Card number, and a choice of Wildlife Management Unit(s) (WMU) before calling 1-800-288-1155. "While the telephone licensing system is more convenient for both hunters and the ministry, applicants may still purchase a licence in person at any licence issuing outlet, and submit a paper application to the draw if they wish," said Snobelen.

Some frost-prone fields have required replanting while in other sections, farmers have tried to clip dead tissue to promote growth from the ground level. It is expected to recover if not frozen to the growth point. The extent of the damage is still being assessed. Thdugh Hall said the situation is not critical at this point, the condi- tions are not good for growth. "It is like planting a crop in July. Nothing grows in these conditions." He suggests rain is needed within the next few days to limit damage. Aside from slowed growth, the cool temperatures and dry land has made the timing of herbicide appli- cation difficult. While most of Huron County was only struck by killing frost in scat- tered areas, Elgin, Middlesex, Perth, Oxford, Norfolk, Waterloo and Wellington Counties will be dealing with the worst frost since 1972. The combination of a very hot May, leading to early planting and growth, and a late frost could cut corn yields in Ontario by one to three per cent, though some farms have been devastated. $91.90 with sales to $102.
