FOR SERVICE AND QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST!
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.

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. Zeneca Agro
received approval for the tank mix of Reflex plus Pursuit
postemergent to Soybeans.

The Ministry of Natural
Resources reminds hunters they can
apply for the Antlerless Deer Draw
by telephone.
"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.

Crop damage
Continued from page 1
damage around the region.
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.
