based on God's ,creation
of nature. Mr, Ken Scott
sang a solo, "I come to

children's story was
"Homogenized Milk".
Wilmer Ferguson and

Rev.• McDonald spoke
to the congregation on the
subject of "singing in the

thoughts on the story of
Paul and Silas thrown
into. prison, and yet under
all these devastating

God is the God of all. life,

may not be able to change

life, for into each life
some rain must fall, but it
is our Christian hope that
beyond the clouds, there
is always the sunshine of
God's love.

That's the key to controlling
q ackgrass this fall with Rounduieherbicide.
Next spring, nothing will be more
important than getting in and planting as
early as possible. Unfortunately, that
doesn't leave much time for dealing with
quackgrass.
Unless you apply Roundupy
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 (34 leaf stage). But
treat before the first killing frost.
Properly applied, Roundup will
be absorbed and "translocated7._
down into the network,ofshizomes-
destroying the entire plant, above
and below ground. Five days after
treatment, you can resume fall
tillage operations.
Since Rdundup has no residual soil activity,
--you can plant wheat, oats, barley, corn or
soybeans next spring - with'out risk of
crop injury.
What's,more, many farmers using Roundup
as the key element in a quackgrass
control program, have been able to
achieve manageable quackgrass
control for'as long as three years.
