The only way to control quackgrass with
atrazine is to apply the atrazine before you
plough. Then when you turn the soil over
you mix the atrazine into the soil where the
quackgrass root will grow Into it nest spring.
Our recommended rate of atrazine from
Publication 75 is dependent on shallow
ploughing The type of Ploughing that is
doge with a 12" or 14' bottom plough.
However, as you go to wider ploughs you
tend to plough deeper. When you plough
deeper you dilute"theatrazine around the
- quackgrass roots.
Quackgrass once established tends to put
its rhizomes (spreading roots) in the top 4.6"
layer of soil. In the good old days you could
control quackgrass by summer fallow. That
is because all the rhizomes were shallow and
you could easily drag them to the top.

BY ALAN SCOTT PERTH M . REP.
We're all faced with the challenge of
making an effort to get along - parents and
children, husbands and wives, partners in a
business, people working in an organization.
lenders and borrowers and so on. In every
case there's nothing worse than the
difference that gets set aside and resurfaces
time and time again to cause problems.
There seems to be no doubt at all that at
least one party, and better still, both parties
have to work at getting along. Success isn't
achieved without this key ingredient.
A pro manager does what has to be done
in order to reach the long term objective. He
or she looks on a disagreement as something
that has to be talked out and overcome,
rather than a time bomb that is left to
smoulder. It takes maturity to come to grips
with a faltering relationshipand get it back
on track. It's' -a sign of strength - not
weakness to go to the partner and start
action which will rectify the relationship
which is derailing the business.
Someone has said that the responsibility
for any disagreement had to be shared
Sure, one person might be ninety per cent in
the wrong. However, reconciliation might
start with a peace gesture from the party
who had only contributed ten per cent of the
misunderstanding. The conciliatory action.
might be a simple gesture of understanding
or admission that "I was wrong to get upset
so easily".
Getting along is extremely difficult when
the other person doesn't really seem to care.
There are documented incidence where
progtess has been initiated by the party who
wasn't the main contributor to the problem.
Why bother if It's not your fault? The pro get
satisfaction .from solving problems rather
than letting them simmer. He or she will
leave no stone unturned in orderto bring the
misunderstanding to an end.
Differences often occur when one party
feels the other doesn't hear what he or she is
-trying to say. There's nothing more
frustrating than to draw a blank reaction
when we're communicating something
that's important to us. Sometimes feelings
are hurt by a comment from a partner or a
fellow member in an organization. There's •
always temptation to take the remark
personally and get "down" or angry as a
result. I'm sure that you've learned too that
it's•far better to count to ten before reacting.
Chances are the other person didn't intend
the remark in the way that the received
interpreted. A little thought often brings a
conclusion "Hey! He didn't really mean
what 1 thought he did." Glad you kept a cool
head., ..
Communication is tricky. it's the key to
getting along. We first have to get the
messages straight. Secondly, we have to
make an effort when there's a need to talk
things out.
Farms have been sold because father and
son couldn't get along ---and everyone
regretted it for years afterwards. Maybe
there was no way that the two people could
work together, but it's sad if a real effort
wasn't made to resolve the impasse before
drastic measures were necessary.

When' you apply attaches this fall to
control quackgrass, adjust your rate accord-
ing to your ploughing depth. Keep in mind
that the old 2 lb. active rate per acre was for
a ploughing depth of 4.6 inches. If you are
ploughing deeper you should increase the
rate of atrazine. You are trying to establish a
certain concentration of atrazine in the soil
layer that you turn over.
This fall application must be followed by
an early June post application.

On those fields you should apply more
atrazine this fall before you plough. If the
quackgrass is not dead nqw it will not

The-sp11f'application of atrazine means
you will haveto grow corn for two years.
if you do not want to grow corn neat year,
either Cytrol or Round -up should be used

Farmers can increase,
knowledge of industry
Without under estimating the signifi-
cance of technological growth, the farmer's
most important resource is his knowledge
and understanding of the industry. Continu-
ing education is a valuable and practical way
of being informed. -
Perth County and area farmers may enroll
immediately in continuing education
courses. According to agricultural repre-
sentative Al Srroott, this fall courses, in swine
management and financial management are
similar in format to programs of previous
years but each addresses the current needs
of farmers.
Two courses are available. In swine
management. Dan and Mary Kerr, R.R. 3

course at Kin Station, Listowel, starting
