Some of these tricks work some years. On some farms, but none of them are condistent enough to work most years. The other alternative Is • herbicides. The most common herbleide, of course, is atrazine. However, you have to apply It right. -Weeg had one farmer this year that applied 15 , This rate of atrazinehhad still notcontr. of o led his quack - grass. 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. Now with bigger ploughs you are burying 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. these rintromea 1 wae,ln one Held yea , and measuFed, rhliomeli titiltlfotil1Lur led 10 inches (25,0) deep,1 wfis in thl# fifld. on J y 7..; l'¢e• ca� over ben high, Tho j Gots attacbke MR,ed,to areae rhlzolmea were just pushing *tough the, nd.

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. If you applied atrazine this spring to bare ground or post emergent and, did not apply your will probably e stilfore have quacks was ass nhed ow. On those fields you should apply more atrazine this fall before you plough. If the quackgrass is not dead nqw it will not mysteriously die this. winter. 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 this fall.

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.
