Bindweed Control In Corn
Bindweed can easily be controlled when
it is in the flower stage. Early stages of
growth are almost impossible to control.
The chemical to use is a mixture of 2. 4-D
and Dicamba. Kil-mor is a commercial
nixture of these two herbicides.
Corn is very sensitive to these herbicides
and should not be sprayed while the corn
plants are 6 to 16 in. tall (leaf extended).
Once the plants are 16 in. tall. drop pipes
most be used to prevent herbicide from
entering the whorl of the corn plant. Do not
use 2. 4-D or Dicantba later than 2 weeks
prior to silking and tasseling. For more
information on bindweed control. read
pages 40 and 41 of Publication 75. Guide to
Chemical Weed Control.

County. Thc Twilight Meeting is planned
fa Thursday. July 13th at the farm of Vic
Roland in Downie Township.

Silo Gases
Nitrogen dioxide is one of the most
dangerous gases. Stay out of silos for at
(east two weeks after filling. Run the
blower 15 - 20 minutes before entering.
Keep doors closed between the Silo room
and barn to protect livestock. Be cautious
of a laundry bleach type smell. coughing or
thmat irritation.
Twitch Grass Still A Problem
A split application of Atrazine is the best
way to control twitch. For severe infesta-
tions. 4 lbs. of actual Atrazine plus 1'/2
gals. of corn oil provides emergency
control. The use of corn oil during cold
weather or other stress conditions can set
awn back. Twitch grass tends to creep into
Dorn fields from fence rows. Spraying a
narrow strip of the fence row will prevent
twitch from spreading into a clean field.
