Its Time To
Treat Alfalfa
It is time to treat alfalfa for
weevil control. Ftor Watauga
County, where the elevation is
above 2,500 feet, an application
of 2 and one-half per cent of
granulated Heptachlor at the
rate of 30 pounds per acre should
be applied between October 1
and IS. If treatment is not made
at the right time, poor results
oan be expected.
If Heptacldor is not applied in
the fail, only partial control can
be obtained with spring sprays.
By far the beat control is obtain
ed with the tall treatment.
It is getting to the point
where an individual Who
doesn't agree with a minority
is accused of being un-Amer
ican.
