E. Grant of the Stati College Extension Service. Both cyanlmid and uramoi have been used. The tests show that the chemical treatment o; > beds greatly reduces the numbei of weeds, saves the grower mon , j ey, and also saves labor in carli . j spring when it is so greatlj needed for other farm jobs. J. H. Hugson, Roger Cullipher , C. W. Spruill, ahd W. D. Whiti are some of the farmers wh< have carefully tested the mater ials. They have found that il is necessary to pay strict at tention to instructions in th< treatment of the beds or the ful l benefit of the materials will no' be obtained.
