Weeds such as chickweed, ihenbit, mustard, ragged robin and bless ed thistle can be controlled in al falfa. These weeds can be killed) with a material known as Dinitro, or "ipr emerge.'' To obtain satisfactory weed con trol lit is necessary to apply this chettttical in February, while the seeds are small, line onemocai is applied at the nate of one and one half to three pounds of acid equiv alent, per acre, in 80 to 60 gal lons of water. The chemical has been used suc cessfully in a small plot on the farm of Gay Merrill, of Gabriels Creek. The results of ithe (demon stration 'were good weed control fend no injury to tjhe alfalfa. Oth er demonsteations in the state have shown this ito he a practical? method' of controlling weeds in al falfa . . The cost of applying this ma terial will be $2.87-$4.30 per acre. The material may be obttained through special orders at local dealers.
