cultivation as one of the most ef

"No available herbicide", says
Shaw, "will kill all weeds and
leave crop plants completely un

control resisflant weeds, it will be
only a short lime until fields will
be weedier than ever with weeds

higher crop yields when cultivated

as the Mountaineers round the
bend and start the home stretch of
their diamond season, Brevard Is
another Blue Ridge conference op
ponent; and Asheville Is non-con-ferenee;
but Coach Marshall
Teague expects trouble from both
teams.
Waynesville blanked the Brev
ard Blue Devils In their first en
counter here last month and they
would take real pleasure in a sec
ond helping of the same.
With the Maroon Devils still
tingling from last week's tight
game, they will undoubtedly be
out for a, few Mountaineer scalps,
Coach Teague expects to start
Ralph Jenkins against the Blue
Devils ami Jimmy Kuykendall
against the Maroons, with Fugate
receiving. He figures that "If the !
hitting improves, we should at leasj
split even if it improves con
siderably, we may even will them
both"

Christ School for Boys stopped
Waynesville's win streak at six
straight when they rallied In the
third Inning and beat the Mourn
taineer nine 6-4 on the Greenie
diamond Tuesday afternoon.
Wayesvllle showed effeeu of
maybe too many games In Just a
few days. The elutch hitting just
I wasn't there, except in the first
when BUI Sutton teed off on one
of Hall's pitchea for three bases
with two runners aboard.
In Waynesville' ftrst Bobby
Kuykendall singled; Carol Swanger
beat out an Infield hit, but his
cousin Terry forced him at second
on a fielder's choice, Kuykendall
moving to third. Then came Big
Bill's smash. That was all the
Mountaineer scoring until the sixth
as Hall horse-collared them
through the second third, fourth
and flfifth stanxas, and finally the
seventh.
Perk Fugate, the Mountaineers'
hustling catcher, led off the sixth
with a walk, stole second and went
to third on Hall's bad throw to
second when the right-hander
tried to pick him off. J. Kuyken
dall went down on strikes, but
Fugate scored on Robinson's field
er's choice. DeWeese ended the
Inning by popping to first.
Christ School scored three In
the second and three In the third.
The scoring in the third frame
went like this; Grady and Mebane
walked as Jenkins lost his control.
Howie, huge first sacker, then
drove a long one between left and
center for four bases. Jimmy Kuy
kendall relieved Jenkins and was
greeted by a single from the bat of
Jack Riley, Greenie receiver. Kuy
kendall then lightened down and
struck out Dameron and Roberts
while walking Hall In between,
then the lefty threw out McCrack

In the Greenie second, Moun
taineer errors and walks hurt bad
ly. Mebane was out second to first.
Howie was on on an error; Riley
also reached first on a Waynes
ville bobble. Dameron walked,
loading the sacks. Hall struck out
for the second out, but Roberts
got a free pass, forcing in a run.
McCracken cleared the other two
runners with his second single of
the day.
Ralph Jenkins started strong
