Chemicals to Kill Weeds
Can Harm Vegetables Too
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
Weeds are probably the number
one problem in vegetable gardens
during the summer season. They
choke out small plat.'* and com
pete with them for the nutrients
and moisture in the soil. The old
control method of cultivator,
sweep and hoe is still a good one
but means a lot of hard work and
the modern gardener is looking
for an easier way out.
Everyone is looking for a chemi
cal that can be sprayed on the
garden and which will kill all the
weeds and grass without harming
the vegetables. That la a big order.
The trouble lies lg the fact that
we grow so many different kinds
of vegetables and they belong to
so many different botanical spe
cies and familfcs^ some of which
are cloaely related to our common
weeds? that the chemicals used
to control weeds will also kill the
vegetables.
For several years commercial
carrot growers have been success
fully using solvents and certain
oils as sprays to kill weeds in car
rot fields. Onion growers have
also had some success with the
use of chemicals. In recent years
a material known as 2, 4-D has been
used extensively to kill broad
leaved weeds in corn, gladiolua and
in lawns. Used at the proper
strength, 2, 4-D has not cauaed in
jury to these crop plants and has
effectively controlled weeds.
However, the spray of 2,4-D will
drift Ip the wind and cause damage
to other crop plants and shrubbery
and grape vines. A sprayer used
for 2, 4-D should not be used to
spray other plants.
Most vegetables and other gar
den crops art susceptible to severe
damage by the usual herbicides so
the chemical companies have been
busy experimenting with other ma
terials. The latest developments
are the pre-emergence sprays.
These pre-emergence weed killers
do not act like other herbicides in
that they have no effect on well
established weeds or crop plants.
They are very effective against
weeds that are just germinating
or are just emerging from the soil
but are less than "* inch in height.
Pre-emergence sprays are best
applied to freshly cultivated soil.
One application will usually keep
the soil free from weeds for three
weeks or mora. Then the cultiva
tion and spray application must be
repeated. Well - developed crop
plants are not harmed by these pre
emergence sprays but neither are
well developed weeds.
Baltimore Doctor Ittim
With Rocord? No Bills
Baltimore (AP) ? Dr. Anthony
L. Rettaliata. 80, the physician who
never sent out a bill, hap finally
retired. Old Doc Rettaliata would
just as soon keep on going. But

those things, he realises his heart
won't stand an energetic pace any
more.
In reference to his failure to
send bills he says:
"I thought they'd pay me if they
could. A/id many of them did."
Mrs. Rettaliata chimed In with
a footnote: "And many of them
didn't."
