Because metals foe civilian use are in short supply, taking good care of dusting and' spray ing equipment a "must" for Tar Heel farmers this year. '8uocesatful production of many crops depends upon p ropes spraying and dusting," points out H. M. Ellis, in charge of ag ricultural engineering for the State College Extension Serv ice. "Till*- can't be done unless equipment is kept In good con Since corrosion is ? major cause of damage to metal, It's very Important to clean spray yers and dusters after'- using them. Copper and several other ?materials commonly used to control plant pests react rapid ly with some metals, the exten sion worker explains, and cor rosion will develop in contain ers made of these metals if the equipment is no* thoroughly washed out wltih water after ward. -- ' Ellis also points out that combinations o>f Insecticide and fungicide materials are capable of causing corrosion and that thorough cleaning of equipment whiah lias t>een used to apply them is the only way to prevent damage. Equipment used to apply 2. 4-D and other weed fillers should not be used for other1 purposes, since no satisfactory method of removing all the weedkilllng chemicals from containers and other parts of sprayers has iheen developed. In a recent Ohio experiment, a corn field treated chemically to control weeds produced 111 busrti els per aore. A similar plot with weeds uncontrolled produced 87 toushels. REYNOLDS' MOTORS 507 E.
