JUtC blesome weeds over the bogs. He suggests that growers buiTi off the weeds growing in ditches with one of the weed killers, The knapsack sprayer can be used for this work, particularly if the nozzle opening is enlarged to about one-sixteenth inch in diameter. He recommends that V2 pound of Sodium Arsenite be dissolved in a sprayeiful of water {3-V2 to 4 gallons) and sprayed rapidly with good pres- sure on the ditch weeds, holding the nozzle low to avoid spray drift on the cranberry vines. For best results, the ditches should be rea- sonably dry. We should keep in mind that Sodium Arsenite in a deadly poison and should be used with utmost caution. Ammate can bo used in place of Sodium Arsenite for the control of ditch weeds. Dr. Cross recommends 2-',2 pounds of Ammate for each knapsack sprayerful of water. While Ammate is not poisonous to man or browsing animals, it kills cranberry vines very readily and is extremely corrosive to equip- ment. Fuel oil is also an excellent material for killing ditch weeds. Finally, Dr. Cross recommends the use of Nitrate of Soda for the con- trol of Royal and Cinnamon Ferns. This chemical should be applied at the base of these weeds and one handful is sufficient to treat 6-8 ferns.
