. Agri-news. Agriculture. AGDEX: 641 April 28, 1975 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WEED CONTROL '75 A RESOUNDING SUCCESS Enthusiasm and bustling activity! That was the atmosphere in the Kinex Building at the Red Deer Exhibition Grounds on Weed ContrDl '75 Day! More than 2,000 farmers from the surrounding area, and from as far away as the Peace River region in the north and Calgary in the seuth, came to see and to evaluate Weed Control '75—a follow up to Alberta Agriculture's weed control correspondence course, held in central Alberta earlier this year. Opened by Jack Cookson, MLA for Lacombe, the display of products and machinery gave the impression of a country fair. There were 50 booths in all, most of which had been rented by chemical companies and implement dealers for a very nominal fee. One of the more unusual displays was a helicopter used for applying agricultural chemicals and exhibited by Alpine Helicopters Ltd. and Agro-copter enterprises. Two small rooms attached to the main building drew large crowds. They had been imaginatively made into miniature theatres. In one a slide presentation,showing how to choose and operate a sprayer, ran almost continuously. In the other, movies were shown about every half hour on the various aspects of applying agricultural chemicals from the air. (continued) 18.
