Too many are still exposing themselves unnecessarily to parathion and related chemicals. Ditch weeds are becoming a i-eal problem on many bogs. Effective chemical treatments have been developed, including a new treat- ment found in the present weed control chart. Reference is made to the use of aminu-triazole plus dalapon for general weeds and is effective even with standing water in the ditches. There is no residue problem involved with this par- ticular treatment because the dalapon in the mixture prevents berry development. Sodium arsen- ite is another effective material for general ditch weeds, but is a deadly poison and must be used with great care. The grassy-type ditch weeds can be checked with No. 2 Fuel Oil but the ditches should be drained for best results. There is a definite place for greater use of weed clippers on many properties as a means of reducing the shading effect of these weeds over the cranberry vines. Amino-Triazolc One final note on weed control is called to the growers' attention— a flash card on the use of amino- triazole was mailed to growers through the county agents' offices following the cranberry clinics held in early July. It is extremely important that every grower re- ceive this information and heed the warning. For this reason, it is repeated again: "AMINO-TRIAZOLE - Growers attending the recent cranberry clinics were told that there was no possibility of a tolerance being established for the use of amino- triazole during the growing sea- son. Recent developments in the testing of this chemical prompted the chemical coinpanies concerned to withdraw their applications for. FOR PREFABRICATED FLUMES SEE RUSSELL A.
