If the county agents or the men at the Cranberry Experiment Station can assist with insect identification and their control, let us know Weed Control We have a tew notes o" weed control by Dr. Chester Cross. "Chet" tells us that growers hold- ing "late water" this year (ap- proximately May 25) have an ex- cellent opportunity to control cut, manna, and other grasses. Control measures should be delayed three days after the late water is drawn and then spray with kerosene dur- ing the next four days. There is less injury to the vines if this work is done when temperatures are below 65 degrees. If Stoddard is to be used folowing late water, spraying should be completed with- in four days after withdrawal of the flood. May is also a good month to treat brush around the uplands using one of the brush killers. Low volatile esters of brush kilers are probably safe to use on shores and uplands for ivy, bramble, and woody weeds if greatly diluted —1 part in 250 parts of water. We should never lose sight of the fact that good drainage is the key to the success of weed contro^ ONE - WAY LOW - LIFT TRUFANT STRAIGHT-LINE PUMPS This is the simplest Trufant pump setup—just the pump, piping and one fully-automatic discharge valve. Yet it can be made reversible at any time by adding a second discharge valve and controls both valves. The dike may be wide or narrow.
