ginia Forest Incorporated, in cooperation with the Virginia Forest Service, VPI Extension Service and the Soil Conservation Service. The award to Mr. Myers, the only one in the five counties comprising the Culpeper Soil Conservation District, was made in recognition of the management and pro. tection of his 500 acres of timberland in conformance with the standards established by the Virginia Forestry Committee.
In spite of numerous rains last week, farm drainage continues to be an important phase of bhe work of Soil Conservation Service technicians in the Culpeper District. D. French Slaughter, Mitchells, completed additional drainage work. W. H. Hurt, Batna, has cleaned, widened, straightened and sloped the banks on a portion of Brook Run which quite frequently overflows. E. W. Sims, Crooked Run, has recently drained wet and swampy areas in pasture and cropland. All drainage work was accomplished by a dragline rented from a local contractor. The dirt removed from the ditches will be spread by a bulldozer at a later date, when dry.
With Chemicals
Either 2-4-D or Ammate will kill the troublesome poison ivy, says John M. Amos, associate plant pathologist at VPI.
Use 2-4-D as directed on the container. Use Ammate at the rate of 12 ounces in a gallon of water. Spray the plant until the foliage is wet. Within about a week the leaves will die and the plant will appear dead; but sometimes regrowth takes place and a second treatment is necessary.
Detailed instructions for controlling poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac are available in Farmers’ Bulletin 1972. Write the Agricultural Extension Service, VPI.
