Buttercuinff
May the present abundance of buttrecups in our pasture fields make an indetible impression -or* your memory—.one that will last until November 1959! Could be you’d better write the name of this pest across the face of your calendar of the eleventh month as comes November many of us halve our minds on Thanksgiving and the hunting season!! Buttercups are nothing to be thankful for but November is the time to declare “open-season” on the pest when! the plants which will bring forth' the 1960 .blossoms are tender and easy to kill.
Last fall 1 Vi pounds of 2,4-D (low volatile ester) was applied in 20 gallons of water per acre to a part of Ned Johnson’s pasture field between Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church and Jim Smith’s line. Stop and have a look and, you’ll see the results. The sprayer! made two complete trips around this area. The control in evidence now indicates the chemical cost Mj $1.87 per acre justifiable.
Mr. Johnsot reports he plans to spray most of his pasture fields this fall. .
