rocket is fast becoming one of haltons most troublesome weeds in may of each of the past two or three years when the mustard like lowers appear in our iieadows numerous inquiries are received by the milton office as to how best to control this perennial weed without injury to the alfalfa and other legumes unfortunately at that season the farm owner has only three alter natives as wc see it if he wishes to prevent this serious weed from going to seed first to pull it and that is easier said than done sec ond to ensile the crop early third to plow the crop down in short we have not to our know ledge any chemical weed spray which can be applied at that sea son which will kill yellow rock et without at the same time kill ing the legumes however according to research work done in various parts of the united states chemical weed spraying will give satisfactory con trol without serious injury to legumes if applied when alfalfa is dormant this means either an early spring application or one in the late fall after a killing frost the halton soil and crop im provement association made ten tative plans early this year to la down a demonstration plot last spring unfortunately the fields were too soft to bear tractor equip ment the officers of this organiz ation hope to undertake a demon stration in november using mc p at a rate of onehalf pound acid equivalent work done in michigan indicates that the onehalf pound rate gives excellent results a count and es timate in one michigan demon stration showed there were be tween 25000 and 30000 yellow rocket plants per acre in the un treated area while only seven plants per acre were found in the area treated with onehalf pound of mop however anyone undertaking to spray a field containing alfalfa should make sure that the legume plants are completely dormant at toe of spraying they should also avoid a new seeding of alfalfa furthermore day tune temperatur es should be above 45 dec f- at time of spraying dn evpect oxford perth
