g thy acton fre prm wednesday may 24 lawn weed control 1967 gives bycwtaw weed control in lawns is ne cessary if you wish to main tain a good looking carpet of green weeds wili often crowd out the grass on poor lawns and then leave you with noth ing green when the summer heat arrives weed control eliminates competition and allows the grass to fill in solidly through out your lawn once you get rid of the original weeds and the grass fills in then weeds will mostly be crowded out by the grass wwd control on lawns is carried out mainly by 2 4d a material which kills most weeds but has no effect on grass 2 4d is cheap easy to buy and easy to use it mere ly needs to be mixed with wa ter and applied to the lawn as a coarse spray or with a watering can weeds are- best controlled with 2 4d when they are act ively growing this usually means spring or fall actually now is a good time for your spring weed control program there are a few weeds that are not controlled with 2 4d if you have weeds such as chickweed or black medick it will be necessary to use sil- vex mecoprop will kill chick- weed also the chemical 2 4d is easily obtained in most local garden supply stores amfctlure of 2 4d and silvex and mecoprop is usually easily obtained this mixture usually costs more than the 2 4d alone a word of caution is in or der when using the above- mentioned materials they can kill flower and vegetable plants just as easily as the weeds drift from 2 44 can travel carpet long distances and cause dam age be sure to spray when there is no wind so as not to affect your other crops and those of your neighbor insecticide kills tiny root maggots during the next two weeks cabbage cauliflower radish and turnip crops will be at tacked by a white maggot that will feed on the root of the plant causing considerable damage and often the death of the plant unless you are digging the soil away from the roots and stem occasionally to check for these maggots the first thing you are likely to see is a wilting plant the plant will likely die soon after radishes and turnips will be full of wormlike holes control is relatively simple but most necessary the soil around the stem and roots of the plant must be treated with an insecticide solution to kill the maggots this is best done by watering or drenching each plant with about three- quarters of a cup of solution chemical materials that can be used for this treatment are diazinon guthion zinophos ands dasanit probably the most easily obtained material for home gardeners is diazin on diazinon is also the safest material use these materials according to the label instruc tions duulnon for example should be mixed with water at the rate of one ounce per 10 gallons of water and then this solution should be used to drench the plants at the rate of threequarters of a cup per plant control of this insect pest is necessary on practically all forms and in all gardens con trol is easy if you have the correct chemicals now is
