I ALL SWIMMING POOLS CLOSED All swimming pools under the operation of the Town of Newcastle have been closed and with the present weather conditions no one seems to mind If weeds get a foot hold in your lawns, then herbicides can be used effectively to eliminate them, says Professor Professor C. M. Switzer, Dean, Ontario Agricultural College. Professor Switzer says that broad-leafed weeds - such as dandelion and plantain - are best controlled when they are growing rapidly. There is usually a flush of growth in late August and September, due to cooler weather and more moisture. This makes the fall a good time for herbicide application. He recommends combinations combinations consisting of 2, 4-D and dicamba or mecoprop for controlling broad-leafed weeds. weeds. 2, 4-D is effective against dandelions and plantain; mecoprop mecoprop takes care of clovers, chickweed and black medic, while dicamba disposes of most others.- Gardeners can do nothing to eliminate the crabgrass infesting infesting the lawn this year, but they should start to plan for next year. Crabgrass finds it difficult to survive in shady conditions; conditions; lush, dense lawn growth growth to a height of about four to five centimetres (about one and one-half to two inches) will tend to discourage it. Professor Switzer recommends recommends the application of fertilizer in early September to thicken the grass. In late September, preemergence preemergence herbicides, such as Betasan and Dacthal, should be applied. They will kill the crabgrass next spring before the seedlings emerge from the ground. Exercise caution when using using herbicides. Careless application application could damage vulnerable vulnerable plants. Herbicides should he applied on days between 15 degrees to 25 degrees (' (aboul 00 80 degrees K), preferably in the morning or evening when there is little wind. To ensure even coverage when using granular formulations, Professor Professor Switzer recommends applying half the chemical in one direction, and the other half at right angles to it.
