New Hormone Weed
Killer Effective
I 2, 4-D Will Not Kill
AH Troublesome Weeds
Farm losses from weeds exceed
those from all other causes. With
the development of 2,4-d, and or
ganic acid (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacet
lc acid), by the USDA and the New
York agricultural experiment sta
ion, farmers will be saved mil
lions of dollars annually.
Working different from most herb
icides, 2,4-D seems to affect the
growth mechanism of the plant and

travels some distance through the
plant to induce changes which cause
death.
Recent experiments determined
that solutions containing from .10 to
.15 of 1 per cent were sufficient to
kill dandelion, common plaintain,
buckhorn, chickweed and penny
wort.
The cost has been reduced to such
an extent that for from $4 to $o it
is possible to clean up an acre of
land.
With some weeds like Canada
thistle, 2,4-D has not proven effec
tive in killing the roots. It has been
successful with bitterweed, bind
weed, wild mustard, wild radish,
bull thistle, chickweed, ragweed,
goldenrod, burdock and many oth
ers including such shrubs and vines
as choke cherry, wild honeysuckle,
wild grape, locust, Virginia creeper,
sumac and poison ivy.
Take Off Water Chill
TAKE THE CHILL OFF
Many gallons of milk are lost by
the average cow due to being forced
to drink ice cold water. It is not too
early to make plans for removing
the chill from water. New type elec
tric de-icers on the market have
proven satisfactory. Local costs
should determine the type to be
used.
Barrel Chicken Coop
A serviceable brood coop is made
by sawing a barrel of any kind in
the middle,, making
the cut sloping, as
shown in the illus- ASSapVk
tration. When an Avk
entrance hole has *'( A
been sawed out on
one side of each ajnfelCjj yjoa
half, two coops will
be completed. When "
the half barrel is in- p«ubhc3ctoc n »op!
verted, the top will
slope sufficiently to turn water. The
coop must be placed so that water
will not drain into the coop.

Kind of Protein for
Poultry and Livestock
Different protein feeds contain dif
ferent amina acids, and it is these
acids that are important to live
stock and poultry. That is why ani
mals do better on one protein sup
plement than they do on another,
according to A. R. Patton of the
Colorado station. Research is find
ing out the specific amina acids
needed by different classes of live
stock and also what of these acidt
are contained in different feed.
