the tribune thursday slay 9 1968 pw farmers question milk quotas control crabgrass now by john bradshaw more lawns are ruined by crabgrass each year than by any other cause during late july and early august you should be on the lookout for crabgrass plants to show up in your lawn it takes from the time the lilacs are in bloom in late may and early june until sometime around the first of august lor them to grow large enough to be easily rec ognized many persons call or write around the middle of may to say they already have crabgrass in their lawn nothing could be further from the truth what they really have at that time is quack grass sometimes called couch grass it has broad leaves about a quarter of an inch wide with sharp edges quack grass is a perennial that spreads by seeds and underground roots crabgrass on the other hand is an annual which sur vives from year to year in the lawn because of its tremen dous ability to reseed itself a single well developed plant can produce as many as 100000 seeds in a single season these can lie dormant in the soil for 50 years and still ger minate when brought to light and moisture what does a crabgrass plant look like its leaves are broader and lighter green in color than most of the desir able lawn grasses but its still very difficult to distinguish from other grass until the purple seed heads start to ap pear around the 1st of august crabgrass liles the hot weather of july and august just about as much as kentucky bluegrass dislikes it just about the time kentucky bluegrass starts to go dormant in july crabgrass starts to grow rapidly lawns infested with crabgrass should be mowed at least once and preferably twice a week from the 1st of august on to remove the seed heads as they form its an excellent plan to gently rake the lawn before mowing it to raise the purple fingerlike seed heads so they are removed before the seeds ripen be sure to catch the clippings in a grass catcher or bag a grass mixture containing a minimum of 40 per cent merlon kentucky bluegrass is the best mixture to sow if you wish to avoid crabgrass merion bluegrass doesnt go dormant in the hot weather of july and august and the crabgrass plants dont get the opportunity needed to take over the lawn crabgrass will not tolerate shade so a thick dense turf cut no shorter than one and onehalf inches will be a big help in controlling it fertilizing a lawn the recommended five times a year is also a big help in preventing the crab grass plants from getting a hold fortunately one application of a preemergent crabgrass preventive will destroy anywhere from 90 to 100 per cent of the seeds as they germinate the seedkilling ingredi ents are highly insoluble and will remain on the surface of the soil for two or more years to continue thejob of killing the crabgrass seeds this is another good reason for not raking the lawn heavily in early spring preemergence crabgrass killers need to be applied with care for the active ingredients which provide the controls are very insoluble materials theyre used at a light rate and to get uniform control every single square inch must receive a coating of the material when it reaches the surface of the soil it becomes fixed to the particles of earth and remains as a very thin but uniform coating f 4loth day free roses for mom its moms day off treat her and the family to a delightful

2972440 a a wall ag rep for york county newmarket these are days of decis ion for cream shippers and those who sell milk for cheese powder or con centrate products the marketing situation is complex the decision to be made is whether or not to apply for entry into the fluid group pool main points on milk marketing may help there are two kinds of quotas one for cream and industrial shippers is national and it limits the amount of federal sub sidy a producer can re ceive the quota setting period was apr 1 1966 to mar 31 1967 these quotas cant be boueht or sold and new quota is not available to new shippers shippers with less than 12000 lbs annually have had their quotas cancelled and those between 12000 and 50000 pounds have to ap ply now to have their quo ta continued the national dairy commission intends to try to increase quotas for those that are now too small and auota mav be given to those who started sivint milk in 1967 producers who apply and are accepted in the group 1 pool will start with 70 per cent at fluid price for one vear start ing sent 1 an additional 20 per cent will come into the pool each successive war this 20 ner cent is 20 per cent of the produc ers average production for august 1965 to july 1966 a producer will con tinue to receive federal subsidy on his federal quota less 125 per cent of the amount taken into the pool none of this of course applies to present fluid snippers who have quotas set by the marketing board and which are en tirely different from the federal quotas one im portant point is however that fluid shippers with quota of less than 400 lbs can apply for an increase again decisions made now can make a lot of difference in the long run details on quotas subsi dies prices and quality can be discussed at our office in newmarket

the requests carried in a brief early in april brought refusal by the minister to give grants to farmers who lost their crops in 1966 and 1967 the brief called for gov ernment compensation for crop losses from weather in crops for which there is not governmentspon sored crop insurance it said the policy on compensation should be the same as when the gov ernment destroys animals to stop the spread of dis ease the grain farmer has no more control over whether it will rain than the beef producer has over whether some can of corn ed beef coming into the country will bring hoof and mouth disease mr stewart rejected the federations request but did announce broaden ing of the number of crops covered and said his de partment would consider provisions to insure part of the value of crops the meeting passed his resolution that they were not satisfied with the re sponse of the minister of agriculture to proposals for crop damage assist ance farmers who have lost crops on which they could not get insurance ought to get better treatment than this from the society he said prices effective until saturday may 1 1 special jenny lind cjndyugtiislj jb m m mi m m bh m hi p mm april
