LEGION PLAYERS RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS Ligonier American Legion Post No. 243 has been unofficially informed that at least two of their legion baseball players this summer will receive college athletic scholarships to a Florida Junior college. The Post No. 243 team has been such a fine source of supply of outstanding talent to the college that the baseball coach informed legion manager Judge John Hagen that at least two of his players would receive scholarships this summer. The two players will not be selected until the end of the season. There is a further possibility that two more scholarships will be available, however, this depends upon the scholarship fund, which must be audited July 1.

Amiben Provides Lasting Weed Control In Michigan

By WILLIAM F. MEGGITT Hie word is out in Michigan. Total weed control! The soybean is on the rise—especially in the northern part of the state. But another development is also evi-dent-narrower and still narrow, er rows! With narrower rows one factor is critical. Maximum control of the complete complex of broadleaved weeds and grasses. Amiben Spurs Narrow Rows Amiben continues to be the major herbicide for soybeans across alf types of soils except organics <muck' and for control of a broad spectrum of annual weeds—both broadleaved and grassy types. Soybean tolerance to Amiben is extremely good and there have been very few cases of injury even under the most adverse conditions. It is becoming more important to fit a weed control program to an individual grower’s soil type, weed problem, and farming operation. Farther, it is also important that the grower have proper sprayer calibration in order that the correct rate of herbicide is applied. Amiben at 3 lb A has been used effectively for several years for control of the annual broadleaved weeds — lambsquarters, pigweed, smart weed, rajweed—and for control of annual grasses, including green and yellow foxtail and barnyardgrass. In certain cases, particularly on sandy and sandy loam soils low in organic matter, effective control is obtained with 2lb A. Broadleaved weeds such as velvetleaf, jimsonweed and cocklebur that germinate deeper in the soil and below the level of the herbicide have not been con-

trolled. In situations of limited rainfall, or where no rainfall occurs in a four to six day period following application, control has been very fair to poor. Studies the past four years have shown a combination of Amiben at 2 lb A and Linuron at 1 lb A to be more effective under conditions of limited rainfall and a more consistent control measure over a variety of soil types. Further, this combination provided effective control,of velvetleaf. Linuron alone is not recommended for sandy soils low in organic matter. The combination allows for application over a wider range of soils. It has also provided for full season weed control. Amiben at 3 lb A will also provide excellent weed control throughout the entire growing season. In the use of Amiben as a preemergence application, it is a wise program to have a rotary’ hoe as a supplemental tool. If there is no rainfall in the four to five day period after application of Amiben and weeds begin to emerge.

the rotary hoe can be used to aid in the control of the emerging weeds. When rainfall does occur, Amiben will still be present for controlling new weeds as they germinate. Average loss in the state due to weeds in soybeans is four to six bushels per acre which results from direct competition. This figure is certainly higher under excessive weed populations and would be greater if harvesting losses due to weeds were considered. Losses due to weeds occur very early in the stage of soybean growl h. probably in the first two or three weeks after emergence so early control is necessary. This early control is possible through preemergence applications of herbicides such as Amiben applied at the time of planting. How To Keep Costs LowBanding of Amiben at planting time keeps chemical weed control cost at a minimum. Effective weed control over the row is necessary even if cultivation is practiced since “rolling” soil into the rows to cover weeds will build ridges that will make harvesting more difficult. Harvesting losses will be greater because the combine cutter bar cannot be lowered to get all pods. Further, weedfree bands will allow for more

rapid cultivation, and cultivation that will result in less root pruning since cultivator gangs can be set further from the row. Today s soybean production program must involve narrow rows and effective season-long weed control. If soybeans emerge in a weed-free environment that results from the use of an effective preemergence herbicide and if this control persists for several weeks the rows will be covered and shading by the beans will aid in late season control.
