sec 6 feet on centers, are 4 feet wide and only the rows are to be sprayed. Then 

 only 2/3 of iin acre is to be sprayed and, therefore, only 2/3 of a pound should 

 be used. 



When using either a DN or CIPC there are two hard and fast rules which must 

 be followed if injury is to be avoided: (1) do not apply till the plants are fully 

 dormant, (2) never exceed the i-ecommended rates. A razor or a very sharp Icnifo is 

 a very useful tool if properlj' used but cither can be very dan;^crous if improperly 

 used. Chemical weed killers are likewise useful tools if properly used. 



A word of caution : Spot treating with either of these materials is risky. 

 It is too easy to apply an excess.
