Simazine 80-W has been cleared for use on [grapevines at least 3 years o]d. 

 It should be applied before the weeds emerge in the spring at rates from 2 to 6 

 pounds per acre. 



Dalapon may be used for grass control up to 14.8 pounds per acre. The spray 

 should be so directed that it does not hit the vines. 



Diuron, as previously stated, is most effective when applied in the spring 

 before weeds germinate. It can also be applied in the fall for the control of 

 fall and winter weeds. The total amount applied should not exceed 4.8 pounds per 

 acre. If the application is split, half may be applied in the spring and half in 

 the fall. 



The herbicidal formulas of dinitro may also be used on grapes up to a total 

 of 1.9 pounds per acre active ingredients. These are most useful where most of 

 the weeds are annuals. 



Amino triazole may be used as a dormant application at rates not to exceed 2 

 pounds per acre on vines 3 years old or older. 



When ever using herbicides, read the lab ej^ c ar e ful ly unt ij^ jrou t]lor oughl^

APPROVED FARM STMD MEETING 



The annual spring meeting of the program members was held in April at which 

 time there was a free exchange of ideas and discussion of the rules and regulations 

 of the program. The inspections and price reports are two outstanding assets of 

 the Approved Farm Stand Program in the opinion of the program members. 



The members requested that the report of apple prices at the Approved Farm 

 Stands be continued. In the past, three reports have been issued - pre-season, 

 one month later, and one month later. These reports give the operators first- 

 hand Information on apple prices at other Approved Farm Stands. 



The Approved Farm Stands are inspected tv/ice during the fall months by an 

 Inspector hired by the program members. Plaques are awarded annually to the 

 outstanding Approved Farm Stands. The 25 per cent of the membership with the 

 highest quality of packs receive the awards.
