21 Demonstrations 



Teach Weed Killing 



C. W. Ward 



A SERIES of 21 weed killing demon- 

 strations are being sponsored this 

 month by the Illinois Farm Supply 

 Company. C. W. Ward, sales repre- 

 sentative of the com- 

 pany and a man 

 from the Chipman 

 Chemical Engineer- 

 ing Company, man- 

 ufacturers of Atla- 

 cide Calcium Chlo- 

 rate, are in charge of 

 the demonstrations 

 scheduled in Lee, 

 Carroll, Rock Island, 

 Tri-Counties ("War- 

 ren, Henderson, 

 Mercer), Fulton, 

 Cass, Scott, Pike, Greene, St. Clair, 

 Madison, Montgomery, Shelby, Craw- 

 ford-Jasper, Edgar, Champaign, Taze- 

 well and Woodford Sept. 18; McLean 

 county, Sept. 19; and Ford and Iro- 

 quois counties, Sept. 21. 



A truck equipped with a power 

 sprayer is being used to demonstrate the 

 effectiveness of calcium chlorate. Ap- 

 proximately nine carloads of atlacide 

 have been distributed by Farm Bureaus 

 and local service companies in the state 

 during the last summer, reports Mana- 

 ger L. R. Marchant of the Illinois Farm 

 Supply Company. More fall applica- 

 tions will probably be made than ever 

 before this month and next. 



Fall treatments are particularly suc- 

 cessful when properly applied. The 

 chemical either kills the weed outright 

 or else weakens it so that winter freez- 

 ing together with plant poisoning will 

 completely eradicate the pests. Plant 

 poisoning is similar to blood poisoning. 

 The chemical is absorbed principally 

 through the leaves and stems and cir- 

 culates through the plant system into 

 the roots. Application should be made 

 for best results before the weeds are 

 killed by frost.
