What if it? 



2, 4-D weed killer is a new selective 

 tjrpe weed killer, which kills weeds 

 by upsetting their normal growth 

 factors, thereby causing the plant 

 and its roots to wither and die. 



What are its usas? 



2, 4-D weed killing compounds, 

 when mixed with proper amounts of 

 water, make an effective spray for 

 destroying "noxious weed beds" on 

 your farm. These are the weed beds 

 around farm yards, fence rows, 

 grass waterways, lanes, lawns, and 

 pastures. 2, 4-D is also effective 

 for controlling those 'weedy patches", 

 in the crop fields, which in spite of 

 cultivation, easily get out of control 

 during wet seasons. 



CAUTION 



2, 4-D weed killing materials 

 should be used with the proper 

 amount of caution. When treating 

 farm crops, consult your Farm 

 Adviser and Extension Service 

 Bulletins', regarding their proper 

 use and application, as 2, 4-D may 

 damage legume pastures, and cer- 

 tain field crops. 



What will it dp? 



2, 4-D weed killer is especially 

 adapted for killing many broad- 

 leaved weeds, but at the same time 

 does not harm most grasses. It 

 kills the majority of this type of 

 weed easily and completely. 



What ar« the advantagas? 



2, 4-D weed killers are inexpensive 

 when compared to the time and hard 

 work required for constantly mowing 

 and cutting weeds. In most cases, 

 one effective application will do the 

 job of controlling weeds during the 

 season. 



Wher* can I gat it? 



Your County Farm Bureau Service 

 Company can supply you. Contact 

 their representatives regarding your 

 2, 4-D weed killer needs. They are 

 able to economically supply the proper 

 material to take care of your require- 

 ments.
