If millipedes (thousand- legged pests) are a problem, use carbaiyl (Sevin) around 

 the foundation and out into the yard for several feet. 



PLANT DISEASES 



Reportedly, the Vitavax label for the treatment of foundation and registered 

 barley and wheat seed has been approved and is effective for use this week. 

 Official confirmation is expected shortly. 



WEEDS 



This has been a bad weed year; the weather has favored the weeds. Despite this 

 handicap, weed control has been very good. The first killing frost is just 

 around the corner, and it will kill the weeds that were missed this summer. But 

 they have shed seeds for a next year's crop. Watch during harvest for the weedy 

 spots. This will indicate where and what to expect next year.
