POISON IVY AND WEED KILLERS 
_ The situation as concerns the new weed killers is similar to the existing situa- 
tion on new sprays. The most distinct advance in weed killing material has been 
made recently and embodies the use of a Hormone chemical (Dichlorophen- 
oxyacetic Acid) that is to a considerable degree selective in its killing power, 
and does not leave the soil sterile. 
_ The main advantage of these 2-4-D weed killers is that they are non-corro- 
sive, non-poisonous, non-inflammable and they may be sprayed on the pest plants 
in an ordinary sprayer. Several products that have come to our attention have 
proven themselves very satisfactory. Inasmuch as the prices all compare favor- 
ably we have no specific recommendation as to which product is best. 
It has been our experience that all are effective. The action of the 2-4-D 
hormone herbicides is internal. The plants become hyperactive and literally 
burst from the induced activity. It is most effective when used during late 
spring and summer when the temperatures are 60 degrees and higher. It is 
most effective against broad-leaved weeds such as dandelions, plantain, etc.,’ 
in lawns. They can be sprayed on these weeds without killing the grass. They 
are not effective crabgrass killers.
