TOMATOES 
Do best in sandy, well pulverized

When plants are about 2”’ high, set 
out 3’ apart, in boxes or pots—later 
transplant into the garden, Or keep 
in flats until weather is warm and 
settled, and then set plants out di- 
rectly into the garden. Water around 
the roots of the plants when setting 
them out if ground is dry. Cultivate 
frequently until plants shade the 
ground. Remove all but the two or 
three strongest branches. Study 
methods of staking and _ training 
vines and adopt the one best suited 
to your situation.

early as radishes and lettuce, Then

2-4D ON FARM—INCREASES YIELDS, SAVES LABOR 
Whether your crop is in grasses, grain 
or row crops there is a 2-4D solution 
that will conquer weeds and mean 
more money to you at harvest time. 
PASTURE AND TURF—Should be 
sprayed early in the spring to control 
susceptible weeds, Dosages can be reg- 
ulated so that White Dutch and Ladino 
Clovers will not be permanently af- 
fected. Legumes’ loss however must be 
expected. It is generally considered 
more economical to treat pastures at 
least twice during the season than to 
treat once and allow later weeds to 
seed. 
When to Use 2-4D 
2-4D FOR SMALL GRAINS — Wheat, 
Oats, Barley and Rye may be sprayed 
at any time after tillering (stooling) is 
complete, except during the “‘boot’’ and 
blossom stages. 
FIELD CORN is most resistant when less 
than 6” high or more than 3' high. 
Spraying should be done during these 
resistant periods if possible. CAUTION 
—treatment at other periods may cause 
temporary effects such as leaf curl and 
stem bending or permanent effects such 
as twisting of the brace roots. After 
spraying do not cultivate until brittle- 
ness disappears.
