Weeds Fire Districts Sprays Are Here Again
A county wide meeting on rural fire districts will be held at 7 30 p m Monday at the Anchor Savings building to gauge interest in forming districts. Weed control in strawberry beds is possible with preemergent herbicides dacthal and sesone applied now. Read labels before use. Fruit trees will bloom soon and spraying is advised to secure a good crop. Sprayers should be serviced now. First spray at petal fall, then four to six more at 7 to 14 day intervals, reapply after heavy rain. Several ready-made spray mixtures work, or mix your own with captan malaathion and dieldrin in specified ratios. Home gardeners may fertilize vegetables three ways: starter solution, broadcasting granular fertilizer, or banded fertilizer near rows. Use 10 20 10 or 12 12 12 blends with care to avoid seed contact. Well rotted manure improves soil.

Waterways Growing Up Around County
County waterways are being developed with rapid sod establishment plans. Seeding should begin early September for spring cover, with oats or cereal grasses, and July tillage to prepare for bromegrass. Manure applications and regular clipping help prevent weed growth and promote light penetration for young seedlings. Fertility must be maintained annually.
Fertilizers and Weeds Hit Kansas Farm Economics
Kansas farmers spend heavily on fertilizers while weeds consume potential income. Studies across states show herbicides alone often beat fertilizer alone, and combined use can add up to 14 dollars per acre. Field bindweed and pigweed outbreaks slashed yields and raised dockage costs, with wheat dropping from 21 to 12 bushels and oats and barley also sharply reduced.
