Favorable moisture this fall makes an ideal time to kill perennial noxious weeds by a chemical dry treatment. Iowa State College and Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station report strong results. Spreading sodium chlorate or Atlaside by hand over infested land to 3 to 4 pounds per square rod just before or after a rain yields best control.
