Jensen, county agricultural agent, and Wenzel Luke, county weed supervisor. These experiments consisted of using various weed chemicals at different rates of application on large areas. This farm, which is located about three miles southwest of Roosevelt on U. S. Highway 40, is being leased by Duchesne County to use in the experiment tests for the control of Russian Knapweed. In addition to experimenting with use of chemicals, part of the experiment work is devoted to testing the effect of crop competition with the weed, Mr. Jensen said. Main crops tested in this type of experiment were alfalfa and various pasture grasses. Different chemical companies in the intermountain area were invited to furnish any chemicals they have for sale for the control of Russian Knapweed. Some chemical companies applied the chemical and conducted the experiment at their own expense, Mr. Jensen reported. Duchesne County is plagued With more Russian Knapweed than in all other counties of the state combined, the county agent 15-ac- re said. Russian Knapweed is a woody perennial which from underground root stocks and from its prolific crop of seeds. If left uncontrolled, this noxious weed chokes out crops.
