in Utah are infested with wild Morning-Glor- y known as Field Bindweed Professor Louis A Jensen Utah State University extension agronomist calls it We have Utah’s worst week many acres in Sanpete county infested with this noxious weed pest notes County Agent Del Purnell Utah’s veteran weed researcher DelmarC Tingey USU emeritus professor of Agronomy explained ‘‘When anyone asks us how to control Morning Glory we have to know’ where the weeds are because the type of control depends on what is being grown and whether or not it is in a flower garden on dry land or on irrigated land” Professor Tingey indicated four types of control to fit different situations: (1) Without planting any crop cultivate the land every two or three weeks to starve the weed roots by preventing enough top growth from growing to supply food for the roots This D the simplest and usually the best method of control on surplus farm land that doesn’t have to be cropped (2) Plant an annual crop such as grain or com that will tolerate the herbicide use 24-herbicide to control the Morning Glory then as quick as the crop is harvested cultivate the land as in step one (3) Plant perennial crops such as alfalfa for hay to hold the Morning Glory in check or seed to grass and apply 24D (4) Use stronger herbicides such as the soil sterilents on small spots or in wasteland that is not tillable These are not noron tillable mally recommended land because they take the land out of production for up to five years and can cost from $75 ta $100 an acre he explained center attention upon the theme “The
