New grass seedlings coming from seed planted several weeks after the chemical treatment were not affected. Repeated applications were found necessary to kill out reduction in meat for the next three months, civilians took the first big hitch in their belts for the current quarter with the announcement of an increase in the point values of pork, sausages and canned meat products. While news of the tightening of these and other controls over fats and oils occupied the home front, it was announced that all babies leather shoes would be rationed after April. In raising the point values on pork, sausages and canned meat products, OPA said that there would be 5 per cent less meat available during April, but the decrease in supplies would hit civilians harder in May and June. Coincident with the new controls over the aforementioned meats, it was announced that point values also would be boosted on lard, along with shortening, margarine, and salad and cooking oils. flb-- wAmm.w.SW.V .V Discussing the meat shortage, the national livestock committee of the American Farm bureau charged that low price ceilings retarded increased production of beef, and said assurances of minimum returns would lead to greater pork output. The . .Vv.v. .svi Spray to Kill Weeds noxious plants that came up later from weed seeds that were not caught by the first spray. Other weeds readily killed by the compound, according to a government report, included chickweed, pigweed, woodsorrel, knotweed and broadleaf dock. Well established blue grass was not injured by the potent new herbicide. The creeping bent grasses were found much less resistant to it but resistant enough to permit the killing of susceptible weeds without being destroyed themselves. The acids effect on susceptible weeds and clover is much different from that of other chemical herbicides. Instead of producing a local burning effect, and destroying only a part of the plant, it spreads and kills the entire plant, roots and all. Agriculture In the News By W. J.
