Native grass that was plant-

anytime to kill volunteer sweet
clover. The sweet clow:r ~ure
does need to be sprayed out as
it will hurt the grass stand. It
takes a pound of 2, 4-D per
acre. While you are spraying
the nodding thistle is a good
time to spray the sweet clover.
New seeded native grass
should not be sprayed until
about June 1. If it stays warm
and we have good moisture it
could be sprayed 2 weeks ear-

in Kansas has rapidly become
a serious economic problem
and a threat to valuable Kan-
sas grassland. Everyone in-
volved with the problem of
musk thistle foresees the need
of legal action to control the
rapid snread of the weed. The
musk thistle season is here
and it is necessary therefore
that determination of respon-
sibility of eradication and con-
