2'4-D Is OK For Weed Control
In Wheat, FDA Report Says
In response to many re
quests for information on
the use of 2,4-D to control
weeds in wheat, the Depart
ments of Health, Education
and Welfare and Agricultu
re today issued the follow
ing statement.
1. No new regulations
have been issued concerning
the use of 2,4-D (2,4-Dich
lorophenoxy acetic acid) for
the control of weeds in
wheat.
2. The chemical has been
used effectively and safely to
control weeds in wheat for
the past 12 years. It is reg
istered by the Department
of Agriculture for distribu
tion in interstate commerce
for such use.
3. There is no Govern
ment regulation requiring

use of 2,4-D at any specific
period prior to harvest. Lab
els used by manufacturers
contain recommendations for
the use of the chemical by
wheat growers. Also, the
Department of Agriculture
has suggested that ordinarily
in order to get the best re
sults, the chemical should be
applied approximately 50
days before harvest. This,
however, is not a regulation
As a matter of fact, approv-
ed patterns of use have in
cluded application up to a
few days before harvest. It
has been pointed out that
although the dissipation of
the chemical by oxidation
and weathering would be
less in the case of the later
application, this is balanced
by a reduction in the possi
bilities of translocation of
the material through the
plant during the ripening
stage.
4 Since tne nrst use of
2,4-D, no residue of the
chemical has been found in
wheat and the Departments
do not have evidence that
late use of proper amounts
of the chemical will result
in any residue in wheat
5. If information is devel
oped to show the existence
of residues, the new infor
mation would be considered
by both Departments and
action would be taken to
set a tolerance Tolerances
have been established for
#2, 4-D residues in pears, ap
ples, citns fruits, quinces, as
paragus This tolerance has
been set at five parts per
million which provides a
wide margin of safety On
the basis of the action taken
in connection with other
products, it can be assumed
that if it became necessary
to consider the etabhsh
ment of a toleiance in wheat
a tolerance would be estab
lished

type should be kept in prop
er perspective in their re
lationship to the total needs
of the dairy industry. The
publicity and recognition of
ten associated with judging
contests at State and nation
al levels may exaggerate the
importance of type m dairy
ing, according to Dr. Bayley
Analysis of more than 10
USDA and State research
studies involving Ayrshire,
Holstein, and Jersey breeds,
said, Dr. Bayley, has shown
that if type classification of
breed associations were used
in conjunction with product
ion records m breeding pro
grams, milk production wo
uld be increased by only
4/10th of 1 per cent more
than by use of production
records alone.
“Dairy character,” a fact
or used in determining ‘type'
is more indicative of milk
production than final type
classification, Dr. Bayley
said. If breeders used dairy
character and production re
cords together as guides, he
added, analysis shows that
milk production m future
generations would be increas
ed by 2 ot 3 per cent more
than by use of production
records alone. But if “dairy
character” were used as the
sole guide for selecting bre
eding animals, production
would be mcdeased less than
half as fast as by selection
based soley on production
records
Type as rated by the breed
associations continues to be
imoortant in determing the
price of animals sold for
breeding purposes, because
dauymen do not realize the
small correlation between
type and mJk production.
Dr. Bayley said.
When dairymen become
more fully aware of the
facts revealed bv research
relating to typo. Dr Bayley
predicted, they will give this
factor considerablv less im
portance than it is given
now
The dairy cow is perhaps
the most efficient and pro
ductive animal domesticat
ed by man. She converts
grasses and roughage which
man cannot eat into milk —
“nature’s most nearly per
fect food."
