Apply 2 to 4 weeks after alfalfa
emerges. Controls broadleaf weeds in
seedling or established legumes. This
remarkable selective action killing
many broadleaf weeds without affecting
certain broadleaf crops has been
proven by research men and commercial

is being sought for eight other
research projects to be conduct
ed both at Penn State and by
private en jhil. ", undei
contiact n the Department cl
Mines and ,imei a! Industries.
Right now, Pennsylvania is one
of the few states in the Nation
ready to take advantage of every
Federal dollar cuirently avail-
able for water quality conti ol
projects Last year, foi example,
11 of the 18 Fedei ally-funded
piojects approved by FWPCA
were in Pennsylvania
As a lesult of reseaich already
done by our Department of Min
es and Mineial Industries, we
now stand on the doorstep to
either effective conti ol or ulti
mate elimination of acid mine
drainage as a majoi somce of
pollution to moi e than 3,000 mil
es of State sti earns
We now know where many of
these sources are, and we have
treatment plants and other facil
ities either built or being built
