under 950 lbs. continued narrow.

normally the cause of hay fever.
Ragweed is the chief cause. Ninety
percent of all allergic reactions to
grass and weed pollens are due to
ragweed.
Hay fever is a seasonal disease,
it’s a disease that many people
tend to minimize despite the fact
that one out of every three suffers
develop its serious form chronic
asthma.
In Lancaster County it is
widespread from early August
through September when the weed
flowers. The best way to destroy
ragweek over large areas is by the
use of a weed spray such as 2,4-D.
Cutting the plant low, near the
roots is recommended for small
areas The best way to prevent the

To Plan For Fall Wheat Seeding
The time is fast approaching for
our wheat growers to be making
plans for their fall seeding. Some
of our local wheat may not be
satisfactory due to the wheat scab
found in many fields this year. If
you use local wheat, be sure you
know the source and have it
cleaned and treated for disease.
Also, if you have a scab problem
this year, do not plant seed in the
same field this fall; the fungus can
remain in the soil.
Certified seed would be the best
route to take if you experienced
any problems with scab or
powdery mildew this year. The
extra cost for certified seed is well
worth it to help insure a good crop
next summer.
Plan your seed needs now so you
are ready to plant when the con
ditions are right.
The Extension Service is an
affirmative action equal op
portunity educational institution.
