Dl2-Uncaster Farming Saturday, December 21,1985 \ MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Con sistent hybrid performance probably is the most important factor when deciding what hybrids to plant next season, according to Dr. Jack Carlson, agronomy services manager for Cargill Seeds. He said consistency also is key to a successful research program. “Consistent yield is the most important factor, but we look for consistency at all levels,” said Carlson. “That means we take detailed notes on plant emergence, population density, ear height. Surflan addition INDIANAPOLIS, IN. - New herbicide tank mix combinations of Surflan plus Lasso Micro-Tech have been registered with the EPA for more effective weed control in soybeans. Sencor or Lexone also may be added for a three-way combination. Combining Surflan, Lasso and Sencor/Lexone not only provides a broader weed control spectrum than any of the products alone, it also allows using reduced rates of each of the products, which can lower costs. Weed control with the combinations may be sufficiently improved to reduce or eliminate the need for expensive Soil Texture Coarse Medium Fine Do not use Lasso 4EC with Surflan AS Sencor 4 or Lexone 4L may be added to Surflan/Lasso com binations at the following rates ■ Soil Texture Coarse Medium Fine Check the label for complete direct'ons and precautions.

We evaluate over 6,000 experimental hybrids at 10 U.S. research stations and at 104 on-farm company test sites every year. Less than one percent of the hybrids that we evaluate are released for farmers to plant.” After each growing season, • statistics on each experimental hybrid are carefully analyzed with the assistance of computers. This allows Cargill researchers to combine and evaluate hundreds of performance ratings from a large number of test sites. aids weed control postemergence treatments. When liquid Surflan AS is used with Lasso, only the Lasso Micro- Tech formulation must be used. Sencor or Lexone may be added to any registered Surflan/Lasso mixture. In addition to the annual grass and broadleaf weeds on the Surflan label, combinations with also suppress or partially control velvetleaf, smartweed, night shade, morningglory and other problem weeds. Adding Sencor or Lexone extends this list to include cocklebur and giant ragweed.

Such hybrids are selected out and may eventually be dropped from the program,” Carlson said. A system called PEP or Product Evaluation Program is used to evaluate hybrids on farms, said Carlson. The system adjusts for field variability and compares Cargill hybrids with other hybrids. About 250 PEP plots were planted throughout the country in IMS. “PEP allows farmers to determine how our hybrids per form in relation to competitive hybrids across different soil types, moisture, temperature and stress conditions. Performance can be evaluated at various population and fertility levels and factors like drydown and standability can be recorded,” Carlson said.

Two spring-cushioned cylinders mount the bumper to the truck frame so the under-bed mounted spare tire can remain in place. Each cylinder uses two different sizes of springs. Two light duty springs dampen shocks from light loads while two larger springs absorb jolts when heavier loads compress the smaller springs. This results in a more comfortable ride for the truck passengers whether the wagon or trailer being pulled is empty or loaded. The M & W Doubl'-Cush'n Econo- Bumper features a built-in mud shield, non-skid strips on the top surface, license plate mounting holes and a license plate lamp which also illuminates the hitch at night.
