Late Summer Weed Control
Late Summer Weed Control
There is a rogues’ gallery of weeds many farmers and landowners in Rockbridge know all too well. Late summer through early fall provide an opportunity to suppress and perhaps nearly control many of these problematic weeds. The combination of mowing management, weather conditions and shortening day length all impact the susceptibility of these weeds to herbicides and late summer affords us an opportunity to treat them effectively. For those who do not wish to use herbicides, cutting, digging and other means of mechanical removal are (for most weeds) their only option. For those prepared to use herbicides and want to minimize the amount we release to the environment and achieve the most efficient use of limited time, then read on. 08/02/2023 12:00 AM
The First Amendment And The Military Subject Of Cadet Project
The First Amendment And The Military Subject Of Cadet Project
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is considered to be the most important part of the Bill of Rights. It guarantees citizens the freedoms of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. The Constitution restricts the government from taking these rights away from ordinary citizens. However, when citizens take a commissioning oath or oath of enlistment into the military, they become subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), a set of laws that governs everything from the handling of enemy prisoners to the conduct of ordinary soldiers. Riley Malone ’25, a history major at Virginia Military Institute is examining the government policy on servicemembers, and how their First Amendment rights have changed from 1900 to the present in his 10-week Summer Undergraduate Research Institute (SURI) project titled, “True Faith and Allegiance: The First Amendment in the Military.” 08/02/2023 12:00 AM
