country would become a desert and farm ing would be impossible from this it can be seen that constant vigilance and work is required to keep weeds from spreading and to eradicate those already present one of the first steps is to cut all weeds before they produce seed whether we- live in the urban or rural parts of halton county let us bear these facts in mind and resolve to do our part in the- war

write about my first jour ney in this great new adventure annuals which grow flower and set seed air in one year these are usually prolific seeders producing several thousand seeds per plant in many caves these weeds should be cut before- the seed sets in order to keep them under cofl- trol but each and every weed must be destroyed as the seeds from just one plant can produce a whole new crop the following yea- in the longlived or perennial type of weed there are many that spread by underground root stocks as well as from seed these pre sent a double problem as the roots if not destroyed will spread to new locations even though the aboveground portion of the plant is cut and burned wind water animals and man are responsible for the spread of most weeds the seeds of many plantsare- equipped with tiny wings or parachutes to enable the wind to scatter them far and wide water especially at flood time carries many more weed seeds to new locations and other weeds such as burrs cling to animals and spread in that way man however is the greatest offen der and when he plants seed that is not weed seed free can multi ply the stands of old and new weeds at an alarming rate it has been
