highest award in the county one of the judges h henry fields crops branch of the ont ado agriculture branch in guclph praised eugene for the genuine feeling placed in his cs say he told the other winners that it was necessary in writing an essay to know their subject and to believe in what they were writing about the following is the essay that won the highest award in the 1960 county of halton weed essay competition we wage war on weeds wecdsi which are described in our dictionary a troublesome unprofitable growths are of no use at all and give us good rea son for wanting lo wage war on them thev spoil the appearance of lawns fields and roadsides they are injurious to health and thev are destructive arc these the plants we want to beautifv our surroundings i think not but i also think some people do not care how much grief hey cause those who try to keep beautiful gardens and lawns 1 such careless people could almost be considered o menace to the public because lit orally speaking thev breed these plants besides ruining the ap pearance of then own propertv the seeds scattered from these weeds infest other peoples lawns and gardens if no one tries to fight them the weeds would soon be in possession of our fields tawns and gardens some weeds are injurious to health between mid july and october is hay fever season do we realize how serious this tergy is if vou became a vic tim vour eyes would puff up and run water vour nose would run and vou could even become naus eated do we fullv realise that the hav fever count has gone up 25 per cent just in hamilton and wcinitv it will probabh contin ue to nse if we do not do some thing to control ragweed anvone who has this allergy will agree with me that tt would be an e celknt place to start our vsar anvone who has over hid pot son iw knows how rnoch dis comfort this weed can eausc if vour skin comes in contact with leaves blisters will appear tausing vour flesh to itch nnd swell if not treated it mav spread over the body these arc just two examples of health problems caused by weeds perhaps farmers rcallv work the hardest in our war on weeds they know that weeds in their fields steal food and spate from their crops so they are always at work in an effort lo destroy them bv cultivating using new chemtcil weed killers or by cut tmg digging them out and bum ing them you mnv think because we live in a town that our part in weed tontrol is nut important but i disagree i think we should all enlist in the fight i am sure if our neighbors see us doing our part it will encourage them to get out and join the battle if we all work together even though we ma not completely wipe out this tommon encrnv we can cer- lamh help to keep it under con trol and this would be a big step in the right direction so come on everyone get dressed in vour jeans find vour hoe and weed killers and otn the armv whith is out to wage vv ar on weeds frank carney and sam ltd hakdwak plumbing and heating
