studieo during county tour jew on wednesday of last week we had the privilege of taking in a tour planned and conducted by county weed inspector vernon mcarthur it provided an excel lent opportunity for the members of the agricultural committee of the halton county council to get a picture of some of the problems and accomplishments in weed control work frankly we got a bit of a lift because when one sees here and there fields of wild carrot with no apparent ef fort being made to combat it we were beginning to wonder true we know of quite a goodly num ber of farms where it is difficult to find a weed in flower as a matter of fact we accompanied judge norman bird earlier in the week when he was making hi third and final inspection wsit to the 21 competitors in the pasture programme competition sponsor ed bj the halton crop improve ment association and we were on a number of farms where it is difficult to find a weed those who think that weeds can t be con trolled and are tempted to sa hat s the use should visit a farm down near tansley on the dundas street on this 100 acre farm there is not a weed to be seen the op erator took off 6 000 bales of ha this year his granary including the passageway is filled to capaci t and downstairs in one wing of the stable is a box stall which must be at least 10 feet square filled with more grain to a height of 5 or 6 ft and there was ample pasture for the milking herd every time we called there this past summer and yet many of us a 100 acre farm is too small that 100 acre farm is producing as much as many 200 acre farms however to get back to the tour with the agricultural committee we saw a good job of weed con trol being done on the count roads and yes most of the town ship roads were in pretty fair shape too we saw what george town is doing in attempting to control weeds in their newly an nexed areas over near eden mills we met deputy reeve ben ham of framosa who showed and told us what they are doing to er adicate common barberry and buckthorn the host plants for stem and crown rusts of grain down near bronte we had a short trip around the city service oil refineries and saw and heard of their plans to control weeds and beautify their property on our trip county weed inspec tor mcarthur pointed out areas where the owners had taken care of their weeds by chemicals or cutting perhaps the highlight of the tour was a visit to the trafal gar works department where the road superintendent jack orr de monstrated some of his new town ship equipment as he demon strated the mott hammer knife vice president brock harris of the crop improvement association stated you know thats a mach tne which two farmers could own and use profitably this rotary machine appears to chew up weeds and brush with the greatest of ease it is be ing utilised by trafalgar to take care of weed areas in the new subdivisions then we saw their new weed spraying outfit tt does a multiplicity of job and ap pears to do them all equally well all of our rural municipalities and also some of the urban one too are to be commended for the leadership they are giving to weedcontrol call or write a dick riddall 4 ostrander
