main st tr 73611 townmrnanonal iruqcdtolar g im a willing victim every spring no matter how dis couraged i may feel come arid august dreams ot verdant paradise shattered by weeds plant pests and seeds that never did come up no matter how disappointed by those scraggly rosebushes that were supposed to make hedge of bloom by the petunias that didnt live up to their description on the seed packet by those heavenly blue morning glories so full of buds and promise that didnt quite make it before the irost i repeat in spite of it all 1 m a willing victim come spring when the gardening bug puts the bite on me when the last crusts ot snow melt into the earth like butjer on a piece of warm toast it starts with the sight of those first tender leaves and the delicate blooms of crocuses and snowdrops im goiter out comes the seed cata logue it s my downfall those pic tures and descriptions well who could resist g just for fun i looked up the word gardening in a dictionary it was defined as the economy or management of plants well suffice it to say that is not a fitting description of my gardening efforts there s no economy in ordering enough seeds to plant half an acre when your flower beds are already bulging at the borders with perennials is there and by the same token the managing part doesn t apply me either you know those perennials are so small and com pactin the spring it s hard to realize that by midsummer theyll all become good size shrubs often by august tve even forgotten where i planted those speeds that never did sprout i like to think there s hope for me tho each year i learn more about what not to plant next year if i live long enough i might one day earn for myself the title of gardener ft for even experienced gardeners however i strong ly suspect their happiest time is in the spring when aching backs and grubby hands are bal anced by visions of the best garden yet be it flowers or vegetables which reminds me of the time we lived in a house that had a little vegetable garden it was fun we grew just enough fpr the table and made the wonderful discovery that absolutely vegetabe grown ever tastes as uniquely delicious as the one planted and grown in your own garden we missed the little vegetable garden when we moved to our present home perhaps that s why i can t resist sneaking a few into that overcrowded flower garden as a result we have asparagus popping up at odd points at the back of the flower bed a goodly patch of rhubarb chives in the rock garden and sometimes a couple of tomato plants just for the fun of watching the tomatoes rippen g while were still on the subject of gardening we musn t overlook those who have lawns as their labour of love this is a specialized branch of gardening about which i know next to nothing other than the fact that when the grass gets too long it has to be cut along with every one else however i admire yes even envy the householder with a velvety expanse of green turf complementing his home g you ll note i said i knew next to nothing about lawns i do have a little tip op the care of lawns up my sleeve which i ttnnk is too good to keep to myself like most discoveries it was chanced upon accidentally when a friend of mine phoned a frtend of hers as is the way with gals before launching into a littie phone chat she asked what last thursdays visit of the gg was a great deal better attended than we exyecttsi it would be by legion members we thought as the hour was such an awkward one that very few would be there however both the army and the branch made a creditable perfor mance one thing that we thought was very poor tho was the lack of interest shown in the downtown section of town there were few flags only 3 flying and very few acknowledgements in windows of the vice regal visit we feel that a great deal more effort could havi been made to smarten up the down town for the visit the story that is our favorite about the visit was the one about that lengthy conversation he held with a certain sergeant major di ing his inspection later that evening the gentleman concerned halton county weed control news by v e mcarthur county weed inspector was asked what the big brass 1 had to say the answer went like this he said to me hi shep jtoply hello vince what are you doing now sir i am chief lubricating en gincer on the engingecring staff of alliance paper mills ltd and also chief consultant on all lubn cation problems to the general manager reply that must be quite a po sition and with a dazed look the gc moved on now that s just the way it wa told to us the annual zone church parade is to be held in brampton thi year on june 7th it is hoped that a good number will be present to thi sfrom branch 120 both the wa and the imperial section all are urged to bring a colour

the local golf course and a large num her are expected to attend from the zone were you doing when i phoned to which her friend replied oh i was just out vacuuming off the lajvn to which my aston ished friend replied vacuuming off the lawn to which her industrious friend replied why yes the dandelions have gone to seed you know and we thought it would be a good idea to vacuum up the fluffy heads before they spread all over the lawn and reseeded for next year g well i may not be any great shakes as a gardener but never let it said don t keep on the lookout for hints on how to become a better one waed control conservation perhaps the most common def nition of a weed is a plant out of place down through the age- these out of place plants have been a serious enemy of agricul ture ever since that historic oc casion recorded in scripture when while men slept his enemj came and sowed tares among the wheat the farmer has been fifhtinfc weeds sections of this province have occasionally become so oer run with serious weeds that aban doned farms hae been the result to say nothing of the heavy an nual losses suffered bj farmers from weed infestation the weed control act of onta no is designed to give the farmers protection against some of the moat hazardous weeds schedule i of the act designates 25 ar icties as being noxious this how cer being onl a small percentage of the plants commonly known as weeds there is no attempt bcine made to completely eradicate the lejs harmful weeds this county happens to be one of the parts of ontario which is ra pidly changing many farms arc being sold for residential and duslrial development durinj this transition period active farms need protection from adjacent idle land and weed control has bee ome a problem eventually these areas become built up and urban izcd and here aain a weed con trol program is necessary to pro tect property values ragweed and poison ivy also must be eradicated in fairness to residents and tors who arc susceptible to their hazards in an article published in the star weekly magazine of march 7th 1959 entitled why we need weeds the writer seemed to op pose present weed control mclh ods it pointed out that certain mo dern farm cultural practices car ned on with the aid of commercial products tended to destroy nature s way of supplying food and cover for the birds building and mam taming soil fertility etc i bcl icve there is a great deal of truth in this but i wish to point out that due to economic conditions the farmer is very often compelled to clean up stump and rail fences and control noxious weeds in order to ccure profitable production on his farm chemical research is providing an ever increasing num ber of selective weed killers which when properly used by farmers are an excellent aid to good cul tural practices stnce a hundred years or more of progress have wrought many changes in this country and some times nature s balance has been p adjustm are nc farm news plan
