THURSTON, Editor Roadside Weeds KOITOUI.VL NOTES The announcement by the Ontario Hydro Commission of a ten per cent vebate to Hydro users of electric power in 1937, and who arc also users, at present, is received with gratification by all. For several years the municipalities on the Hydro system have received reductions on their rates when revenue justified such action, and this is the first in- stance that Flesherton has received a rebate in its history. Apparently the rates in Flesherton will remain as at present, as any reduction would not be available at the present revenue Farmers and city dwellers alike, will a^ree that country roads are the show windows of Ontario farms and are largely responsible for advertis- ing products of the soil. If roads are marred by an unsightly crop of weeds, tourists jfet a had impression and urban residents lose fiiith in rural Ontario as a producer of agricultural products .second to none in the world. There are seven good reasons why roadside weeds should be wiped out if existent. They (1) infest ad- joiiiinK farms; (2) spread plant di- seases; (;i) are dangerous to traffic; (i) will gather and hold snow; (5) clog ditches on roadsides and thus hinder the flow of water and proper drainage of the road bed, (6) are dangerous from a fire standpoint; (7) are unsightly to tourists and res- idents alike. The Weed Control Act of Ontario states roadside weeds must be de- stroyed before jpeeds .mature. The Municipal Council, through its road authority, is responsible for seeing that this work is done. Proper grad- ing of roadsides and removal of stones stumps and brush will enable the road authority to do this work quick- ly and efficiently. A thick seeding of a good grass mixture will make CEYLON of the system. In years past other municipalities have received rebates ^ a thick sod which prevents weeds of their hydro bill for one month, i from obtainng a foothold but this was thought not to be fair in many cases, hence the straight ten per cent rebate in the present instance. • • • Hon. Eric Cross, Minister of Mun- icipal Affairs in the Ontario govern- ment, denies that Ontario is over- governed and declared that adminis- tration costs were being increased by greater demands on government bodies rather than on the cost of government machinery. He also stated that his department was opposed to the proposal that County Councils in the Province should be abolished. These declaiations were made before a meeting of the Ontario Municipal Association in Toronto on Thui'sday last. This statement is received with gratification by the municipalities of Ontario as the tax burden at the present time is a bur- den to the majority and if the County Councils can take over some more of the duties that the Pi"ovincial Govern- ments have taken away from them, and do so at a decreased cost to the latopayers, so much the better. Mr. Cross stated that thirty-eight County Councils in Ontario are oper- ating at an annual cost of only $167,- 000 and they are administering bud- gets totalling $15,000,000. "We can- not see any advantage that might accrue from abolition of this very necessary form of government,'' said Mr. Cross. In commenting on the work of the government in assuming the cost of services formerly paid in part by the County Councils the Min- ister said: "The Province is looking after municipalities as far as is poss- ible within the limits of its own budget. Municipalities benefitted to the extent of 511.000,000 through the one-mill subsidy allowed this year. The Province has assumed full cost of Mothers' Allowances and Old Age Pensions, and the maintenance of in- Jigent tubercular patients, in addition to increasing road allowances. I be- lieve these things indicate in a con- crete way the interest of the Govern- ment in youi- problem." Chemical weed killers have proved efficient and many municipalises have greatly improved county and town- ship roads in a weed clean up via the chemical route. Maybe your municii>ality has help- ed you out in this manner. If not; why not? Don't forget the municipality is responsible for eradication of all nox- ious weeds within its boundaries. A (JUEAI- SCHK.ME Potato Crop Report The early Irish Cobbler crop is, fairly well cleared and the intermed- iate crop is moving to market from the central part of the province. A shortage of moisture during June and July retarded growth of plants and development of tubers with the re- sult that low yields are being har- vested. The quality is excellent. The late crop presents a favour- able appearance at present. During the past two weeks the rainfall gen- erally has been beneficial and plant growth excellent. The potato bug has been well kept in control by the use of poison ap- plications but the leaf hoppers have (tt)ne considerable damage to the plants because bordeaux has not been properly applied, and some damage to plants is apparent which will re- duce the yield at digging time. Growers are advised to dust or spray with bordeaux thoroughly for Jeaf hopper control or disappointing yields will bo the result. There is no ev- idence of late blight at this date but the present weather conditions with its sultry atmosphere and frequent showers, should they continue, are favourable for its development. The preventative measures are timely ap- l)lications of bordeaux that will cov- er the plants on the under side of the leaves as well as on top.

Food That Caused Death Hospital records are stones of life and dea'th. He.e is an acti'.al record ti>l en from one of Canada's largest hospitals. In June, Wilhe B'ank, A.Miding in a town about sixty miles dis?tiiit from the city in which ths hospital is lo- cated, developed a htadatho and fev- er, quickly becoming very ill. A con- sultant was called. He diagnosed (he case as meningitis, which in lay language is inflammation of the mem- brane around the bid'n. The child was rushed to the hospital where it Jwas confirmed that he had bovine tuberculosis meningitis; but despite all efforts known to .-.cinntific medi- y;ine to save the life of this curiy- headed three year old boy, he died. WTiere did he get llie bovine tu- bercular germ? From inilk most likely. So the doctors began their investigation and with little difficulty they traced the milk supply of the family to one herd of cow.s anci dis- covered one of the cows to be infect- 'e<l with tuberculosis of the exact tytpe which killed Willie Ul-nk. Six monitns previous to the infec- tion and death of this child the cit- izens of the town in which he lived defeated a By-law which, if passed, would have made it compulsory for all milk sold within the town to be pasteurized. Pasteurization kills germs in milk and had the By-law passed instead of being defeated, it is reasonable to think that Willie Blank would have been alive today. Since pasteurization of all milk sold for public consumption became compulsory in one of Canada s largest cities twenty-three years ago there has not been one case of bovine tu- berculosis traced to the milk supply within that city. Pasteurization of milk kili.i the germs that destroy life and pasteur- ization makes milk safe for you and your children. Contrary to many statements made by ill-informed per- sons who for various reasons oppose pasteurization of milk, it may be said with confidence bom of facts that pasteurization does not destroy the food value of milk. Children â€" hundreds and thousands of them thrive on pasteurized milk every day. Safe milk for all children and all adults should be a goal for all Can- ida. Pasteurization of milk is tlie answer.
