encouraging to note that all four townships in addition to the county have or are spravinj their roadsides it is quite notic able that some municipalities ha got a better kill on their roadsides than others we have everv con fidence that as time goes on and as the men doing the work become more accustomed to using the various chemicals n better job will be done it definitely takes ex perience with the 24 ds to get good results that the 24 d s will kill chicory and wild carrot is however verv evident one has only to visit some of the farms where they arg spraying their fenri bottoms or where thev are sprav ing the roadsides in front of their respective forma to know that 24 d if mixed at the proper strength- applied jn sufficient quantity and at the proper time will definitely do a complete job and at a reasonable cost incidentally it l encouraging to note more and more holton farmers spraying their fence bottoms and in some cases their grain and pastures while there is much in the way of weed eradication requiring at tention it ls encouraging to note that our municipal authorities and farm leaders arc making some ef fort to correct the situation need less to add there is much to be accomplished if halton is to retain her place as one of the leading counties in ontario agriculture if maximum results arc to be secured from the expenditures being made for weed eradication then it would seem to us that our county crop improvement as sociation must give some leadership towards organizing and sponsoring a spray day next may the literature on chemical weed
