Mustard is I<illed By Using Spray At Durham Farm Thraugh the Durham Cr-op lIn- provement Association a spraying demonstration ta eradicate weeds in a grain field was arrangad on the farin ai Gardon Kellogg and Son, Port Hope, R. R. 1. Mr. James T. Brown, Newcastle, co- operated hy furnishing the tract- or-mountad waad aprayer ta treat the nine acres with 2-4, D. This weed killer is most successiul in destroying wild mustard and other braad-leafad waeds. Where a field is seeded down care must ha taken ta follow the directions by cutting dawn on the strength ai the solution. The spray is alsa very effective on corn when six ta tan inches high. The field af grain used in this experiment is on No. 2 High- way west ai Walcoma Corner on the south sida just wast o! the waigh scales. Spectators will notice a strip was lait un-;prayed ta demonsti:ate the killing affect ai the chemical. The chemical used is nat expensiva as the ina- teriai without the lahor is less than ana dollar per acre. With propar use of thia spray a mustard farin could ha dlean- cd up in a few yeara. On corn, ana fariner who owns a sprayer- claima it takes the place ai the aut-dated hoeing mathad. Far iurther information contact yaur Agricultural Representative, E. A. Summers, Bawmanvihle. Ontario Agriculural Coilege To Study Farm Lahor Prohlems F armrs in, Ontario have been having a hard turne iindimg enough good farm help for a l9ng tîie now. In this they are by no means any different from farm- ers ail over Canada, for the ex- adus from-farin to city bas been widespread durlng the iàst ten years. That the movement froin farina and farm work is by no means ended la shown bythe fact that between August 1950 and August 1951 the number of Can- adians engaged in farming drap- ped by 63,000-or 28 times the number of farmers in Durham County. Many suggestions. thearies, and opinions are advanced to explain the farm. labour probiem, but froin theinflot too much emerges except twa facts: first, that there is a farm labour problem, second, that no one knows toa much about it or how it is ta be soived. Because of these two facts' the Dept. of Agricuitural Economnics at the Ontario Agriculttural Col- laga, Guelph, plans ta carry out a study of farm labour during this spring and summer, with the hope of reaching some definite con- For Live Point Protection and Beauty You git bath sprood and ecanomny when yai, use the Sun-Proof Two- Coat Haute Paint System.

Flu-Cured Tobacco In Ontario Hits New High Record The estimated production ai ta- hacco in Canada was 153,792,000 pounds in 1951i. almost 28 par cent greater than in 1950, accord- ing ta the Dominion Bureau o! Statistica repart received hy the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Mar- keting Association. The flue-cured (cigarette ta- bacco) crop in Ontario exceaded 140 million paunds in 1951, up fram the previous year hy about 36 million pounds. This account- ed for practically al oi the in- crease in the 1951 Canadian tabac- co crop. Figures an flue-curad tabacco for. Ontario in 1951 ara as fallows: harvested area, 106,300 acres; av- erage yiald par acre, 1,317 pounds, production, 140,023,000 pounds; average price par pound, 44.37 cents; total farm valua, $62,121,- 000. In Quabec in 1951, 4,850 acres ware harvasted; average yield par acre. 793 pounds;, production, 3,- 846,000 poundseavarage price par pound, 40.1 cents; total farm valua, $1,539,000. Britsh Columbia flue-cured ta- bacco statistics for 1951 were as follows: harvested area, 150 acres; average yield par acre, 1,248 p a u n d s;, production, 180,000 pounds; average price per pound, 36.85 cents; total farm value, $69,- 000. It ia noted by the Dominion Bureau o! Statistics that an ad- ditional two cents per pound was paid for grading and tying.

Week - Poison Ivy Poison Ivy is a 'weed that is feared by ail, as a menace to the health o! those whe'game lnx con- tact with leIn.l statfng this fact, J. W. MacRae, Fieldmaa for the Crops Branch, Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculturq, feels that everyone should ba able to recog- nuze this weed, and avoid coming in contact with t. Poison Ivy is most commonly found growing in fence rows, roadsides. around bathing beach- es and playgrounds and in loca- tions where cultivation us next to impossible. In such locations one finds severai forms of Poison Ivy. One type creeps along the ground, another grows 1»/2 ta 2 feet high and a third is the climber, which ia found growing over lances and trees. Ail types are easily recognized by their leaves, which grow in groups of thrae at the top of the stem. These leaves are usuaily shiny or waxy on the top surface. Small greenish-yellow flowars develop in the axils of the leaves and these are followed by pale grey seeds which stay on the plant over the winter. In thefall, tAe leaves turn a brilliant orange or scarlet. Mr. MacRae says that Poison Ivy is easily destroyed where cul- tivation is possible, but it is sel- dom found in such places, but aven in tha more difficuit loca- tions, it can be grubbad out owith a heavy hoe or other digging lm- plamant. Ha warns those doing the digging ta be extremaly care- fui ta avaid tauching the plauit with the hands or other parts of tha body. Mr. MacRae points out that the weed killers 2-4, D and 2-4-5, T wil give good contrai, but saveral applications will be necassary ta camplately eradicate the weed. For large areas, the recammandeci dosage is 2 pounds of acid pqr acre. Howavar, for smali patches, 2% oz. af 2-4-5, T in 10 gallons of water wiil give effective con- traI. After treatment. the area shouid be watched for naw grawth. If new plants start up, further applications can be given, and the Poison Ivy wil aventu- aiiy be eradicated. In summing up tha contrai measures, Mr. MacRae feels that contrai of Poison Ivy can anly be brought about by persistent treat- ment, and ail effort put furth ta contrai and aradicate this men- ace will ha wall worth while. 1I the Editor's Mail1 FOLLY CAN LOWER LIVING STANDARDS Dean Sir: "Heads 1 wn, tails you hase" saems ta ha the dasire ai thasa labon spokesmen wha discredit the valua ai the cost-of-living wage bonus nbw that the cost-of- living index la falling. When the escalator clause was introduced ta wage cantracts labor leaders hailed it; public confidence in union leadership la not strength- anad by attacks an it now- that it can no longer ha used ta gain wage increases. No fair minded persan would claim that labor should ha denied a betten standard ai living as aur nation s pnoductivity increases and labon cannat cdaim it bas not had its full shana of that increase. Ulnion spokasmen are misinforin- ed or deliberately' misieading when they dlaim workers have not had a share in the henefits af ncreased praductivity in the past dozen yeara or that purchaslng power af wagas has no moFe than kept even with higher living costs. Since 1939 the cost-of-llv- ing index bas increased by 84 par cent whila average waakly manu- lacturing earnings in the same period have increased1 by 167 par cent. Figures recently released by Ottawa show that ta the past 20 years productivity in Canada has virtually doubled-partiy because of an increasa in population and partly because ai an increase in productivity par man hour. Waga earners have taken their share of aur increased praductivity In two ways: through higher earn- ings and through fewer haurs ai work. From 1927 ta 1951 the average work week in manufact- uring Industries decreasad from 51.8 hours ta 41.8 hours. Another factor ta conuider la that the increase In physical volume ai production par man hour bas heen due malnly ta tech- nologicai impravements, accamp- anied by greatar Investinent in more modern and more efficient machines. In ather wards, nat ail profits cajp ha paid out as waga increases or as dividends ta share- hoiders since much af aur ta- dustrial earnings <as wail as <Rev.> H.
