A problem in which every per-! son who owns a square foot of land should ■ be intensely interested, weeds are neglected they will take posession. In every municipality we have places where people are careless and weeds have been neglected. Fortunately, the percentage of such is very low. One neglected patch may pollute acres the following year. There is nothing so discouraging for a person who is making an effort to control weeds as to be living near someone who does not make tempt to do so. The careful ratepayer last, demands protection and is entitled to it. Every country in the world that developed a worth-while agricultural practice has weeds, and the majority have adopted legislation to control them. It has been found necessary to do likewise in this province. However, legislation in itself will not control a single weed. Any work done must be the result of definite human action. Co-operation, united effort and immediate action are necessary in pre venting weeds from going to seed. New weeds are continually appearing and must not be permitted to increase. If your municipality is clean this is a good time to keep it clean. Weed Inspectors have been appointed in every municipality in the province, and the 1935 war on weeds is under way. Every weed that is destroyed means thousands of seeds destroyed. Enlist now and help destroy the enemy. Co-operate by pulling, hoeing, spraying, cutting, spudding out, plowing and cultivating to destroy weeds and by persuading someone else to do likewise. Weeds have no place in a progressive community; prevent them from going to seed. Do your share and help protect the most important industry in the province--"Agriculture.""

Mr. Raymond, the Prudential man, Cobourg, was in the village on Tues- . fair crop : YES, It's True That the Colborne Express is owned by an individual. It is his property and he must pay the bills and assume all responsibilities. On the other hand, it is also true that somehow or other the public looks upon the community newspaper as being partly their property. The community expects its public institutions to be defended, to be favorably reported, to be kept in good report throughout the dstrict and the Province. Churches, societies and organizations look for and expect their activities to be reported in their home paper. And the home paper does all these things--likes to do them. This being so, it is only human that the owner of, and those who are employed at, the local newspaper office should expect that all these various interests would return the compliment through giving it printing orders. If all the printing requirements of this district were to be printed in Colborne, The Express would have to more than double its present staff. Mrs. C. Fraser Early and late peas last week and only reported. Mr. and Mrs. Niles Cowey and family visited Mr. and Mrs. J. Cowey on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. Atchison of Toronto spent the weekend with M: C.

Mr. George Rowe, superintendent of ir local shoe "hospital," is busy ese evenings making a good job of s customers' work. Even a pair of ,4f!6.iu-L*t worthless shoes can be remade by his capable hands, whose work is a boon and blessing in these days that call for economy. A Smith Transport lanrfed a new binder at Mr. Scef Turk's. Eddystone, at 3 o'clock, and at 6.30 the machine was assembled and ready for grain putting. This was record work, caused by the demand on Mr. Redner' jtime during the past week, in which he has assembled nine binders. The treckers made several calls residents in the neighbourhood Thursday evening, soliciting food and clothing, and in nearly every instance received something to help them meet their needs;'for their long journey. We cannot truly sympathize with thr-- people for unemployment is not well known word in this section. A local politicitn was at part of his speech which hoped would "click" the other ev ing. Someway he couldn't hold the attention of his audience. Appealing to the chairman, he asked for silence. "Why," he said "I cannot hear myself speak."

Foreign Trade Better Canada's exports gains each mo A provide concrete evidence of the effectiveness of the present administration's aggressive trade policies. Figures for May, just issue:! by the Department of Trade anc'l Commerce, show total exports oi $62,101,000 whjich mak|es a most favourable comparison with the $27.900,000 total of May a year ago. In some lines of agriculture there was a decline! minerals slipped a little also. But there was a large increase in some other products in the same categories. While there was a drop in wheat and wheat fl;mr ev-ports, there was an inc-ease in barley and vegetables. The largest gain in agricultural produces, however, was in cattle which jumped from $210,000 a year ago to $1,337,000 in the month under review. Most of this business was with the United, States. In spite of the high, tariff Canada has been able to ship cattle into the United States profitably because of the shortage in that market. Export of motor caw also made a large gain in May, rising from $1,-670.000 to $2,598,000. The increase in autos sent to the United Kingdom was an important item in this gain, growing from $196,000 to $639,000. The most spectacular rise in exports was in aluminum. A year ago May exports of aluminum were valued at $213,000. During the corresponding manth this year there was a jump to $2,497,000, most of it going to the United Kingdom. The general trend was ahead, with Canada's favourable trade balance making further headway.

The question naturally arises, "For whoni shall I vote?" There is just one fair answer to that question, as long as we adhere to the principles of democracy in Canada. That answer means work. Dig for the facts. Think. , Opinions flicker about everywhere in abundance, but facts are hard to track down. Unfortunately, they are easier to find that facts and truth. Rumours, too. and selfishly and maliciously inspired utruths are all too plentiful at election time. Digging for facts, and getting them means hard work. Serious thinking is even harder work. Figures are dry in themselves, but not when they tell the story of a nation of human beings, made up of w^rm flesh and blood, having been saved from chaos or starve tion. Economic difficulties such as Canada and all the world face to-day will never be solved by outbursts of emotion of the baby-kissing tactics of old. Nor will the barber shop gossib and merely "votin' again the Government" provide the right answer. Never be*-lore perhaps has there been better cause to plead for commonsense and cool unprejudiced contemplation by than exists to-day.

Good News for Oshawa There is good news for Oshawa in the announcement that General Motors of Canada is to spend $300,000 in enlarging and rearranging its plant, with additional equipment In preparation for still bigger business. Tt is announced that parts and tools not hitherton made in Canada will be produced in the Oshawa plant. This will mean new departments, and these will be provided for in the greatly enlarged premises. The people of the Motor City will be well pleased by this evidence of the progress of this vast industrial enterprise. Canadian macaroni is becoming a favourite dish in China. In 1934 the imports of Canadian macaroni into Hongkong were greater than the combined imports from Italy and France. Cherries picked at Fort Erie, Ont., were recently delivered in Wininpeg by aeroplane, the distance of 1,185 miles being made in nine hours and 40 minutes. As in former years, flour ranks as the principal commodity imported into Hongkong from Canada, and, in keeping with other Canadian products in 1934, showed an increase in trade over the previous year. As an example of contrasts of climate in Canada, the spring on the Vancouver coast has not only been late and cold but also very dry, 47 days prior to June 11 (when the report was issued) having been without A three-year study by the Division of Economic Fibre Production of the Experimental Farms Branch has shown that Canadian home-grown flaxseed has given a higher yield of fibre but a lower yield of seed per acre than imported seed. For the 27 weeks ended July 4th, 1935, the number of hogs graded in Canada was 1.595,292. of which 537, were graded alive at stockyards; 1,020,019 alive at packing plants, and "",524 by carcass. Couch Grass Control It has been found that the roots of couch grass can be killed in three four days by exposing them to the sun and air during wa,rm dry weather. Authorities recommend the following treatment. Plough the infested area four inches deep when it is in sod. may be delayed untir the middle of July and the land used until that time for hay or pasture. After plou-hing use the disc to break down the furrows and induce rotting of the After discing cultivate every three or four days during dry weather rder to bring the couch grass 5 to the surface. Plough again in the fall and in the following spring ow a smother crop or plant a hoed crop. This has proved to be a very satisfactory way to control couch grass. Water for Poultry ccording to the Dominion Poultry Husbandman, an abundant supply of clean, fresh water sltould be available Intelligent voting means intelligent at all times to the growing and lay-representatives in Parliament where j ing flock. Since water makes up 66 the laws of the land are rrmde-not made. Intelligent representatives Parliament means intelligent gov-ment of the nation and its business. i per cent of an egg, it is imperative to ' high egg production and it helps greatly in the assimilation of poultry feeds. Clean water is necessary, not only from a sanitation standpoint, but also to help controV egg flavour. Butter Wrappers at Express Office The total nmber of pedigree certificates registered by the Canadian National Livestock Records, approved the Dominion Minister of Agricul-e, for the month of June, 1935, was 4.504, including 309 horses; 2,879 e; 244 sheep; 366 swine; 94 foxes; 590 dogs; one poultry, and 21 goats. One serious aspect of soil drifting that is seldom mentioned is the impossibility of keeping the dirt out of the home during dust storms. Grit and grime must be endured in food, in beds, in furniture and on the floors until the wind subsides. Then it is necessary to clean thick layers of loose soil from everything, only to have the experience repeated with the new wind storm. Returns of the production of pro-cessed cheese in Canada were-collected by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for the first time in 1924. Total production in that year amounted to 16,893, 283 pounds. Since 1925, when 32,652,569 were produced, production has declined, droppng to 10,63-5,024 pounds in 1933. Production in 1934 amounted to 11,996,348 pounds, an increase, over 1933 of 1,361,342 pounds, o,r 13 per cent.
