Happily, only one reported collision in eight results in loss of life. But the Ontario Safety League points out that whole families have been wiped out at rail crossings. Here is an eye-witness report of a multiple killing, by Margaret Chute of Cleveland, Ohio; she heads it "Murder in the Afternoon". "From first to last I s v it. It was a Sunday afternoon. I watched the murder from a peculiar and horrible vantage point. The driver crashed his car at 60 m.p.h. into a wall of steel. I was behind that steel wall -- looking down through the train window as his car hit directly under me. We were coming south, just outside of Lapeer, Michigan. I was idly watching as a car approached down a long road that angled widely towards the track. I wondered why the car was coming so fast. One big crossing blast had already sounded. And the driver wasn't slowing. There was a second, harder, urgent blast. The engineer was sitting on the horn. The car sped on at full speed. My right hand reached to hold the seat ahead -- my eyes said he would hit by my window. I knew it was death. I watched every awful second, and then it happened. The hood of the car smashed right under my face like an explosion. Something rammed the floor up in a broken hump under my feet and jolted me up off the seat. There was a grinding, dragging something coming along with us, fastened to the side of the train. Some hundreds of yards farther on the train came to a stop. There were eight people lying back along the tracks, six of them children. They said the baby looked like a lovely big doll lying there between the rails. Next time you drive, please remember this man who drove at 60 m.p.h. into the side of a steel train." attending the Cherry re-union in Toronto on Sunday. July 17th and spending a week with relatives.

ONE IN THIRTEEN -- WILD OATS For the last five years, one out of every 13 samples of seed grain collected for the Ontario Seed Drill Survey contained wild oats. One wild oat plant produces 250 seeds. If 95 per cent of these seeds rot in the ground, 13 seeds will still germinate and grow. The Field Crops Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture points out that if all 18 of these seeds germinated and grew at the same time it would" not be so serious. It's unfortunate, but true, that some wild oats germinate at once; others may take two or three years. It is also unfortunate that the seed heads shatter earlier than most cultivated oats. So one unwelcome legacy is left in the field after harvest. A heavy infestation of wild wild oats can cut oat yields in half, wheat by a third, and barley by 15 per cent: If you have a wild oat problem, a combination of treatments is necessary. Fall working after harvest will start the quick ones growing; winter will kill this crop, spring starts another batch; when you work up the field for seeding you take care of the second crop of wild oats. Do not stop now though. Sow an early crop like Shield and get it off before the wild ones mature. You will get a lower yield of oats, but you will get rid of a lot of wild oats Pre-plant treatments with the herbicide Avadex or a post-emergent spray with carbyne have given good results in western Canada. Tests are underway in Ontario to see if tey are right for our conditions. Remember only Registered Number One seed is guaranteed free from old oats.
