K.C., Barrister. for the County Town William near- feltlrthat something should be done to check the spread of certain noxi- ous weeds, which at that time were quite common on many Ontario farms. They acted in advance of pub- lic opinion, however, as they were practically ignored in many respects. the laws then in forse. Foninstance, it was observed that the railways of the country were a. very fertile so'urce for the propagation and spread of weeds. Consequently, laws were pas- sad that the road allowance should be put into grass, and that the weeds should be‘cut at a. certain time in July to prevent from seeding. The railway companies are looking after the matter far better than the farm- ers are doing- on the public highways in many localities. ,THE OWNERS RESPONSIBLE. The law regarding the destruction of weeds on the highways was left. formerly in the hands of the path- mnster. A few years ago, however. this law changed. Now the onus of their destruction rests with the own- er or occupant of lands. who is re sponsbble for the prevention of all weeds going to seed on that part of roadway adjoining his own property. This law, it would seem, should be carried out. Many farmers. however, are neglecting to do this. It should be better enforced by the municipali- ty. 'lhe herd law in force might be limbered up to allow sheep the priv- ilege of pasturing on the roadside. We have no more valuable agent than sheep for the prevention of the spread of noxious weeds. It would be far better to have the readside sheep than the roadside curs, which are largely responsible for the compare.- tively few sheep in this-country. ,L2__ Notwithstmiding our laws relating to highways, such weeds as blue weed, chickory. ox eye daisy, teasel and a number of others are spreading. In some clover seed producing dis- tricts, the rib grass or buckhorn lit- erally covers the highway. A farmer can clean it out of his fields fairly well by adopting a short rotation. but the highway continues ‘to supply him with seed. Herc sheep would be especially useful, as they are fond of :these plants. They have a good lik- 1 in: for the perennial sow thistle, also Where hogs are allowed to run on the road. they frtquently turn sods upsiae down. This gives the seed of such weeds as the perennial sow thistle; etc., a good chance to locate. Unless sheep are there to counteract this danger, it eventually becomes a menace to neighboring farms. An- other neglect on the part of improv- ers of our public highways is thas when tbev grade the roads, they tand. wild oats, Canada. thistle, ox eye daisy. burdock and teasel. Had a. little attention bewn paid to that, law, fewer farms to-day would have Ibsen reeking with Wild mustard and wild oats. But whoever heard of a single case being brought into the court. Public opinion was not edu- cated to the danger of those weeds. As a. resubt, wild oats were freely AS a tummy, "I“ wvu n--- , ,, ' exchanged in seed oats. and wild oats. But whoever heard of a. singlv case being brought into the court ? Public opinion was not ecucated to the danger of those weeds. As a “re- ‘sult, wild oats were freely enchangx-d ‘ln sad oats and wild mustard seed 'went all over the country, not. so {mm-h, perhaps, in seed grain as in clover seed. DISOBEYED THE LAW. Some years ago, the Ontario legis- lature paSSed a law making it. un- lawful for a. farmer to sell seed grain containing any one of the following six noxious weed seeds: Wild mus- vlvw‘-J _ 7"â€" one. whereby on, (Rev applicatién of 50 ratepayers in a, municipality. they might force the council to appoint - L'~_ ma crop which contained a. certain per. cent. of weeds. Our Ontario law pre- vents the thon of weeds in a. grain crop by an inspector whom the grain crop in consequence would be jeopardized. In the case of the per- ennial sow thistle, the weed which the Ontario farmer is up against in a real sense to-day. such a. law is in- effective. There are many farmersi who feel strongly the need to ask for protection from a careless or indifler- ‘ent farmer who allows his perennial ‘sow thistles to go to seed. The bet- ter the farming, the greater the den- ger from perennial sow thistle con- tamination. To say that this weed is spreading is drawing it only mild- ly. It is spreading with leaps and bounds, and there is no encourage- Imeat to its eradication unless our farms can be protected through fu- ture supplies of seed. If the W8 iwould speak out on this question and lpost their representatives of the ;â€"â€"L -t‘ A 7 Another law which has been prac- tically a dead lctger is the optional a weed inspector, whose duties were to pmvent the spread of weeds in neglected and waste places on the {m and roadways. This law did notgoasfarassomofthe weed laws in the western provinm. There .the inspectors hair‘é power to order or cause the {weeds to be destroyed in a p060 one“ - vr.w--_ - danger of this weedrii is probable shat it would be fully discussed by the agricultural committee of the legislature this year, and eventually Some protection-might be afforded to clean farmers. / WEEDS LESSER NOW.

Dealers. ob- ject to putting up their sign, think- ing that it is like putting a. board on the cow's face. Purchasers of seed have the law to protect them- selves. If seed grain contains more than one of such seeds to the pound it should be labelled with the name and sadness of the seller, kind of seed ofiemd and the common name of the weed seed present. It has been urged that educational means are far more effective than the passing of laws to prevent the spread of weeds. It is true that any luvs that are passed should be used in an educationa} way by soliciting the hearty co-meration of all con- tones to the preventiOn of the spread of noxious weeds. The averagefiource of seed supply is freer from weeds to-day than ever it was. Especially is this true in the case 0! timothy, alsike and red clover. There con- tinues to be sown, howevfer. lots of seed grain containing more or less of prohibited weed seeds without. any label being put on the package as is mquircd by law.
