Should Plow Deep To Kill Il Chicory rly Too, Are Effective In the Eradication of One of -Ontario's Most Objection: able Weeds » Chicory is fast becoming one of fhe most gbjectlonable of the per. énnial weeds found' In Ontario, says John - D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont, Dept «of Agricylture, Toronto. In. troduced from EFuropé years ago, It was grown to a Ihnited extent as a cu ited plant for. its roots "sehiieh wera ground awd mixed A&ith coffee . a/ Today it is one of the most troublesome seeds ta be "folifid on roadsides, fenced fines, vacant places and occasionally = in, cultivated fields. Chicory is bright blue in color;< his 1éafless much-branched stems bearing numerous clusters of * flower heads on the 'naked branches, The flowers are about one inch across and usually closed by noon. The leaves are long with irregular edges spread along the ground. ' THOROUGH CULTIVATION The roots are thick and go down deep. That is why it is necessary to plow- deep witha sharp share so that all roots will be cut off wéll "below the crown. Thorough cultl- vation should follow at regular in- tervals using wide shares which overlap in the cultivator. Cultiva- tion and a short rotation: of crops will control this weed. Chicory' can be eradicated 100 per cent with chemicals at costs which are not prohibitive. This method is recommended where cul: tivation is not possible.» Mr. Mac- Leod advises consultation with your , nearest Agricultural Repre- Branch, Parliament--Buildings; T'6- ronto, for pamphlet No. 60--"W¢ced Eradication by Chemicals." It Is free of charge. Due to length of root, Chicory ed plants should be spudded off below (the crown: 3 : A a, Old Time "Bees' ' Farmers Overcome Labor Shortage by Reviving Pioneer- Custom Old fashion work "bees," popular pioneer methog of getting work done. when laborers were at a | A premium are once again solving" the----labor-- shortage problem in Nova Scotian With many farm hands having exchanged their denim for farmers here have been hard press- _ ed to Keep their fields going.

WOMEN ALSO HELP But the lore of their pioneering forefathers promises to pull them' through, In the evenings, after their work in the plant the. men do not disperse to their n pro- perties, but go in a group to one . farm, There they hay, shingle the barn, weed turnips--in fact, do anything there is to do. Their wives help' by serving community suppers. Time limit for the co-operative effort is two hours an evening, and go far the Idea has clicked.

The rootless cut. tings are lald on the shelves, the bare ends, where roots are desired, sticking through the holes. Behind this curtain, where the bare ends project, the air Is kept extremely moist by another simple, cheap and - easily home-made gad- get. There is a trough of water at the space, with strips of ab "ent cloth hanging down, - acting as wicks to spread the moisture, In the high moisture thus created in the air, ro~{s have developed - rapldly on -many different plant cuttings, including begonias, ger- anlums, phlox and ivy.
