A slow-burning cotton rope with firecrackers inserted into the twist makes an effective device to repel blackbirds, The method was develop- EE ed by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Water Hemlock Dangerous To Both Man and Beast Water Hemlock is a native Cana- diah weed known also by such"names as spotted cowbane, spotted hemlock, musquash. root, beaver poison and poison parsnip, But, by whatever name it is known locally, it is pxtreme- ly poisonous both to man and animals, advises the Field Crops Branch of the Ontario Department of Agrieul- ture. : - Water Hemlock is a perennial which grows from two to six feet in height and thrives in low, wet, swam- py areas, ditch bottoms, stream banks and wet," poorly drained pastures. The stems of the plant are hollow, smooth, sometimes purple-striped and ridged. The flowers are white and grow in large clusters. - The roots are tuberous and somewhat like those of the dahlia: The whole plant is poisonous but the roots are particularly so. In the spring when the ground is wet and soft, pasturing cattle will pull at the new shoots and the whole plant, in- cluding the root, will be pulled up and caten. Death usually follows so quickly that there is no time to ap- ply counteractive measures. There have been a few human deaths in Ontario which were also attributed to Water Hemlock poisoning, A piece of root the size of a cube of sugar is fatal to both animals and humans. Water Hemlock is found in many areas of Ontario and for safety's sake, everyone should learn to recog- nize this dangerous weed. Pasture land should be examined in the spring and whtre the weed is discovered it should be pulled out and all plants destroyed before livestock .are allow- ed into the area. ' Heware of any plant with dahlia- like tuberous roots, hollow, jointed, purple-tinged and ridged stems, clus- ters of white flowers, and rather long, narrow, notched leaves, Speedometer Check Do you drive by "ear" or speedo- meter? Many drivers when apprehended for speeding evince surprise. They appear unaware of their excessive speed, In this day of smooth, broad high- ways and comfortable cars, a regular glance at the speedometer (and other instruments as well) has no substitute.
