As seeds of many Ontario noxiâ€" ous weeds may be retained on the plants until late fall and distribâ€" ‘uted by various agencies during fall and winter months, these infestâ€" ed areas should be cleaned up imâ€" mediately states John D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. URGE CLEANâ€"UP Should be done immediately stat John D MacLeod, Crops, Seeds, and Weeds Branch, Ontario Dept. of Agriculture The â€" wind carries some weed] seeds long distances in drifting soil‘ and also over frozen ground and snow. _ An experiment conducted in the Province of Saskatchewan proved this fact when it was found that six ounces of surface soil taken from a spot along a road fence, conâ€" tained the following seeds: Stickâ€" weed 330; Wild Mustard 267; Hare‘s Ear Mustard 99; Stinkweed 3; Black Bindweed 150; Lamb‘s Quarters 15 and Ragweed 9. Another experiment conducted some years ago showed the presence of many weed seeds in snow some 32 seeds of nine species of seeds being found in two square feet of a snow drift.. ; Mr and Mrs Res. Many. weed seeds are eaten by birds during the late fall and early winter when other food is not plentiâ€" ful. These seeds will not lose their vitality and may be carried long distance s in this way. Neglected fall weeds will spread plant diseases, gather and hold snow, clog ditches and thus hinder the flow of water, are dangerous from a fire standpoint and are a source of inâ€" féstation to the entire community, Mr. MacLeod points out. Many fields throughout Ontario inâ€" fested with Wild Carrot, Toad Flax, Ragweed, etc., should be mown at this time, raked up ard burned and the infested area brought into the crop rotation. Seeds of negleced weeds growing in vacant lots, around buildings, fence lines and on banks of rivers, small streams and Gitches may be carried long distances by spring By cleaning up and burning all neâ€" glected weeds at this time the apâ€" pearance of property is improved in in cities, towns and villages as well as farms.
