Common Dandelion A Hardy Nuisance Call it Taraxacum offincinale Weber if you wish, but to the Ontario farmer and the urban lawn -maker it is still that nuis- ance, the common dandelion or blowball that infests crops and makes lawns look as though they had broken out in a golden rash. One of the most, common weeds in Ontario, the dandelion emigrat- ed from Europe and today bears the -stigma of being even a worst pest in Ontario than it was on its native heath. From early spring to late fall practically all localities, parks and lawns are overrun with this yel- low flowered perennial which valiantly resists efforts at eradi- cation. The familiar fluff ball contain- ing the ripened seeds appears about two weeks after the flower opens. Drought does not affect the dandelion as the long fleshy tap root can carry the plant through many drought spells, thus giving it a chance to grow and multiply when other lawn plants are in a weakened condition. The young dandelion makes an excellent salad or pot herb whose roots have been used in medicines. In fact, around 1914 over a hund- red thousand pounds were being imported into Canada and USA annually. The milky juice sold for four to ten cents per pound. Control of the dandelion with the spud is very laborious and back breaking.. but will give re- sults if the root is cut off about four inches below the soil surface. Pieces broken off the main part of the root will grow and produce plants of their own. Chemical control is very effect- ive and considerably easier. Spray- ing with 2, 4-D where no suscep- tible flowers or ornamentals are near, and where no bent grass is used in the lawnwill give very gratifying results, says the Crops Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. The chemi- cal may be bought at most drug, hardware and department stores. It should be applied at rates re- commended by the manufacturer and before the dandelions begin to flower. Unless some action is taken to clean up large areas, new seeds will blow in and produce a new infestation. Dandelions are profuse seeders and some say the motto of those wishing a lawn free from them must be, "Ever- lastingly keep at it". 0 Agricultural Show To Be Held in Blyth A parade is being planned to begin in London on May 23, and continue towards Blyth, picking up more cars and trucks along the way until the complete long fleet of people and automobiles reaches that village on Rutabaga and Agricultural Day. Planned especially for the agricultural stand -point, spokesman for the or- ganization predicts a good turn- out of farm folk, and interested trades people. Meeting with the Board of Trade in Blyth, A. H. Wilford, Toronto, outlined plans for the event, which will be sponsored by the Rutabaga Growers and Processors of the Counties of Bruce, Huron, Perth, Middlesex and Oxford. Mr. Wilfred explain - that Blyth had been chosen as the sight because it is centrally located in the midst of the rapid- ly expanding Rutabaga industry of Western Ontario, and has with- in its limits one of the most mod- ern and progressive processing plants in Ontario, owned and oper- ated by Russell Dougherty. Features of the day will be a continuous film showing which is expected to start at 9:30 in the morning and run through without interruption until midnight. Fil:.,s shown will be predominantly of an agricultural nature, designed to interest and attract farmers throughout Western Ontario. An agricultural parade and' display will also vie for top billing.

H. Erskine, Goderich, Huron county clerk, at a special meeting of the Huron County Home Committee of the county council held in Clinton, Wednesday night, April 15, L, G. Bridgman, London architect, was authorized to advertise for tend- ers for a 60 -bed addition to the institution. Tenders will also be called for a new eight -inch well to provide sufficient water for the home, and estimates will be re- ceived for the furnishing of the new wing' However the contract for furn- ishings will not be awarded until the new addition is close to com- pletion. The committee will re- view all tenders and the one accepted will be forwarded to the Ontario Department of Health and Welfare for approval. At the June session of the county coun- cil, which oun-cil,,,which commences June 8, the tender will be awarded. Roy Cousins, reeve of Bruss- els, vino is chairman of the coun- ty home committee, presided at the Clinton meeting. It is anticipated that the pro- posed addition will be begun in late June and completed in about a year's time. The contract of the new wing also will call for a part of the present 55 -year-old building be- ing renovated to eliminate any inside rooms which because of the addition have no light or prop- er ventilation. The proposal for the addition began one year ago as the pre- sent 80 -bed building has been long -filled to capacity, with 35 potential inmates as patients in county hospitals at Goderieh, Wingham, Seaforth and Clinton. Some of these have been hospit- alized between a two and three- year period. The present set-up has requir- ed a staff of nine including two registered nurses, Mrs. Jean Jacob, wife of the farm manager, and Mrs. Anna Finkel, while it is expected a full staff of close to 20 will be necessary when the addition is built. At present there are some 25 hed patients at the home. The home, of which Mrs. Mar- tha Jacob has served as super- intendent for 30 years, is self- supporting to a degree, for dairy 233 PRIZES WON IN 135 MINUTES It soundsincredible—but that's what happens wherever Roy Ward Dickson is taking his giant "Fun Parade of '53", on his sixth annual coast-to-coast tour, According to Roy this is a one- night record, even for his rollick- ing "Fun Parade", which has handed out nearly $2,000,000 in prizes in 13 years, and which will hand out thousands of dollars worth more, at the Wingham Arena on Friday, May 15. Every one of those 233 prizes will be won by those right there in the audience that night, while they're laughing their heads off at the biggest fun show ever to hit these parts. Clubs, personnel groups, and women's organizations too, will not only find it a wonderful way to have an uproarious night of fun out together, but will get plenty of ideas for enjoyable ways to make future meetings roll mer- rily along. Even the youngsters are promised a happy time ---with special prizes. Dickson proved long ago, that he can keep an aud- ience in stitches for hours without resorting to smut or suggestive- ness. He says that he's always planned his show as family shows —whether on the air, or on tour. PROCTOR BROS.
