Twitch grass (Agropyron repens, L., Beauv.) looks innocent enough, just another type of grass awith dark green heavily ribbed leaves, stems up to three feet high and the seeds formed in a narrow, flat spike, The seed is about one-half inch long, narrow, light in weight and is frequently found as an im- purity in grain or grass seeds. The shallow, creeping, perennial rootstalks are the chief cause of grief, clogging the harrows, cul- tivator and seed drill. The roots continue to thrive after plowing down, or cultivating up. When scattered over a field by farm implements they readily establish a new patch of twitch grass to plague the farmer. Control measures should aim to bring these root stalks to the sur- face during the dry part of the summer. Shallow plowing in June or July, after a hay crop is re- moved, should be followed by fre- quent working with a cultivator until time to sow fall wheat. Im- mediately after the fall wheat crop is removed shallow plowing should be done again and surface cultiva- tion continued until freeze up. A one-way disc or disc plow is satis- factory for the midsummer plow- ing operation. However, the disc harrow, or double disc is to be avoided because it chops up the root stalks, each part of which will grow again at the nodes, Much of the value of plowing or cultivating is lost if the weather is wet, therefore, take all possible advantage of the hot, dry weather of July and August. Poorly drain- ed land also increases the diffi- culty of controlling twitch grass, Tile drains thus may provide an- other indirect benefit. The Crops, Seeds and Weeds anammayassocerestWammeonosomeir .11 31 UNDER a Liberal government, Canadians have added every year to the national strength and national unity of Canada; We have had the greatest expansion of social welfate in our history; We have increased our employment, bur production and our national •income every year; We have had the greatest expansion of our primary and secondary industries — truly an industrial revolution; Because of the outstanding contribution of the members of our Navy, Army and Air Force, we have been able to do our full share to prevent and to stop. Communist aggression; We have reduced the national debt everyyear, and, in the last two years, reaped the reward in lower tax rates. Do we want all that to be continued? Do you really think it's time for a change? For a change to a Parliament of regional groups -- a handful - of Social Crediters from the Par West, a few Socialists from the Prairies, a few more Conservatives from Ontario or the Maritimes and some so-called Independents from Quebec? In such a Parliament without the leadership and responsibility of a united national party, how could the government help being weak and insecure? . Do we want a weak and divided government to deal with the formidable problems of the next few years? I ask you, IS it really time for a change? We believe most Canadians want a government which encourages enterprise, promotes trade and fosters the exploration and develop- ment of our resources; and you know it as well as we do, that requires balanced budgets, paying off debts in prosperous tithes and a tax structure which, while fait to all, is adequate to meet these demands.

This course consists of air radio officer personnel from various RCAF units in Canada who are attending a 17 -week course in ad- vanced air radio officer studies in- cluding several administrative and technical phases of training. In- cluded on this course are S/L Ct E. Endersbc, Pontcix, Sask., and F/L T, Cook, Brandon, Man., who, prior to the course, were on the instructional staff of the Air Radio Officer School; F/L J. T. Gibson, Cornwall, and F/L 3. N. Lumley, Toronto, who come from duty at 407 Squadron, Comox, BC; F/O D. Haire, Toronto, came from 4 Transport OTU at Lachine, Que.; F/L O. E. Fonstad, Torquay, Sask., from 405 Squadron, Green- wood, N.S.; and F/L 3. O. Wilson, Newcastle, N.B., from 103 Search and Rescue Squadron, Greenwood, N.S. After graduation these of- ficers will proceed to various RCAF flying Units to carry out staff radio officer instructor duties, Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture reports that chemi- cal control of twitch grass is not yet practical on a large scale. At rates sufficient to control twitch grass, chemicals would destroy the crop, and the cost would be about equal to the cost of cultivation to achieve similar results. TCA . is the chemical which has given most success. The first application is made on freshly plowed ground using about 30 pounds of TCA per acre. A subsequent application is usually necessary to control re- growth. The cost of chemical treatment would range between $20 and $30 per acre. 0 Close to 400,000 people work in woods and mills in order to pro- duce Canada's pulp and paper.
