Couch Grass, If
You Can't Beat It
-Then Eat It!
Couch grass, sometimes called
quack, quick, dog or witch
grass, although a problem weed
in Ontario, was used for bread
making in 18th century Eng-
land, The British botanist With-
ering wrote: "The roots, dried
and ground to meal, have been
used to make bread in years
of scarcity."
Other authors refer to medic-
inal values of couch grass, One
states that: "Couch openeth ob-
structions of the liver and gall,
and easeth the gripping pains
of the stomach."

-Conneillors at ,Goderich had
the opportunity to consider the
part the county town might
play in the proposed Maitland

when they heard Robert Wen..
er, chairman of the Authority
at the regular council meeting,
They decided to postpone
further discussion until the
September meeting, but they did ask several questions of
Mr. Wenger, and received sat-
isfyiag answers, Mr. Wenger
noted that as he learned more
of the area, he became more

The area covered by the

be, "If you can't beat it, eat
it,"
Seriously speaking, couch gr-
ass is hard to beat, A hardy'
perennial, with wide-spreading
jointed roots, it forms large,
matted beds in the soil, New
plants spring up frum each root
joint and even a small, broken
root section may re-infest a
garden or field,
According to the Field Crops
Branch, Ontario Department of
Agriculture, couch grass can
controlled by frequent
plowing and thorough cultiva-
tion with a spring-tooth harrow
or cultivator, in hot, dry weath-
er, It is not wise to use a
disc as this implement cuts
the underground roots into sh-
ort lengths, each of which may
produce a new plant.
Chemical control has taken
great strides in recent years.
Amino triazole or dalapon, ap-
plied in the early spring when
the couch is anout 6 inches
high, at a rate of 10 to 15
pounds in 30 gallons of water
per acre, and followed two
weeks later by plowing, gives
remarkable control. Another
chemical called amitrol T, used
in the same way, at two gallons
per acre, is also effective.
Warning: crops should not be
planted until four to five weeks
after application of these chem-
icals. Depending on the situa-
tion, chemicals may be too
costly for over-all field applica-
tion, but are ideal for eradicat-
ing small patches before they
have a chance to spread.

To Supplement
Ontario Wheat
Eastern livestock and poultry
feeders, especially those in On-
tario, may find increased use
of local grains for feeding pur-
poses due to resulting effects
of the prairie drought.
Shortages of Western reed
grains reflect in the price rise
for Western grains at local
dealers.
Officials of the Ontario
Wheat Producers' Marketing
Board say that Ontario pro-
ducers are presently reluctant
to make forward sales and that
greater interest is indicated
in supplementing Ontario gr-
ains for feed.
In summing up the present
situation, based' on the dealer
retail price of $1.81 per bushel
far sample Western Wheat,
cost to the feeders is about
$59.73 per ton.
Ontario Wheat, on the other
hand retailing at $1.50 per bu-
shel and mixed at a ratio of
90 pounds to 10 pounds of soy-
bean meal to bring the pro-
tein content up to equal that
of Western wheat would cost
$53.20 per ton to the feeder
— a saving of $6.53 per ton.
Normal consumption of On-
tario winter wheat in province
as feed is approximately 10
million bushels and about the
same amount of Western wheat
is fed on Ontario farms.

High productivity and low production costs are essential to
profitable farming. Neither can be attained by using old-fash-.
Toned, methods and obsolete machinery. The only way they can
be achieved is by utilizing modern methods and up-to-date
farm machinery.
Massey-Ferguson machines and implements are helping farmers
the world over to make their particular farming operation More
profitable by doing more work at less cast.

Turkey Price To
Be 'Supported
Same as in 1960
Agricultural Minister Alvin
Hamilton announced that the
Agricultural Stabilization. Board
has been authorized to support
the price of turkeys to Dec-
ember 31, 1961, on the basis
of 20 cents per pound for live
Na. 1 turkeys weighing at
least 10 pounds but under 20
pounds, basis delivery Toronto,
with appropriate differentials
for other weights and, grades
at principal markets through-
out Canada.
This is the same support level
as was in effect during 1960.
The Minister also pointed out
that the import control remains
in effect. This limits importa-
tions of turkeys into Canada
to a total of four million pound's
per year, with a maximum im-
portation of two million pounds
in any one quarter.
