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."

Authority, 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 sold on the proposed Author- ity. The area covered by the proposed' authority would be that drained. by the Maitland and its tributaries. It would cover the general area between the present Saugeen Authority and Ausable Authority. 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.

Miles, Clinton. a Classified Ads Bring Quick Results Advise Farmers 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.
