noxious, weeds have been told to take action or to abide by the
consequences.
Residents of sections of the province where the Weed Act has
been taken seriously declare that the effects of that Act have been
beneficial. Only the weed-growing farmers have been affected.
Some of the farmers against whom action has 'been taken have found
that they can subdue weeds and, by doing so, they find themselves
doing better fanning. ,
While effective action against noxious weeds should have been
taken many years ago, all farmers welcome any reasonable plan
that makes for clean farming. Now that the wheels of government
have been set in motion in this highly important affair, it is to be
hoped that fish will hot be made of one locality or of one farmer,
but that justice will be done to all parties.

radio station, known to radio; fam
as CKPR. The new management,
who have wide experience in the
radio field, plan to make the station
(the only one between Toronto and
Winnipeg) serve, not 'only Midland,
but also, the district and the whole
Northland.
In this connection, the new resi
dent manager, Mr. George E. Beav

and Tuesday, making preparations
to have Orillia represented with a
program at least once a week. Tnej
• idea to have ,the program provid-
I ed by? Orillia, talent, and sponsored
by Orillia merchants. Mr. J. D.
Gordon and Mr. R. B. Harla, the
organists of the Presbyterian and
United churches, have under taken
to arrange the weekly programs. A
feature will be “news flashes” from
Orillfa, which will be prepared by
-'and sent out under the auspices of
the Racket and Times.
The new management promise
greatly to improve and enlarge the
service from CKPR and to make it
a station that will be worthy of the
district, and of service to the re
gions into which the Toronto sta
tions penetrate with difficulty oi
not at all. The local representative,
Mr. Beavers, is a university grad
uate who is setting out to make his
mark in the business of scientific
merchandizing.
