Weed Control
Now is th’e time for all good men
to the aid of their city, town, village
or township by notifiying their mun
icipal council or weed inspector as to
the whereabouts of noxious weeds
in the locality. Th<s Weed Control
Act passed in 1927 by the Ontario
Government, and since amended,
places the responsibility of weed con
trol directly on the shoulders of the
municipality and weed inspectors.
Every person, in Ontario is entitl
ed to protection under this Act and
should notify the council or weed in
spectors of any neglected area in
fested with weeds. It is the duty
of the municipal authorities to
that these weeds are destroyed
soon as they have been notified
interested citizens (yourself
ample.)
'Clause four of the Weed
Act reads-“‘‘Every occupant
for
Control
of land
or if the land is unoccupied ,the own
er shall destroy all weeds desingated
as noxious by the regulations, as
often in every years as is sufficient
to prevent, the ripening of the seed.”
It is the duty of each municipal
council to appoint at least one Weed
Inspector and to set the remunera
tion he is to receive, T^hese inspectors
are responsible for seeing that the
provisions of the Act are enforced in
their municipality.
The Weed Control Act itself will
not control a single week. It depends
entirely on a definite human action,
and the scope of this definite human
action will -depend on the force and
extent of community opinion on the
muicipal council. You and your
neighbors can bring about quick ac
tion in the eradication of weeds by
making "everybody’s business” your
business.

and information regarding .control
of weeds will be gladly forwarded
