Condition figures reported by cor­ respondents show vegetabale crops generally in average to somewhat above average condition at the 15th of June. The total commercial ve­ getable acreage is about the same in Eastern Ontario and slightly higher in Western Ontario. 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.
