Neglected Weeds Can Ca use Much Damage Neglected weeds in the fall of the year will spread plant diseases, gather and hold snow in winter, clog ditches, are dangerous from a fire standpoint, and are a source of infestation to the entire com­ munity. Agricultural officials have pointed out, in urging immediate attention by farmers, many fields throughout Huron County are in­ fested with wild carrot, ragweed, etc., and should be mowed now. raked up and burned and the in­ fested area brought into the crop rotation. Seeds of neglected weeds growing in vacant lots, around buildings, fence lines and in ditches may be carried long distances by spring floods. By cleaning up ana burning all neglected weeds now farmers can improve the appearance of their property and control weeds, not only on their own farms but also on the property of others. The co-operation of farmers, municipali­ ties, agricultural societies and rail­ roads is required to help in the clean-up. W. R. DOUGALL, Huron County Weed Inspector. Huron and Perth Stay Under C. T.A. Huron and Perth Counties, two of three areas still under the Can­ ada Temperance Act, are affected in an important amendment to the Liquor License Act, proposed in the Ontario Legislature by Hon. Leslie Blackwell, attorney general. In the past, there has been con­ fusion as to the enforcement of liquor laws in areas where the Can­ ada Temperance Act, a federal statute is in operation. Under the suggested change, the government will make no effort to enforce the provincial law, leaving the areas under the Temperance Act. Second Vote Necessary As explained by Mr. Blackwell, the following will result: “Repeal of the Canada Temperance Act in ■an area which at one time was wet, will enable the Liquor Control Board to establish stores for the sale of beer, wine and liquor. How­ ever, before beverage rooms and lounges will be permitted, a sec­ ond vote must be taken in addi­ tion to the vote that repealed the O.T.A. The amendment also states that where an area has always been “dry” repeal of the O.T.A, will not automatically give that area the gale of spirits, either publicly or for home consumption. A second vote under the Liquor License Act must be held, and if the result is in the affirmative, the sale will j then be permitted. SI————~------—----—- Agricultural Highlights during the past week in Huron County The Ontario Department of Agri­ culture recently brought into effect throughout the Province, a Bacon Hog Club Policy. This policy has been designed with a view to mak­ ing high class boars available in those communities where they are not being maintained, and where their use is essential to improve­ ment in type and quality of the market hogs produced. It is not intended to interfere with the ac­ tivities of those individuals who follow the practice of purchasing good boars and offering them for public service. Under this policy five boar clubs have been organized in the County, where Department boars will be placed and available for public service. The first club organized early in July, in the Beechwood dis­ trict, recently took delivery of a young boar shipped to them by the Live Stock Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, This young boar, Gravel Ridge Prince 230A, was bred by William Pink­ ney and Sons, of Cooksville, Ont., and was one of a litter which quali­ fied under the Advanced Registry Policy, with a score of 90, and third highest in the Province of Ontario in 1946. This young boar is being maintained in the herd of Mr. Jas. E. Sloan, R.R. 5. Seaforth, who was appointed as caretaker by mem­ bers of the Beechwood Bacon Hog Club. The announcement of the remov­ al of subsidies on coarse grains, coming as it did at the time when price controls were lifted, has caus­ ed a great deal of confusion of thought among the producers of bacon, beef and poultry products. At the same time, Great Britain has intimated that she may have to make a cut in her importation oi eggs and bacon from Canada. If such action is taken, it may result in a surplus of eggs, and the law of supply and demand would come in­ to force with respect to prices paid for eggs. The removal of subsidies from course grains has been expected for several months, and the farmers of Western Canada have been reluct­ ant to sell their grains until this action was taken. As a result, coarse grains in Ontario have been in very scarce supply, and our farm­ ers have not had an opporunity of purchasing a reserve for winter feeding before the subsidies were removed, and before the new price increases became effective. At the moment regulations are that any Feed Dealer, having a supply of grain on hand, purchased at a time when subsidies were in effect, must retail it at previous price levels, but this regulation will not affect a great many dealers in Ontario,- as few of them have been able to keep a sufficient supply on hand to meet their normal requirements. Mrs. William G. Gram Word has been received in Hen­ sail of the death of Mrs. William G. Gram, of Charlotte, Mich., wife of William G. Gram, sales engineer at Wilcox-Gay manufacturing plant, and daughter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. George Gram, Hensail. Mrs. Gram died in the Hayes-Green Beach Hos­ pital in Charlotte.,, The daughter of Frank and Sarah Koonsman, she was born in Lansing and moved to Charlotte nine years ago. She was a member of the congregational Church and various clubs, among them the Women’s Club, Garden Club, Eastern Star, P.T.A., Pythian Sisters, and the American Legion Auxiliary. Surviving are her hus­ band and one son, Ralph. CROMARTY Our new merchant is at present adding greatly to the appearance of his premises by grading and lev­ elling the lawn on the north side of the store. He intends moving his gas tank from the old site which will make a much more suitable position. Mr. Oswald Walker is busy lending a helping hand and it will be a first class piece of work when finished and will present a much more attractive appearance. A farewell party was tendered to Miss Mary Currie, who is about to leave Cromarty, and live with a niece near Woodstock. We are sor­ ry to part with Miss Currie. She has been a life-long member of the community and whose door was al­ ways open to a visitor and one could have a very congenial talk when calling at her home. A mem­ ber of the Presbyterian church for many years, she always took a great interest in the music, having played the organ for a good many years, We wish her good health and happiness in her new home and hope that health and happiness will follow her there the rest of her days. Mr. Gordon Houghton spent the week-end at his home here, Gordon is looking well and his friends were pleased to see him. We are enjoying beautiful weath­ er, almost like summer, which is wonderful for this time of the year.

Her output from factories, farms and other industries has expanded enormously. In fact, her progress has been phenomenal. Here is the rub. Since industry in Ontario depends so heavily on Electricity, this wonderful expansion has resulted in insistent calls for more and more Hydro power. What is the Answer? Just this: Hydro has many new power developments under way,' but it takes several years to build new generating plants. In the meantime Hydro asks each of you good Ontario citizens.. .homemakers, work­ ers, farmers, storekeepers, business men to do your part... to Save Electricity. It should be easy. All of us use it lavishly—more so than any other people on earth—because Hydro rates are so low. , Every saving, no matter how small, will be worth while. Don’t burn lights needlessly, use your electric range with care. Turn off motors and appliances as soon as you are finished with them. Please do your part and save electricity, everywhere you can. It’s needed during every daytime hour. Every bit of Electric Power saved will be used to maintain employment, to make more jobs, to keep Ontario on Prosperity Street. Save Electricity—Maintain Employment THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO (Cut this but and read it again tomorrow) Anniversary of Bank of Montreal -—Continued From Page Three more than 8,000, It has over 500 branches, including offices in New­ foundland, New York, London, Chicago and San Francisco. Its de­ positors number more than 1,500,- 000—-about one out of every five bank depositors in the nation. * Thus, the bank that nine colonial merchants started in such a modest way 130 years ago, has become, indeed an integral part of the life of the nabdoh.
