The general rate was set at seven mills to raise $18,707.85 over and above the estimated total of provincial grants of $26,- 700. James Doig, reeve of Tucker­ smith, interviewed council in connection with the complaint received from Usborne regarding the state of disrepair of the Geiger drain. After considerable discussion regarding repairs to the drain Usborne Council agreed that they would prefer to have an engineer’s report on the work to be done and so advised Mr. Doig. A Woodham delegation of R. Mills, R. Rundle and L. Smith requested construction of a side­ walk in Woodham between Jots eight and nine. Council agreed to consider the matter and look the situation over. W. H. Hodgson. Exeter, inter­ viewed the Council in regard to the renewal of the compensation, insurance policy with the Gene-. ral Accident Insurance Co. The policy was approved for renewal at a premium of $15 8.94 applied to the roads and bridges account and $32.28 to general account. Dykeman drain assessment will be sread over a two-year period. C. Pullman applied to the coun­ cil to have the drain tax of the Dykeman drain spread over more than one year on account of the high cost of the drain. Council agreed to amend the Dykeman Drain By-law to provide for the collection of the assessments —- 50 percent in 1954 and 50 per­ cent in 1955, interest on the un­ paid balance to be charged at the rate of five percent. In ‘ ‘ costs ed in ority Authority advised that no grants would be paid toward construc­ tion of ponds constructed before entry of township into Authority, and also that there would be no levy for former years on the township. Council agreed to make the regular grant of 50 percent to the ratepayers who have con­ structed ponds in the Thames Valley area to a total amount of $93.62 and the Clerk was in­ structed to levy this amount on the Thames Valley area in 19 54. The council expressed dissat­ isfaction with installation of the branch outlet pipe of the Kers- lake drain. K. Morkin was ad­ vised of the complaint. C. P. Corbett, engineer, sub­ mitted certificate of completion on the Tuckey-May drain and council agreed to pay contractor. Correspondence from Huron County revealed that the Us­ borne equalized assessment was set at $2,672,550 and that at the county rate of 10 mills the town­ ship share would be $26,714. Another county report ’Stated that five acres of trees had been planted on the farm of Jack Del- bridge in Usborne at a cost of $96.12, Of which the township’s share is $48.06.

Councillors Harold Jeffery, Harold Hern, Earl Mitchell and Clayton Smith were all in attendance. recommended. Put it on during the early bud stage. After the blossoms come out. it is too late. Clipping at the same stage gives quite adequate control. Clipping is preferred by many farmers, since tbe livestock does not have to be removed to another field. One authority has come up with a unique idea of thistle con­ trol in hoe crops. They recom­ mend not to cultivate the soil during the spring. Thistles will come up faster and thicker in the spring. When they are four to six inches high spray with a pound of 2,4-L per acre. Wait one week — then plow. But don’t be fooled. These treatments, or tillage only control Canada thistles. After harvest cultivation with some of the dry weather like we've experienced the past few weeks will be also beneficial in their control along with that time-tested idea of crop rotation. To eliminate Canada Thistle completely from any field it would seem necessary to sterilize the soil. DID YOU KNOW*? Army worms are active this year in some areas close to home. The recommended bait is: 22 lbs. of bran, one lb. Paris Green or white arsenic or DDT powder. One or two quarts of molasses make bait more palatable but are not essential. Mix thoroughly and apply over infected area in eve­ ning. Remember—bait is poison­ ous to livestock, and humans.
