Hutchison A well-known resident and former merchant passed suddenly away on Tuesday morning, in the person of Robert Adam Hutchison. Mr. Hutch­ ison was doing some painting for Miss Clow on Centre street and short­ ly before non was found dead on the "lawn. He was in his 76th year and was born in the Township of Carrick, coming to Wingham in 1890. After taking Up residence in town he con­ ducted a grocery store for a number of years, disposing of his business several years ago on account of ill health, for the past few years he had been troubled with a serious heart condition. , He is survived by two sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Robert Lane, New Westminster, B, C., Walter N. of Har­ riston and Miss Margaret Matilda and James Albert of Belmore. His wife predeceased him in 1922. The funeral service will be conduct­ ed at 2 p.m. on Thursday by Rev. Kenneth MacLean of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, of which lie was a member, at R. A. Currie’s funeral parlors, where the remains are rest­ ing. 4 Interment will be made in Wingham Cemetery. Most of the weeds in lawns have broad leaves. Another characteristic is that the growing tip of the stem is exposed. Grass, on the other hand, has narrow leaves and the growing tip of the stem is protected by a sheath or covering. This difference between most weeds and grass makes the for­ mer more susceptible to injury from chemicals ’than the latter. The value of a number of different chemicals for the control of weeds in lawns is being determined at the Cen­ tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, stat­ es Geo. Knowles, Field Husbandry Division, Dominion Experimental Farms Service. The results of prelim­ inary tests indicate that fertilizers, such as calcium and ammonium sul­ phate, which are caustic in nature, of- The maintenance of a continuous supply of food for Britain’s fighting forces and civilian population is of paramount importance in the suc­ cessful prosecution of the war.

When either cyanamid or ammon­ ium sulphate is used to control weeds in lawns, they should be applied in the form of a fine dust and be distri­ buted very uniformly at the rate of about 5 to 6 pounds, per 1000 square feet of lawn. It is essential that these dusts be applied with a blower type of duster in order to get the uniform coverage. When cyanamid or ammon­ ium sulphate dust is applied unevenly there is a marked injury to the grass on the areas which receive too heavy an application. This treatment burns the top growth of broad-leafed weeds. The. grass is also scorched but recovers in about ten days. A second or tffird ap­ plication should be made when a re­ growth of weeds appears. In addition to reducing the stand of weeds the* application of cyanamid or ammonium sulphate on a lawn in the form of - fine dust stimulates a more vigorous growth of grass and improves its general appearance. ARRANGE TO ASSURE 1942 SEED SUPPLIES While supplies of vegetable and field root seeds are reasonably well assured for 1940, it will, however, be necessary to take specific action to ensure that there will be no deficiency of .such seeds in 1942, particularly in regard to beets, cabbage, cauliflower, parsnip, radish, spinach, mangel and swede. Nelson Young, Associate Dir­ ector, Plant Production Division, Do­ minion Department of Agriculture, advised the Dominion Provincial Ag­ ricultural Conference, called by the Agricultural Supplies Board which niet in Ottawa, July 18 to 20. Recom­ mendations to obviate any danger of shortage of seed supplies for 1942 in­ cluded: co-operative action in regard to production to be under taken by Dominion-Provincial Govts.; the pro­ vinces to make arrangements for the ' production of seed required in the ne­ cessary quantities and of the desired, varieties and qualities as suggested by the Seed Supply Committee, a sub­ committee of the Agricultural Supplies Board; the markets and prices for the seed produced to be arranged by the Governments; the seed produced und­ er the direction of the Dominion-Pro­ vincial arrangement to be regarded primarily as an insurance against de­ ficiency in supply and such seed pro­ duced under this co-operative plan to be available to the trade. . , . —....
