patriotic sticker for your car will mark you
as a member of the wise and thoughtful band
of car owners co-operating with the Govern
ment to save gasoline.

age of gasoline due to the diversion of tankers
for .overseas service and to the growing needs
of our Fighting Forces.
There is no call'for panic—no need for alarm
—but this war is being fought with gasoline
and we are fighting for our very lives. Sign
the Pledge today and continue to save fifty
per cent of your gasoline consumption.

Blitzkrieg methods have now pene

to John D, MacLeod, Crops, Seeds
and Weeds Branch, Ont, Dept, of Ag
riculture, Wild Carrot has developed
;tuo one of the worst pests in Ontario,-
and is spreading more rapidly than
I any other weed. It has invaded every
| county and district of the province,
j Mr, McLeod states, and is growing in
profusion.
Wild Carrot is a biennial and nat
uralized from Europe. It is sometimes
named Bird’s Nest, Queen Anne's

name is the one that more correctly
expresses the sentiments and feelings
of farmers who have been fighting to
keep it off their property.
Wild Carrot is found on roadsides,
old meadows, pastures, orchards, fence
lines and waste places. It is like the
cultivated carrot in odour and has a
deep strong tap root, a brisly stem
and much divided leaves. Flowers are
in white clusters which curl up when
mature.
This weed can be controlled-by thor
ough cultivation and a short rotation
of crops. Scattered plants should be
pulled or spudded. Meadows and pas
tures should be broken and brought in
to rotation or mowed just before
plants come into bloom. , Seeds may
be produced until frost destroys the
plants, so late mowing will be neces
sary.
If plants are in the blom stage when
mowed, the infested area should be
raked and burned. Fasturing with
sheep is an effective and cheap meth
od of preventing seed production.
Mowing has proved costly on road
sides and areas where cultivation is
impossible. Spraying with chemicals
is recommended'for roadside eradica
tion. See Circular 60 for
It may be obtained from the Crops,
Seeds and Weeds Branch,
of Agriculture, Toronto.
Thousands of seeds may be produc
ed on an Average plant. These seeds
may remain on the plant until late fall
and winter and then be carried by thd
wind over miles of frozen ground and
drifting snow to infect new areas. This
is why it is most important for every
one to put an end to Wild Carrot in

4water or less than 80% of milk fat
must not be manufactured in Canada,
according to the Regulations under the
Dairy Industry Act. Butter moulded
or cut into- prints, blocks, squares, or
pats must not be sold unless these
shapes are of the full net weight of
14 pound', ¥2 pound, one pound or mul-
liples of a pound. This regulation does
not apply to butter in rolls 'Or lumps
of indiscriminate weight manufactured
by indivdiual farmers and sold by
them.
Butter packed in tins or other pack
ages alleged to contain any definite
weight of butter must not be sold, or
as the Act says “sold, offered for sale
or have in possession for sale,” unless
the packages contain the full net-
weight of butter as alleged, exclusive
-of the weight of the .package and of
any paper, brine, or other filling. It-
is important to remember that prints,
blocks, squares or pats of butter must
be of full net weight, as specified in
the Regulations, when sold by each
and every dealer through whose hands
the butter may pass. Consequently, if
such packages -of butter are likely to
be held for some time before bei(ig
sold to the consumer, it is necessary
to make sufficient allowance to take
care of any shrinkage in weights that
may take place before final sale. Oth
erwise, adjustments to bring the
weight up to legal standards must be
made. A circular dealing with the
weights and branding of dairy butter
(Circular 122) may be obtained free
