It has frequently been found that pencil written addresses become very smudged and unreadable during course of transmission, with the result that it is very difficult for the Canadian Pos­ tal Corps to effect delivery. When INKjs used there is less dan­ ger of the addresses fading or be­ coming obliterated and persons send­ ing letters and parcels to soldiers ov­ erseas can help ensure their safe and speedy delivery by always having care taken to see that the address is writ ten in a clear and legible manner in INK. All mail should be fully prepaid and a return address given in the upper left-hand corner. Letters, parcels and newspapers for our troops (overseas) should be addressed in INK as fol­ lows : Regimental Number, Rank and Name, Name and Details of Unit (i.e. Com­ pany, Section, Squadron, Battery, Holding Unit, etc.), Name of Regiment or Branch of Service, Canadian Army Overseas. If the soldier is still in Canada, mail should be addressed to him giving the Regimental Number, Rank and Name, » Name and Details of Unit, as above, ' Name of Regiment or Branch of Service, Name of the Place in Canada where the Unit is Stationed. CONTROL OF WEEDS IN LAWNS (Experimental Farms News) There are times when most home­ owners wish that some easy way could be found of killing weeds in lawns. The almost miraculous results which have been obtained in the control of certain weeds in grain crops has pos­ sibly led many people to expect equal­ ly good results in the eradication of weeds in lawns, says George Knowles, Division of Field Husbandry, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. In a lawn, however, there is usually a mixture of weeds, some of which are annuals, some perennials. It is diffi­ cult therefore to find one herbicide which is equally effective against all weed species. Nevertheless, progress has been made toward the objective of eradicating weeds from lawns without killing the grass. The results of experiments conduct­ ed at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, show that the growth of many THE ONLY TIRE WITH LIFESAVER TREAD ANO BLOWOUT PROTECTION TOO I •SLIGHT A Fl MATCH ON W ITS DRY S TRACK /jjjl Sr The IIP Life-Saver MF Tread acts like r a battery of wind- i shield wipers.

MERKLEY COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE PHONE 84 , WINGHAM, ONT,ti species of weeds can be definitely checked by applying calcium cyanamid dust at the rate of approximately <5 or 6 pounds per 1,000 square feet of lawn. It is essential that this dust be applied uniformly, otherwise permanent injury to the grass is likely to occur where the dust is applied at an excessive rate. For this reason it is advisable to use some type of duster which blows this chemical on the foliage. It may also be applied by shaking the dust through a cheesecloth. One may also punch a number of fine holes in the lid of a convenient sized can and shake it o,n. It is well, however, to experiment with the application of this herbicide on a small area and observe the results be­ fore risking this treatment on the en­ tire layn. Cyanamid should 'be applied when the foliage by sprinkling. This herbicide may cause injury from this applied in to control t is is to wet with dew or quite caustic and the skin in apply­ ing, but the burning can be prevented by covering the hands with a thin film of oil before handling the dust Cyanamid is a fertilizer as well as a herbicide. It checks growth by burn­ ing the tops, but later it stimulates the growth of grass and enables it to compete more effectively with weeds. It is well, therefore, to repeat this treatment a number of times. Early spring and early fall are suitable times for its application, although good re­ sults may be obtained if applied any­ time during the growing season. Dandelions and plantain are more effectively controlled by spray.ingtwith longtime burning oil at the rate of 5° gallons per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Best results are secured treatment when the oil is cool weather. All herbicidal treatments weeds in lawns scorch the grass to some extent. This scorched appear­ ance remains usually for about ten days. After, that period the grass as-, sumes its normal colour except where; excessive amounts of the herbicide; have been applied, When asked the difference between a practical and a theoretical farmer, Farmer Corntossle replied: “A theoretical farmer is one that in­ sists on tryin’ to make a livin’ off the farm, an’ a practical one jes’ faces the inevitable an’ turns the place over to the summer boarders.” First Tank in Canada Produced by Canadian Pacific Railway www ||||C* S 3 Gratefully accepted by the Government for use by the Canadian Army, tho first of thousands of tanks to be pro­ duced at the Angus Shops of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com­ pany, Montreal, roiled off the assembly line and gave an Im­ pressive test Performance before a large group of government and. company officials, newspaper men and shops workers, It was a new note In Canada’s war history when this mighty war machine rumbled out of the shops, to bo turned over to the Government by D.

Boweh, chief of motive power and rolling stock of the Vail way, and tho workers who had done tho job. He said that the armor plate on the tank is equal to that to«be found anywhere. Hon, J. L. Ralston, Minister of National De­ fence, spoke of the great need for all these machine as fast as they can be produced and thanked the railway and the workers for doing such a fine job. He re­ vealed that 300 of the tanks being made at Angus will be for the British Purchasing Commis­ sion. Sir Clive Bailiieu, head dr the British Purchasing Commis­ sion la the United States, said this first tank was "a symbol of Canada’s war effort and a por­ tent of Hitler’s doom.,1'” The picture layout’ shows the tank being tested before D. 0.
