need control'
on lawns
A weed-free lawn is the hope
and ambition of most homeown.,
ers. Proper fertilization and
use of a herbicide in spray or
granular form will help accom-
plish this goal, sa.ysJohnHughes,
horticultural specialist.
A small sprayer with a capa-
city of 2-1/2 to 3 gallons is suit-
able for treating most lawns.
For the spray to be most effec-
tive, it is best to wait until the ir
weeds are in a succulent grow-
ing condition. The use of 2,4-D
to ensure a weed-free lawn has
become widely accepted. It is
inexpensive readily available,
easy to apply and controls most
of the common weed species
with the exception of mouse-ear
chickweed, black medick and
creeping charlie. Other chemi-
cals such as mecoprop, dichlor-
prop, fenoprop and dicamba will
kill these plants. Whenusing any
of these chemicals, always be
sure to follow the instructions
on the label.
Granular herbicides are also
available. These are generally
applied with the fertilizer, a
method that is more convenient
for the homeowner.

Growth rates were modest
in the other three of the four
counties. Bruce grew from 43,085
to 47,385 (10 per cent), Grey
gained 3,900 to reach a popula-
tion of 66,403 (6.1 per cent).
Manitoulin Island posted a gain
of only 3.7 per cent over the
five years and Huron fell 1,500
below its 1966 figure, recording
a population of 52,951 and a
decline of 2.8 per cent.
Four of the five counties in
what is sometimes regarded as.
Ontario's vacation heartland ex-
ceeded the province's 10.7 per
cent growth rate between 1966
and 1971.
Haliburton county ranked
sixth in the province with a
growth rate of 16.9 per cent,
recording a 1971 population of
9,081. Muskoka gained 15.3 per
cent to reach 31,938. Simcoe

for a gain of 15 per cent and

Lindsay, gained 10.8 per cent
with a population of 34,242.
Only Parry Sound, which grew
by 6.7 per cent from 28,335
to 30,244, failed to match the
provincial average.
Huron alone among counties
bordering Lake Huron and Georg-
ian Bay has lost population ac-
cording to census figures re-
leased by Statistics Canada.
Smiles
"An abstract noun," the
teacher said, "is something
you can think of, but you can't
touch. Can you give mean example
of one?" she asked a pupil.
"Sure," a teenaged boy re-
plied. "My father's new car."
