The Maitland Conser-
vation Foundation received
its charter on September 23,
1975. This registered charit-
able organization has been
established to initiate and
continue conservation
programs that could not
normally be undertaken by
the Authority because of lack
of funds. Authority projects
are funded partially by
annual assessment of memo
ber municipalities; based on
the land area . contained
within the managed water-
shed. The balance of funds
for conservation programs is
provided by the Provincial
Government. The Maitland

Thus, greatly needed pro.

herbicide will be placed
down too deep to be of
benefit.
For fields not planned for
corn next year, actively
growing twitch grass can be
controlled -by applications of
Amitrole-T or Roundup in
late August. Control is best if
applied when the twitch is
4-10 inches in height.
Ploughing can follow in 10-14
days after treatment..
Your regular herbicide
program can then follow up
these treatments in the
spring.
Poor Weed Control?
How did your herbicides
work this year? If you are like
most Huron County farmers,
some fields have excellent
weed control while other
fields are so-so. Part of poor
weed control is related to
weather but too often it is a
result of choosing the wrong
herbicide or not knowing the
weed problem. Good weed
control must match the herb-
icide to the weed problem.
Right now is the easiest time
to identify weeds since most
are fully grown. Once you'
know your weeds, then you
can choose the right herb-
icide, There is no 'substitue
for walking all fields now and
making a list of the weeds
that are present. This winter
you can 'choose your herb-
icides to fit specific needs.
NEW CLERK IN MORRIS—Mrs. Lloyd (Nancy)
MiChie was recently named by Morris Township
Council as their new clerk. She replaces Jane
Badley who is the new clerk of Grey Township.
One of the major weed
problems facing Huron.
County farmers is twitch
grass control. Favourable
conditions for twitch have
allowed it to infest a great
number of fields over the
past few years. In, order to
control twitch in next year's
._ corn fields, treatment may be
started this fall. Applications
