NEHRU ACCEPTS CANADIAN ATOM PLANT
Wild mustard ' (braS8iCEL • arven-
sis), alSo known as eharlock, her-
rink, Or field kale, is.probably the
most common and most widely clis-
trihuted weed hi Canada; being
found,-in all ten provinces, accord-
ing to the Field Crops Branch of
the Ontario 'ben-tuft-tient' of' Agri-
culture.
Wild mustard is a many branch-
ed, hairy stemmed' annual with
lower leaves which are' deeply dis-
sected or lobed; but coarsely tooth-
ed, and very short leaf stalks. The
flowers are light yellow and com-
paratively large, and the smooth,
or almdst smooth seed pods are
quite distinctive,
With its heavy oil content, the
seed of mustard may he dormant in
the ground for many years, which
makes its control an annual event.
Complete elimination cannot be ex-
pected until all seeds in the soil
have been germinated and destroy-
ed. When uncontrolled mustard
can reduce crop yields by as much
as ten bushels per acre, being a
prodigious feeder and using large
quantities of soil moisture,

Yellow Roeket, or ',Winter ;creSs
as it is sometimes known, has
spread to a greater extent, than
any other weed in 'Ontario in recent
years, according, to the Field CrOps
Branch of the Ontario.bepEirtment
of Agriculture, It is how classed as
a primary noxious -Weed and may
he either a biennial or ShOrt-liyed
perennial in habit, but. Spreads only'
by seeds, in' the' first year. ' -
In the past few.,•Yelirs',•the Yel-
low , Rocket; has. often-4.been
taken for miistatil,•. due, in
part to its increasing'' 'prevalence
and general, resemblance to that
weed. Yellow Rocket flowers•earlier
than wild niustaid', arid has much
smaller flowers:,
Like many ether - Weeds,' it. is a
native of Europe whe'reit has been-
cultivated as a not 'herb, It , now
is -seen in all • prOvineis except
Saskatchewan. Tt. is • One Of the
first troubiesome" weeds :to appear
in the spring' and is more, abundant
in low, damp plaCeS. It can be
found in meadows,, pastures 'arid
roadsides, groWirig.,Moit
moist, rich sailh.;
Yellow Rocket produces a dense
cluster of dark green, itiany4obe,d
leaves early in . the spring,; followed
by atprighrbranch sterns and clus-
ters of yellow, flowers from which
develop slender pods. It ;flowers in
late May and early June. It is chief-
ly spread' as '63 •impurity. in clover
and grass seed. This 'weeddoes
not persist in Spring cultivated
crop if the field had: been adequate-
ly Worked arid drainage-is not im-
paired too greatly.. In meadows, the
-weed can best 'be controlled by
cutting early and en-Siting.
Yellow Rocket may be controlled
cheinicallY with 2,4-D, but the rates
are sufficiently high .to cause
dahiageo to any legumes present in
hay or pastiire...In meadows, where
grasses predominate,, 2,4-D at about

During fly -time, 'horn flies alone
can cut milli production as much
1.0-20 per gent, and heel flies cause
such
eggs
when they are lay-
ing eggs that milk floW suffets, In
certain areas,black flies have killed
many valinible cattle. During the
winter mOhths wattles , and lice
may cause unthriftiness and dig--
ease in dairy herds,* resulting :in
poorer returns 'to. the. producer.
Considerable sums have been spent
each year•,•to conttol household
pests, such as house flies hi dairy
procesSing plants. Also additional
costs are incurred to prevent loss-
es by cheese mites, cheese skippers
