This year’s dry summer led to
more weed problems than usual, Joe
Gibson, Huron County Weed In
spector told county council in his
annual report at the Nov. 3 meeting.
Snihur gave their story.
Thehymn, “O Christ In Thee”
was sung. Rev. Snihur read scrip
tures from Acts and the Philippians.
The Prayer Chorus ‘‘God is so
Good” was sung. Rev. Snihur’s
sermon was entitled ‘‘The Best Way
to Remember’ ’ and there was a time
of silent remembering.
The offering was received by
Allan Webster and Marinus Bakker
and dedicated, followed by offera-
tory response, ‘‘We give Thee but
Thine Own”. The hymn, ‘‘Lead On
0 King Eternal” was sung. Rev.
Snihur pronounced the Benediction
followed by the Benediction Re
sponse, “Reachout, reachoutto
Others”, ended the service.
The warmest temperature ever
recorded in the United States, 56.7°.
was set in Death Valley, California,
July 10, 1913. ata place with the
ironic name of Greenland Ranch.
This is also a record high for the
Western Hemisphere.
Lack of moisture hampered the
effectiveness particularly of pre-
emergent and post-emergent chem- •
icals, he said.
Proso- millet is still the worst weed
in the county, he said with little
control in corn except scuffling.
Velvet leaf is also spreading farther
all the time. Coltsfoot is also another
growing concern he said. Proso
millett, coltsfoot, and poison hem
lock have been added to the list of 23
noxious weeds while chickory, bind
weed and wild garlic have been
removed.
Mr. Gibson noted the increase in
the fine under the weed act from $50
for a first offence to $500.
Reporting also as the county tree
commissioner, Mr. Gibson said that
lumber prices have remained strong
with landowners taking advantage
of these for selling off timber. A total
of 180 notices of intent to sell trees
were approved. Sixteen clearing
authorizations not requiring a per
mit were approved, five of these
involved with the Ontario Hydro
corridor, he said.
Lionel Wilder, Reeve of Hay asked
if there had been any reforestation
with lower-growing trees along the
Hydro right of ways. The Conserva
tion Authorities are concerned with
the deforestation and worried that
the line may become a windtunnel to
wreak destruction on exposed soil.
Mr. Gibson said Ontario Hydro is
willing to reforest the land but so far
to his knowledge there hasn’t been
anyreforestingdone. ‘‘Youcan’t
force people to plant them (the
trees),” he said.
Colborne Reeve Russel J. Kernig-
han said he had heard that the
Ministry of Natural Resources was
pulling out of tree planting, planning
to throw the full burden on Conser
vation Authorities. Mr. Gibson said
the county should be putting
pressure on the Ministry of Natural
Resources to keep on planting trees.
