Two young :nen from Australia arc plan- ning a tour of United States and Canada and have booked at various farm homes along their planned route. They start their tour in August 1964. Farm Va- cations Inc. puts outa directory of recommended homes in the States and Canada. There is a brochure of Canadian homes also. Most farms today have mo- dern conveniences --all the best of city home comfort in a coun- try setting. Many fine large country homes would be ideal places for a farm vacation. The host and hostess find new friends among their visi- tors. City people find that farmers are not all the "cousin Clem" type but are country bu- siness men, very well informed regarding current events world- wide and local. A vacation on the farm means that it is not necessary to load and crowd the car with tent, bedding and food. Just choose the farm that appeals to you from the brochure. You may choose a farm near a lake. Many hostesses pack picnic meals which makes it easy to take the family and a picnic dinner to the lake and return home in the evening to a cool, airy farmhouse and all the comforts of home. Spending your holiday on a farm is a great was to get the most for your vacation dollar. Fees include a good clean room with meals prepared by the na- tion's top farm cooks. Snacks and tea or coffee and picnic lunches are available all the time. You are invited to share the farmer's home. Hospitality at its best is yours for the ask- ing.

Which Is Best Hog Building? Which is the best type of swine building for your farm? Agricultural engineers, reports the Meat Packers Council of Ca Canada, are continually de, signing new buildings for hous- ing livestock and comparing them under various conditions to find out which ones are the most economical. Animal scientists at Purdue University recently built four different kinds of hog barns: (1) an open front pole barn with a paved exercise and feeding yard outside,(2) a steel framebuild- ing with a concrete floor, (3) a steel frame building with a completely slatted floor, and (4) a steel frame building con- sisting of long narrow pens with the rear portion beim slatted. The experiment showed that the 4th set-up, a steel building with long narrow pens and par- tially slatted floors, was the cheapest unit for raising hogs. While further tests are .being run, preliminary results indi- cated that the long pen arrange• ment required much less labour to look after the hogs. The costs of feed and bedding were much lower than any of theoth- er buildings and the combina tion of long narrow pens with partially slatted floors at the rear, lowered hog production costs considerably, even though the open front pole barn type of building was the cheapest to build initially. Livestock buildings which save labour can often be justi- fied even if they do cost mare Weed of the Week series ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Crab -grass Easy to Control Crab -grass causes more an- noyance than almost any other weed. It comes in two sizes, large and hairy, and small and smooth. The small variety is most common in Ontario gar- dens and lawns. Large or small, it is a real problem when it in- fests lawns, gardens or crops. Crab -grass seed does notger- minate and start growing intil the soil warms up. It continues to forge ahead under dry hot Meeting Held at Mitchell Home A meeting of The Canadian Farm Vacation Association was held recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fawcett near Mitchell. Miss Patricia Dickerman, executive director of New York, flew in and was guest speaker. Miss Elia Kinnie of Toronto, who is associated with the Wm. P. Wolf Organi- zation and is also the Canadian repres entative, attended. A sumptuous dinner was served and among those seated at the head table were, Warden David q. White of Perth County Reeve Wilfred Seebach and Mrs. Seebach, Arnold Kuhl, who is president, and Mrs. Kuhl of Owen Sound, Mr. Campbell of Mitchell and Mr. and Mrs. James Beirnes of Preston, Mrs. Beirnes is secretary of the Asso- ciation, Members were present from Manitoulin Island, Peter- boro, Williamsford, Allenford, Whitechurch, Wroxeter and other places in Ontario. Miss Dickerman gave an ac- count of the work of the Asso- ciation in an interesting and witty manner, stressing the point that it is a means of un- derstanding between city and country. Warden White made a speech stating that Perth County is the home of the Shakespearean Festival and vi- sitors could attend the Festival and visit at the farms at the same time. Reeve Seebach spoke in a similar vein and the warden showed a keen interest and offered to help in various ways. The meeting was thrown open for discussion and it was decided to hold the nextmeet- ing in the fall at Williamsford.

However, unless the labour saved allows the farm operator to either cut down on his hired help or in- crease the number of hogs raised without increasing his la- bour, then his profits will like- ly show little improvement. conditions when most o:her plants are slowed down. This annual grass weed is more com- mon on lighter soils, says the Soils and Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture. Crab -grass seedlings can be recognized by the short broad leaves of a yellow greenish shade. The fully grown plant may reach three feet in length though one foot is more com- mon. At this stage the plant often turns a purple shade and in August the fingerlike seed stems (4 or more in number) spread out from the end of the stem. Control of this weed any- where is partially dependent on smothering it out. In lawns high fertility and close clipping crowd it out and prevent seed formation. In a corn crop, at- razine effectively controls most crab -grass. In grain crops early harvest cultivation will prevent crab -grass going to seed. For lawn protection several chemical weed killers are avail- able. Dacthal or Zytron can be used for spring treatments. An- other effective treatment is trifluralin. This can be mixed with fertilizer and spread over the lawn. In the summer,phen- yl mercuric compounds orpotas- sium cyanate give good results. All of these herbicides should be used exactly as recommended by the manufacturer, In gar- dens, the hoe or hand pulling is still the only practical method of control. The Ontario Department prints a "Guide to Chemical Weed Control" (publication 75). This is revised annually.
