Rural Clergy
To Study
Agriculture
Clergymen of all denomina-
t.ons and their tanulies, from
all parts of Optario, will at-
[� ud the tit—wench annual school
for rural clergymen at the On-
tario Agricultural College, at
Guelph during the last wee.of
Jul\ .
The course provides an op-
portunity for the clergy, cspec-
ia11v those in rural communi-
ties, ro gain a greater under-
standing of the changing social
and economic conditions in the
rural community affecting the
rural ehurch, and also to learn
something of the techniques of
modern agriculture, so that they
may be more intelligently in-
terested in the daily activities
of their people.
Dr. W. A. Young, college
chaplain and director of student
affairs at the Guelph colleges is
in charge of the school.
Included :n the week's pro-
gram are lectures and discus-
s.ons on rural sociology, con-
ducted 1' I?r. llelen Abell, of
the College faculty, and discus-
sions on cr:rrent .agricultural
problems ;,ith members of the
.):,.0 faculty.
An interesting program will
be. pro\ided for the famales of
the clergymen, including a
Bible school for the children,
conducted by the Anglican
Church, nature study tours, and
rec tea rico.
During the fifteen years that
the school has been in operation
more than 1, :, ire ministers have
attended. \fanv return year af-
ter year to enjoy a wee.< of
good fellowship with their col-
leagues on the beautiful Guelph
campus. The course is open to
any clergyman of any denomin-
ation.
Blackbird
Control
Program
A five-year program of re-
search on the biology and con-
trol of blackbirds will be insti-
tuted this sumnier it was an-
nounced by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Divided into two phases the
research will be directed to en-
deavour to discover why there
has been such a population ex-
plosion of the birds which has
resulted in considerable crop
damage and to develop me-
thods of control which will re-
sult in less damage to crops.
Ontario's Blackbird Control
Research Team is now in the
process of selecting an area in
Southwest Ontario that will he
most suitable at this stage of the
investigation. The main re-
quirements are the expectation
of large populations of black-
birds and large acreage of corn
so that reliable measurements
can be made of the control
measures on both the birds and
crop damage.
While the operation will be
carried out by the O. A.C. , the
program is subject to the ap-
proval of the Canadian Wildlife
Service and the Ontario Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests. This
is important in dealing with
birds that range over the whole
North American continent.
As man's use of the laird be-
comes more intensive, com-
petition between than and wild
animals increases. The need for
more effective control of bird
and mammal pests has increas-
ed whether damage is to crop,
forest, range, stored products,
or aircraft. Furthermore, se-
lective control measures ate re -
MILKWEED
Weed of the Week series
ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Milkweed is a perennial
that is easily identified at any
stage of growth. The shiny
green leaves are opposite on
the single sten: growing two to
five feet high. The creamy
or purple flowers form a cluster
on top of the stein. The stem
and leaves contain a very
sticky white sap. One or more
roughly shaped seed pods form
per plant and the seed is equip-
ped with an arrangement of
hairs like a parachute and will
float across a country -side in
the fall.
This weed spreads by seeds
and by shoots from an exten-
sively underground root system.
Cutting will prevent seed set
and a spread to new locations
but will not prevent rapid
spread by the extensive root
system in an established area.
Brushkill ar16 oz. of acid per
acre will kill the top growth if
applied ‘\ hen the plants are
quired since general methods
may kill both beneficial and
harmful species. Among the
most serious wildlife pests at
this time are blackbirds and
starlings. They attack grain
and otl.er crops throughout North
America causing many millions
of dollars in losses each year.
No country in the world has
achieved a completely satisfac-
tory solution to the problem of
certain species of birds that ex-
pand beyond tolerable limits.
The United States, however,
has conducted research for many
years on a wide variety of tech-
niques 4tnd it is the further de-
velopment of some of these
techniques that the Ontario
Blackbird Research Team will
have to use this summer. These
include the use of special traps
such as the searchlight trap
which liar been used by the Uni-
ted States Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice in Arkansas to trap more
than 120,00 blackbirds and
starlings in one night's setting,
and they use various sound re-
pcllatrts which have been used
widely at the Denver Wildlife
Researcl. Centre.
An aircrew trainee was sit-
ting at a table explaining his
importance to a visiting girl
friend. The young lady asked
him what rank he held.
"Section 'I' optician; he re-
plied.
"I have never heard of that
before. What are your duties?"
she asked.
"Scraping the eyes out of
potatoe!,, " he replied softly.

about a foot high. A second
spray when new growth appears
will kill most of the root sys-
tem, Spray directed at the un-
derside of the leaf is much
more effective than any spray
on the smooth upper leaf sur-
face. Brushkill will kill clo-
vers and alfalfa but it is often
better to lose a few good plants
than allow this weed to become
established. Milkweed usually
grows in colonies and spot treat,
ment will prevent unnecessary
crop loss. If the plant is in a
waste area or a fence row, a
spray application of Amitrol or
Amitrol T will kill all the
vegetation in the sprayed area.
A short period of soil sterility
may result. Do not allow
stock to pasture for two weeks
in areas where Amitrol has
been used.

"Control almost 100%

"This was my first year using Atrazine and I am pleased with
the result," says Mr. McLaughlin. "I used a heavier applica-
tion on very grassy areas and got almost 100°o control."
Atrazine treatment is normal routine with successful corn
growers. Your neighbours, who have used Atrazine, will tell
you they wouldn't grow corn without it.
One application of Atrazine controls weeds all season long
including those in the rows which can't be reached by cultiva-
tion, Start using Atrazine this year ... discover how profitable
corn production can be.
Ask your farm dupply dealer for an instructional leaflet on the
new, more concentrated formula, Atrazine 65W. Place your
order now and get your sprayer ready on time.
