SMALL SEEDED FALSE FLAX Weed of the Week series ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Small seeded false flax, an annual, or frequently a winter annual appeared in a large number of widely separated farms last year, reports the Soils and Crops Branch, Ontar- io Department of Agriculture. Its occurrence was most fre- quent in newly seeded mead- ows and pastures on farms where it had not previously been known. It also showed up in numerous fields of winter wheat. Susceptible to 2, 4-D in the early period of its life, before the bud stage, false flax can be controlled in wheat and spring grain if its presence is recog- nized in time. In new seed- ings it can be controlled with butyric form of 2, 4-D or MCP. The problem, of course, is that the weed is usually well past the spraying stage before it is recognized. In pastures, frequent and timely use of the mower will prevent seed form- ing and since the old plant will not survive the winter, good control will result. Newly seeded pasture mix- tures have sometimes been corn. pletely smothered with false flax so that only breaking re- seeding offers any chance of success. When this occurs, use the plow before the seed is ripe. Do not plow under ripe weed seeds and then blame the seed for the next weedy crop. It is a good idea to save a sam- ple of your seed mixture, just in case some new weeds show up. You then could have it tested to see if the weed seeds actually did come in the seed. Mission Band BLUEVALE-The Mission Band of Knox Presbyterian Church met on Sunday morn- ing with sixteen members and three visitors present.
