The Marketing Loan Act.
This is an important measure in-
tended to grant financial assistance
to organizations of producers incor-
porated" under the Companies Act
who desire to construct and operate
seed centres or potato warehouses. A
loan up to fifty per cent. of the value
of the land, building, and equipment
may be made, .provided that such loan
does not exceed, the suns of $3,000
in any one case: Thin loan • is' free'
of interest` for a period •of two years,'
but fifty per cent. must be repaid in
five years, and the balance at the end
of a further period of five years. The
act provides the usual machinery for
'the safeguarding of the investment.
This measure is introduced in
re-
sPonse to an indicationthat there
is
a real need in Ontario for encourag-
ing the development of local seed
centres where modern equipinent, for
cleaning seed grain can ,be estab-
lished, and in this way a . market
secured for the good seed . produced
in ]luny sections. Similarly, there are
Indications that •severalsections

to .order to carry their product for
a longer period, instead of forcing it
all on the market in a short tri ne,
thereby placing the stock under con-
trol of the dealer and speculatar.
the six hundred townships of On -
tarso, only ninety-twb were making
any effort to enforce it. In forty --
utile only had inspector's been ap-
pointed. In regard to the work of
inspectors, seventeen townships re-
ported the work of the inspectors as
satisfactory; fourteen reported ,that
the' work Was partially satisfactory.
Out of the six hundred townships of
the province, fifteen only reported
that this act' was successfully en-
forced; seventy-two that It was par-
tially enforced; and the remainder re-
ported that it was practically a dead
letter. It would seem from this in-
vestigation that legislation is having
but little effect in the control of
weeds, in Ontario..
Legislation, without education is,
in the opinion of the ,writer, useless.
It is only when the sentiment . of
those concerned 1s behind an act that
is can be successfully enforced and
such sentiment can be created only
by proper education.
In regard to education, consider-
able has been done by the Ontario
• Agricultural and Experimental
Union. Thig organization in co-oper-
ation with the Department of Botany,
{at the Ontario • Agricultural College
has carried on, during the past eight
years, eo-operative experiments in
weed eradication. Over seventy
farmers have conducted successful
experiments. The weeds experi-
mented with were - Perennial Sow
Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Cam-
pion or Cow Bell, Wild Mustard, Ox -
Eye Daisy, Field Bindweed, Wild
Oats and Chess.
The objects of these experiments
is to get data from which definite
statements may be made regarding
the best methods of controlling the
various had weeds. It is hoped to
include more weeds each year until
exact information has been obtained
concerning the eradiction ofmost of
the bad weeds in the province.
The results of this work are pre-
sented each year at the annual meet-
ing of tie Experimental Union at
Guelph and the more important re-
sults are published in the annual
report.
Six of these experiments have now
been carried on for eight successive
years, and some very valuable infor-
mation obtained regarding the con-
trol of such weeds as Perennial Sow
Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Cam-
pion, and Wild Mustard. This infor-
mation may be -briefly summarized
as follows:
1. That good cultivation followed
by rape' sown in drills provides a
means of eradicating both Perennial
Sow Thistle and Twitⅈ Crass':
2. That rape is a more satisfactory
crop to use in the destruction of
Twitch Grass than buckwheat.
3." That • rape gives much better
results' in the eradication of "Twitch
Grass and Perennial Sow' Thistle
when sown in drills and ;cultivated •
than it .does when sown •broadcast.
4. That thorough deep cultfration
in fall and spring followed •by' a well
cared for hoed crop will • destroy
Bladder Campion.
'5. That mustard may besprevented
from seeding in oats, wheat or barley
by spraying with a twenty per cent.
solution of iron sulphate without any
serious injury to the standing crop
or to fresh seedings of. clover.
In addition to this • exper•iinentai
and educational work of the Agricul-
tural
g ul-
tural and Experimental Union, 'the
Department of Botany has' carried on
various experimentsein the eradica-
tion of many of the worst weeds of
the province. -Prof. J. E. Howitt, •
