We go from box to box un- til we're finished. We are almost finished. I enjoy it very much. - Danny Gielnik. The Break - 1 had a good March break, what about you? I spent at least half of mine at sleepovers and slumber parties with my friends. No piano lessons over the break, not only that but it would give me another week to practice, and I think I needed it too! Even though I had a preuy nice break before I knew it was 7:00 a.m. Monday morning, and I was oh so tired. I hope you had a good March break until 7:00 Monday morning! - Melanie Neil. Partner Reading - I read a book to my partner and then read another to Kevin. They were "Jelly in the Bowl" and the other book was "1, 2, Buckle my Shoe". My favourite book was "Jelly in the bowl' and my other favourite book - was "1, 2, Buckle My Shoe" and then it was time to go home. - Brent Hoffman.

'National Quackgrass Week' HENSALL - This spring marks the beginning of a quackgrass awareness campaign that organizers hope will create a greater under- standing of what has been described as Canada's most under estimated weed. The campaign, "National Quack- grass uackgrass Week," will consist of a num- ber of activities all coming to a peak during the week of April 3, 1989. Participating locally in the pro- gram rogram is Dale Good, Manager of W.G. Thompson and Sons Ltd., in Hensall. •"Quackgrass,is a very seri- ous problem," Good explains. "Every year it robs Hensall farmers of thousands of dollars in lost yield. It's estimated that overall in Cana- da, farmers may be losing $200 million annually to the weed," Good says. That loss is the result of a combi- nation of factors, Good says. "Many farmers aren't aware of how damaging quackgrass can really be, some are unaware of the latest in- formation on control methods and still others have resigned them- selves to accept quackgrass as an in- evitable part of farming." But campaign organizers hope to overcome as many these problems re" as possible. Quackgrass can effec- tively and economically managed, they contend, which is the main point they hope to make during this spring's campaign. Some of the activities scheduled as part of National Quackgrass Week are educational meetings, quackgrass literature distribution through ag-products retailers and mailing of news material to news- papers, farm publications and radio stations. Supporters hope that focusing the attention of the farming community on the quackgrass problem will. create a higher level of awareness of technical and educational resources available to farmers. The campaign is being supported by the Quackgrass Action Commit- tee, Monsanto'Canada, Inc. and ag- ricultural retailers across the coun- try. d‘P•FP,:co\‘.
