Z`wo Men Convicts
By Jury, Hackett
Gets 5 -Year Term
Convicted of break, enter and
theft, Caswell Hackett, of Luck -
naw, .was sentenced to five years
in Kingston Penitentiary and John
Sproule, Goderich to nine months
definite and nine months inde-
finite by Judge T. M. Costello . in
County Court here last Friday.
The two were found guilty by
a County Court jury after almost
four hours of deliberation follow-
ing a trial which lasted for three
'days.
The jury retired to consider the
verdict shortly before 4 p.m. and
't was close to 8 p.m. before it
returned.
The two men were charged joint-
ly with breaking and entering the
residence of Joseph Bowler, West
Wawanosh last February and theft
of approximately $700.
A grand jury returned a true
bill on Monday and the trial was
started 'on Wednesday. Over 30
witnesses had been heard' by the
time the trial concluded and 16
exhibits had been entered by
Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays,
Q.C. .
No defence was offered by Frank
Donnelly, Q.C., who represented
the two men, although he did sub-
mit that there was not enough
evidence to merit a conviction.
In sentencing Hackett, Judge
Costello noted that the accused
had a record which dated back to
1934. He reminded- both men that
the purpose of sentencing them
to institutions was for punishment
and to remind others that laws are
not made to be broken.
Members of the .petit jury which
heard the case were: Earl Bowes,
farmer, Grey Township; Harry
Goll, farmer, Morris Township;
Arnold Berthal, butcher, Blyth;
Milton Wilbert, trucker, Exeter;
James Prest, electrician, Colborne
Township; Glenn Waldon, farmer,
Ashfield Township; Roy Finkbein-
er, farmer; Stephen Township;
Percy Weston, carpenter, Stanley'
Township; H. Stephenson, sales-
man, Brussels, Edward Sale, Gode-
rich; Norman Beirnes, farmer,
Grey Township, and Orville Ford,
farmer, Stephen Township.

CAUSu swum roans
In addition to chdkins out crops,
Field Bindweed has, in a few cases,
caused poisoning to swine which
feed on the roots and rootstocks,
according to the Crops, Seeds and
Weeds Branch of the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture.
While under ordinary circum-
stances this situation is not likely
to arise, the fact that animals can
be harmed should focus more at-
tention op this import from
Europe.
First noted on this continent
about 1739, over. 200 'ears ago,
it was aptly ' named Field Bind-
weed, Cow Bind, , or Creeping
Jenny. The twining, choking plant
is to be found under all conditions.
Unless checked it rapidly spreads
over an area smothert.ng crop
plants.
Chemical Control
Spreading by seeds and creeping
roots, it climbs over Whatever
plants it contacts to rob them of
light and air. Blooms of white to
pinkish flowers resembling the
morning glory appear from June
throughout the 'remainder of the
season: These ripen to seeds
which will lie in the soil for years)
before germinating to continue an
infestation. Eradication of an in-
festation is difficult. The best con-
trol method is to keep Bindweed
seed from getting into the ground.
Use clean seed. Chemicals or
summer fallow will clean up email
areas. Nearly 100% control has
been obtained by repeated applic-
ations of 2,4-D at the rate of one
pound actual acid per acre. The
few remaining plants must be kill-
ed by cultivation. -
Larger areas have been success-
fully eradicated by heavy cultiva-
tion where tillage is carried out
every 12 days for two growing
seasons. The frequency of cultiv-
ation is important as all green
leaves must be chopped off so they
are not able to feed the plant
roots.
Regardless of what method is
used, persistence is necessary. for
complete eradication,
