The Huron MPP,. in a state.

The Treasurer said this will

But he warned that, further
relief for the municipalities

"I would remind the people

they should be removed. Cut
them off close to the ground.
Most old canes will be disease '
ed to some degree, and will
act as a source of infection
for the new canes. It is better
to remove them now;rather than
leaving them till next spring.
Don't leave them in the rows;
remove and burn them.
Do not cultivate the rows.
Late cultivation stimulates late
growth,• resulting• in immaturity
of canes and increasesdanger
of winterkill.
It -is important to prevent
late, soft growth which will
winter -kill. ,To help harden off
the canes, sow a cover crop,
shortly after harvest. This cow
er crop competes with the canes
for water and nutrients, with the
result that the canes mature
earlier and are less subject
to winter injury. .
Oats or barley make a good
cover crop as they are killed
during the winter and can be
