THE WEED 'OF THE WEEK
WILD CARROT
Wild carrot is spreading at an.
alaruning mate in Ontario and is
now considered one of the worst
weeds iw tee province, states John
D. Macleod, weed expert or the
Ont. Dept. df Agriculture, A bien-
nial weed (wed carrot) requires
two years to produce seed and can
easily be distinguished my its.
sterns, flowers and leaves which
closely resemble the cultivated
carrot.
Wild carrot luo(wers from Judy to
September. When open, they are
in white, flat topped clusters, later
closing up for the winter wren they
may break off and. be carried miles
over frozen, ground and snow, scat-
teing seede as they are carried
along.
Being a biennial, any plan for er-
adication sirould cover a two year
period. Wild carrot does not give
any difficulty where thorough: cul-
tivation and a short rotation or
°raps is practised, but in meadow%
whit's have been down two years or
more, in pasture fields, rence lines,
waste places and roadsides, it is
rapidly becoming one of Ontario's
worst weeds declares Mr. Mac-
Leod.
Pulling, spudding or cutting for

Pruning Trees
Requires Care
Must Be Done Properly _
To Insure Right
Development
To insure proper development
and vigorous growth of the tree,
pruning must be carefully and
Properly done. Alt dead, (bruised
and brokea roots are removed with
a :sharp knDfei or printing shears:
Clean cuts will heal rapidly, while•
ragged: cuts heal slowly and may
provide an, entrance place for in-
fection, "Phe top of the tree Is
cut back to balance the root sys-
tem; that is, enough of the bran-
ches are out back or .entirely re-
moved to compensate for the loss
of roots when the tree was dug.
Thus ,the loss of moisture by
transpiration through the leaves is
kept in proportion to the intake of
moisture ,through the roots, pre.
beating a too rapid drying out of
the top of the ,plant. The centre
Stem, of 'the tree, known as• the
leader, is retained, bet if the tree
is too tall for true number of side
branches it may be topped a lit-
tle. From one-third to one half of
the length of the side branches is
cut back. In pruning, it is kept
in intact that the complete tree
sibonld present a pyramidial shape,

A COMPANY EVERY CANADIAN
MAY WELL BE PROUD OF
From tiny beginnings on an Ontario farm ninety years ago, Massey -
Harris has grown steadily, until now it is the largest maker of farm
implements in the British Empire.
Keeping pace with and helping onward Canadian agriculture,
it has also, since the Eighteen Eighties, spread out to most lands beyond
the seas. Romance fills the years and experiences of the Company in
its ventures,abroad. A Canadian company with Canadian headquarters,
it is today as solidly entrenched in the business of a score of other
countries as it is in its native land.
Transacting business in 52 countries in addition to Canada, in
the languages and currencies of these various countries is as fasci-
nating as it is profitable. For while the exigencies of crops and conditions
may vary the Company's fortune in these lands, yet it is a fact, that in
the years from 1928 to 1937, because of this export business, Massey -
Harris spent, in Canada $21,261,763 more than the total revenue from
its sales in Canada. Surely a valuable asset to our country and a
Canadian achievement of which we may all be justly proud.

Superintendent of Toronto schools,
said in a recut lnterhiew d.eclar-
ing the drop iu the number of

trend by no mean1e peculiar to this
city;•
The last School year showed ap-
proximately 2,600 fewer pupils in
the Toronto public schools than
two pears ago," lie said. "There is
simttttr ebldence from all ocher
parts of the Noatiu American con.
tinent. Int the report of a resent
survey in the United. States it was
M+Ifsmlated that in 1940 there would
bag approximate9y 1,900,000 fewer
children of elementary school age
than in 1939. This downwardd trend,

years, well be an .important factor

The damp ln. attendance bas been
chieflp in the ldnsderganten and in

The chief conitriguttng causes to-
ward this, the Supeniutendervt of
Sdhoots listed as fewer anarriages,
partiehlarly in the years immed-
iately preceding 1925, smaller fam-
ilies due to fewer marriages and
