Should Plow Deep To Kill Chicory Chemicals, Too, Are Effective In the Eradication of One of Ontario's Most Objection- able Weeds Chicory Is fast becoming one of the most objectionable of the per- ennial weeds found in Ontario, says John D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept, Of, Agriculture, Toronto. In- troduced from Europe years ago, it was gown to a limited extent as a cultivated plant for its roots which were ground and mixed with coffee, Today it is one of the most troublesome weeds to be found ou roadsides, 'fence lines. vacant places and occasionally in cultivated fields. Chicory is bright blue in color; hes leafless much -Branched stems bearing' numerous clusters of flower heads on the naked branches. The flowers are about ono inch across and usually closed by noon. The leaves are long with irregular edges spread along the ground. THOROUGH CULTIVATION The roots are thick and go down deep, That is why it is necessary to plow deep with a sharp share so that all rbots will be cut off well below the crown. Thorough culti- vation should follow at regular In- tervals using wide shales which overlap In the cultivator. Cultiva- tion and a short rotation of crops will control this weed. Chicory can be eradicated 100 Der oeot with chemicals at costs 'which are not prohibitive, This method is recommended where cue tivation is not possible. Mr. Mac- Leod advises consultation with your nearest Agricultural Repre- sentative or Weed Inspector re• garding use of chemicals. Write The Crofts, Seeds and Weeds Branch. Parliament Buildings, . To- ronto, for pamphlet No, 00—"Wood Eradication by Chemicals." It is free of charge. Due to length of root, Chicory cannot be pulled by hand, Scatter- ed plants should be spudded off below the crown.- " BY ANNE ASHLEY Q, What is a good rinsing water for blond hair? A, An excellent rinsing water for blond hair is a level teaspoon- ful of borax added to a gallon of water. This brings out all the lights in blond hair. Q. How can I prevent . boiled potatoes from becoming watery? A. This is usually caused by allowing the potatoes to remain in water after they are cooked, Test them with a fork, and as soon as they are tender, drain and shake them for a minute over a Iow fire. Q. How can I brighten a faded rug or carpet? A. After thoroughly sweep- ing and cleaning the rug or car- pet, wipe it with a cloth wrung out of diluted ammonia. Q. HOW. can I remove beer stains from linens? A. Soak the linens 'for five minutes in salt and cold water, and then pour a stream of boiling water, held at a height, through the stain ,until it disappears, Q. How can I pour the paraf- fin onto nay jelly so, that it may be easily removed later? A. 'After filling the jar with jelly, lay a strong piece of string about six inches long over the top of each jar. Then pout the paraffin over the cord and allow to harden. When the jelly is to be used,, the paraffin will slip out easily ;by taking hold of each end of the string and pulling. Canadian Crews Man Corvettes Canadian Built Corvettes, Manned by Canadians, Are Proving Efficient and Sea- worthy Corvettes from Canadian ship- yards and manned by Canadian crews are giving efficient service in both United Kingdom and Can- adian waters, Navy Minister Mac- donald said at Ottawa. The minister said the balk of the corvette order for British and Can - Mien navies given to Canadian shipyards a year ago will be in commission before the froezoup this fall and many of then[ have been in service several months.' Working alongside similar ships from British yards, the Canadian - built corvette is proving exceed- ingly useful and seaworthy, The ships for the Canadian Navy are named, after Canadian towns or cities and will carry the names of these towns fad' and wide. The, corvettes built in Great Lakes yards are deliverer) to the navy at Montreal and at once manned be corvette crews sentup front .the east coast, Crews aro held in readiness con- stantly in Montreal so there will be no delay in getting the corvettes into service as soon es available, Corvettes built below Montreal are taken over at the shipyards by crews from the east coast.

In the evenings, after their worn in the plant the men do not disperse to their 711 pro- perties, but go in a group to one farm. There they hay, shingle the barn, weed •turnips—in fact, do anything there is to do. Their wives help by serving community Time limit for the co-operative. effort le two hours an evening, and so far the idea has clicked.

Disclosed Britain's big new Stirling bom- bers, it is permitted now to dis- close, have a wingspread of 99 feet, are 87 feet and three inches Icing and many are powered by engines built in the United States. Some have four 1,400 horse- power leristo4-Hercules engines, a British type, but others' have four Wright double - row, 1,350 horsepower Cyclones, built in the United States, Their speed, bomb capacity and guns stili are secrets, but British sources said their °armament is "very heavy", including gun tur- rets both front and rear. States Forecasts Paper Shortage Books and Writing Paper May Be. Of Poorer Quality- Newspapers Not Affected A shortage in the United States of book, writing andsome other types of paper was forecast last Week by 'offiefals of the office of. production 'management who said also that reader's may find .before many months that their magazines and books have a yellowish hue. Curtailment of supplies of chlor- ine, used as a•bloaching_ agent, will result in less "brightening" in some kinds of paper, they ex- plained. Newspapers are little affeoted because not much chlorine is used in newsprint, CONSUMPTION TO INCREASE The paper shortage, likewise, will not affect newspapers, de- fence officials said, because Can- adian neweenlift production , has not equalled capacity and is being increased. The shortage in other types of pulp, they said, is due largely to greatly increased demand, Consumption during 1940 reach- ed a peak of 16,300,000 tons and forecasts for 11141 pace demand at 18,600,000 tons. In addition, im- ports from Norway have been cut off, Red Cross Boxes To War Prisoners There are now about 70,000 British Commonwealth prisoners of war, it was reported a short time ago by War Services Mini- ster Thorson; The number of food boxes to be packed by the Canadian Red Cross has been in- creased because of an increase of prisoners and partly because of "some kind of difficulty in doing the packing in the United King- dom." The boxes, packed in Toronto,l contain 16 items of food, equival- ent to 2,070 calories and weigh 11 pounds apiece. The cost of each box is about $2,50. Y.W.C.A.

When's A Tian Can N©t A Tin Can? When It Is Mostly Made of Steel—Thin Coating of Tin Only on Inside Carlton F. Sturdy, executive of a company in the United States which ,mattes millions of cans a year, has debunked the time-hon- ored belief in the tin can, by de- finitely taking the tin out of it, Sturdy told the Montana Food Distributors' Association that the "tin" can is in reality made of steel and that the only tin used in its manufacture is a thin coat- ing for the 'purpose of prevent- ing rusting, TINS STERILE The steel used, he deolared, is just as sterile and is as carefully selected as that for the finest surgical instruments. The amount of tin in these steel containers, he said, is only 1.3 per cent. Sturdy declared that all tin cans are sterilized and food left in them is far safer than when it is emptied into a dish; He advocated all food, whether left in the original container or ' emptied into a dish, be consumed within two or' three days, owing' to the factthat food exposed to the air begins to deteriorate after that time.

GROW ROOTS NEW WAY Agriculture took to the air today with announcement .of a method for growing roots on the rootless cuttings by merely hanging them up in moist airs The discovery, which free plants of all contact with any kind of soil to start their growth, is of immediate practical use to horti- culture. It was described in Science, the official journal of American scientists, by: P. P. Pir- one of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station. A home-made box is used, with a rubber curtain dividing the space into back and front, Thereare little holes in the curtain, with Iath shelves in front. The rootless cut- tings are laid on the shelves, the bare ends, where roots are desired, sticking through the holes. Behind this curtain, where the 'bare ends project, the air is kept extremely moist by another simple, cheap and easily home-made gad- get. There is a trough of water at the top of the hack -curtain space, with strips of abs 'bent cloth hanging down, acting as wicks to spread the moisture. In the high moisture thus created in the air, roots have developed rapidly on many different plant cuttings, including begonias, ger- aniums, phlox and ivy. Dormant hardwood cuttings have produced successful roots. All these plants have been trans- planted to soil and continued to develop normally. An advantage of the method is ease of seeing, through a glass bacicwa.11 of the box, how the roots are developing. !YOHAVE g, U UAD The members of the faithful little flock in a town in Scotland had managed to build a church. Everything was considered com- plete — until it was discovered that the church had no bell. A campaign was started for funds for a bell, but the parish had been well drained, so the pastor sought funds from outsiders. He finally approached one .farmer. The farmer listened, thought a moment, and tusked: "Ye say ye have a new ohoorch?". "Yes," said the pastor, "An' uoo ye want a bell for ut?"

He opened one and found it contained the simple word, "Fool." Quietly and with becom-' ing seriousness he announced to the congregation the fact in these words, "I have known many an instance of a man writing a letter and forgetting to sign his name, but this is the only instance I have ever known of a man signing his name and forgetting to write the letter."

Every new job of concrete work should be kept coveted from the sun and wind, and thoroughly wet down twice a day for at least a week. This is doubly im- portant in making tanks and will prevent unsightly and unsanitary cracks which may ruin the job. Where there 'is danger of freez- ing, the sand, gravel and water should be heated before mixing, and the work must be prote.ted carefuly from cold until it is thoroughly set. rl � �QBI � `1d� � s • s Af: tea'r's WANTED AWN. 1115.
