Members of Municipal Councils, Road Authorities, . Weed' Inspectors and others interested in the welfare of the County and Province, gathered in the board room of the Agricultural Office, Clinton, on Wednesday, May 18th, at 10.00 a.m., for the purpose of discussing The Weed Control Act and its administration, problems of Weed Inspectors, weed identification and eradication also to hear sugges- tions ,for improvements and to plan a Provincial wide' campaign. for 1038. Mr. Ian MacLeod, Agricultural Representative for Huron. County, was appointed 'chairman, The 'fol- lowing speakers were present: John D. MacLeod, Dept of Agriculture, Toronto; Wrn, Wallace, Woodslee; T. Roy Patterson, County Engineer, Goderich; Ben Elder, Secretary, On- tario Brotherhood of Threshermen, Hensall. • In discussing The Weed Control Act and its administration, Mr. J. D. MacLeod pointed out that the main purpose of the Act was to form a bas- is whereby everyone might co-oper- ate in controlling 'weeds. Ratepay- ers with well eared for farms, lawns and gardens must be protected, stat- ed • the speaker. The duty of the Weed Inspector being to see that they receive this protection. Themainclause or body'of the Act reads as follows: "Every municipal- ity in the Province mustappoint at least one Weed Inspector whose duty it is to go over his municipality often enough to- isnow that weeds are not being neglected: Provision is made he the( Act whereby the Weed -Inspector tray en- ter on -property and have weeds de- stroyed after having served notice of his intention so to do, if the owner or occupant fails to co-operate the costs of which may be charged against the property and collected in the same manner • as taxes. Penalties are also provided in the Act for those who fail- to observe its provisions. For weeds listed as being noxious see The Weed Control Act. Weed inspectors were instructed to make a thorough, job of cleaning up to endeavor in every possible way to arouse, interest in the work and to secure the co-operation of everyone, to use good judgement when dis- charging their duties and to be firm when it was found necessary to en- force the Act, Municipal Councils are appointed by ratepayers to safeguard their in- terests. Profitables crops cannot be grown when weeds are present. Wee- dy farms mean lower' yi?elds, less revenue for the grower and eventu- ally unpaid taxes. t Municipal Coun- cils cannot evade their responsibility with regards to the. control of weeds. It will pay thein in dollars and cents to adopt . a weed control policy and to enforce itvigorously, stated the speaker. Good Weed Inspectors must be appointed. They trust be well paid and supported ` in their work. The part which the Road Superintendent plays in the control of weeds was ,also emphasized: Roads are public property, owned by the municipality. The Municipal Council is administrating the Act and should first clean up its own property there- by setting a good, example to the ratepayers and thttsmaking the work of their Weed Inspector much eas- ier. The destruction of weeds on roadsides is road maintenance and the road authority is responsible for seeing that the work is done before seeds mature. He must have the support of his council in this work. The Weed Control Act itself will not control a single weed it was stat- ed. Any work done must be the re- sult of definite human action. The co-operation of every ratepayer is necessary. Pressure brought to bear on the Municipal Council by the rate- payers will strengthen their hand. Knowing that they have the support of the public in this important work of weed control, the Council will be In a position to adopt a vigorous clean up campaign and the work of the Council, Road ..Superintendent, and Weed" Inspectors will be much more pleasant. Weeds within the corporate limits of cities, towns and villages are a disgrace to the municipality. -The importance of the tourist in- dustry in Ontario was emphasized Approximately $120,000,000 was spent in Ontario' by tourists in 1937. A clean, attractive municipality will be an inducement for tourists to prolong ' their visit' and to return.' In this connection a clean province reasonably free from weeds is of equal importance. Municipal Councils who, as a lagging in their work will be visited by Dis- trict Inspectors and pressure will be brought to bear if necessary in or- der to bring them tip to the standard sot by others. The Crops,' Seeds & Weed Branch through its District Inspectors will act in a stmervisory capacity and will be prepared to give information on . any phase of our ` work' and also to. assist Weed •Inspectors with any difficult problems' which they may. have.: ; In discussing• weeds and weed' Con- trol-, Ms. Wm.

He also emphasized the importance of sowing clean seed, soil fertility, thorough cultivation, a short rota- tion of crops, early maturing varie- ties, clovers, smother crops, the use of chemical, roguing, pasturing, hoed crops, summer fallowing, after har- vest cultivation and the disposal of weed seeds, all of which are impor- tant factors in Weed control. The cleaning of the threshing ma- chine and -all equipment before mov- ing as provided for in the Weed Con- trol Act will assist greatly in con- trolling the spread of weed seeds on to roadsides and on to neigtbouring farms. It was pointed out that threshers should be vitally interest- ed in weed control. Their business and revenue is governed by the con- dition of the crop which is being threshed. These in some cases may be lowered 75% »due to the presence of weeds. The co-operation of ev- ery thresher is solicited in a Provin- cial wide weed control, crop im- provement programme.

J. Zavitz, who bears a name, long and favor- ably known in Middlesex, referred to the fact that 'this county, once the source of some of the finest timber the world, is now forced to import hardwood. Ile pointed out the value of such demonstration and experi- mental work as the county forest. We have collie a long way since the time of the early settlers who saw .in the forests only enemies to be over- come by any means in their power. To them trees merely interfered with the cultivation of the land. They made use of what they could in their build- ings and for fencesand fuel and sold for as timber or cord -wood. 'It never for as timber or cord -Wood. t never occurred to most of them that, the trees would be a continuing source of wealth, although here and there 'there were farmers with sufficient foresight to preserve woodlots. Now the trend is being reversed, but it will be a long time before .the land in Ontario which is in the marginal class as far as farming is concerned is put to per- manent use in forestry.

A l i threshers must be treated alike and if we hope to retain their goodwill and to secure their co-operation this work must, be thoroughly done, stat- ed the speaker. -Weed Inspectors were urged to see that this legisla- tion was adhered to within their re- spective districts. The use of chemicals for the eradi- cation of weeds is past the experi- mental stage it was stated. Chemi- cals are now being used extensively and successfully for the eradication BAYFIELD The Dramatic Club of St, Paul's Church, Clinton, gave a very fine per- formance of the play, "For Pete's Sake," in the town hall on Friday evening last ;under ; the auspices of Trinity Church Guild.
