Plow Weedy Pastures This Fall
"There are many ,okl unprofitable
pastures to be seen in the,countryside
;heavily infested with weeds---gold,en-
rod, 'Canadian thistle wild 'carrot,
etc," says Dr. 0. McConkey of the
Ontario Agricultural College, and he
continues: "These can be improved
200 to 300% iby ((11) fall 'plowing, (2)
cropping for cote or two years to clean
off weeds, (030 raising the soil !fertili-
ty level, ;(4) seeding to a ;balan-
zed pasture mixture of legumes and
grasses. !
If you have a weedy pasture of
this kind, plan to plow it this fail and
start the improvement plan as .otit-
lined above, and it will return you
many dolbars of profit over the pres-
ent low producing pasture,
Old pastures infested with weeds
like Canadian thistles, ',wild •carrot,
etc., are a weedmenace to the oom-
munity. Plowing and clean cropping,
and in some cases summer fallowing,
are the best ntethods of getting rid of
the weeds and preparing suitable sail
conditions for seeding down to a prof-
itable pasture mixture.
Mowing pastures should the moi'e
widely practised in Ontario. When
the new pasture is .established and
weeds are in the first stages of 'bloom.
Most ,weeds are readily !killed at this
period of growth. The mower bar
should be !fitted with adjustable skids
which raise the mower bar about 6
inches depending on the roughness of
the pasture. These skids can be easily
made by the local 1?lac,ksmith 'and are
inexpensive.
When seeding down ;be sure that
the fertility level of the soil is high,
especially in the materials such as
lime, phosphorus, and potash. The
best plan is to send a composite sam-
ple of the soil, taken at ten 'different
places across the field, M the Soils
Department, Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege, for analysis. The report and sug-
gestions from that .department wll
enable you to fertilize wisely and eco-
nomically according to the fertility
requirements of your soil type, Min-
erals increase the chances of securing
a good catch of seeds, lower the per-
centage of winter killing of the leg-
umes, and, what is most important,
increases the protein and material
content of the feed.
For further information 'regarding
the mixtures for pastures and hay
write to the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege, Guelph': for Circular No. 28,
"Pasture is Paramount for Osfiik and
Meat Production in ;Ontario."
Plowing Match Next
Every farmer has an eye for it nice
plow team and a good piece of plow-
ing. He will have all this to his heart's
content at the, great International
Plowing Match to be held at Mine -
sing, near Barrie, October Mt le, 13
and 14. Here he will see the chanipion
plowmen of Canada with their sleek
and steady plow teams. He will see
tile greatest collection of up-to-date
farm machinery ever housed under
canios—emost a mile of !'tented
city". He will see .demonstrations that
will prove invaluable to him in his
every day fife on the farm. These are
just a few of the reasons why .every
Ontario farmer shauld make a special
effort to attend the one and only In-
ternational Plowing Metall, the great-
est event of its kind not only in the
British Empire, but the entire world.
Every farmer should ;bring :his wife
and family too. There will ibe 'educa-
tional and .practical exhibits that ev-
ery farm woman will appreciate!
A popular feature of iformer plow-
ing matches will the maintained in the

toric past of Ontario. At .1(11 (a.m. and

Some BrieF Notes
on the Canada
Temperance Act
This series of articles, which will apRear
in your paper from week to week, 11.113 spon-
sored by the Temperance Federation arid
W, C. T. U. of Huron County. Their purpose
Is to give a brief history of the minin,
scope and possibility of enforcement of the
Canada Temperance Act from the time of
its inception up to the present.
No. 3—WHY .SUSPENSION WAS
ASKED
Among the 'counties that reverted
for self-protection to the Canada
Temperance Act about 1016 were
Huron, !Perth and Teel. When the
Canada Temperance Act was 'brought
into operation in .Huron in May of
that year eleven of the sixteen town-
ships and in addition the Town of
Clinton were under local option law.
During the progress of the war, the
Ontario Temperance Act, imposing
province -wide prohibition of retail
sale, was passed in 111916.
There i$ a natural development in
laws to meet changed conditions and
growing abuses which appar with
the passage of time. The liquor ;laws
are no exception and the provincial
Act of 110116 carried more ample pro-
vision than the Dominion flaw of
MS. It also canried 'heavier penalties.
But the general rule that ,whea a Do-
minion act and a provincial act :cover
the same charges, the •Dominion law
takes precedence, prevented the ap-
plication of these heavier penalties
in Huron and other counties ,under
the Canada Temperance Act.
'In order to secure the 'complete ap-
plication of the provincial prohibitory
law. the Canada Temperance Act
was amended so as to provide for the
suspension of its operations on peti-
tion of the 'electors concerned. Huron,
Perth and ,Peel took advantage .of this
provision and in each county the op-
eration of the Act was suspended ha
order of the Governor-General in
Council. The temps of this ,satonellsioll
provision were 1 bit indefinite. The
suspension was to continue, as aong
as the provincial statute .continued to
be as restrictive as ,the Canada Tem-
perance At,
Both the introduction of the 'Can-
ada Temperance Act in these ,coun-
ties and its suspension were doe to
the legally expressed desire of the
people of these 'counties for mare
complete restriction of liquor; and
this attitude has 'been so !pronounced
and ,persistent that the liquor inter-
ests have not •dared to challenge it by
a vote on :the question, ;preferring to
carry on a sabotage of the law and
the will of the people through the in-
strumentality of the Ontario govern-
ment.
