Crop Conditions The .following summary on weather and crap conditions at the beginning of May has been compiled by the Statistics Branch from reports of cor- respondents: The weather during April was very unfavorable for spring cultivation and seeding. Cold wet weather 'prevented operations on the 'land and at the end 01' the month less seeding of oats and :barley was completed :than in any year since 1922. lOnly 5 per cent. of the intended oat acreage had been planted and 3 per cent. of the :barley acreage. Warm dry weather was greatly needed for completion of the sending of spring grains and for good germination. Precipitation in Ontario during the five • month.s, November to March. was praotically equal to the average received during the ,past fiftysfive years. It became quite excessive in Southwestern Ontario, reaching flood proportions in the London area, The soil is well -supplied with moisture and provided satisfactory 'growing weather prevails from now on, the yield of spring grains this ,season may I be well up to the average.

COMING— Waikiki Wedding Cleaning Out Couch The eradication of couch ,grass, otherwise 'known as quack, twitch or watch eras:, is one af the hardest problems with which the fanner has to deal. Few people realize the enor- mous quantity of couch grass roots which exist in infested soil. Tests con- ducted by the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa, show weights af roots ranging from t513111 to 6,997 pounds to the acre—as much an a heavy crop of hay. NO wonder it is herd to clean out when it spreads by roots as well as seed. Thoroughly cleaning out the toots is the one ef- fective %l'ay of getting, rid of couch. In small area; this may be done by hand. In larger areas by shallow plowing and working thoroughly with the cultivator to keep the roots turn- ed up to the sun lonr enou:gh for them to "kill." Only as large an area as can be thoroughly cleantoi up at one time should he intiertakm, as halfway measures are only lost time and effort.
