That's the way your bank handles them. ,When you deposit money, cash a cheque, make a money transfer, arrange a loan, you want it done speedily, efficiently .. , and above all, Confidentially. It is only natural that your bank should work that way for you, for privacy is traditional in Canadian banking. In any case, the competition of other banks assures it.

Bennett, Argicultural Representative for Huron County announced last week that Mr. Fred 0. Wilson has been appointed Assist- ant Agricultural Representative for this County. Mr. Wilson, who will Control of Mustard by Spraying (By W. R. Dougall, County Weed Inspector) Spring grain crops in Huron look very promising at this time of year. Seeding is completed. The ground worked well this spring and weather conditions have so far been ideal. In a few days the picture will be marred by the ugly appearance of mustard in manly fields in the Coun- ty. Mustard like all other weeds is a moisture sapper and lowers the grade of grain and reduces its val- ue as feed. The seeds will lie in the ground for years if the field is seeded out and appear again when the field is sown to crop. It is an established fact that mustard can be killed by spraying with 2-4-D solu- tion. It is one of the most suscept- able weeds to respond to this treat- ment. A mild solution applied with low pressure is 100% effective,, if thoroughly applied. Spray as you would paint. Cover the whole sur- face evenly. This treatment will also help control Canadian Thistle and Sow Thistle and will prevent them from maturing seed. After making a survey of the County, I find that in almost every community the equipment is avail- able and men anxious to do custom spraying. The cost runs around $2. per acre and in some cases less. The time to spray is when the grain is 5 or 6 inches high and before the mustard is in bloom. All weeds are most easily killed when young and tender. Do not spray where fields are seeded out with clover as the chemi- cal wilt kill the clover. Grain will not be injured in any way. The united effort of farmers can make this pro- ject a success. Consult your Agricul- tural Representative or County Weed Inspector for assistance, commence his duties on June 1st, is a member of this year's graduating class at the Ontario Agricultural College, having specialized in Ani- mal Husbandry.
