Experimenters are highly delightl by the . discovery of pre -emergence weed control, because it provides another chance for an attack • on weeds. They see an opportunity of killing weeds this way, in crops that cannot be sprayed or dusted: with a herbicide after they emerge. Beams are a good example of this kind of crop. At present there' is no known chemical that will kill weeds in beaus after they have emerged, without'in- jury to 'the crop. Theoretically pre -emergence weed control looks promising but in :prac- tice it does not always work so well. If a rain comes before the herbicide has completed its mission, the results aro likely to be disappointing. An - other objection to pre -emergence weed control is its high cost. Less than two pounds of 2,4-D acid per acre is not satisfactory. Slightly better control of the same weeds can be secured by post -emergence treat - ments at about one-eighth the cost, 2,4-D, however, is not the only chem - ical that can be used for pre-emer- gence weed control, cyanamid, dimi- tro compounds, and oils may be used for the same purpose. Indeed any chemical . weed killer, the residual effect of which is short-lived, may be used for this purpose. Pre -emergence is an intriguing method of weed control and experi- mentors are not through with it yet. COUNTY COUNCIL • Revised estimates submitted by County Tieasurer Erskine to the county council at Goclericli on Tues- day, set the county rate at 8 mills, made up as follows: General account, 4.50 milts; county highway, 3.50 mills; plus the cost of secnodary schools to townships or parts of townships not included in high school areas. "' The budget for the new county health unit was estimated at $35,000 for the balance of the year, 50 per cent of which is payable by the prov- ince, making the county's share $17,500. ' Three farms are expected to be bought by the reforestation commit- tee and the January estimate has been increased accordingly; nor was any provision made for the purchase of a county museum at $3,000. These changes necessitated a reduction of $10,000 from the estimates for alterse tion to the registry office to stay within the January mill rate," he said. Total estimated expenditures in the general account are 5267,325; esti- mated revenue, ,5267,713; estimated surplus, $388. Warden Armstrong emphasized that committees must keep within their estimates, or the balance would be of the wrong color. Mrs. P. Chaffee, superintendent o the county Children's Aid Society, re- ported 50 child protection cases; 86 children in care; 59 unmarried parent cases; •10 adoptions completed, The society, she said, was tumour- aged by the interest and support of -Women's Institutes. Miss Ida White, R.N., recently appointed as social worker, was commended, as was the juvenile court judge, D. E. Holmes, K.C. Miss C. McGowan, assistant sup- erintendent, is convalescing after an emergency operation. Several reeves voiced a complaint that there was not sufficient in:firme- tion regarding cases before admission to the county home. The debate arose otit of the report of the county home committee that there had. been considerable trouble with three or four instates. The committee proposes to pave the laneway and road around the Home at a cost of $2,000. CLEANING UP THE STORAGE Most stored products, such 'as fruits and vegetables require a moist atmosphere. Unfortunately this if an excellent condition for the de - velopment of organisms and moulds. These moulds feed on the structural parts of the storage, bringing about disintegration and ultimate destruc- tion. If an examination is made in the spring of joists, rafters and'in- side sheathing of a storage moist spots will be seen, and often a moul- dy or partially rotted condition. Fre- quently these conditions exist where casual inspection is not easy. These moulds also give rise to musty odours which are frequently absorb - ed by the fresh products, giving them an undesirable taint, says• W. R. Philips, Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa HULLETT The regular monthly meeting of Hullett Township Council was held June 2, in the Community Hall at Londesboro.

PRE -EMERGENCY WEED CONTROL Pre -emergence weed control means the application of a chemical weed killer on the soil after a crop is seeded and before it comes through the ground, says George Knowles, Division of Field Husbandry, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The theory of how pre -emergence weed control works, is that a chem]- cal weed killer when applied on the soil forms a thin herbicidal film on the ground surface. This film is death to emerging tender plants, but does not seriously injure those that are more robust. Pre -emergence weed control is, therefore, selective in its action. That is, it kills some plants and does no harm to others. Generally speaking, most annual weeds are delicate and very sensitive to a herbicide when they are coming through the ground. Consequently many of them are killed by pre-emer- gence treatment provided all condi- tions are favorable. Beans, for example, by comparison with annual weed seedlings, are quite robust when they are breaking through the soil. Consequently they will go through the herbicidal film unlit- lured. Several other crops are able to come through this film unscathed. Coming to Seaforth. t. Saturday, June 11.
