WEEDS The Weed Control Act which came into effect in.1927 is something which was probably never thought of by the pioneers of Agriculture in Ont- ario. At that time weeds were not serious and did not menace our peat - est industry—Agriculture. All I arm- ee§ fear weeds. Most farmers attempt to control them, a few seem to either disregard them or accept them as a necessary evil. Maximum yields are impossible in weed polluted fields. Some weeds if permitted to increase will eventually possess the laird, mak- ing profitable production impossible, depress farm values by 50 per cent or more and spell ruin for the 'owner, The majority who are fighting this menace vigorously deserve every en- couragetnent.and assistance in these days of labor scarcity and high pro- duction costs. Those who are indiff- erent need constant urging and few require coercion This should not be necessary but it ha"s not been Jotted satisfactory to permit each to "mind his own business" :because weeds do trot stay at home. and some men have. become a nuisance to their neighbors and. a real impedi.tnent to better agri- culture, For. this 'reason we have.
