Cass. The new amendment will pro- hibit hanging of any object ob- structing a driver's view. The 'existing prohibition against plast- ering windshields with stickers is to be maintained. Other amendments have been in- troduced to reinforce the safety provisions of the Highway Traffic Act. One will compel use of head- light low beams at night when 200 feet behind another car. Penalties for overloading are also increased: the minimum fine for the first of- fence will be raised from $10 to $50, and for further offences after a second conviction from $50 to a new maximum of. $200.

Seeds—So Don't Sow More Maybe it's sounding a new note to suggest that killing or control- ling weeds can be unprofitable. Nevertheless, the time has arrived when we can no longer afford to kill weeds just for the satisfac- tion of it. We must control them for a specific desirable result, and, in the main, that result must be bigger and better crops, says the Field Crops Branch of the Ontar- io Department of Agriculture. Otherwise, the weed control be- comes an unprofitable expense. The main reason weeds cause reduced crop returns is the com- petition they give the crop for sp- ace, sunlight, moisture, and plant nutrients, The effect of this com- petition is greatest when crop plants are small. In the crops of wheat, oats, and barley, competi- tion occurs when the cropplants are in the four -to -six -leaf stage. Therefore, to be most profitable, weed populations should be elimin- ated at that time. In the case of corn, the damage caused by weeds is most pronounced at tasseling tage. This illustrates particularly the importance of eliminating weeds before they've done the damage to the crop they're sharing the field with. Primarily, control st- arts with weed -free seed. Weed - free seed is basic to cleanfarming, and without it all other forms of weed control are wholly inade- quate. Weed seeds planted with the crop on a well-prepared, well - fertilized seed bed germinate on the instalment plan -- some this year, some next year—so that no matter what post -seeding treat- ment is followed, this one mis- deed will haunt the careless sow- er for many years.

He was the guest speaker at a "get ac- quainted" rally held by the Huron. Liberals, with their candidate, Harry G. Strang, RR 2, Hensall. Mr, Strang stated that he was "not overcome with enthusiasm by the crowd". (There were only 17 including four members of the press, the candidate, speaker, their wives and three members of the executive of the association). How- ever, Mr. Strang stated that with seeding time in full swing he did not blame the farmers for not coming out. Mr. Strang, an Usborne Town- ship farmer and graduate of OAC in 1936, who married a graduate of MacDonald Institute, Guelph, and whose eldest daughter is now attending that college, is quite familiar with the problems of the farmer. He was the first president of the Huron Soil and Crop Im- provement Association, and was president of the Ontario Associa- tion in 1958. Also wise in muni- cipal affairs, he has been clerk of his township since 1947 and as- sessor since 1949, E. B. Menzies, Clinton, presi- dent of the county Liberals, con- vened the meeting and introduced the guest speaker. Mr. Holling- worth urged those present to work tremendously hard, for he could see that for the first time in 16-20 years, they had a good . chance to. win. "The same situation exists in Ontario provincially," said Mr. Hollingworth, "as did federally in 1957. The Ontario government is becoming increasingly complacent and arrogant". He predicted there would be a groundswell of feeling against the Progressive Conserv- atives in Ontario fairly soon, and the Liberal party should be ready to capitalize upon this. The Toronto speaker said the day of the "little red schoolhouse" was past, and the people of On- tario would have to produce more and better schools. He quoted figures stating that the burden of education was too much upon the municipalities: 17% paid by the province and 83% paid by the municipality. Mr. Hollingworth claimed that education financing was being handled very ineffect- ually and the burden should be shifted off the shoulders of prop- erty owners. Mentioning the proposed hospi- tal school for mentally retarded children near Goderich, Mr. Hol- lingworth stated: "this is a perfect - example of the policy of the pro- vincial government. It is a carrot waved in front of the voter, with- drawn at the psychological time, to be waved again just before the next election." Mr. Strang spoke of his friend- ship for Charles MacNaughton, the Progressive Conservative can- didate in the coming election, and stated that both had decided not to use anything in election cam- paigning which would be person- ally derogatory. "But it will be a knock -down, drag 'em out fight," predicted Mr. Strang. "Apparently," said the Liberal candidate, "the government does not feel that its record is good enough in Huron, and so they re- cently came out with a new hatch of promises. I believe we can wiz in Huron this time, and as soon as the seeding is over, we will begin actively campaigning."
