Zurich Citizens News, 1959-05-06, Page 8PAGE ESGHiT ST. JOSEPH'S—DRYSDALE (AL. FRED DUCHARME, Correspondent) sons and four daughters. Mr. Overholt started his married life with his young wife, Beatrice, with only good wishes from relatives and friends, and from that have become prosperous farmers in the Drysdale district. Besides farming the deceased had a trucking business and as well was a fertilizer agent, which gave him great opportunity to meet with many people. By his popularity he had made many friends in the surrounding district, who will greatly miss his presence. The Overholts, after their mar- riage, lived at different places in the settlement for a few years. In 1929 they settled on the farm they occupied for 28 years, then moving into their present home two years ago. Mr. Overholt rested at his home until Monday morning, when the remains were taken to St. Peter's Church, St. Joseph, where Req- uiem Mass was celebrated. The re- mains were taken to rest in the family plot in the adjoining chur- ch cemetery. We offer our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family and rela- tives in their moment of trial and grief. Mr, and Mrs. Pete Jeffrey and Mrs. Ed. Corriveau motored to London on Tuesday last on a bus- iness trip. Isadore Ducharme is well on his way with the erection of his cot- tage along the lake at Ducharme's summer resort. A staff of men were at work on the cottage the past week and already much has been done. The recent rains were of great help to the spring crop and as well to the fall wheat, which had suf- fered much from the winter mon- ths and the dry spring. However, with warm weather which we can soon expect, it might yet sprout and turn out to be a fair crop, to the surprise of the farm- ers. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pfaff and Avila Ducharme, of the Blue Wat- er south, motored to Goderich on Thursday last on business. Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Duch- arme, of this neighbourhood, spent the weekend in . London visiting with relatives and friends. A few campers spent the week- end in their summer cottages along the lake, but the weather was not too favourable for them. Better luck next time. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Jeffrey, Detroit, were visitors with the former's mother and other mem- bers of the family on this highway over the weekend. The reception held in the Parish Hall on Saturday last for Mr. and Mrs. Jim Charuk was well atten- ded. Corning from Detroit, Wind- sor, Marine City and other sur- roundings a very large turnout was present to greet the newly- wed couple, and to shower them with gifts and good wishes from all who took part in the celebration. Mr. and Mrs. William Denomme, attended the wedding of their fir- st granddaughter, Rose Marie Etue, in Tecumseh, last weekend. The young bridal couple are at present vacationing at the Den- omme home, on the Bluewater highway. Mr. and. Mrs. John Denomme, Windsor, spent the weekend at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Denomme, also attending the Charuk-Ducharme wedding on Sat- urday. IVIeivin Overholt On Thursday last there passed away in St. Joseph Hosiptal, Lon- don, Mr. Melvin Overholt, in his 60th year. His passing will leave in this parish a deep wound, as he was a faithful member to his chur- ch, and popular to the community. Mr. and Mrs. Overholt were married on the ninth day of Nov- ember, 1920, by Father Rondot, their parish priest. From their union 12 children were born, two passing away at a tender age.

Mechanical methods of controll- ing quack grass are most practical, advises the Field Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agricul- ture. To be most effective it re- quires about a month of hot, dry weather, shallow plowing, or one- way discing, followed by harrow- ing or cultivation, to expose the root stalks to the drying action of sun and wind. Each time quack grass starts to show green, it is necessary to cultivate or one-way disc again to keep the root stalks from getting established. This type of operation usually means a part- ial summerfallow, starting after hay or other early harvested crop, and continuing until fall wheat seeding time. There isn't much ch- ance of killing quack by cultivat- ion before seeding spring grain or corn or after harvesting a crop of oats or corn silage in the fall. Usually spring and fall weather is too cool and showery to allow much drying out of quack grass roots. In fact, after a period of summerfallow, if the field is not to be seeded to wheat, it is better to seed some crop to crowd out ATTENTION — FAMERS DICK EGGS CREAK two LT E PAY TOP PRICES 'BRIEN'S P P Y 0 Loth j5 .re, Ph; ;ne 101 — Zurich I (Mrs- Amos Gingerieh Correspondent) Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gingerich accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Menno Steckle to Moorefield, on Sunday, to visit the latter's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Aden Mar- tin.

Oats and fall rye provide competition for quack grass and prevent serious increase of the remaining unkilled root st- alks. Chemical treatments for quack are effective, but have two disad- vantages. First, they, are costly; second, they must be used well in advance of planting a crop. Detail- ed information on the chemical treatment of quack grass is con- tained in the Ontario Department of Agriculture publication, "Guide to Chemical Weed Control," ob- tainable at the office of the agri- cultural representative. 0 SAVED FROM BURNING SHED (Seaforth News) Miss Violet Piper is recovering in Scott Memorial Hospital from severe burns suffered at her home on Side Street late Friday after - WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1959, White Bean Club To Organize The organizational meeting for the South Huron White Bean Club will be held in the Hensall Town Hall on Wednesday evening, 1VIay 13, commencing at 8.30 p.m. The project will be explahied, and necessary materials distribut- ed.
