Editor, Huron Expositor.
Dear Sir: I would like to draw
the attention of your readers to the
;saw 'thistle menace which is especial-
ly -prevalent at this time of year.
Sow _Thistle with its creeping 'root
stalks -'and thousands df seeds equip-
ped so that they are blown distances
by the winds- is the world's worst
weed. Sow Thistle is found in every
county and district in Ontario, in
fact, in almost every township. This
weed knowrt as the Yellow Peril is . a
real 'menace tto the agricultural in-
dustry of •On ario. For years farm-
ers generally did not know the weed
Sow Thistle, did not •know its life
history and habit of growth, and
therefore, did rat ealize its imnport-•
time until it 'had One well estab-
lished. 1'
'Sow Thistle is 'perennial in rrature.
It spreads rapidly 'by roots and the
seeds are carried long distances by
the wind. The stems are from 1 to
5 feet in height, with few leaves and
filled with a bitter, 'milky juice. The
flowers are (bright yellow about 1'4
inches across and are found closed
in bright etrnlvght.
Hay fields known to be infested
with 'Sow Thistle should be cut on
the greenside and plowed immediate-
ly after the hay has been removed.
If the weether is hot and dry, allow
the Plowed land to dry out for two
weeks then cultivate thoroughly as a
summer fallow and sow fall wheat, or
plow again in the fall and sow barley
or minted grain the following spring.
'Such crops as sweet clover and late
sown 'buckwheat are excellent for
controlling this weed. A bare vim -
mer fallow is also excellent for con-
trolling all kinds of weeds. Early
summer plowing and the baking or
drying process in the hot dry wea-
ther after plowing destroys' many of
the roots and where this system is
consistently followed in the rotation,
Sow Thistle can be kept under control.
Many farmers have found early oats
to be preferable to late oats for con-
troIlin•g Sow Thistle.
Due td the sprc]ing habits of Sow
!Thistle, this weed is classified as
noxious tinder the Ontario Weed Con -
teal Act which states that all nox-
ious weeds under the Act insist be cut
downand destroyed. Weed Inspec-
tors arc vigorously enforcing the,
Weed Act as far as Sow Thistle is
concerned and are doing everything
passible to protect the clean farms
against ;the inroads of the world's
worst u' d.

MEETINGS ARE',..
WELL ATT NtMD
Hensall, the first three days of the
week, was the mecca for politically
inclined of the riding. There was a
meeting and speakers to suit every
one, io matter what views were held.
On !Monday afternoon , the Liberals
'held their convention- and ' and :ndintititted
W. H. Golding, as candidate., ' On
Tuesday the 'Conservatives assern-
bled and chose 'Warden L. $•il, Rader
to contest the riding in their inter-
ests. And •on 'Wednesday the'.Pro-
gressives, gathered and 'elected Wil-
liam Black as their representat(,ve in
the coming by-election.
W. H. Golding Chosen.
William Golding, teaforth, was
Monday afternoon chosen by South
Hiuron Liberals as their candidate for
the federal seat made vacant by the
death of Thomas 'McMillan.
Mr. Golding .on June 1st was select-
ed by the Riding Association as its
candidate for the Legislature, but the
Liberals chose to honor him again,
and in convention in the Town Hall
at Hensall, selected him from a field
of five as their federal candidate. Mr.
•Gelding• will retireimmediately from
the provincial arena.
The convention was tinged with a
note of sadness. . For the first time
in .many years Thomas McMillan was.
not 'present at a Liberal--- onvention.
A sincere 'tribute 'of aflame 'was -paid-
to Mr. MoMdllan, when -The gathering
of more than 300 people stood for a
mon7,.eJnt.to honor his name.
The 'Hon. J. C. Elliott, K.C.,
and Fred Sanderson, M.P. for South
Perth, and:- chief -Liberal whip for
Ontario, were the main speakers of
the afternoon, but each spoke only
'briefly because of the time taken by
nomination proceedings. Ten names
were placed before the convention,
and five of these went to !the ballot.
Four ballots were taken 'before Mr.
Golding had a' majority.
Mr. Sanderson made reference to
the snub given Canadian agriculture
on Saturday, when Premier Bennett
refused to speak to a deputation' of
2,000 farmers at Ottawa. The citizens
of Canada have a right to go to Ot-
tawa to lay their grievances before
the Prime Minister, he said.
"The farmers simply wanted to say
to Mr. Bennett: 'Don't overlook the
great basic industry of agriculture.
Give us markets.' Mr. Bennett was
too .busy tosee them. If Mr. Ben-
nett would work less and think more
he would make a better premier,"
said Mr. Sanderson.
.Mr: Sanderson suggested that per-
haps the Premier was afraid the
farmers went going to ask him when
he''was going to make good on his
promise to• rind them markets by
'blasting.
Mr. Elliott, in his opening remarks,
said that the South Huron electors
in the coming by-election would be
asked to confirm or revise their 'Ver-
dict in 1930, to the effect that Con-
servative tariff policies are no good
for the Canadian farmer.
'The convention had no easy; task.
There was a plethora of available
candidates, all of whom were special-
ly fitted in some way for the task be-
fore the candidate. Dr. J. W. Shaw,
Clinton, president of the 'South Huron
Liberal Association, was in the chair,
and after the tribute was pard to Mr.
MMcMillan's memory, he called for
i ti
nom ria ons.
The following were nominated in
the order named: Mr. Golding, Keith
MoLean, Seaforth; Dr. R. R. Ross,
Seaforth; J. W. Beattie, McKillop
Township and Seaforth; Reeve Owen
Geiger, Hensall; William M. Doig,
Kippen; Dr. J. W. Shaw, Clinton;J.
G. Stanbury, Exeter; John Scott, Sea -
forth, and B. W. F. Beavers, Exeter:
AN named spoke briefly and Messrs.
Golding, McLean, Beattie, Geiger and
'Scott stayed in the field.
On. the fourth ballot Mr. Golding
was declared elected, and he received
-r+ofising cheers from the convention.
In a 'brief speech of acceptance, he
urged those who had rallied 'arolnd
Mr. MciMillan to come to the sae of
Liberalism to -day. Organization
work should be started immediately.
"I am in the fight now and every
ounce of energy I , have is at your
disposal. T am your candidate and
I ask your support," said Mr. Gold-
ing.
'Mr. Golding:, the candidate, is an
ex -mayor of 'Seaforth, and for many
years has been prominent in munici-
pal life. •For six Years, ending in De-
cember last, he was mayor of Sea -
forth. He has served on various civ-
ic bodies, and has never met defeat.
He is foreman at the `Bell Foundry
in Seaforth, and is one of the 'best-
known -and most, popular Then in South
