Brantford Eepesitor) This army nomenclature is a bit confusing, .particularly as it 'seems to .run largely to alphabetical ablesvia- tuns. So, for the benefit of theeads who will soon be doing their tern el:l- eer the new training scheme; we re- p:oduce a few items here, with ac- companying explanations, First of all the C.O. is the Com- mending Officer. 2 i/c. stands for secorelea-comrnand. A Col. • ie..-- of course, a colonel, and a Lt.-Ool. is a lieutenant-dblonel; a Capt. a captain; a Comdt. is a commandant; a Comdr. is a commander; a Brig. is not a boat but a brigadier; a.C.Q.M.S. is a com- pany quartermasteesergeant; C.S.M., company. sergeant -major; Cpl., ; Cor- poral; Bdre bombardier. ' leefore"we forget, D.O.C. means dis- tette officer commanding, and. G.S.O., general staff officer. The A.G. is ad- jutant -general; D.A.A.. and Q.M.G., deputy assistant adjutant sail guar- termester-general. Popular chap is the. D.P:M., district paymaster.

'Tp. is not township, but troop. Sjt. is the way they cut short a sergeant in the array, but you'd better not try it any other •wayif you value your comfort. And DON'T call - him "Serge." It's a homey little term, an eneearing appellation, but he may not appreciate it. : A Lieut., naturally, is a lieutenant, pronouncee "loo -tenant" in U.Seese but "leff" in English. •Don't ask us Vey: There ar etwo kinds of lieuten- ants, militarily speaking, that is, Jun- ior is the second lieutenant, vulgarly designated ."piptequeake on acooupt f him.weering one star or "pip." 13ut don't let him hear you making such allusions. kHis senio: is a: lieuterant. Rote are called "Mr." Sp is a war- rant officer first class. ' If you go to an A.D.S. you find Yourself in -an advanced dressing sta- tion. A.R.P. may be air raid precau- tions for the civilians but in'the army it means 'ammunitionrefilling point. A.-Tk. isn't a laundry symbol, but ant -tank. An A.F.V. is an armored fighting vehicle. Arty, (islet a nick- name, but artillery. „ Sqn. is a squadron, a Coyi is a -company, and D.A.D.O.S. stands for 'deputy assistant director of ordnance Services, in case yeti care Yon won't like Detn, because It's detention and if you get a D.C.M. the degree of ac- companying pl-easure will depend up- on whether it is a Distinguished Con- duct Medal or a district court-mar- t/al. A -Pd. Arnieis a -field ambulance, •ceb.le a Fd. Bty. is a field battery. F.O. doesn't mean aisle out, but field officer. 'An I.O. is an intelligence (usually intelligent too) officer. M.P., Meinber of Parliament ab home will mean military police in camp or bar- rarks. Watch out for 'em. ' Rather important are F. R., field service regulations. H.Q. i Army for headquarters. Hrs. means hours.. H. E. may mean• either 'bigh explosive or 'horizontal equivalent. Be careful you don't •get theta mixed. •An L.A. is a light ''aUtomalic and a L.M.G. a light machine gun. Handy thing, too, is an L.G.S. wagon. mean- ing .a limbered general service cart. L. of C. are lines of comm likewise necessary in spots. You Meet to 'havean also; It's a manual 91 map reading. More im- portant is K.R, and 0., King's Rules and Orders. M.T. is the way y frequently feel but its official mean- ing is mechanical transport. M.A.C. has nothing to do with. the Highland Light _Infantry; it meats motor Am- bulance Convoy. An 0,P.; commonly called an "Oh Pip" is observation post. R/T Stands foi radio-telephoney.

MacLeod, Crops, Seeds, and Weeds Branch, leetario Department of Agriculture, Toronto. This biennial weed of European 'origin is similar in many respects to our 'cultivated car- rot. It has a deep, strong, tap root, a bristly etern, eand much divided leaVei. Milkers- of white floeree curl up when mature. Seeds .are tone- eigath of an inch long ridged and bear four rows of spines,which as- sist in their distribution., The roat has an odor similar to that of the cultivated carrot. This is one positive. Means of identifying it, Flowers my be observed from July to October, propagation by seeds which mature from August to Novem- ber. Wild Carrot will not become, es- tablished where a short rotation of crops and thorough . eietivation is practised. It is Ione ortinterices most objectionable weeds in permanent pastures, old . meadaws, roadsides, fence lines and occasionally in poor- ly ,cultivated fields. It is of 'Vital importance that seed- ing be prevented as, thousands of seeds , may- :be produced on an aver- age plant. These may remain on the pleat until late fall and winter, when they may beacanied miles over froz- en ground and in di:Meg snow, there- by Westing new areas. Birds, live- stock, water and man also are re- sponsible for the. clistributiton of seed. The following methods of eradication are suggested; 1. Sow clean clover and grass seed. 2. Pull or seed out scattered plants; rogue the clover and' grass seed crop; cut badly „infested fields early for hay. • Mr. B, W.

Lasebrook of Rodney, last year Warden of Elgin County, and bis 3. Break up infested meadows and pastures.. and practise thorough culti- vation and a short rotation of crops. 4. Mow meadows and pasture fields when plan-ts are in the early bloom stage. A second or third mowing may be necessary in order to pre- vent seeding. If plants are too fai• advanced, rake up and burn. , 5. Pasture infested area closely with sheep. 6. Start early after harvest culti- • vation immediately after the crop has been removed anebultivate until late fall. 7. Spray with a chemical weed kill- er. Cutting of wiid carrot has prov- en to bea discouraging and costly operation. A 100 per cent eradication is possible by the use of chemicals, at costs less than that which weed bp spent for cutting with the Added advantage of , affecting a co•melete The value of many pasture 'fields and farms 'has been lowered consid- erably due to the prevalence of :Wild Carrot. s t‘ qd4t91, ofhe Redeker S....
