The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1928-06-07, Page 3I > A An Appeal to all■ Civic Officials ♦ Millions of dollars damage to Ontario’s crops are caused by weeds. The Weed Control Act seeks to control this menace. Municipal councils and officers have important responsibilities in carrying out this act. Weeds on highways must be de- strpyed by the “Road Authority.” Weeds else­ where must be destroyed by the owner or occu- • pier of the land. An Inspector shall be appointed 11 by each municipal council to see that these terms I; are complied with. >■' Most civic bodies are energetically discharging this obliga- ; tion and when action is not being taken, residents should ■i communicate with the members of their municipal council. ®' • Every precaution is needed to wipe out the weed menace. Clean seed plus weed destruction at the proper time to , • prevent spread of weed seed's will bring your district greater profits from clean successful crops.
