What a difference a few dry
claw can make at harvest 'time!
When I was writing this col-
umn 'about September 10, the
prospects for harvest were
most discouraging. Now after
a few days' of good harvest
weather, 'the picture has chang-
ed for the better.
A good many have alreadY
finished and the rest of us
have hopes. Surprisingly even
the grain that went down early
is giving fair returns of a little
lower quality where many ex-
pected only chaff, Any grain
that stood up even a little is
giving excellent returns. I hope
that' we continue to have fav-
ourable weather until all of us
can get 'the harvest out of the
way. At best it will leave little
time for fall cultivation.
In preparation for the an-
nual meeting of the Ontario
Hog Producers Co-operative to
be held! on September 14, the
representatives of the hog or-
ganizations in Huron and Mid-
dlesex met at Lucan.
As mentioned in a previous
article the main question to be
settled at the annual meeting
is to be whether or not the
co-operative is te contiritideto
exist. Presently the Hog Pro-
ducers Marketing Board is in
charge of the sale of hogs in
Ontario. However art the time
the marketing board was est-
ablished it was considered illeg-
al for a marketing 'board to do
the 'actual selling. It was then
necessary for the marketing
board to set up the Co-op to
do the selling.
The Co-op hired 'the person-
nel of the marketing agency to
do the job,
Now there has been a change
in the interpretation of the law
so that the marketing board
could hire the agency to do the
selling, thus eliminating the
Co-op.
At the meeting in Lucan we
were told that there would be
no saving in 'expenses. It would
simply mean that the board
would have more work to do
with an increased number on
the board 'to do the work.
It would relieve some of the
confusion in 'the minds' of pro-
ducers, as to the mechanics of
their organization.
And perhaps the most sig-
nificant` point brought out was
the statement that it would be
pleasing to the Farm Products
Marketing Board to do •this
since they recommended' it at
the time that change in method
of sale was demanded, At this
time one government official
was 'reported to have said that
the "Co-op would have to go."
If this is done the market-
ing board will have 11 mem-
bers; One from each zone plus
three at large, elections to
take place at the annual meet-
ing.

The Chickweeds are natives
of Europe ,and 'have spread
nearly every part of Ontario,
gays J. D. Curtis of the field
eroPS branch, Ontario Depart-
ment of ,agriculture. These
weeds are Most likely to be
found in lawns', pastures and
cultivated lands.
There are two main types of
which there are a number of
species fauna 'throughout On-
tario. The first variety, or Celli-
mon Chickweed, is identified
by its single line of 'hairs down
one side of the stem and on
the leaf stalks. It is an annual
or winter Annual which blooms
throughout the growing seas-
on. Leaves are variable in size,
opposite, broadly oval and
pointed, the lower leaves stalk,
ed and the upper sessile. The
flowers are white, consisting of
eive petals which are shorter
than the five sepals.
The species grarninea (grass-
leaved stitehwort) has square
stems, narrow and stalkless
leaves, petals longer than the
leaves and the elongated wavy
protuberances' on the seedy per-
mit easy distinction from the
common chickweed.
Cerastium vulgatum (mouse-
ear chickweed) is easily ident-
ified 'by its hairy stalkless;
leaves, small white flowers and
by its prostrate habit of grow-
th.
A closely related variety,
Cerastium arvense '(field chick-
weed) is found throughout On-
tario in meadows, pastures and
other habitats. It is a perennial
and like mouse-ear chickweed,
forms patches but 'is easily dis-
tinguished from this species by
virtue of showy flowers that
have petals two or three times
as long as 'the sepals and by
its narrower leaves.
Control of these weeds is rel-
atively easy but repeated sp-
rayings may be necessary. Sil-
vex at Fe pound of active mat-
erial in 30 gallons of water
per acre or ee ounce in five
gallons of water to 2,300 squ-
are feet applied when chick-
weed is actively 'growing in late
fall or early spring gives good
control. Silvex should not be
used on bentgrass turf.
