At the present time the Depart ment is exercised Over the alarming spread this year of two pasture weeds, King Devil and Orange Hawkweed which ar found on road sides, old meadows and particular- i ly on rough permanent pasture ■ where cultivation is difficult. Both | are vigorous growing perennial 1 weeds with shallow rooted creep ing rootstocks. Leaves of both 'plants are for the most part, attached to the crown and not to the stems. Leaves and stems are extremely hairy and- fill ed with a bitter milky juice which live stock do not relish. Orange Hawkweed grows one to two feet high and has fiery orange- red blossoms grouped in clusters. King Devil may grow three feet high and has a yellow blossom simi lar to Perennial Sow Thistle, but is only half the size. The seeds of the Hawkweed are light and may be carried long distances by the wind. The best method of controlling Hawkweed and other pasture weeds is to build up the soil fertility and develop' a thick sod of vigorous pasture plants. Hawkweed will not stand cultivation. Therefore pasture fields should be broken if possible and after tilized, sown to a ture mixture. Pastures should spring or fall and frequently to prevent weeds from maturing seed. Chemicals can be used to eradicate Hawkweed at a cost of $2 to $3 per acre. Write the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto, for pamphlet on eradication of cals and O.A.O. They are free to only.

Rubber will age in time but its life can be prolonged by proper .use when active, and proper protection when inactive. 3. All rubber tires, except the solid type, depend upon correct ail’ pressure for their strength to carry the load and for their long wearing qualities. Check each tire for cor rect pressure at least twice every week when in use. 4. Low air pressure causes crack ing of the side walls and breaks the fabric. Keep tires slightly above the average recommended pressure for longest wear and trouble-free life. 5. Check the alignment of all wheels with rubber tires at frequent intervals.
