RAGWEED Which of the many weeds in On tario is the worst? Ask any hay fever sufferer at this time of year and he will sneeze a vin dictive reply "Ragweed.” Ragweed, being an annual, depends entirely on its seed for survival from year to year, so that every time you destroy a plant you are killing not one or two hundred but in some cases 5,000 seeds, and as these seeds may remain in the soil several years with out injury to the germ, it can be seen that to control Ragweed effectively every plant must be killed. It is not only a bane to hay fever sufferers, but causes plenty of grief to the far-, mer, The stem of Common Ragweed is from one to three feet high, much branched, and slightly hairy. The leaves are almost as finely divided as some species of ferns. The spike-Iik'e flower heads are very numerous and from one to six inches long. The flowers are yellow in colour and pro duce an abundance of pollen. Pollen grains are produced abundantly from 'the lattes* part, of July until autumn frosts kilt the plants. These particles of pollen, light in weight, may be car ried long distances by the slightest breeze arid inhaled by those suscept ible to hay fever causes much discom fort Because Ragweed is not very ap parent in the growing $rop( the dam age that it does is frequently under estimated. It takes a good deal of plant food from the grotmd thus rob- totkat4/oa "TAe 4joy PAYS Potk... AND THE HOG PAYS WELL! Properly fed, 350 lbs. of grain makes 100 lbs. of pork. Rail-grade prices are based on dressed weight... so welljed hogs when Rail-Graded, pay the highest prices for their feed. But "welljed” does not mean over Jed. Good feeding calls for a balanced ration of grains and proteins. Grain, by itself, is not sufficient to develop and bring your hogs to market requirements economically. Proteins of animal origin, such as ' skim milk and tankage, are of equal importance. Proteins promote growth and save grain. * This representative Feeding Trial, with three lots of 21 pigs each, shows how grain may be saved and cost of production lowered by feeding protein supplement: Lot 1 Grain & Protein Supple ment "A” Lot 2 Grain &. .

It also crowds out and prevents a perfect stand of fodder crops which have been seeded with the grains.. Its presence in pasture areas is claimed to cause unpleasant odors to the milk of cows which eat it. When growing in areas which can be cultivated, hand pulling, mowing to prevent seeding and after harvest cultivation are recommended. When found in areas which cannot be cul tivated, hand pulling, mowing and the use of chemicals are recommended. Ragweed plants may be eradicated with no permanent injury to grass by using a 10% solution of Ammonium Sulphate. Dissolve 1 pound of the Ammonium Sulphate in 1 gallon of water and spray with a fine nozzle sprayer at a pressure of 300 to 350 pounds. Wet all plants thoroughly down to the ground, preferably just before coming into flower. This meth od is recommended for streets, curbs, fence lines, around buildings and all areas; where it is difficult to mow. Ragweed is listed as a noxious weed within the Weed Control Act which states that it must be destroyed be fore seeds mature. Won’t you do your share to aid hay fever sufferers by inspecting your property for Ragweed and report any infestation you know of to your city, town, village, county or township weed inspector?
