lower than the standard in
other counties, but Huron al-
ways has had a good road sys-

200 miles. We had to select 48,
and it was no easy task when
the funds are not available for
more. A lot of soul-searching

committee came up with."
Valentine .Becker, reeve of
Hay, noted that his township
was not listed.
"No consideration was given,"
Mr. Britnell explained, "to lo-
cation, but as to public need."
Reeve Becker said 21 miles of
the road between. Varna and
No. 84 had been left open.
"We admit there is a section
in there not constructed," the
engineer replied. "There is a
paved section 21 miles west,
and our traffic count is not
high. This is 21 miles of the 200

many miles that do not war-

prefer to drive on good gravel

Spray after
weeds up
The best time to use Atra-
zinc for weed control in corn
this year is after the weeds
have emerged hut before they
are over two inches high (1''z
inches for annual grasses),
according to Prof. George
Jones, field husbandry expert
at OAC, Guelph.
The unusually dry weather
calls for some minor changes
in the technique used in nor-
mal years.
Atrazine kills weeds both
through the leaves and the
roots, Prof. Jones pointed out.
Since dry conditions slow down
the movement of the herbicide
to the roots, an early post-
emergence spray, which pro-
vides immediate kill through
the leaves, is preferable in dry
period.
As soil moisture conditions
improve the Atrazine will
move into the root zone to kill
those weeds which germinate
later.
Prof, Jones suggested that
where Atrazine has already
been applied, growers should
be on the look out; for annual
weeds and grasses which are
growing actively without signs
of scorch or discoloration. If
such weeds are present, one
shallow cultivation is recom-
mended to smother, them. This
will not hurt the action of the
Atrazine in the soil.
Culti-packing in dry condi-
Lions, such as those prevailing
this year, makes good sense,
Prof. Jones added. It breaks
the I a n d, pulverizes clods,
helps in even distribution of
soil. moisture, discourages the
germination of more deeply
seated weed seeds
