Watering Lawns
Wheelbarrow
Shaped Right
Consider the tri eelbarrow.
It may lac!•; the ;;race of an
airplane, tits sped or an auto-
mobile, rhe initial capacity of
a fret't ear, NIT its humble
Wheel mariLed otic the path of
what ei'. ili.iation 'w Mill have.
Like faith, the wheelbarrow
can rn'VL' mountains. A few
drops of oil can silence its loud-
est complaint. In spring it is
a thing of beauty, particularly
if it is both nc w and red. In
summer it is a challenge to hu-
man endurance. In fall it is --
sometimes -- a cornucopia. Al-
ways it is there, needing only
human companionship and co-
operation to get things done.
Best of all, it is shaped to
its purpose. When the sun is at
its height, the grade bench is
far away and human energy has
dwindled to the very heap, the
wheelbarrow waits with wel-
coming arms and encumbent
seat. No rock, no bag of lithe,
no harvest from the fertile
earth ever fitted the contours of
the wheelbarrow as well as the
wean' frame of its owner.
A regular program o: water-
ing should he carried out to
keep lawns green during the hot
summer months.
When the lawn is watered, a
thorough soaking should be giv-
en so that the water penetrates
to a depth of several inches to
encourage the development of
a deep, healthy root system.
Since sprinkling the lawn light-
ly encourages shallow rooting,
the probability of injury be-
comes greater during hot dry
weather. Shallow -rooted weeds
also benefit from light sprink-
lings.
When rainfall is lacking
homeowners should apply be-
tween 1 and 11 inches of water
each week. To estimate the
amount of water, place a pan
in the area covered by the
sprinkler; when 1 to 11 inches
have accumulated in the pan
sufficient water has been ap-
plied to the lawn.
Watering early in the morn-
ing or early evening is best
since evaporation is slower than
during mid-day. However, wa-
ter may be applied at any time
that is convenient,

POISON IVY
Weed of the Week series
ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
This weed which has caused
severe suffering and expense to
many thousands of people and
which has ruined many a vaca-
tion, is now classed among the
noxious weeds under the Ontar-
io Weed Control Act. Each
municipal council, through its '
weed inspector, is responsible
for seeing that it is destroyed.
Poison ivy may be found
growing almost anywhere in the
densely populated portions of
Ontario as well as the popular
vacation -land areas as far north
as North Bay.
Poison ivy may grow as a
thick carpet composed of many
plants only a few inches high,
or it may grow as a vine -like
creeper twining around trees or
shrubs.
To identify this pest look for
a leaf composed of 3 leaflets,
which as they mature change
from a reddish tinge to dull or
shiny dark green in color.
June Vote Shows
6&4 in Favor
The results of the recent
plebiscite on an Egg and Fowl
Marketing Plan show that 66.4
per cent of those voting favour-
ed the introduction of a market-
ing plan and the establishment
of an Egg and Fowl Marketing
Board. This is slightly more
than the two-thirds majority re-
quired to put a plan into effect.
Commenting on the vote, A.
H. K. Musgrave, president of
the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture, stated: "We interpret
the result of the voting as an
expression of confidence in the
principle of the collective mar-
keting of farm products through
producer marketing boards."
Noting that just prior to the
vote an attack had been made
against marketing boards by a
group of people who had previ-
ously promised to vote for an
Egg and Fowl Marketing Plan,
Mr. Musgrave stated: "We of
the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture are gratified and en-
couraged by this expression of
confidence in the principles in
which we believe. We are
quite prepared to admit that
marketing hoards cannot solve
all farm problems, but, until a
better system of serving the far-
mer has been discovered, we in-
tend to give them our full sup-
port. We see no merit in criti-
cism for the sake of criticiser[
alone. If and when a better
system of marketing is devised
the O.F. A. will give the new
system its whole -hearted sup-
port. In the meantime, we
wish to congratulate the Ontario
Poultry Producers' Association
and offer assurance of continued
support from the Ontario Feder-
ation of Agriculture.
Shortly after the leaves form in
the spring, clusters of small,
erect, greenish flowers develop,
where the leaves join the stem.
During the summer these flow-
ers develop fruits and when the
leaves have dropped in the fall,
the plant can easily be identi-
fied like a small peeled orange.
Some fruits may be quite hairy.
Because of it's extensive un-
derground root system just de-
stroying the tops doesn't mean
it is killed.
Use of chemical weed killers
is the best method ofcontrolling
this weed. Amitrol (Amino
Triazole) is best for a one ap-
plication treatment made when
the plant is in early stages of
growth and after the leaves
have fully developed. Brush -
killers are effective but usually
require a second clean-up ap-
plication.
ME-TOOISM IN PENSIONS
Father of many daughters
says it's more expensive to
bring up a family than it should
be because of the operation of
what he calls the First Law of
Family Peace. It seems that
when Mary gets a new dress,
Jane, Susan and Eloise all have
to have one too. And so itgoes
Observers of the political
scene can expect to hear the
same 'me too" chorus when the
parliamentary committee on
pensions begins to hear briefs.
They are the most expensive
words in the language accord-

Drive Like an Old Pro Keep Out of Trouble
The "professional" motor
vehicle pilots, that group of
men who drive Motor transports
for a living are, as a class, the
most careful and competent
drivers, with the lowest acci-
dent frequency of any group on
Canadian and American high-
ways.
W, S, Chalmers, manager,
Members' Service of the Domi-
nion Automobile Association
paid tribute to the "Old Pros" in
a recent address before a meet-
ing of his colleagues.
There was a time, long ago,
when a degree of resentment
against the "road hog" tenden-
cy of the big wagons existed,
but that has disappeared and
the transport driver can now be
counted on to he the most con-
siderate, the first to offer aid
to a motorist stranded or in
trouble.
The "Old Pro" is a "defen-
sive" driver. He recognizes in
advance the pattern on the
highway ahead of him, assesses
any hazards and then takespre-
ventive action if such is called
for. He has learned from hun-
dreds of thousands of miles of
experience behind the wheel,
that the hest way to avoid im-
plication in a highway crash is
to act before it happens. Ile
doesn't take anything for grant-
ed, he treats every other dri-
ver as a potential accident -
maker who needs wary watch-
ing for inexplicable lapses
from driving commonsense
which afflict us all from time
to time.
The "Old Pro", with few ex-
ceptions, contrary to the old
axiom that "familiarity breeds
contempt" is just as careful he -
hind the wheel of his own little
vehicle as when he is guiding
and controlling the multi -
