Rowan "Atrazine has given us excellent weed control on our 140 acres of corn. We combined a bumper crop, averaging 135-140 bus. to the acre", Mr. Reimer reports. "We applied Atrazine when the corn was 4" to 5" high, because we like to hit the weeds that are already up. The trouble is the weeds come up so fast. We thought we were in for trouble. But Atrazine knocked them out in short order." "I used to go through the corn two or three times with the cultivator, but my time is too precious putting on Nitrogen, to have to worry about cultivating— especially when Atrazine does the job better." Although I plant tomatoes on some fields, follow- ing corn, by working up the soil well, I have never had any trouble with residues." I certainly wouldn't want to go back to growing corn without Atrazine." Use the one herbicide that keeps corn clean through to harvest.

Report from Queen's Park The past week was a very busy week in the Ontario Legis- lature as many of the import- ant pieces of Legislation were brought before the House. Thirty-seven amendments to the Municipal Act were intro- duced for first reading. One amendment would permit a township to supervice police villages. At present there are more than 150 police villages in Ontario. Another amend- ment would give municipalities the right to control store closing hours, a right for which some communities have battled to the Supreme Court of Canada. Most of the amendments are designed to encourage munici- palities to think in terms of regional government. Another interesting point is that all assessors will now be licensed by the Department of Municipal Affairs. SOILS AND CROPS APPOINTMENTS MADE Appointments to the Soils and Crops Branch of the Ont- ;ir?) Department of Agriculture .,::ve been announced by Ever- ett Biggs, Deputy Minister. J. Paul Fish, a graduate of both the Diploma Course and the Degree Course at the Ont- ario Agricultural College, will be stationed at the College and will be responsible for soils and crop work in the coun- ties of Huron, Perth and Water- loo.

It has been an unusual year, as we have had two flag raisings at the front of the Legislature this spring, an occasion that will seldom hap- pen again. We criticized the govern- ment for boasting of "surpluses" There are several examples of such phenomena which 'could give. Of the 326 projects shown as "requested" in the 1964-1965 Blue Book, there were still 159 of these projects not acted upon in any way as shown by the 1965-1966 Blue Book. That is approximately 49% of the requested projects over one year ago that have not yet been acted upon. The minister of education introduced an amendment to the Department of Education Act which now permits the set- ting up of a network of com- munity colleges which seem to be very satisfactory to all par- ties in the Ontario Legislature. These colleges would act as a bridge between grade 13 and University. There are six estimates still left to be dealt with, which will take approximately two to three weeks. In addition to the community college legislation, welfare amendment and pen- sion legislation was brought be- fore the house.

Speed is the mightiest killer on Canada's highways. But what is speed? It isn't necess- arily 80 or 100 miles an hour. Speed is a relative term. If the street is slippery, if traffic is heavy, if snow is falling, 25 miles an hour can be a deadly speed. The "fast" driver isn't al- ways the menace. It can be the motorist in a hurry --cutting in- to a busy traffic line, passing on curves and hills, pushing through intersections, trying all the "tricks" to get there fast and heat the other guy. The in - a -hurry driver begs for disaster, and usually gets it. aliazefh, WORK PANTS and - WORK SHIRTS THE WORK CLOTHES THAT LAUGH AT HARD WEAR • Extra Strength Extra Comfort • Reinforced Crotch Won't Rip • Extra Heavy Foot Deep Pockets • Exclusive Heavy Sanforized Drill Waist Band • Vat Dyed Color Will Not Fade • Satisfaction and Quality Guaranteed TAILORED for CASUAL and UTILITY WEAR HAYES FAMILY CLOTHING JOSEPHINE STREET PHONE 357.1700 Finger -Tip Start ...world's easiest • Exclusive clog -proof grasscatcher • Ultra -Light Magnesium construction 2 Cutting Speeds Oversize Muffler ... quietest mower of all 3 hp: engine 2 year Warranty POWERMOWER: BUY STAINTON'S HARDWARE FROM $85.00 EASY TERMS DIAL 357-3910 WINGHAM 18,200.65
