COMBAT WEED SEEDS
ON CANADIAN FARMS
'The greatest difficulty hi maintain-
ing suceess•rul farming, and ,partioular-
ly in producing a more abundant sup-
ply of clean forage and grain seed, k
the prevalence of weeds. New weed:
are introduced on farms with imper-
feetly cleaned cereal, clover, and oth-
er commercial seeds, and with com-
mercial feeding stuffs which often
contain vital weed seeds. These seeds
are spread front district to district
through th'e various transportation fa-
cilities, are dissemivated within a lo-
cality in stable manure from towns
and cities, and are .distributed from
farm to farm through threshing ma-
chines, and from field to ,field by farm
implements, The wind carries weed
seeds long distances; streams dis-
perse them along their courses and
herbivorous 'animals and seed -feeding
birds help to swell the evil hroadcast,
fl1 is important to consider not only
the large intuther of weeds sawn with
improperly cleaned grain hut also
those already tu farm soils. 'Some of
the worst weeds in Canada are so 'pro-
lific in the production of seeds that
relatively clean fields may become
badly contaminated in two or three
year: if these weed seeds are allowed
to go to seed. For example, a single
plant of wild mustard, stinkweed, fo-
tail, or campion produces
from 10.10100 to '20,100(1 seeds, worm-
seed mustard about 22000, shepherd's
purse about 310,000, and tumbling- mus-
tard about IMMO, With such pro-
ductiveness, soils ,become 'quickly in-
fested with weed seeds, although the
presence of the seeds is not fully real-
ized at the moment, owing to their in-
conspicuousness. Only a careful ex-
amination will reveal their kinds and
numbers, and with this abject in view
the Seed Branch of the .Do,minion De -
nutmeat of ,Agriculture gathered in-
formation un the prevalence of weed
seeds in farm lands. Parts of this work
Rocky Mountain Holicays
fhe busiest tourist season in
years is in store for the Cana-
dian Rockies. Banff Springs Hotel
and Chateau Lake Louise, recent-
ly opened for the year, are enjoy-
ing mid-season popularity, while
increasing numbers of visitors are
planning holidays at the beauti-
ful chalet -bungalow camps at
Moraine Lake, Lake O'Hara, Lake
Wapta, Yolio Valley, and Radium
Hot Spring's.
Attractions such as golf on the
sporty championship course at
Banff, riding and hiking over
spectacular mountain trails, ten-
nis on splendid courts, boating on
glacial lakes, and other sports
under ideal conditions make the
Canadian Rockies Canada's lead-
ing summer playground. Add to
this scenery unexcelled in the
world, excellent fishing, and end-
less opportunities for camera
hunting of big game and the re-
sult is Banff, Lake Louise, or any
of half a dozen Canadian Pacific
bungalow camps set In valleys or
by lakes of outstanding beauty.

portant factor in reducing feed costs.
The chief advantages of such a prac-
tice are: (119 Maintaining and improv-
ing soil fertility, thus increasing
yields; (2) Assisting in ween controi;
(3) Assisting in the control of insect
and crop diseases by having various
crops on fresh soil each year; and it
makes a more even distributionof la-
bor throughout the year possible. In
creasing the yield per acre is one of
the best ways of reducing cost of pro-
duction. and in thisrespect crop rota-
tion playS a real part.
