THE WEED QUESTION,, To the Editor,—With the approach of the season when weeds demand our attention inorderto prevent then' seeding, we wish to bring to the at- tention ofallinterested several var- ieties not in the list of designated noxious weeds. Meadow Buttercup of Crowfoot is one of these, growing about 1 to 2 sit. high with a yellow flower, and found principally in pasture lands, along water streams and i11 waste places. This weed is of such a nat- ure that when eaten by animals it causes blister of the month and ton- gue, and having once tasted it will not feed near it again, and thus where allowed to spread renders large areas unfit for pasture'. Being in flower at the present time it should he cut without delay as it spreads tram seeding rather than by rootlets. Good drainage and cultiva- tiolt is the best means of suppresion. Lands that cannot be cultivated should be gone over and closely cut in thine and again at the end of July. this done for two or three years will usually suppress it. Another weed making its appearance and spreading in, our Township is the -Orange: Hawkweed or Devil's Paint Brush, producing a bright red flower with one or more on each stem which is 6 to 10 inches in height :with a ros- ette at the base lying flat on the ground, With roots near the surface it is not difficult to destroy by culti- vation, but in pasture and hay lands, and spreading by both seeds and creeping ,stems its soon overruns con sidereele areas displacing and ruin- ing both meadow's and oas'ture. -Salt applied et the rate of 1'5' to 20 tbs. to a square rod in hot dry weather has proved a s'atislactory remedy in pre - MANLEY.

Hill tops and curves are blind spots on the highway. You can't see what is coming toward you ... and there's almost always sure to be another car coming around the curve or over the hill. The one safe rule is to stay on your side of the road .. the right side. Every time you take a chance that the road ahead may be clear, you jeopardize your own safety and the approaching motorist may be made an innocent victim of your carelessness .. , surely a heavy price to pay in conscience and cash. After all you can observe the «Hill and Curve rule" for a whole season without losing. as much as sixty minutes' time all told .. . Why not? ONTARIO DEPARTMENT of HIGHWAYS GEO. S.
