Mrs. Flem- ing has ben a resident of Kincardine for more than 60 years, CO-ORPERATLON IS NEEDED IN WEED CONTROL Weed control is one of the most vital agricultural problems which we have. A problem in "which 'every per- son who owns a square foot of land should be intensely interested. If weeds are neglected they will soon take possession. In every municipal- ity we have places where people are careless and weeds have been ne- glected. Fortunately, the percentage of such is very low. One neglected patch may pollute acres the following year. There is nothing so discourag- ing for a person who is making an effort to control weeds as to be living near someone who does not make an attempt to do so, The careful rate- payer demands protection and is en- titled to it. Every country in the world that has developed a worthwhile agricultural practise has weeds, and the majority have adopted legislation to control them, It has been found necessary to do likewise in this province.. Howev- er, legislation in itself will not con- trol a single weed; Any work done must be the result of definite human action, Co-operation; united effort and immediate action are necessary in pre- venting weeds from going to seed. New weeds are continually appearing and must not be permitted to increase. If your municipality is clean this is a good time to keep it clean. Weed Inspectors have been appoint- ed in every municipality in the prov- ince, and the 1935 war on weeds is under way. Every weed that is des- troyed -means thousands of weed seeds, destroyed. Enlist now and help des- troy the enemy. Co-operate by pull- ing, hoeing, spraying, cutting spud- ding out, plowing and cultivating to destroy weeds and by persuading someone else to do likewise. Weeds have no place in progressive community; prevent them from going to seed. Do your share and help pro- tect the most important industry in the province — "Agriculture." • I THE BEGINNING OF "ON TO OTTAWA" • "On -to -Ottawa" marchers covered all section of Toronto, soliciting fiend from pedistrians and parked automo- . biles for their trek to the federal cap - Cut Artery in Aria ital.
