WEED CONTROL ACT. General Observations by J. A. Carroll, in Charge Administration of Act. Taking the Province as a whole, "much more was done in 1928 to pre: vent weeds from going to seed than Improve- "ment was particularly noticeable on ighways. Efforts were not uniform, ywever, and some municipalities com- pared unfavorably with others in the enforcement of the Act. Some inter- 'esting information on the cost of Weed cutting on roads has come to our notice. One reeve states: "After cutting the weeds before going to seed for two years, the cost was reduced [last year by one-third" In another township, where weed cutting was costly when commenced seven years ago, the cost has been reduced each year and in 1928 amounted to about $5.00 a mile, The most ing obser from our experience last year is the evident demand for infor on the nature and particularly on the control of weeds. All will agree that this is a healthy sign and should be encouraged in every way possible. Our Weed Inspectors, therefore, should continue to study and for this purpose | should" be 'supplied with a copy of "Farm Weeds of Canada" by Clarke, for sale by the King's Printer De- | partment, Parliament Buildings, Ot- tawa, at a cost of $2.00 and, in addi- + 1 BL tion, bulletins: which may be secured | from all Departments of Agriculture. To ensure a more uniform applica- ton of the Act and to offer assistance to Inspectors and others interested in promoting Weed Control, the Govern- "| ment has appointed the following Dis- trict Inspectors. Eastern Ontario--Mr, John D. Me- Leod, Dunvegan, Ontario. Western Ontario--Mr. A. Smith, New Hamburg. The services of these men will be | available in an advisory way through- | out the season and requests for their istance may be sent direct to the R.

Has the Weed Inspector any re- sponsibility on highways, if he is not 'a Road Superintendent or Foreman? A. Yes. The Weed Inspector is | responsible for seeing that all weeds are cut on the highways and that noxious weeds dre cut in all other places "within the confines of the Municipality. Q. What should be done in the case of a railway property where weeds are being left too late? A. Notice should be given to a sta- tion master of the Company as direct- ed in Section 6, sub-section (1-a.) If no action is taken within one week LQ Have Weed Inspectors any re- |: | sponsibility for the enforcement of thel Harberry Act as amended 19297 A. Yes. I 10 farm ratepayers petition a township council, it is obliged to pass a by-law compelling the destruction of all Barberry var- faties covered by the Act. Weed In- s then b ible for seeing that the Provisions of the Bar- berry Act are carried out. If a peti- tion is presented to a Township, the Weed Inspector appointed should im- mediately notify tha Provincial Weed Inspector and he will be furnished with a copy of the Act and suggees- tions for its enforcement. Q. In cities and towns is it neces-|' sary to deliver a statement of the ox- Penses of we i cutting to the occupant or owner? A. No. Section 0a provides that where the person appointed as In- spector is an officer or servant of the corporation, he shall report to the Clerk the amount expended, ete., and | the Clerk shall place on Collector's roll the amount of sum so expended. Q. Who is responsible for the cut- ting of weeds on private roads? A. All weeds shall be cut by the owners of lands abutting on such roads or by the Municipality and charged against such lands. Q. Should standing crops be cut for destruction of weeds? A. This is a most: difficult question to answer, in fact, it cannot be an- swered definitely for all cases. For in- Stance, in an area where Sow Thistle is common to most of the farms it would be unwise to start cutting crops containing it. On the other hand, if a small patch is discovered in an area where this vicious weed has not ob- tained a foothold, this weed should not be permitted to go to seed. The In- spector will have to exercise judgment in the applieation wf thig provision of the Act. As pointed out last year, the Weed Act is an instrument whereby those interested in improving the weed situ- ation in Ontario may co-operate. The most progress will be made by giving advice on methods of control which are practical and by encouraging their use. It would be much more logical to advisé a man in the Spring not to sow grain on a field improperly worked than to come along when the weeds are in boweer and insist that weeds and crop be cut. It is hoped, 'therefore, that all inspectors and others interested in the control of weeds and the enforcement of this Act wil use every opportunity to assist in educating property owners and others responsible for weed control: Following are the Weed Inspectors for the County of Ontario: Rama Tp.--L.
