the tribune sioustville ont thursday august 7 1952 county weed control fight quite successful the weed situation in ontario county is showing genera improvement inspector kyerson beare of greentank told the pre last week xot only on the county roads but throughout private pro perty are the beneficial results of spraying year after year now be coming apparent we do not look for complete eradication but for reasonable control of weeds said mr beare our road spraying program began somewhat later this year than usual but in a way that may be a good thing since we can get some of the ragweed and wild carrot which would not otherwise have been killed working from 10 to 13 hours each day except saturdays when heavy traffic would interfere with the job mr beare assisted by roy memullen of canhington and fred wetheral of derryville has now covered more than twothirds of the ontario county road system their big sprayer bought in vms is old but is operating efficiently it has an s00gallon capacity the crew is using a 219 esther for weeds and a strong brush kill mix ture for the roadside shrubs this is the third successive year that brush spraying has been done although all the 230 miles of coun ty roads cannot be thus treated in any one year we have also cleaned up some very bad patches of poison ivy said mr beare and i note that there has been a small return as for the weeds the mixture we use is making a good kill some new roads are being sprayed this year but the work is limited by the budget supplied by the koads board of the county spraying expenditures are 50 per cent subsidized by the province at some points along the road all that needs to be done is a little touchup work where growth is showing after last years treat ment the seventh concession of scott township which is the much- travelled road from oxbridge to udora is being sprayed for the first time in the last five years if not longer this road is getting a thorough job done on it both for weeds and brush as to his work as county weed inspector mr beare said we find that more farmers are using their own sprayers on their own property each year the results are especially good in those fields which they intend to combine for it kills the green weed growth in the bottom of the field making it easier to combine also it takes all the mustard out of a crop in a few days mr beare will be finished his work on the roads and will turn his attention to investi gation of the complaints about weeds which are beginning to pour into his office using tact and persuasion he is usually successful in getting cooperation from the offenders often it is the larger owners government land or rail way land which cause the most trouble in the late fall mr beare will return a full report on the years work to the ontario county coun cil travel relaxed and carefree mum jj a exhibition august 18 to 23 fare and onehalf for the round trip good going saturday august 16 to saturday august 23
