are favourable for the growing of fruits and vegetables the principal fruits canned in ontario are apples pears plums peaches cherries cur rants gooseberries blueberries raspberries and strawberries in ad dition british columbia has the apricot and the loganberry the vegetables canned include tomatoes peas corn beans beats carrots pumpkin squash spinach and as paragus the canning season begins in june and continues through the summer and autumn until october being at its height in july august and september a development of the last few years of great importance and pos sibilities is home

weed seeds bo gathered up im mediately after the mill has left and that they be burned buried deeply cr well rotted outdoor threshing is now a com mon practice throughout the prov ince much can be said in its favor however if a field which is badly in- fested with sow thistle or canada thistle is threshed from the slcok on a windy day enough seeds will be carried for miles to infest an entire community the threshing machine has been one of the agencies responsible for our present weed problem if the machine is not well cleaned after threshing and before moving weed seeds may be carried from one farm to another and be distributed along roadways and lanes some thresh ers have always taken pride in their work and cleaned their outfits be fore moving others have never done so weed seeds are shaken or blown oflf such mills when moving and roadsides fence lines and fields become polluted legislation has recently been in cluded in the weed control act which makes it necessary for every threshing machine and all equip ment used in connection therewith to be thoroughly cleaned before moving from farm to farm or before travelling upon a public roadway the fact that one wild mustard seel will produce a plant and that an average plant will mature 15000 seeds is a clear indication of the importance of thoroughly cleaning the mill before moving this oper ation will take only a few minutes and will save many dollars and much hard work dozens of far mers can trace the presence of cer tain weeds on their farms to the threshing machine this source of infestation need not exist any
