The following "Dry Cleaning‘" method has proven effective on hundreds of farms throughout the province particularly on heavy clay soils. Start to plow infested fields immediately after the crop has been removed. This newly ploughâ€" ed land should not be touched for a week or more depending on weathâ€" er conditions. It will be roughly set up with large clods, lumps and holes. Surface soil and subsoil will be separated. Moisture will be cut off and rootstocks will be dried out and killed; hot dry weather will inâ€" sure a more satisfactory job. Many Municipal Councils throughout the Province where Perennial Sow Thistle is confined to patches have developed a policy of supplying ratepayers with a quanâ€" tity of chemical weed killer for its eradication. This plan has much to commend it and should receive the consideration of every Municiâ€" pal Council. The individual who has no Perennial Sow Thistle on his property should be just as inâ€" terested in its eradication ias the one who has difficulty in controlâ€" ling it . Coâ€"operation is essential in controlling this menace to Ontario Agriculture, Mr. MacLeod states. with a view to obtaining a crop and at the same time prevent seedâ€" ing, roguing, mowing of patches before seeds miature, working of patches separately, eradication of patches by the use of chemicals, smothering of patches with manâ€" ure, straw or tar paper, care in the use of such implements ias the disc harrow which may cut rootâ€" stocks into short pieces each of which may produce new plants; clovers, pasturing summer fallowâ€" ing, the use of fall wheat and fall rye; after harvest cultivating and careful threshing with a view to controlling the spread of Sow Thistle seed on to neighbouring farms. Briefly the following control measures should be kept in mind when combatting this weed. Drainâ€" age, the use of clean seed, mainâ€" tenance of soil fertility, thorough cultivation and early seeding, a short rotation, the use of early maâ€" turing viarieties of grain, smother crops, particularly buckwheat, hoed crops, hay and pasture mixtures are five days old miay develop viâ€" able seed, therefore, standing crops containing Sow Thistle should be cut just Aas soon as the first few flowers appear.. Destroy all plants Cherâ€"mite Seen"im essm "tfron 3 to 5 days. Perennial Sow Thistle can be controlled. The first essential is to prevent seeding, as a few patches if allowed to mature, may seed down a whole neighbourhood. Each seed of Sow Thistle bears a conâ€" spicuous tuft of white milky hair which when dry acts as a paraâ€" chute and makes it possible for the seed to be spread far iand wide by the wind. An average plant may produce several thousand seeds and. every precaution should be takenl to prevent seeding. Blossoms which The perennial thistle is taller and more slender than the annual. It has numerous underground running rootstocks, while the annuals have only tap roots. The leaves of the Perennial iare deeply cut with segâ€" ments pointing backwards a n d flowers are a deep yellow in colour and an inch and a half across, while those of the annuals are a pale yellow and less than an inch in diameter. Flower cups and flowâ€" er stems of the Perennial are covâ€" ered with short glandular bristles while those of the annuals are‘ nearly smooth. The Perennial Sow Thistle is a tall, coarse growing, deep rooted weed â€"with large and vigorous running rootstocks. Once it estaâ€" ‘blishes itself in a field these underâ€" ground rootstocks spread in every direction and send up new plants from buds which appear every few inches along the stock and soon chokes out cultivated crops. Three species of Sow Thistle iare common in Ontario. The Perennial is the worst and it has two comâ€" paratively harmless cousins, the Common Annual and the Spiny Anâ€" nual, Says John D. MacLeod, Ont. Department of Agriculture, Toronâ€" to. Excessive moisture this year has been a contributing factor responsiâ€" ble for a marked increase in Perâ€" ennial Sow Thistle: This weed spreads rapidly in â€" heavy ‘Gamp soils, particularly where drainage is poor and has become such a pest it is known as "Public Enemy No. 1" among farmers. THE WEED OF THE WEEK Perennial Sow T histle The trip across the Atlantic was uneventful, if long. [The water journey was made via Greenland and the Labrador coast. Mrs. Dean ‘believes Canadian and the United States authoritiee should make every effort immediately to supâ€" press fifth column activities which she has seen ,even at work among the unfortunate evacuees. Mrs. Dean, with her faith in the British Navy and Royal Air Force, whose superiority she has seen demonstrated, is sure France will soon be reâ€"established. For the R.A.F. men she had high praise. "Often from my kitchen window, last winter, I witnessed aerial comâ€" bats and always the Allied planes would come out best. Germany, judging by those fliers whom France has captured, is using very young fliers, many of whom have had little training, and these lack the daring, courage and initiative of our men‘", Mrs. Dean said. "Alâ€" ways when the German fliers see an Allied plane coming towards them they bolt for a cloud or out to sea.‘" While in Liverpool Mrs. Dean saw two bombers that were brought down when they became entangled with balloon barrages. Mr. Dean later crossed from France to England. He caught the last boat at St. Malo that was carrying British civilians home. He expects to arrive in Canada during the month of August. Of the future Mrs. Dean is most opomusciv:~â€"rne wrenxcen people 4re not defeated," she says, "they have been betrayed by fifth columnists and weak leaders, of whom Leon Blum and Marshall Petain are the worst. Had the people of France one thing to fight with there would be revolution against the Petain Government tomorrow," she thinks. Mrs. Dean is confident the masses of the French people are glad and satisfied that their navy is now in British hands. "The only reason there was a seeming resistance at Oran," she says, ‘"is because the French sailors were warned by radio, by the German ‘authorities, that their families back home would pay with their lives for every ship the British gained. This I heard with my own ears and I know it is true.‘"‘ Mrs. Dean is earnest in her defense of the French people. ‘"They put up a grand fight with what they had to fight with against overwhelming odds and it was only the lack of the necessities of war at the crucial moment that caused them to give in." Up to the time Leopold gave in, Mrs. Dean says, the French were most courteous to the Belgium reâ€" fugees and tendered them every kindness possible. Then of course thousands of French people became refugees also and the situation, and refugees, became desperate and there was fighting among the fleeâ€" ing masses in their anxiety and efâ€" forts to get food and away from the crowding enemy. a pocket in which all its citizens might be trapped.

Thus it was that with but one suitcase of clothes for herself, some others for her children, some cases of silverware and other perâ€" sonal belongings, she left. Mr. Dean saved only the suit he wore. Their auto, new last year, is still in France. At that moment the German troops were marching alâ€" most unhindered through Abbeville and in to Dunkirk leaving Lille a.s‘ From the four corners of the earth men and machines are pourâ€" ing into Britain.

Relative of Local T H E Aerial Combats RIMSBY INDEPENDENT INDIA, TOO, IS THERE The total shipments of the 1939 certified seed potato crop in Canâ€" ada exceeded 2,900,000 bushels. This is a record, exceeding the preâ€" vious highest total of 1937 by more than 400,000 bushels. _ Exports amounted to 2,348,000 bushels of which approximately 1,250,000 bus. went to the United States, 500,000 bushels to Cuba, and. 500,000 bus. to South America. Domestic shipâ€" ments totalled 565,000 bushels, about 100,000 bushels more than the previous highest of 1938. Seventeen carlots .were shipped from Prince Edward Island to the Prairie Provinces. Stocks of raw cattle hides held by tanners, packers, and dealers in Canada at the end of June, 1940, amounted to 650,075, of which 569,â€" 726 were of domestic origin, There were also 652,7438 calf and kip skins, 54,723 dozen sheep and lamb skins, 7894 goat and kid skins and 16,725 horse hides. Seed Potato Export Is Up During the past two years, a select number of elevator agents, who have been particularly interâ€" ested in this kind of work, have been carrying on actual tests under the direction of a small committee at Winnipeg, under the chairmianâ€" ship of Dr. Goulden of the Dominâ€" ion Rust Research Laboratory. Since 1930 it is estimated that well over 4,000,000 bushels of high quality seed have been exchanged largely through the medium of eleâ€" vator agents, and the assistance beâ€" ing rendered by the crop testing organization in connection with the appraisal of new .rust resistant varieties of wheat and oats. Interesting information on "The Crop Testing Plan" was given in the report of the National Seed Grain Committee submitted by its chairman, Dr. L. H. Newman, Doâ€" minion Cerealist, at the recent meeting of the National Advisory Committee on Agricultural Serâ€" vices.

The tidal streams of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Isâ€" land are a neverâ€"ending source of delight to the tourist. What at one moment is a tiny trickle, at the next is a body of water capable of floating large vessels and providing natural drydocking facilities. At low tide, vessels rest on the mud bottoms of the rivers. At Moncton, New Brunswick, occurs the famous ‘"tidal bore," a wall of water at times six feet in height, which adâ€" vances up the Petitcodiac River at the head of the incoming tide.

Keep the water boiling. Count the water time of sterilization from the time the water begins to ‘boil. Remove the jars at the end of the required period. Insufficiently processed foods cultivate spoilage and are sometimes poisonous, more often are unpalatable. Never take a chance. Too long cooking affects flavour and colour and makes the produce too soft. Seal jars tightly at once. Never open after sterilizaâ€"i tion. I Use pint jars for vegetables. They are easier to sterilize. Do not shorten the time of steriâ€" lization. Vegetables contain little acid and, therefore, require long sterilization to assure their keepâ€" ing. Be sure that the rubbers fit the type of jar. The wide rubbers are for spring top jars; narrow rubbers fit screw top jars. There are some 'points should be checked to make that methods are upâ€"toâ€"date. At one time all fruits were cookâ€" ed in open kettles with large quanâ€" tities of sugar to make thick, rich preserves. Vegetables were kept in strong brine with or without cookâ€" ing. These methods are excellent in some cases, but for regular use canning in glass jars or tin cans is the most satisfactory. In home canning there are four principal steps, each of which is important in obtaining best results. First, choice of product â€" no amount of care will make a good canned product unless the fruit or vegetable is fresh and in good conâ€" dition. Next, preparation and packâ€" ing are included. Then processing â€"sufficient heat must be attained to destroy all spoilage organisms. Fourthâ€"most important of iall is airâ€"tight sealing so that no further organisms may enter to cause spoilage. The canning season is well on its way with all the tempting array of foods that can be stored away for winter use.
