WEST 'OSHAWA ROOFING Down through the ages man has used many types of materials to roof his dwellings, In early days he of necessity used whatever was available to repel the weather. The materials have been many and varied, such as stone, slate, straw thatch, wood, clay tile, as- phalt shingles, etc, as well as a great variety of metals, Practically all of these materials are still used in certain parts of the world, but those in general use in our own area have narrowed down to a very few. Let us examine some of the present day roofing materials con- sidering only sloping roofs and ignoring for the present flat roofs. Probably the most widely used roof covering today is asphalt slates or shingles, This roofing is a relatively recent member of the roofing family but has proved a very serviceable one, Personally we have always felt that the man- ufacturers made a mistake in try- ing to make their product look like slates or shingles. Imitations are generally looked upon as an infer- for substitute and for a long time the public regarded asphalt roof- ing in this light. We feel thatta more satisfactory product would have resulted if the manufacturers had tried to accentuate the desir- able features of his own product rather' than try to imitate others. Asphalt roofing has a very long life and can be obtained in very attractive colours, The shingles are made in various ights varying from 125 lbs. to 400 lbs. per 100 sq. ft, although government re- gulations caused the elimination war years, Wood shingles have always been a very popular roofing material. Almost all of our wood shingles come from British Columbia and are made of cedar. They come in 5x and 3x -- 16 in. long, with 5 butts measuring 2 in. in thickness; Perfections--18 in. long with 5 butts 2% in.; and Royals 24 in. with 4 butts measuring 2 in. Good cedar shingles should have a life of about 25 years, It is unfortunate that the Tor~ onto district has no good deposits of roofing slate close at hand. The heavy vari-coloured slate roofs that so beautifully crown the houses of some other districts are sadly lacking here. Some slate is still used for roofing here but most of it is very dull and uninterest- ing. The life of a slate roof, if pro- perly applied, is practically unlim- ited. Clay tile is the common roofing material in many of the Southern European countries and has been extensively in the warmer sections of the United States. Roofing tiles are obtainable in rolled type Span- ish tiles, the curved or barrel type mission tile and flat English type. An increase in the use of metal for roofing is. a likely development for the future. Tin, copper, zinc and galvanized iron have all been used extensively. Prior to the war a very light weight copper was be- ing successfully introduced but the needs of war cut off the supply of this material. There is a fine ex» ample of this type of roofing in of all but the 210 lbs. during the [= TerrACE STEPS WALKS OF FLAGSTONE & BRICK Rew ve &8r low Tom or TERRACE or. i =] It is essential that all structural features of garden planning be suggestions for terrace steps.

Weed Control In Grain, Pastures The control of weeds in grain seeded down to grass and clover is a many sided problem, says George Knowles, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. First the chemical used should control weeds. Next it should not harm the clover or grass, then it must not reduce thé yield of grain, Finally it should be-pos- sible to apply this chemical cheaply and with Spupmens readily avail- able, At the passe. time theré are three chemicals which offer some hope of controlling annual weeds in grain which is seeded down. These chemicals are calcium cyan- amide dust, dinitro compounds, bet- ter known by the trade names Sinox and Dows Selective, and 2,4-D. Of the three 24-D is the easiest to apply for it can be put on in a low volume of water by the inex- pensive type of sprayer now in gen- eral use for other types of weed "BUILD WITH R. B.

Sinox or Dows Selective comes next in ease of application, but since it must be applied in at least 80 gallons of water per acre a large volume sprayer, the type used for orchard sprayifig fitted with a broadcast boom, must be used to apply this herbicide. Calcium cyan- amide, vhich is a black powder, 1s the most difficult to apply. First of all it must be put on when the foliage is wet with dew or immedi~ ately preceding dew. It is not ac- tive as a herbicide when applied on dry foliage. Then cyanimide dust should be applied uniformly and suitable dusting equipment is not readily available in the areas where seeding down to grass and clover is the most common practice, Calcium cyanimide dust' and Dows Selective or Sioux if applied according to directions do not re- duce grain yields. The injury they cause to grass and clover is so slight it can be ignored. Both these herbi- cides control mustard. and some other species of annual weeds. Unfortunately 2,4-D, the chemical | which is cheapest, easiest to apply and controls the most weeds, is rather severe on clover, but the re- sults of experiments show that all species of clovers are not equally sensitive to 2,4-D treatments. They seem to work in this order of resis- tance, red clover, ladino, alsike, aH- alfa and sweet clover. The latter | two are very sensitive even to very small amounts of 2,4-D. Another encouraging finding is that clovers, as they advance in growth, become more resistant to 2,4-D. Of course the weeds also become more resis- tant as they grow older. But there was less clover injury when spray- ing with 2,4-D was delayed until the grain was up about 14 inches than when the chemical was ap- plied on grain at a height of 6 inches. On grain seeded down to red clover, ladino or alsike it seems safe to use up to 4 ounces per acre of the pure 2,4-D acid in the amine form and 3 ounces of the ester, | Chatham, England--(COP) -- The | | town council have paid £500 ($1,- | 550) on cherry trees for their farm. | The farm saves Chatham taxpay- ers about £2,000 a year.
