That is the question that annually crops up in the minds of the organizers. There is an old superstition that no matter what date is set for the fair there is bound to be rain. Downpours last year turn- ed the race-track into a sea of mud which had to be ploughed over so that it could dry. Only a clear-up in the weather at the last minute saved the fair from failure, So weather reports and barometers are being carefully studied this week.

Field Bindweed Is Difficult To Eradicate Field Bindweed (sometimes called Wild Morning Glory) is the most difficult of all Ontario weeds to eradicate, once it has become established in a field. In fact K. 8. Murphy, Fieldman for the Crops Branch o fthe Ontario Department of Agriculture, feels that there is probably no other weed threatening the farmer with such a loss as Field Bindweed. He goes on to point out that it is even harder to kill than Perennial Sow Thistle even though the seeds are not as widely dis- persed by the wind. It thrives in both wet and dry seasons and, once it is established in a field, no crop will grow. According to Mr. Murphy, these facts alone should lead the farmer to take steps to pre- vent its introduction to his farm, Bindweed has extensive, creeping, cord-like root stocks which pene- trate the soil to a depth of four feet or more. Mr, Murphy says that, any root stock possessing one or more buds on the ground or twine around other plants. There is a re- semblance between the Morning Glory and Bindweed, mainly in 'the shape of their leaves and flowers. The rather small leaves are some- what arrow-shaped and may have either blunt or rounded tips. The white or rose coloured flowers are funnel shaped and about an inch across. He goes on to point out that an average plant may produce about 160 seeds which may be distributed as an impurity in cereal grain. However, the usual method of dis- persal is by the creeping root stocks. Mr. Murphy states that patches of Bindweed may be kept from spreading further by working them separately. Chemical weed killers such as 2-4-D or a sodium chlorate based weed killer also provide a means of control, 2-4-D may be applied at the rate of % Ib. active HONORED NAME x Florence Nightingale received her Christian name from the Italian city where she was born in 1820, of British parents. GEO. MCLAUGHLIN | is the chairman of he committee material per acre in cereal crops or corn. Spraying several times per year over a number of years may ry to completely eradi- cate Bindweed. Sodium Chlorate weed killers, such as Atlacide or Ergside, at 1% 1b. = 2 1b, per gallon per 100 square feet, also gives good control, but may leave the soil rela- tively sterile for a year or so. These latter herbicides also give effective control when used in the dry form. Another recommendation he puts forth is to plant corn or other hoe crops in hills 42" apart so that cultivation may be carried on both ways. When the crop is taken off in the fall, cultivatiod should be continued as'late as possible. Then ridge up the land in drills and al- low to stand over the winter. Culti- vation should be started as early as possible the following spring, to pre- vent Bindweed from getting started at that time. Cultivation is very important during midsummer. eriments conducted by the OAC have shown 100 percent of the root stocks of Bindweed were killed by the sun's rays at this time. Following a hoe crop he suggests that the field be seeded down to clovers and left as long as it is profitable. In this way, Bindweed will not get a chance to spread further in the sod. In summing up the control and eradication of Bindweed, Mr. Murphy declares that perseverance is necessary, if this troublesome pest is to be completely eliminated. The job may well take several years, but it will be well worth the effort.
