the tribune stouffviue ont thursday oct 21st 1943 page three quality service feed grain the ontario department of agriculture has drawn to our attention that since the province has agreed with the dominion department of agriculture to permit feed grain containing 3 dockage to bypass fort william there is greater danger that weed seeds may be distributed more widely this step was taken as an emergency measure only and they are asking that we consider it as such in order that the great shortage of feed grains in ontario may be reasonably met they are anxious in order to control the spread of weed seeds as much as possible that every effort be taken to have grain which is carrying this dockage recleaned at destination this grain need only be put over a screen which would take out the very small seeds such as mustard or the smaller black seeds how we are in a position to do just what the depart ment of agriculture is asking in fact we have put through our grain receiver all western grain regard less of dockage take advantage of our equipment and have clean grain so as to prevent the spread of noxious weeds stiver bros stouffville ont phone 4501 local and personal happenings e a
