spraying too but where can we get a spraying outfit he pointed out that if a reasonable response is made to the prize money there would be that many less weeds to cut or to spray if the farmers didnt respond to the offer then it wouldnt cost anything j councillor harper said he sup ported the idea on the ground out lined by the deputy reeve but he was inclined to the belief that a small percentage would compete but he seconded the resolution be cause he saw no harm in trying it out i- i see in the idea where a fellow with a clean front or one easy- to keep clean could easily win over one witifa
