great mary ontario roadsides are still so overgrown with weeds that they have the appearance of pioneer trails through the woods says the field crops branch of the ontario dept of agriculture weeds such as chicory golden- rod and queen annes lace may be colorful but many farmers j lose money each year because they spread from roadsides to adjacent fields weeds and brush can also cut down visibility at the road and so become a hazard to the travelling public in addi tion many weeds and shrubs are unsightly and detract from the scenery the weed control act of on tario expressly states that muni cipalities are responsible for the desructlon of noxious weeds on road allowances just as private property owners are responsible for the control of weeds on their land it is good law good sense and good public relations for municipalities to keep their road sides as well as their roads in good shape one of the first steps in any roadside weed control program is to prevent weeds from getting a foothold this means when work is done on roads the road sides should be graded to facili tate mowing or spraying any fresh cut surfaces should have grass seed and fertilizer applied to give a protecting cover and prevent weeds from getting a start mowing several times a year will prevent weeds from going to seed but few roads can be mowed from road edge to fence row where stones ditches or posts etc rule out mowing reg ular spraying with herbicides provides the most effective and cheapest method of weed control available 24d and 245t are effective on a wide range of weeds and brush without harm ing grass or being dangerous to live stock when using these chemicals the amine or low vola tile ester forms should be used to protect susceptible crops so dium chlorate is a contact herbi cide of the type which affects all vegetation for detailed information on the uses of herbicides on road sides consult weed and brush control on roadsides the hand book on chemical weed control

since the be ginning of time human progress and civilization itself have been dependent upon a safe supply of this abundant yet precious sub stance history points out the extreme importance of water for its use and control have affected the outcome of wars and through the part it has play ed in epidemics it has influenced the political and economic life of nations the widespread practice of chlorinating water to ensure its purity only started within the last fifty years the procedure is relatively simple since it en- tails only the addition of minute quantities of the chemical sub stance chlorine to raw water in order to destroy disease caus ing organisms the amount of chlorine required is so small that it is measured in parts per million usually less than one ppm one tenthousandth of 1 percent is sufficient to treat most drinking water town water in aurora new market richmond hill stouff- ville and woodbridge is regular ly chlorinated where large quantities are to be treated as in the case of municipal sup plies automatic injection equip ment is used this equipment forces the chlorine either in gas or liquid form into the pres sure main at the treatment plant the installation of chlor- inators on large supplies thro ughout this continent has played a vital role in the dramatic re duction of typhoid which for centuries has been one of man kinds greatest killers it is difficult to understand how some persons can object so strongly to the occasional sharp taste that appears in chlorinated wa ter when we consider the tre mendous safeguard it provides small water supplies are just as subject to pollution as any others private wells cisterns and other small supplies quite often require chlorination this procedure is far more economi cal than boiling the water to de- stroy pathogens and in most cases is certainly more practical however determining the pro per amounts to treat a partial- lar supply requires some simple technical knowhow if the finish ed product is to be both palat- able and bacteriologlcally safe those persons who vacation or- hunt in isolated areas should familiarize themselves with the technique of chlorinating water from a lake or stream persons using water from a well should ensure that the supply is safe by having a test taken the york county health unit has on its staff a number of capable sanitarians who can ad- vise and
