From year to year the weed 'nenace is becoming greater and greater, all because they have not been kept down. At last the Department of Agriculture under the sup- ervision of the Hon. John S. Martin, has taken this matter in hand. Under the provisions of the Weed Act Control 1927, and now in force, (be destruction of weeds is no longer optional. Even the. municipal r-ouncils are required to look after those growing upon the highways. We would/suggest to every person owning property, that he looks after the weeds, on land owned by him. The Hon. Mr. Martin has gone into this question thoroughly and will maintain his outstanding record in this, as in all other legislation in his department. This work, which is being carried out by Hon. John S. Martin is to be commended and if the farmers of this district will only read the ad- vertisements in this connection which have been appearing in the Lib- eral, we believe they will be convinced that compliance with these re- gulations will be in their own interests. nen. A casual survey farm power in order th carried on. carrieu UH. Weeds are in evidence everywhere, and effective cultivation of the land at the proper time is the only effective means of keeping our. farms clean. Summer and afterâ€"harvest cultivation are badly needed, but cannot be practiced when all the horses available are employed in the hay and harvest fields. Farm work nowadays apparently comes on in a rush, and it means that farm must be equipped with sufficient power for the peak load or the rush season. In summer when cultivation is lnost effective horses will not stand the heavy work they endure without injury in the cool days of spring or fall weather. The situation calls for heavy hitches or for tractor power. In fact, alfalfa and the need of summer cultivation are making the tractor a necessary farm implement. . Wages are up rather than down, and it is doubtful if ever men will be again employed at pre-war prices. . It is a moneyâ€"losing policy now to send a $40â€"a-month man into field with a two horse team to plow or cultivate. - - s 1 n , ,1, u...

In discussing the bright prospects for good crops this year, the Farmers’ Advocate says. “The last two seasons have demonstrated the wonderful recuperative power of Canadian agriculture. In spite of adverse conditions, farming is forging ahead and producing ample to keep the wheels of industry turning and our credit good. A reason- able amount of sun and vmoisture, combined with the fertility and won- derful productivity of Canadian soils, usually lead up to an abundant harvest in spite of sun-spots, summerless years, and all the catastrop- hies that long-distance meteorologists dare to predict.” PAGE TWO Now that the school fall fairs are soon to staft again an it- em in the Farmer’s Advocate is worth reproducing. It says: ‘It is better for the children not to win a prize at the school fair than to win with semething their parents have made or prepared for them." The press generally is apparently taking great delight in “razzing” Hon. Geo. S. Henry in regards the accidents on the highways: The space used would get betterresults in the interests of public safety if it were used for educational publicity impressing upon the public the responsibility of each individual motorist. If every driver of a car would use ordinary horse sense and practice the good old golden rule, accidents on our highways would be reduced to a minimum. Irish Canadians whose ancestors had no small part in the making of the Dominion of Canada will be gratified by the recognition of that famous Irishman and father of Confederation, D’Arcy McGee, in this jubilee year. On a nevi five cent stamp just issued his head appears. The twelve-cent stamp bears the heads of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Drivers of motor cars in this district would be well advised to se- cure the necessary permits because advices from all sources indicate that a rigorous checkâ€"up of all motorists is going to be made both locally and in all parts of the province. Whatever the owner of a motor car may think of the necessity of these permits is aside from the point, the law requires them and while the government’s purpose in in- stituting the permit system may have been primarily as a revenue pro- ducing scheme they are going to prove convenient in the case of speedâ€" ers and reckless drivers before the courts because, as has already been done to many of those offenders, the driving permits can be cancelled for any length of time by a magistrate. Being forbidden to drive a car as well as having a fine imposed will go a long way towards teach- ing a reckless driver the necessity of a caution while in charge of a motor-vehicle. ‘ One fine thing about stopping at hotels is you don’t have to wash out the bathtub.

RICHMOND BILL. 9313 DO YOU REMEMBER DO YOU REMEMBER Way Back in Liberal Files Langstaff, August ‘43 Lansing, Ontario, August 22, “27 BRITISH BORN rules for safety which I most heartily commend to all motorists. I also must commend the department for carrying on such an educational cam- paign. It is a good sign that newspapers generally are demanding that abuses of the highway traffic laws be pun- ished in a drastic manner, for this reflects a public opinion which is be- ing thoroughly aroused on the sub- ject. -Most of the accidents which occur are due to carelessness or recklessness on the part of at least lone of the parties involved, and in this province there are supposed to be strong laws against this sort of driving. The imposition of laWs alone, however, is not sufficient to ‘put an end to accidents. Their rigid enforcement is also necessary, and ithis is the task with which the min- ’ister of highways is faced. To police the highways so as to catch all of- fenders would be a stupendous task, for it would mean a greatly aug- mented force of traffic officers, but 'the minister can have the assurance that he has the solid backing of pubâ€" ;lic opinion in any efforts he may make to curb recklessness and care_ :less driving practices. In the final analysis, however, the responsibility lies on the individual motorist, and it is apparent that eduâ€" ‘cation in safety is a vital essential lto automobile driving in these days of rapid transit. There is too great a tendency on the part of motorists, on a smooth and open road, to forget the principles of safety and the regulations for motor vehicles. This tendency is responsible for the great sbulk of the accidents which occur daily, and it would be well if the necessity for their Observances could be more‘ strongly impressed on the minds of drivers. The uncertainty of the human element in driving is the greatest cause of accidents, and this element needs to be thoroughly trained in the‘observance of ordin- ary common-sense ithhe use of the highways/of the province.
