[AQE TWO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT Recent reports which represent the industrial growth of Canada in a most favorable light, are the source of great encouragement to the civic boosters, especially in the smallâ€" er centres, who are looking for a strong progressive moveâ€" ment in industrial activity during the coming fall and wint- er season. \41 uvuuv... Many communities are commencing to give an extra display of life in the competition for new factories. Eter- nal vigilance is the price of power and success, and the cen- tres that are wide-awake in this matter of industrial pro- motion will be the ones most likely to experience growth. The city of Guelph has recently appointed an industriâ€" al commissioner whose duty will be to promote the growth of Guelph’s factory districts. Oshawa already has an in- dustrial commissioner, but as the Times of that place points out, more than a mere official is necessary if industries are to be secured. He must receive (to-operation. The city council of Oshawa is endeavoring to support him to some ex- tent by establishing an industrial area of fifteen acres, and it is expected that this will be of considerable assistance. In past years there seems to have been a general ten- dency on the part of industrial promoters to seek the large cities. In these later days the system seems to be chang- ing, and at the present time, according to newspaper reports prospective industrial capital is seeking the small centres, realizing that life is more pleasant for their employees and conditions of manufacture generally are more desirable and profitable. This is particularly noticeable in the States, and it may mean that American capitalists coming over to this country to establish branch factories, and who in the past have had their minds concentrated on the larger cent- res of population, may be more interested in the smaller towns, where the facilities are just as great, and the gener- al living conditions much superior. n . u. ..-...D vv-.“_-~--.~ ____. Industrial promotion is only successful when a serious and energetic body of men are continually at it, giving sup- port to industrial commissioners or industrial committees. The board of trade may be of immense benefit to the com- munity along this line, provided the members are sufficientâ€" ly interested, and the enthusiasm maintained at the proper pitch. In the preparation for the fall activities in this community, the program of the board of trade should recei- ve careful consideration. In Richmond Hill it seems this organization is given the responsibility to handle industrial promotion, and that work cannot be done successfully withâ€" out the interest and co-operation of all the members. CHAIN FARMING In these days of the Chain Store there has grown a dis- cussion on the possibility of Chain Farming. It is sugges- ted that large blocks of land could be profitably farmed by a large organization. There are many difficulties in the way of the scheme but the idea is one which will at least be tried out in this country and in the United States within the next few years. The problem of “help” is a serious one with the farm- er although the tendency is towards more efficient and larâ€" ger machinery. The tractor has proven itself a labor-savâ€" erand many are seen on the farms in York County. Increasing mechanization may yet do much to restore the farmer’s position of economic independence. One trou- ble, however, is that large and expensive equipment seriâ€" ously,‘affects net profits on a small farm. The Farmer’s Advocate recently stated that the overhead on a hundred- acre farm is already too high, and the only solution to the “big implements and small farms” situation seemed to be a form of “co-operative production,” with neighbors uniting in ownership,and operation of mechanical appliances. Many examples of this plan could be cited in this district and it appears to work satisfactorily. in... 171 A 1 «try..- Carrying the idea still farther, Milton W. Anderson. president of a big tractor organization, predicts the coming of “chain farms” as logical complement of chain stores. There would be a central organization, finances by big busiâ€" ness men, and individual farmers would be branch managâ€" ers of farms owned by the chain. There are aspects to this which may not appeal to those chiefly concerned, and pre- sumably such a thing would never be discussed in a com- munity where farms are paying. Where farming is not now paying, something of the kind might be feastible. That is the opinion of St. Thomas Times-Journal, which draws this picture of “ hain farms” and their operators: “They wi l have to run the farm, not as they have been used to running it, according to their own ideas, but according to the scientifically devised methods of the proprietors. The owners will buy machinery. stock and seed in vast quantities. They will sell agricultural produce the same way. The farm man- ager will draw a straight salary and be relieved of his individual worries. Perhaps he will get a bonus from grateful directors.” Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING 00., LTD. J.

NEW WEEDS MAY BE AVOIDED It is difficult to control and prevent the spread of weeds, such as Field Bindweed, Perennial Sow Thistle and Couch Grass, which spread rapidly by underground stems or root stalks; consequently, land not infested with these weeds should be inspected freâ€" quently, and plants of these found growing thereon should be dug up completely and burned. However these Weeds are propagated by \‘seeds as well, which as a matter of fact is the way in which most weeds are in- troduced. to land and spread rapidly over farms, localities and countries. Caution When Threshing Is Important In War on Weeds This being the case the greatest progress in the eradication of weeds can be made by preventing weeds from producing seeds, and by prevent 'ng the introduction and distribution of Weed Seeds to the land in the seed :own, in the manure applied, or other rise. The control of weeds on many “arms is made more difficult as a reâ€" :ult of these being allowed to produce seeds on roadsides, in lanes, pastures, waste places, and along fences and ditches. In many cases the true value of: clean seed is underestimated. It is 2 impossible to control and eradicate ueeds if the seed sown is contaminat- ~d with weed seeds; therefore clean Bed is essential in any system of Weed mtrol. ‘ Many serious infestalions weeds are known to have been fitted as a result of the weed seeds the seed sown. / Weeds which are allowed to ripen 1d remain in the crop will be har- ested and threshed, and unless p’ro- ision is made to separate the weed 'eds, ‘these will pass out of the sep- rator with grain, or be carried out 3th the chaff and straw. Weed seeds carried with the grain ‘n‘esent part of the dockage (too ‘en the greater part of it), and if the seeds be of a kind which canno V V ' _ .M.‘ '1‘ or pp bushel of the product will be reduced much below the market value of clean seed. Some kinds of weeds and weed seeds are bitter and distastefulâ€" Some injurious to the health of Live Stock when fed in certain quantities, and all are undesirable in grain used for manufacturing or seeding purpos- es. ' If grain containing weed seeds e fed to live stock without belr round sufficiently to destroy the v. llity of the seeds, many will be dis 'ibuted on the land in the manur< ill capable of producing plants an Lfesting new crops. Therefore, it i ivisable that all grain used as fee ‘ cleaned to remove the small wee eds, and that these be burned t l revent their being carried back to tl‘ land. Those which pass out of the separ tor with the chaff and straw will b ~turned to the land so that any W1“ ch are vital will ger'minate and. pro~ duce weeds to infest the next crop. It is advisable that as many as pos- sible of the weed seeds be separated at the time of threshing from the grain and the chaff and straw. This may be accomplished by the proper use of screens in the separator. For years, separators have been provided with a screen in the lower part of the shoe to remove small seeds from the grain just before it is deliv- ered from the machine. Recently there has been used in some machines a screen in the deck back of the con- cave, to remove small Weed seeds from the grain, chaff and straw, im- mediately following the process of shelling. The use of this screen is cave, to from. the mediater shelling. two screens mentioned on the ground or on ' the machine ,an accun’ weed seed and inert m case THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, QNTARIO base are WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES Em .ter re, there is 1001- under ion of fine In most harmful if of th When Mr. H Haven, Conn., Sanderson.

Unless the separator is well cleanâ€" ed after threshing, weed seeds may be carried from one farm to another and be distributed along roads and in lan- es. Sufficient time should be taken to clean the separator Well before it is moved. The matter of separating weed seeds from the grain, chaff and straw, at the time of threshing and the cleaning of the machine is one for co-operation between the thresher and the farmer. This service is available to growers. It is the gen- eral desire of separator operators to meet the demands of farmers in this respect. The cleaning of the separâ€" ator before being brought. to the farm may save many dollars and much hard work. According to statistics millions of dollars are lost annually, as a result of the weed scourge.
