Flowers may be seen from July to September and are in White clusters which are flat topped when open. When old, these flower clusters curl up like a bird’s nest. Seeds may re- main in the “nest” until late fall and winter when plants break off and be carried by the Wind with drifting soil and over frozen ground and snow, scattering thousands of seeds. One farmer states that where the snow fence was erected in his field, Wild Carrot was much more prevalent, plants and seeds having been carried there by the wind. Being a Biennial any plan for its eradication should cover a two year period. It does not give any difficulty In fields where thorough cultivation and a short rotation of crops are practised. Clovers, buckwheat, hoed crops, and early summer cultivation followed by Fall wheat and rye are excellent methods of controlling this pest. In meadows which have been down two years or more, in pasture fields, fence lines, waste places and road sides it is rapidly becoming one of our worst weeds. Pulling, spudding, or cutting for two years in succession will not give A weed which wants watching, Wild Carrot or Queen Ann’s Lace, is spreading at an alarming rate in On- tario .2 is to-day considered one of our in”: objectionable weeds. A Biennial, it requires two years to proâ€" duce seed and can easily be dis- tinguished by its stems, flowers, and leaves which closely resemble the cultivated carrot, one of our principal \-getables which, it is claimed, originated from the Wild Carrot. It has a large succulent root which smells very much like the cultivated Carrot. This is one certain method of identifying it from Caraway, a plant which closely resembles Wild Carrot and with which it is some- times confused.

For heavy! infestations in areas which cannot be ’cultivated, chemical Weed Killers areI the only practical solution to the problem. Experiments have proven that this weed can be destroyed by, spraying with a chemical with a sodium chlorate base or with pure: sodium chlorate without any perman-. ent injury to the grass using a pound I or less per gallon of water applied a day or so after the first blooms have appeared. An average plant may produce thousands of seeds each of which bears rows of prickles. These stick to animals, clothing, etc., and are carried long distances. Wild Carrot seed is an impurity in Timothy or Clover seed. Those keeping ' fields for seed are well advised to go over their fields and rogue out any carrot plants. More attention must be paid to this weed in the pasture. It is spreading at an alarming rate and grows more objectionable each year. Every effort should be made to keep it from maturing seed. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson were re- turning home one moonlight night after a strenuous day’s shopping: Wife (exclaiming suddenly) John, what a lovely moon! John (absent mindedly): Y~es«, how much is it? When the supply of pasture is un- usually short and sheep are turned in before Wild Carrot becomes too far advanced, they will keep it Cropped close. Pasture fields or hay fields Where a single cut of hay has been taken off early should be trim- med again the latter part of August. All plants in flower are two year plants which Will die that Fall. If these are kept from going to seed the Wild Carrot in the field must de- crease. Elect i In the Pioneer Pictures allâ€"color feature “Becky Sharp” motion picture Iaudiences will be treated to the per- formance of probably the most impos- ing dramatic cast ever assembled for [a motion picture.

Burton of Carrville had a very narrow escape from injury and possible death when a bullet crashed through the windshield of her car as she was driving along the Carr- ville sideroad Monday afternoon. The bullet entered the car through the windshield and went out an open side window, missing Mrs. Burton, who was at the wheel, by a few inches It is thought someone target shooting on the holiday was responsible for the accident which was within a hair’s breadth of ending in a serious tragedy Police are investigating and all who own: or use firearms are warned to be careful. MOST NOTABLE DRAMATIC CAST ASSEMBLED FOR “BECKY SHARP" Miriam Hopkins, acknowledged star of the screen and one of the three greatest actresses on the American stage, steps into the shoes of Minnie Maddern Fiske to carry the name of Becky Sharp brilliantly into the great new color era of the screen. Sir Cedric Hardwicke, knighted in 1934 for his contributions to the Eng- lish stage, and greatest star in the British Empire, crossed the Atlantic to make his American film debut as the Marquis of Steyn‘e, made famous by none other than Tyrone Power and George Arliss. Frances Dee winning high laurels in such pictures as “Little Women” and “Of Human Bondage,” is playing the biggest part of her career as Amelia Sedley. I Billie Burke, long a favorite stat of both the American and English stages and‘ one of the most popular of screen celebrities, appears as the snrobbish Lady Bareacres-. Parting cats hide claws in soft paws and many a smooth sounding poli tician- has Pater handed the public a ripping wallop. Nigel Bruce, another favorite star of the English stage who has an. enviable reputation as a character actor of the screen, alslo crossed from England to appear in this picture. Alison Skipworth, stage and screen star, plays the tempestuous Miss Crawley. Alan Mowbray, one of the most accomplished and versatile actors of both stage and screen, drew the call for the part of Rawdon Crawley. William Faversham, a star of Mm. Fisnke’s day who has the distinction of having played in more than sixty different starring stage roles, brings the Duke of Wellington to this pic- ture. William Stack, for years the star of London’s famous “Old Vic" theatre Doris Lloyd, George Hassell and Charles Richman are others who have earned1 the right, by reason of their accomplishments, to be included in this stellar cast. “Becky Sharp" is an adaptation of the Langdon Mitchell stage play which was adapted from Thackeray’s fam- ous “Vanity Fair.” The screen play was written by Francis Edward Faragoh. Rouben Maboulian is the producer. Robert Edmond Jones, outstanding designer of the New York stage, de- signed the picture in color. With such a great combination of acting and technical talent and genius, plus a literary and stage classic, it is little wonder that “Becky Sharp” is rated as an outstanding achieve- ment of motion picture art, and will be shown at the Capitol Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

To try to measure the enjoyment of others by our own. To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. To look for judgment and experi- ence in youth. To endeavor to mould all disposi- tions alike. Not to yield to unimportant trifles. To look for perfection in our own actions. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied. Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of others. To consider anything impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. Not to alleviate if we can all that needs alleviation To live as if the moment, the time, the day were so important that it would live forever. To estimate people by some out‘ side quality, for it is that within: which mkes the man. Phone HYland 2081 Open Em Eve.
