RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO News and Information for the Busy Farmer | Ragweed plants may be eradicated with no permanent injury to grass by using a 10% solution of Ammon- ium Sulphate. Dissolve 1 pound of the Ammonium Sulphate in 1 gallon of water and spray with a fine nozzle sprayer at a pressure of 300 to 350 pounds. Wet all plants thor- oughly down to the ground, preferâ€" ably just before coming into flow~ er. This method is recommend-ed for streets, cunbs, fence lines, around buildings and all areas where it is difficult to mow. Won’t you do your share to aid hay fever sufferers by inspecting your property for Ragweed and re- port any infestation you know of to your city, town, village, c0unty or township weed inspector? Ragweed is listed as a noxious weed Within the Weed Control Act which states that it must be destroy- ed before seeds mature. When growing in areas which can be cultivated, hand pulling, mowing to prevent seeding and after har'vest cultivation are recommended. ‘When found in areas which cannot be cul- ‘tivated, hand. pulling, mowing and the use of chemicals are rec0mmend; ed.

The leaves are almost as finely divided as some species of ferns. The spike- like flower heads are very numerous and from one to six inches long. The flowers are yellow in colour and produce an abundance of pollen. Pollen grains are produced abundâ€" antly from the latter part of July until autumn frosts kill the plants. These particles of pollen, light in weight, may be carried long dist- ances ‘by the slightest breeze and inhaled by those susceptible to hay fever causes much discomfort. Because Ragweed is not very ap- parent in the growing crOp, the dam. age that it does is frequently under- estimated. 11: takes a good" deal of plant food from the ground thus robbing the natural storehouse of crop plants. It also crowds out and prevents a perfect stand of fodder crops which have been seeded with the grains. Its presence in pasture areas is claimed to cause unpleasant odors to the milk of cows which eat it.

Ragweed, being an annual, depends entirely on its seed for survival from year to year, so that every time you destroy a plant you are killing- not one or two nundrred but in some cases 5000 seeds, and as these seeds may remain in the soil several years without injury to the germ, it can be seen that to control Ragweed effectively every plant Ask any hay fever sufferer at this time of the year and he will sneeze y0u a vindictive replyâ€"“Ragweed”.

TREASURER‘S SALE OF LANDS IN ARREARS OF TAXES We heard a good story the other 'day about a district bootlegger. Some thirsty souls called at this chap’s place late at night anti when their mappings on the-door went unheeded, they really raised a rumpus, kic‘kâ€" ing and‘ hollering loud; enough to a- waken the whole neighborhood. Fin- ally the owner stuck his head out of an upstairs Window and saidu “Hey, boys, pipe down on the noise â€"do you want me to lose my Ii- cense?”â€"‘Chesley Enterprise. If the following rules are followâ€" ed, there should be very few losses from coociddosis. 1. Do not overcrowd. 2. Bone dry litter. 3. Good ventilation. Take away all hard materials like oyster shell, vbonemeal, charcoal and grit. Allow the ‘birds to consume all the buttermilk, or diluted semi solid buttermilk, that they desire. If they are eating poorly give a small amount of mash moistened with buttermilk at frequent inter- vals. Feed no grain during the day. A small feeding of grain may be given at night, but in most cases the grain is not desired by the birds until their appetite is restored. Four or five days on the treatment usu- ally clears up any ordinary infec- tion of coccidiosis “but: some cases may require longer. This treatment is entirely safe, and may be con- tinued for any period required to completely clear up the infection. There are many patent prepara- tions for controlling coccidiosis. These are, in most cases, expensive and run away with mOSt of the pro- fit even before the birds start pmâ€" ducimg. The following procedure has been found most satisfactory, and is highly recommended for the treatment of coccidiosis in any stage: VILLAGE OF RICHMOND HILL The first signs of coccid’osis is a paleing of the comb and wattles‘J This is followed by lack of appe-I tite and blood appearing in the droppings. The experienced poultry. man does not wait until blood apd pears in the drOppings to treat his! birds, but checks the infection when! the first signs appear. a much heavier infection to affect a healthy bird than a weak one. A producer may be extremely careful to keep his litter dry, yet suffer severe losses from coccidiosis, be- cause of having birds in poor con~ dition, with a lowered resistance due to poor ventilation, overcrowding, poor stock, etc. ‘ is one of the most easily controlled diseases met with in the poultry world. CoccidiOsis gives ti‘Ouble onâ€" ly when conditions allow [it, and these conditions are so easily con- trolled, that to admit continued trouble from coccidiosis is an ad- mission of poor management and neglect. ' Coccidia are small organisms that cause coccidiosis. These organisms, when in sufficient numbers, will cause an inflamation of the intes- tines of sufficient intensity to cause bleeding. In addition. a bird’s re- sistance is broken down to the dis- eases, and its condition may became so poor as to cause death. Coccidia multiply in damp litter, and from this source most coccidia infections originate. Of course, the resistance of a strong bird is mucn greater to the disease than the resistance of a. weak one. In other words, it takes» Chick’n Chats J. HUME, Village Treasurer.
