Dept. of Agriculture. After-harvest cultivation is one of the most practical and most effect- ive methods of controlling weeds, states John D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. Plants draw heavily on the food stored in the roots in order to produce flower and seed and they are at their weakest stage immedi- ately after the crop has been re- moved. For the control of annual and win- ter annual weeds, shallow, thorough cultivation is recommended by using the plow, one-way disc, cultivator or disc harrow. Seeds are brought near the srurface by this plan where they germinate and may be killed by subsequent cultivation. An abun- dance of moisture plus the methods outlined above, will destroy milliOns of seedling plants of such weeds as Wild Mustard, Stinkweed, Ragweed, Foxtail, False Flax, Pigweed, Lambs Quarters, Shepherds Purse, etc; For the control of perennial weeds having deep tap roots, such as Blad- der Campion and Chicory, deep plow- ing is recommended as soon as the crop has been removed, followed by cultivation. using wide, sharp shares which overlap . Thorough, frequent cultivation both ways is essential in order to cut roots and bring them to the surface where the sun will assist in destroying them. The “dry-cleaning” method hasl proven the mest effective in con-l trolling weeds with creeping rootâ€"' stocks. Included in this group are four Well known perennials: Field Bindweed. Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass and Canada Thistle. The disc plow has proven an. effectâ€" 1 ive implement in the control of these ‘ weeds. Deep plowing is needed for‘ Sow Thistle, Canada Thistle and Bindweed, and shallow plowing for Twitch Grass. The field should be left in this rough state as long- as dry weather prevails followed by frequent thorough cultivation. It should be plowed late in the fall and left in the rough state or ridged up for the winter. The use of the disc harrow is not recommended for the control of per- ennial weeds. An abundance of moisture will prove favourable for the control of annual weeds but will upset all plans for the control of perennials, partiâ€" cularly those with underground r001:- stocks. Two objectives should be kept in mind when planning after- harvest cultivation. 1. Practise a green summer fal- low when controlling annualsâ€"per- mit seeds to germinate and destroy them later by cultivation. 2. Practise a black summer fal- low when fighting: winter annuals, bienniais and perennials. Keep the ground absolutely black until frosts will ma possible.

Rural Boys, Girls Prepare for Fairs Junior competitions to be held at eleven exhibitions this fall. 0M Dept. of Agricultural oflficials stateâ€"over 2500 entries expected. Over 2,500 rural boys and girls will take part in Junior competi- tions at fall fairs this year. This is an increase over last year, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture officials state. While several of the larger exhi-l bitions including the Western Fair" at London and the Central Canada exhibition at Ottawa, are not func- tioning this year owing to the fact ,that their grOunds and buildings have been loaned to the Dept. of Militia, the Dept. of Agriculture has decided to carry on with their Junâ€" ior Farmer Work where possible so that these farm boys of toâ€"day may become the trained agriculturists 0f to-morrow. The Junior competitions that ordinarily are held at the Cen- tral Canada Exhibition will take place at the Richmond Fair Aug. 23 and 24. The boys will have their usual camp and calf club competi- tions and demonstrations. The Lon- don competitions will be held early in October. The girls of the Homemaking Clubs will conduct their judging and demonstration programs and exhibit their work under the direction of Miss Florence Eadie, Women’s In- stitute Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agri- culture, and the HOmemaking Club coaches, while the Boys’ Clulb work will ‘be under the supervision of R. S. Duncan, Director of Agricultural Representatives, hi Assistant A. H.

CRAIGIE THURSDAY, AUGUST 22nd, 1940. buy here with confidence Several advantageous factors in recent developments have made it possible to adhere to the accelerated schedule in the British Cemmon- wealth Air Training Plan, according to a statement issued .by Hon. C. G. Power, Minister of National Defence ‘for Air, after a meeting of the Sup- ervisory Board of the Plan at which representatives of the participating countries were present. Chief factor in speeding the out- put of pilots, air gunners and wire- less operators is the reduction in the length of training courses at the request of the United Kingdom. The itraining period for pilots has been ‘reduced' from eight to seven weeks in the elementary, intermediate and jadvanced training stages. Air Force Training Period Shortened To Speed Empire Plan The courses for air gunners and wireless operators will be reduced first by two weeks, subSequently ‘by four weeks and will eventually only take 18 weeks. These courses have been reduced from 24 to 18 weeks in. the United Kingdom. ,The resumpticn of deliveries to Canada from the United Kingdom of certain types of advanced training aircraft, together with present at- rangements for acquiring aircraft in the United States has made it possâ€" ible to follow the accelerated sche- dule which calls for the opening of eight service flying training schools this year. The original plan called for five. The new schedule calls for 14 elementary flying training schools instead of the original six this year. The Joint Training Plan largely Canadian in its beginnings is now assuming greater imperial aspect. Recently the first group of R.A.F'. recruits arrived from England, 22 in number, to be trained in-Canada. More will arrive at regular inter- vals and in a short While student airmen from Australia and New Zealand will report regularly for training.
