on road allowance and work done through the Ag Service Board
was discussed and it was felt best not to spell this out
in a firm policy In general Mr Soder states that they try
to control the weeds on new grades for approximately the first
three years, and to do most of the secondary roads Tordon
is used for thistle control, but this also kills alfalfa
2 4 D is normally used

JOINT !YNNICIPC.L COUNCIL t'.IgD .GRICULTUIZ'_L SERVICE BOARD 14BETING
JULY _26. 1976
R7ork has progressed quite well since our last meeting. Weather
conditions have hindered us to some extent, not rain so much, but
we have had a considerable amount of wind.
We have three men working with us besides Glenn and myself and I
feel that the boys have been working good
WEEDS.
We started spraying roadsides around June lst and Robert Tullikopf
has been at this as steadily as the wind would permit. I have
seen some of the results and Robert appears to have done a real
good fob. The roadside sprayer seems to be working well with
the exception of the fibre glass on the inside of the tank corning
off in patches There is a slight leak in the rear right bottom
seam of the tank The majority of the new road construction for
the past three years has been sprayed and we are now working on
thistle and Toad flax patches on other roads We do not plan on
any brush spraying until this Fall and then we pl.-tin on using as
many pellets as possible rather than spraying.
I have called at a number of fares in regard to late worked
sur.P_er fallow and in most cases, the problem had been taken care of
We have done some work on the Scentless Hayweed but we still have
to spend some time on this
Generally speaking, the area looks real good in so far as weeds
are concerned There are some fields with real bad Wild Oat
nfestations, but for the most part, our fields look quite cleoin
Canada and Sow Thistle will be starting to show up now.
Glenn and the boys have sprayed a considerable number of fields
that have Toad Flax �Ie have had sprayer problems so this is
delayed at present
PESTS:
The only problem we have h.�d with pests is insects on trees most
of these have been te'_ '.en care of reasonably easily, but we did
have a problem at Charlie Duttonvs at Dru::lheller, with an insect
that is not too common. "'his was the larvae of the Rusty Tussock
moth We sprayed twice with 11alathion and finally switched to
Diazanon before we got thy:: desired control F1e have been spraying;
shelterbelts with Malathion but I think that we will be going
stricly to Diazanon Halathion is nice to work with but it is
limited and the temperature factor of 68degrees can and has,
limited our work
We have had very few requests for Dinethoate for grasshoppers The
grasshopper_, populL-ttion appears to be really low this year
We have had no reports on insects on rape as yet but we should
be watching for them
EROSION
We have only worked on three washouts and only one standing
request for more assistance Some farmers have done some levelling
a their own.
,ghile there was considerable wind erosion this spring, things
settled down quite well There was a limited amount of reseeding
on account of soil drifting but there was some

M-f DSIDE MO'HING
2.
We have almost completed the roadside mowing for this year In
fact with other work coming up, we may have to let it go for
this year We had a lot of little things go wrong with the rower
and I don't think that we h--.d quite as good a job as post years
but I have heard reports that the mowing looked good It may
be that there has been more regrowth on account of the delayed
moisture in some areas In fact, I have debated on going over some
roads again.
EUIPPIENT .
s I stated before, we had a nui.1ber of minor things go wrong with
the mower which became a nuisance, not costly but time consuming
We did have to have a new clutch in the i-la.ssey tractor This
went out when we were cultivating; Keiver's Lake beach
We had to put a new clutch in the Ford one ton alone; with a new
windshield It is using some oil but I like the way it is eot
up for spraying. Tv1arbe we should be looking at purchasing a new
truck for next year as this outfit is used quite a lot and covers
a lot of miles and we need something quite dependable
We have had considera:? -le trouble with our insecticide sprayer
7Ve had to put on a. new sprayer pump The motor has given us a
lot of trouble so we ordered a new one The new one seized uf�
with less than one half -hour operation. We sent it back to
Plumford- Nedla,nd Ltd. to find out the problem They claim that
it had been run without oil and therefore no warranty. I did see
Glenn put oil into it before it was started so this was not the
case They said that they would not send it out until the warranty
was settled. Depending on developments at this time of writing,,
we may let them keep it as it was not paid for
G!..NTS;
.Je have claimed for all Service Eoard GrLnts up to the end of
June The total was a little in excess of $14,000 00
DEMO1d ST u- ,TIONS .
I
sle haven't spent much time on derionstrati.ons this year. The one
mayor one was out at George Doles' on barley Valter Yarish wanted
to test some Ultra Low Volwae 2 -4 -D by aircraft This chemical
was applied and it resulted in considerable daiaage to 30 acres of
barley and not too much tweed control. Walter YCrish and the
chemical people Flan on being here the first week in .'.ugust to
assess the possibilities. `-le are not certain where the problem
lies; it could be the -- :�:Iplication or the chemical. The chemical
wars applied by George Walker from Edmonton
The only other two demonstrations are with Hoe- arass which Cie
farriers applied themselves a.nd both farmers appear happy.
P.F.I"C .
To date the parks haven't been the problem this year that they
were other years. Isle haven't had nearly as rauch vandalism. There
had been a few trees cut down and one or two tables broken up a;
bit but I expect that this would be normal
We have ordered flouts to fence in an area along the beach at
ieiver's Lake in the water to keep boats and skiers out of the
swiru_iing area There h` vent arrived as yet
7�le have pounced a new pad around the well at Tolman but still have
soiAe work to do on this

Parks - contpd.
-1e picked up five camp table kits to assemble when we have a
rainy day. These were precut and a little more expensive than
the raw material but should be cheaper in the long run.
We plan to get all parks mowed this next week We also hope to
get some work done on some of the older toilets to make theca
:pore ,presentable
I am planning on taking the balance of this week off frori July
27th to I`ugust 2nd Unless something unforseen should come up,
it would appear that everything is in hand as much as can be
expected.
