June 2, 1975 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WEED CONTROL TRIAL PROJECT Alberta Agriculture's Weed Control Branch and the County of Beaver, 30 miles southeast of Edmonton, have embarked on a five-year trial project to attempt to control scentless mayweed in that county. A visual appraisal of the county, carried out last year, showed that well over half of it was infested with scentless mayweed, a daisy-like plant called chamomile in Europe. Infestations ranged from light to severe with the worst usually being located on solo- net zic soils, which are often difficult to cultivat

Infestations ranged from light to severe with the worst usually being located on solo- net zic soils, which are often difficult to cultivate. The first phase of the present project involves acquainting every landowner and resident in the County of Beaver with the facts about scentless mayweed. They include its physical characteristics, recommended control methods and the objectives of the present project. This is to be done through personal calls by county staff, news letters, newspaper ads and columns, radio shows, and public displays. The county of Beaver's agricultural fieldman, Laurie Weatherill says a unique feature of the project is its comprehensive and systematic approach.
