As supervisor of Agricultural Service Boards for the Department of Agriculture, he was instrumental in the passage of the Agricultural Service Board Act of 1945. His untiring efforts led to the establishment of the Province's successful Norway Rat Control Program. Mr. Lobay used modern technology in the development of new, innovative programs for effective weed control in the province. He helped to convince farmers, municipalities and the Provincial Government that weed control was everyone's responsibility.
