B. and o. railroad few weeks ago, west
of Monocacy Junction, we noticed some
fields that were literally ovcrrun with tho
above named weed. Ono wheat field VIC
noticed was so ,hickly covered with this
weed rs to render the wheat rrCp a worth
less one. And we now notice in the Times
Of Saturday tibet a reaper was put 70 work
III the field last week and the entire gro"th
Of wheat and weeds moved down 1t is
said the weed dies when the top is cut or
pulled off. We notice considerable
growth of this weed on this side of Frcdrr

spend two dollars on every acre on which
this weed is increasing, in order to sc, rid
of the plague. 1t WAS introduced during
the war Banner.
