WARNED AGAINST THIsTLEs.
Great Fears That the Russian Sticker
May Take Kansas.

TOPEKA, kas., Aug. 9.-The state agri-
cultural department has printed large
poster descriptive OF the Russian thistle,
which will be sent broadcast over Kansas
with view OF stirring the farmers up to
the point of organizing for warfare upon
the foreign visitor. The board offers the
following suggestions:
Plaut no seed from districts known to be
infested. The states where the Russian
thistle has been established for some time
are the two DakOtas, Nebraska Colorado.
Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin Our
counties bordering Nebraska and Colorado
should be particularly wstchfui.
Not one plant should be allowed to 90
to seed. Every plant in the state should
he Uprooted before the end of August.
Later than this the seed may be formed,
and all plants should be burned.
The county aud township authorities
should see that no tbist,es are allowed TO
grow Hloug wagon roads or railroads, on
waste or unoccupied lands, on stubble
fields, or freight depots, elevators or gran
aries.
The gravity OF the Russian thistle
scoUrage cannot be over-estimated, In
some district of the Dakotas farms have
cen abandoned on account of it. This
weed thrives IN dry weather, and at suca
times il crowds out all other vegetation.
For his reason IL is likely to be especially
formidable in the western portion of our
state
There should be a general public inter
est aud watchfuiness in regard to this
abominable weed and not one should be
allowed TO ripeu seed"
