The bill to prevent the propagation of
witch" or "quack" grass was char
acterized by Senators Yale, Wing and
Lloyd as being inadvisable,as it would
give farmers a chance to harass
their neighbors by prosecutions. Sem
ator Greer said it makes an excellent
lawn grass, but is injurious to farms
and hard to eradicate. He favored a
rigid law to prevent it's extending to
the destruction of the usefulness of
good farms. -
