missioner Of the general land office

THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.

The attention of the UNION has
been called to the fact that the law
calling for the destruction of nox-
ious has not been observed in this
county. The law was passed by
the legislature last winter and re-
qulres those owning, occupying or
controlling lands to destroy the
weeds, Russian thistle, mustard,
burdock, etc. It further defines
clearly the duties of certain officials
to destroy the thistle, etc., on pub
lie roads, streets and other public
lands and to see that they are de-
stroyed on the lands of negligent
owners. The provisions are clear
and the penalties strong enough so
that the law can be enforced. The
UNION does not wish to be under
stood as insinuating that our ofic-
ials have wilfully neglected their
duty. This new law has probably
escaped their attention in the press
of official business and it is not too
late now.
Prof. Hays, Of the state expert
mental farm, informs us that if
| the Russian thistles are DESTROYED
in this section before Aug. 25 no
harm will result. The plant is an
annual and can be killed by cut
ting off below the branches by use
of ordinary tools of cultivation OF
by blowing. This weed is a terror
mainly because of the large guam
tity of seeds it produces and its
great ability to travel and scatter
them.
Landowners, besides having tx
pay for the work of destroying
them by officials, are subject tx
fines for neglect, as are the count,
commissioners, town supervisors
city and village councils, roa<
