Nox,ou. Seed. In Wool.

1.-THE recent warning from the Maine
experiment station concerning weeds

well be supplemented by calling atten-
ton to those introduced In the vicinity
Of Maine wooden mills in the wool
brought from Australia or Texas or
the Lord knows where. This is one
Of the most prolific sources of foul
seeds the state has known. Two Pc
culiarly aggressive weeds owe their
Importation into Maine to this cause,
say the wool sorters: these are what
is popularly called May weed and red
root or burr weed The May weed
has one principal root which runs deep
with twist like n corkscrew, and
when matured has branchy. sprang-
pods. spreading in all directions and
ready to shell out seeds in enormous
quantity on the least provocation. The
burr weed is more robust and grows
eighteen inches or two feet high, q
single stalk with crown top at first,
with sprouts developing other stalks
from the joints later. Its seeds are
held in mass OF burrs which become
brittle and light, when ripened and
are readily blown about. 1t, too. has
tap-root which goes down to
straight depth. It seeds profusely.
Both the May weed and the burr weed
when hoed up or pulled up from the
soil will not grow again II they are
carefully carried of the premises and
burned. With anything less they are
pretty sure to reappear, with additions.
The burr weed, If left on the ground.
will send root down and stalk up at
every joint. Fortunately, these weeds
do not thrive in grass land. If they
did the state would soon be overrun
with them."-Lewiston journal.
