a probable solution Of the Russian
thistle problem has been discovered, it
is claimed by farmer named Fucher,
who has ranch near Juelsburg, Colo
RADIO, part of which is devoted to the
cattle industry. Last summer he was
bothered by the thistle, which spread
rapidly and oyergrew large parts OF
his land. In order to get rid OF it, it
was moved down and raked together
in stacks. No further attention was
paid to 1t and it remained in the
stacks all summer and now the cattle
he owns are feeding upon the thistle.
MIR. Flucher says they prefer it to hay
or alfalfa and that they grow fat on
the weed.
