SUNFLOWERS AS RANK WEEDS
In Nebraska They Fairly Dwarf the
Tall Corn,

Tall Corn.
In Nebraska the weeds grow higher
than the corn, and the corn is tail enough
to wave above the head of the tallest
man you know. They are not, strictly
speaking, weeds at all, but they choke all
other growing things out of all the va
cant lots. They are sunflowers, tail
coarse, rank stalks, with vivid flowers
which streak the prairies between the
Nebraska towns with yellow for miles
at a time.
There is a tradition that the Mormons
scatter sunfower seed when they Travelled
to the West, and gave to Nebraska a
weed which, if it is a trifle more pictur-
esque than the mild little growths which
infest our vacant lots, is infinitely more
