A FEW WORDS ABOUT WEEDS.

most all the common weeds have bad
effect on the health of the community,
while weeds that are deadly poisons
are found in large number of cities

Henbane, or deadly nightshade, is
found in a few localities. Jimson weed
and purple thorn-apple are common in
most cities east Of the Mississippi Riv-
er. Their seeds, which are somewhat
attractive in appearance, are extreme
ly poisonous, and children are killed
every year by eating them. Nine cases
of fatal poisoning from this source were
reported to the Department of Agricul-

doubtless many less serious cases
which were not reported. Weeds also
harbor injurious insects and fungous
and bacterial diseases Of cultivated
plants.
