We draw the line when we come to
the Apple Grove school house and close
our eyes to keep from seeing the par
snips and other filthy weeds that have
literally taken the school yard and
roadside.
A very commendable example which
recommends itself to every farmer
adjacent to the road mas been set by
our farmer friend Abram Elliott, who
has vowed to exterminate all weeds
along the roadside of his farm. Par
snips as thick as they could stand have
been pulled up and literally destroyed.
The good example has been followed
by some of his neighbors and we hope
it will be followed by others.
