weeds Along Roadsfdes,

Some states that have laws that re-
ouire the removal or destruction of
weeds by the wayside roads are insisting
ON strict enforcement of the law. 1t
is a question whether the farmer or the
overseer of the highways or road COM
missioners should do the work of weed
destruction In some states railroads
are compelled by law to destroy all dan
gerous weeds under penalty. Roadsides
are a pregnant source for distributing
weed nuisances on farmers fields.

For PuIyerizing the Soil No Other
