Another Warning

+ notice that the Russian thistle
Is getting scattered along the
lanes and roads leading out from
town ard the railroad. and as
have seen much of this most
prolific, worthless and pestiferous
weed, ! thought it my duty, as
well as my wish for the welfare
OF the country, 10 give another
warning and suggestion to the
people of the country.
The Russian thistle as well as
many other noxious weeds are
being scattered all along the rail
road track and allowed to mature
seed and from there are being
scattered over the country. es-
pecially along roads and lanes.
If the railroad companies are in
terested. as they claim 10 be, in
the welfare of the farmers. they
should try % prevent this, as
much So as possible at least.
Then the farmers and people of
the country in general should try
90 destroy all those weeds along
the roads and lanes, and this is
the easiest way 20 prevent them
from spreading over the farms.
Just a little work along the roads
and lanes now, before the seeds
mature and while there are just
a few scattering weeds. will do
more good than many times that
much time and work later on.
When they get beyond control
you'll get scared. A little scare
now is better than a big scare
when too late.
This is a matter that should
concern all. Let's all swat" the
Russian thistle. AS to its being
good for hay - that's all stuff. |.
don't believe any stock will eat
it at all. unless it is while it is
very young and tender and be-
fore the hard, sharp points form
and after they form they will
surely harden. Its no good. is
very bad and wonderfully pro-
ific and the time TO fight it is
