WILL HENDERSONVILLE
EXTERNINAE RAG WEED?
Cincinnati Physician Passes Tip to
Our TOwn-FOund 20 Specimens
in Monument Enclosure.

IL has been proved tnat the rag
weed, a weed with VIII ch everybody is
familiar. is the cause of hay fever and
in many cities campaigns have been
lnaugurated with a view of extermi-
mating the pest. In Asheville they
they have nearly succeeded in doing
away with the weed and consequently
hay fever victims living in that city
are no trouble to any great extent,
In our opinion and for the good Of
the city and the many visitors here
during the summer, at which time the
weed comes to maturity. some meas
ure of EXTERN. nation should be brought
about. To see so many of the weeds
here makes a bad impression upon
those afflicted with this annoying dis
ease and consequently they steer clear
next time.
A case of this kind happened here
recently. DR.. E. S. Mckee of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, a prominent physical and
hay fever victim, was visiting here,
and after leaving wrote the Hustler
as follows:
W sitting your town today l saw the
Confederate soldiers monument In
specting it l found the small encIos-
ure about it appropriately, possibly
unnecessarily, planted in forget-me-
nots. Among them / found twenty
specimens of the rag weed.
"Behg hay fever victim, at once
proceeded to uproot every one of them.
Asheville has almost killed the rag
weed from out her boundaries and
with it hay fever. Why not. beautiful
Hendersonville, too?"
These few words from the pen of
DR.. Mckee are passed along for the
thoughtful consideration of our town
authorizes and citizens. Like DR.. Nc
