 Nearly every year brings some nov city in plant or insect to make life interesting to the tiller of the soil. This year, a weed which has proved a troublesome pest in other parts of Connecticut and in Massachusetts is becoming quite conspicuous in Union mowings and pastures. This plant is the orange hawkweed. A few years ago when it was first found here, it's showy orange flowers seemed very at tractive, but, like the thistle, the seed Is carried by the wind and spreads very rapidly. Last year the New Eng land Homestead warned farmers to be on the watch for the hawkweed. Flowing and cultivation, or where this is not possible, gathering and burning the flowers will help to erad- 1cate the pest. It is surprising how much can be done when the children take hold of such important work as rldding their home farms of wild car rot, dock, this haWkweed, and other troublesome plants. It is also sur pr1slng how much harm farmer can do to his own land, and to adjoining farms, if he harhOrs such weeds year after year and makes no honest effort to get rid of them.
