NOxious Weeds.

Now is the time to keep your
noxious weeds in check. The poi
son milk weed, morning glory,
white top and Canadian thistle are
just getting started in this county
and can easily be controlled if a
little effort on the part of those
having them is put forth. All of
these weeds spread with the roots
as well as the seeds so that it is
necessary to cut them out in order
to control them. Anyone with civic
pride will not allow himelf to be
the cause of these weeds becoming
a menace to the whole community.
Some of us are careless and let
them get a start before we are
aware of it. Consistent effort will
have to be put forth in order to
hold them in check. Cooperative
effort for a year or two will do
away with them.

The Grasshopper Situation.

Reports have come in that grass
loppers in many of the fields near
cedar, Parowan and Kanarra are
LONG considerable damage and UNI
ess some means of controlling
them is resorted to there will be
serious loss in the field crops this
year. Where cultivation was prac-
iced for grasshopper control IN
he spring, the hoppers are do
ing no noticeable damage and 1t IS
believed that cultivation will be the
chief means of holding the hop
pers in check in the future. At
present many of the farmers are
beginning to poison with bran
mash to save this years crop. This
method Of control can be made
very effective if handled right and
if all of the people in given To-
cality cooperate and poison the
hoppers. Anyone who wants poi
soned bran can get help with the
mixing of it by calling on the
county agricultural agent at Cedar.
