But the time had arrived when XII

The Most Dangerous In

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. I

ST. Paul. March 16.-There are more
than $50 varieties of weeds which
hamper TO some extent the work of
farmers and gardeners, N. ]. Holm
berg, state commissioner of agricul-
ture, announced today.
or this number more than thirty
varieties or species are considered as
decided pests and are classified as
noxlous by the agricultural depart
ment, Mr.. Holmberg said The other
weeds. although retarding the growth
OF crops, are easily weeded out and
do not materially effect the production
OF any given farm. however, giving the
farmer considerable trouble to keep
his land clear
Sow Thistle and Quack Grass Most
Dangerous
Of the thirty species which are con-
sldered a decided menace to the pro-
duction of Minnesota crops, the sow
tnlstie and quack grass are considered
which wos imported from Canada is
fastly moving southwark from the
northwestern section of the state
where it is creating a problem for the
producers and unless check is made
by the farmers, the weed will be
found to infest the entire safe in sew
eral years. Each year the area which
is covered by this noxious growth is
equal to the area of the states lar
est counties.
The work of eradication, which con
slsts OF rotation and thorough culti-
Vation, must be done in communities,
as the work is of no benefit if done by
individual farmers, on their respectiya
lands. Mr.. Holmberg said The era
diction must be widesweeping to be-
come effective.
Quack Grass Statewide
Quack grass, which is statewide. is
also creating considerable difficulty
to the producer, but is more easily
eradicated than the thistle. Thorough
cultivation of lands will quickly make
this weed disappear from the land.
Other noxious weeds growing in the
state are: Canada thistle; Russian
thistle; tumbling mustard and toad
flax; wild mustard; hare's ear must
ard: wild oats: French weed or stink
weed; false fax: giant or dwarf
weed: blue burr: blue lettuce; cock
leburr: burdock; oxeye daisy: white
daisy: snapdragon; sour dock; yellow
dock: barberry bush and couch or
quack grass and kinghead.
A bill providing for the appointment
of state weed inspector by the COM
missioner of agriculture, to help clean
the Minnesota farms of these pests, is
Tow before the legislature.

The Hague. March 16.-Reaedrs of
the Dutch and other European news
papers these days frequently get the
idea that various state legislatures
in the United States are conducted
along the lines of slapstick comedies.
Each bit Of freak legislation,
whether introduced with serious in
tent or merely to cause a laugh,
which emanates from these various
state governing bodies, Is printed
with all seriousness on this side of
the Atlantic. :.
If sesator in a state legislature
decides to make the bill of a political
opponent appear ridiculous by intro
ducing another along the same lines
that goes the opponents one better
and Is utterly preposterous, the pur-
port OF the bill Is cabled abroad by

Most Americans Lawmakers Crazy
These dispatches are generally
featured or played up in the Euro

are convinced, by the dispatches they
receive, that most Americans law.
makers are crazy.
The fact that these measures are
merely introduced and have little il
any possibility OF passing, is seldom
