-Hayfeyer victims are having a
much harder time this season than
usual, due to the unusually heavy
growth of rag weed. We should like
to suggest to the victims OF this dis
ease that they combine their forces
and bring some pressure to bear upon
our Iowa legislature in the hope that
some means be devised to punish
severely every land owner who will
permit rag weeds to go to seed on
his premises. No doubt some OF the |
suffering which many of our people |
undergo each season might be avoid
ed if persons were more careful about
kepeing weeds from going to seed. |
