and others present, stated the purposes
of the new law and the manner in
which to go about to enforce it. He
explained sections of the law which
were not entirely clear to the local in
spectors and in this. connection called
attention to the fact that the univer-
sity extension division, which has al
ways co-operated in movements of this
kind, but which has not had any regu-
lation power, is given such powers
under the new law relating to the Grad
ication of noxious weeds.

county gave talk on the eradication
of weeds. He said that in Clay county,
a weed inspector had been employed
for some time before this law was en-.
acted, with decided success. He told

Valley, where the situation is really the
worst. From there, he said, the noxious
weeds are rapidly spreading in a
southeasterly direction.
