of these commissioners will be author
lied to appoint at least two deputies

missioners and E. G. Parizek, county
agent, will hold afternoon and even
ing meetings to encourage farmers to
prevent the sow thistle from bloom
ing e:r
the meeting was that those who could
not summer-fallow infested land.
should fence it and pasture with
sheep. Efforts will be made to get
the farmers to sign pledges to prevent
the blossoming of any sow thistle on
their land, and absent landlords will
be urged to share the expenses with
the tenants of effective control pract-
ices. The county commissioners are
to make a special effort to see that
sow thistle is not allowed to bloom
along county roads, drainage bitches
and river banks, and to see further
that the authorities in towns and viii
lagos keep the weed from blossominp
on vacant lots and around the out
skirts. Weed commissioners are to
be appointed and detailed plans made
