| forenoon Mr.. LunZ of the State De
partment of Agriculture discussed
the legal duties of the Weed Commits
sioners explaining carefully the
State Weed Law and the sending of
| notices. A committee was appointed
consisting of Fred Smith, River
Falls; Theo. Swanson, Hartland, and
w. II. Richards of Gilman to draw
up resolution to be presented at
the next session of the Legislature.
After dinner the committee pre-
scented the following resolution that
the Weed Law be revised in regard
to the following points. First, that
the compensation for cutting noxi-
Gus weeds be not less than $500 or
or more than $500 per day. Second,
that the present system of sending
notices be simplified and revised.
Third, provision be made relative to
the law for the enforcement relating
to cleaning of grain separators and
transportation of hay and grain
along public highways. Fourth, we
recommend a more uniform enforce
ment of the weed control in the
state. A number of different weeds
were collected and named, and eradi-
cation of same discussed. The pur-
chasing of seeds from reliable seed
houses was also discussed. 1t was
recommended that We hold a similar
meeting next year and that we set
one or two days for Weed Days in
which everybody should try to cut
their weeds. The County Agricul-
tural Agent was instructed to send a
letter to all school clerks to be read
at the annual meeting meeting ask
ing for cooperation in regard to
eradication of weeds in Pierce
County.
Mr.. Hayes, Poultry Specialist, from
the College of Agriculture plans to
be in this county from August IL to
Is to hold Poultry Culling Demon
strations. We have a few requests
for these demonstrations now, but
can hold few more. So anyone in
the county desiring to have one held
in the community, should let me
know soon so the schedule can be ar
ranged.

the county which the tester signed
UP all of his own members without
any help, and it is one of the strong
est associations in the county. The
Spring Valley association held a
meeting Wednesday evening in re-
gard to the matter of purchasing
feed. A committee was appointed to
watch feed prices and when they
were considered right to call another
meeting for the ordering of the feed.

are ten members in this club and
they plan to hold meetings once a
month until their projects are finish
ed. All members are in calf club
work. 1t would be very fine to have
other clubs in other parts of the
county organized as this one is, if
some one in the community would
volunteer to act as leader. No furth-
er Club Enrollments will be accepted
after July LIST.
