DANGEROUS WEED Is
GETTING m GOOD START

The perennial peppergrass. Of
white-topped weed - It Is locally
known, has made its appearance here
in Rio Grande County in a number
OF places. In some parts of the val.
ley. this weed has practically taken
whole tracts Of land. Being a per.
ennial, the root grows from year to
year: and the plant Is also propa.
gated by means OF the seed which
somewhat resembles sweet clover
seed.
The leaves Of the plant are q very
deep green in color. are about one
half to three-fourths inches In width
and an inch or two in length. the
plant itself being ten to twelve
inches in height and surmounted
with a cluster OF small white flow
ers.
In addition to the fibrous roots.
this plant has very rapid growing
root stalk which is sent out horizon
tally in different directions from the
plant and a few inches beneath the
surface. each joint of which root
stalk will send up shoots for new
plant.
Combating this pest is no easy
matter, but IL is safe to say that
any method whereby the foliage is
not permitted to show above ground
for long period will smother out
the roots. Spraying or chopping off
the tops once every week or so, fore
ing sheep to eat the tops by herd
ing them on infested areas, or any
other effective measure may be
used; but whatever measures are
used, do not allow the foliage to ap-
pear above the surface for any
length OF time as the leaves will be
storing up nourishment in the roots
and thus und0ing all that you have
thus far accomplished. Any plant
can in time be destroyed by simply
keeping the foliage destroyed there
by smotherinE or starving the root

passed through many hands. 1t was
the residence of Mr.. Robert Dodge
while the large house Immediately TO
| the north. now occupied by Mr.. and
| Mrs. Eliot Wadsworth. was being
| constructed for the Dodge family. 1t
Is the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert

tally afforded an ideal setting for
the collection of interesting and
| beautiful family treasures loaned TO
| the Goucher Alumnae by their Wash
| ington and Georgetown friends.
Among the most Interesting relies
| shown were Staffordshire tureen
and platter over II century old. an
