lie Health Service

The actual number of hay fever
producing weeds is large and any
weed growing in great profusion and
with an abundance of wind borne
pollen possibly has its quota of hay
fever victims.
One OF the chief offenders is the
common rag weed. sometimes known
as ambrosia, or Roman wormwool.
because its leaves resemble those of
the NORWOOD. The rag weed is an
annual with leaves much cut and
thin. 1t has spikes of green flow
ers at the end Of the branches. 1t
is found along road sides and in dry
places, especially in fields that have
been neglected after crop of wheat,
rye or oats has been harvested in
early summer. 1t grows from one
to five feet in height and blooms
from August to October or ikte1. l.
is Il native of America, is found in
the dry soils from Nova Scotia to
Florida and west to British Column
bia and Mexico. 1t is. however. COM
rarativcly rare and local west of
Kansas.
Other Offenders Are:
Giant rag weed. a tall, unsightly
weed, also called the horsc-wccd. 1t
grows from six to fifteen feet in
height with rough hairy stem
The lower leaves are deeply parted
with separate margins. 1t is com
mon in most soils from Quebec to
Florida and west to Nebraska, Col
orado. and New Mexico. In the moist
land, near the Gulf Coast, it forms
about 80 per cent of all the rag
weeds.
Western rag weed. Il perennial
weed, growing from two to six feet
in height, from running root stocks
| thicker and stoutcr than the com
mon rag weed, covered with loose
shaggy hairs and thick leaves. This
is the common form Of rag weed il
Louisiana and in the prairie coun
try. In the west it generally re
places the common rag weed.
False NORWOOD grows from tw,
! t" three feet in height with sinai
white flowers resembling tiny cauli
| flowers. 1t is almost always il
| bloom and may. therefore. cause hay
fever at any season Of the year. i
is very common along the street!
and sidewalks and in vacant cit,
lots. Its leaves closely rcscmbl,
those Of the common rag weed, bu
it can easily be distinguished by tn,
small white flowers. 1t grows i,
Florida and from Alabama to Texas

-FABLES ON HEALTH--
COMMON RAG WEED is ONE or
CHIEF OFFENDERS

The dangerous season is from Janu-
AIRY to December.
Marsh Elder. an annual, growing
from three to six feet high, with Il
rough, hairy stem and small, nod
ding rrcenish- white head Of flow
crs. The marsh elder grows in moist
ground and wet places. 1t is com
mon from Nebraska TO Louisiana. in
Texas and New Mexico. The danger
season is from August to November.
There is also Il western elder. Il west
ern plant, which grows from watcry.
creeping root stocks, with stems or
branches nearly simple, foot or
two high. This elder usually grows
in sandy. saline soil.
"Carc!css weed" a smooth branch
cd annual. with reddish stem and
leaves Of a dull green. The flowers
arc small. grcenish- yellow in color.
and crowded in close. The "carc
less" weed spreads widely and grow>
from three to six feet in height. J.;
is found generally on waste ground
or in empty ground that has been
cultivated. 1t is Il menace from
April to December.
Cookie bur is Il coarse annual, with
branching stems. The fruit consists
Of Il rough hurr with usually two
curved bcaks covered with pricklcs
stra ght tipped or hooked. It grows
from two to six feet high and is
found usually in rich soil. especial
~ in moist places. 1t is dangerous
from June to December.
There is another western plant.
found in Minnesota, Saskatchewan
and the southwest which is also dan
gerous. This is the false rag weed
which is rough. often covered with
grayish hair with leaves much di~
vidcd. The false rag weed is armed
with spncs in more than one series.
These are long and flattcncd. The
tip is usually straight, the whole
head resembles pear.
And last but not least on this list
we note the yellow dock. a coarse
| herb with small unsighuy grccniSh-
| brown flowers which grows from.
two to three feet i'm height. The
| leaves are strongly vcincd. with
| curlcd margins.
In addition to these weeds it
should be remembered that certain
grasses are on the hay fever black
list. They are abundant. wind pol
linatcd, with insignificant flowers,
and an abundance Of pollen. They
begin to pollinatc in May and are
one Of the most common causes oc
hay fever commencing ut that season.
Some Of the common varieties Of
hay fever producers are timothy.
johnson grass, canary grass and
| smut grass.

the sense that it has been "rrovcd'

that tho sum Of the angles in tri-

But if that is what they mean by
"provcd" what about the doctrine

4 Profitable Example
For All Good Causes

Just this restraint. IN not know
ing what is not known, is the su-
prcmc moral value Of scientific train
ing. and Of the scientific method.
1t would be we'll for the disciples Of
other good causes to emulate tins
virtue.
For instance, when the question Of
approving biological text books was
before the California State Board Of
Education. certain clerical opponent,
charged that students in California
high schools had been notified that
they could not graduate unless they
believed in evolution. Challenged t."
specify. it turned out that they had
not taken the pains to verify their
evidence. and did not know whether
their charge was true or false.
This rccklcssn"ss Of unvcrlflch
statement is exactly what would not
hc tolerated j.: any scientific inquiry.
Scientific trimming inculcatcs at
least intellectual integrity. It is a
moral virtue which would also adorn
the practice Of law, politics and tho
ology.

NOW AND HOW
Eat What You Csn.-Csn What You
 Can't

Eat your fll of sweet corn now and can all that is left for siuter use. l is the advice sent out by the State 1 Department of Agriculture. For the i first time in many years corn has struck new low level and housewives l are urged to do their canning now while the price is low and the quality good. 4 two-fold reason for canning now is pointed out by the Department, ! first the price is low and secondly the season for canning fruits and making of iellies will be here in a short time.
 Tn the past, corn has been consid- cred hard vegetable to can. but now after information sent out by the Extension Service and their canning demonstrations, marked success is be- ing reaped by nearly all those who can. according to reports given out of last years results.
 One of the popular recipes for canning corn in the state sent out by the Extension Service is as follows Can corn the same day as picked Remove husks and silk. Blanch on the cob in boiling water from five to ten minutes and then plunge corn quickly into cold water The next operation is to cut the corn from cob and pack in jar. then add one tea- spoonful of salt to every quart and sufficient hot water to fll jar. Place rubber and top in position and seal partially but not tight The jars are then sterilized for fS0 minutes in hot water bath outfit after which they are removed. tops frightened joints tested and then wrapped in paper and stored for later use. Corn canned by this method retains it's color. flavor and vet takes but very little time 10 nut up, according to department bulletin.
