Johnson Grass, is n Tronblesome Gross and Ev-
ery Precaution Shull Be Use! Against it
The following from iJon. Gid
G aham, candidate for the state
Senate, is worthy of your con-
sideration.
“I see considerable Johnson
Grass along the railroads in this
and Nowata counties, and I wish
once more to warn all farmers
and land owners against this in-
sidious grass, which if it once
gains a foot hold on your lands
you will have the time of your life
to ever get rid of it. Plowing
It up a foot deep in August and

joints and if there is a joint left
in the ground it rapidly springs
up and grows again. Our first

this grass passed stringent laws
against its spreading or going to
seed where growing. Our peo-

menace it is to their lands, but

negligence it gains a foothold
and land on which it grows will
be worth about one-fourth as
much as the same class of laud
sells for free from this pest. Ful
ly one half of the people do not
know what Johnsongrassis when
they see it. If you will look
along the railroad right of way

coarse tall grass, with seed on
resembling the finest of cane
seed and if the lands are rich
this grass will attain a height of
four to six feet. Those farmers
along the railroads are the ones
most exposed to the spread of
inis grass. It is your duty to
