O.K., if farmers actually want to control weeds in McHenry county it can be done and easier than we think. , The farmers and weeds and gambling and police work about the same way. They say gambling can flourish only if police turn deaf ear and very carefully choose what they see or don't see. Some way with weeds. If farmers don't want to see them they grow. 1 presented the idea of taking advantage of the state law which provides for a county weed 90mmissiouer, a man trained in weed control methods and with deputy power. to work with farmers, railroads, and highway officials in the county. As time passes it will become more important that we do a more efficient job of production because the population is increase ing at a rapid rate. The most important thing we could do in the county today to increase production would be to kill weeds. They reduce the corn yield in the county at least twenty bushels per acre on. the average. _ v More corn should bo checked so that, It could . be . cultivated crossways. This would increase the yield by at least five bushels per acre over the county. I wonder if farmers in this area know that there are absolutely no weeds at all in most of the corn iji central Illinois we hear about that yields over 100 bushel. 1 have spent hours with a hoe at home as a kid looking^ for the few that did survive cultivating. Unimproved Worn out S.F.A. & E. pastures serve as nurseries for weeds that scatter all over the farm. The cows eat the grass in to the ground s\nd weeds come up instead. Right today all over the county we have a shameful number of old run-down pastures where the weeds stand as monuments to either the farmers' ignorance of the productive capacity he is losing or it shows his downright unneighborilness toward other farmers in the community who are trylai to control weeds. A county weed commissioner has the power to go in and cut weeds he has previously asked the farmer to* cut and charg^ him for it I understand it takes twenty- five signatures per ^township to install the coontjr weed coimisaioner. v The "ag" committee of the county board will soon have the 463>e.
