"CHASE THE WEEDS" APPEAL FROM STATE Department of Agriculture at Spring, field Issues Statement Asking â€"Eradication To Help Grain ~ Crops Springfield, 111.â€"A campaign for the eradication of weeds on the farm, on vacant lots in the city and along the highways has been begun by the State , Department__oi_Agriculture through its Division of Seed Inspec- tion. In the statement issued this week by the department it is pointed out that unless farmers and city lot owners make greater efforts to de- 1 strpy weeds more drastic laws will have to be enacted covering this sub- ject. . The statement says: "Owners and occupants of property have a duty to perform in keeping all weeds from growing to maturity and thus prevent their spreading by pro- ducing seed. It is a duty they owe themselves arid their neighbors be- cause there is nothing which detracts from the beauty of any surroundings more than these unsightly, good.for nothing weeds. People who allow their property to become over-run with weeds cannot be very much in- terested in the welfare of their neigh- bors or themselves, because weeds not only damage the crops of the neighbor who is striving to produce clean seed that will bring the top price and keep his place looking respectable, but they lower the value of the property on which they are allowed to grow. *. Indication of Thrift "The absence of weeds in different communities throughout this state is very noticeable and is an indication that Jhe people who live theâ„¢ ar» thrifty and are desirous of having clean surroundings in which to live and enjoy themselves. It may seem idle talk at this time to advocate the destruction of weeds so that greater yields of grain may be obtained per acre while prices for farm products are so low, but econ- omical production must be kept in mind because no farmer,cares to ex- pend his time and money in the pro- duction of unprofitable crops. Weeds have no value, yet the production of Speaking of Rugs House-cleaning time is here. Now is ^re-timetphuveyourRurgsand-Caf^ pets cleaned and repaired.
