LAWS REGARDING OBXOXIOrS
v WEEDS SPECIFIC.
Turner Oliver Deals With Question of
Weeds Throughout County -
To the Editor:
The law of this state regarding the
extirpation of noxious weeds is be
ing so flagrantly violated In Union
county and especially Vi the city of
La Grande that I think the attention
of the people ought to be called to the
matter. Certain noxious weeds have
got such a start in this state that they
are causing millions of dollars worth
of damage, to the people and unless
all the people act together there can
be no hope of ever getting rid of
these weeds. For that' season the
legislature in 1907 passed an act
which will be found at pages 322 to
325 of the General Laws of Oregon
for that session. Of this act the fol
lowing is a brief epitome: Section I
makes It the duty of each road super-
there are in his road district any Rift-'
sian thistle, Canadian thistle, Chinese
thistle, (Chinese lettuce), white mus
tard, dagger cockleburr or silver hal;
bush, and If he finds any such plants
in his road district he must notify the
Owners of the land before the plant
sheds its bloom or commences to form
seed, by serving notice upon" the own
er or occupant of the land and if there
Is no occupant, by posting up notices
upon the premises. He shall then
make his return to tho county clerk,
showing notice posted or served. If
the owner Bhall fail after three days
notice to completely remove and des
troy said weeds it shall be the duty
of the road supervisor to go upon the
premises with hired assistance and
etirpate front the land, all such weeds
and file the bill for his services with
the county clerk, who will report the
same to the county court and -the
county court will pay for the services
out of the county treasury and charge
the expenses up to the land as a lien
against the land the same as taxes,
and the land can be sold to satisfy
this Hen. The road supervisor shall
receive for,, such services $3.00 per
day for the time actually employed.
Section 6 makes it a misdemeanor
for any person to knowingly allow
any Russian thistle, Canada thistle,
Chinese thistle, white mustard,-dagger
cockleburr or silver belt bush t
stand until It sheds its bloom and be
gins to form seed on any lands owned
by him or under his control whether
improved or unimproved, enclosed or
unenclosed, and subjects such person
to a fine of not to exceed $30.00 for
the first offense and not to exceed
$100 for each subsequent offense nud
gives the Justice of the peace jurisdic
tion to impose the fines. .
Section 7 makes it the duty of each

The Golden Rule
road supervisor to extirpate all these
weeds from tha mnntv rnniln wlthtn
their respective road districts, and
section 8 imposes a fine " not to ex
ceed $150 for each offense of the road
supervisor in failing to perform this
duty. '' : :
Section 9 makes it the duty .of ail
municipal corporations In the state to
exterminate these weeds within the
corporation and imposes a fine of not
more than $500 upon each municipal
corporation for the offense, of allow
ing any of these weeds to grow within
the corporation. This fine to he recov
ered in a suit against the city by the
county in. which the city is located.
Notwithstanding the stringent a. -.d
wholesome provisions of this statute,
only a few of the road supervisors are
paying any attention to It and their
work is being rendered useless by the
failure of the rest. Nearly all these
weeds exist in Union county, but the
worst pest here, is the white mustard
which was brought In and distributed
along the railroad right of way by the
cars and was allowed to seed because
people did not know what it was. It
is a thrifty plant; each weed bearing
upwards of 200,000 seeds. As soon as
it. ripens It breaks off at the ground
and is rolled by the wind like a tum
ble weed for many miles scattering
Its seeds In its track. There are solid
fields of this plant around La Grande
and enough of It going to seed within
the corporate limits to destroy , the
crop of a state. It has already
dropped its bloom and In many places
the Beeds are now mature. There is
now enough of it ripening on the sug
ar company's grounds at La Grande
to seed a whole county, notwithstand
ing the work being done by the road
supervisors in the central part of the
county. There Is enough of it along
the railroad company's right of way
within' two miles of La Grande, to
destroy the crops In all parts of
Grande Ronde valley, but I am pleas
ed to notice that the railroad company
Is cutting this plant on a part of Its
right of way but ought to do It the
rest. Between the court house and Ad
ams avenue In La Grande, enough
of this plant is going to seed to ruin
many of the surrounding farms, while
the O'Connor tract In the eastern part
of this city Is maturing enough of
this seed to cover Union and Wallowa
counties. The plant Itself Is useless
for any known purpose. It will grow
anywhere that the seed may be drop
ped, whether In the cultivated field
or the rocky hillside, and the ripened
plant will roll anywhere that the
wind carries It. Then why not every
body observe this law and extermin
ate these pests? It will take a tre
mendous effort but all must act to
gether If the good end is ever accom
plished and Is the city neglects this
matter longer, it Is the duty of the
public officials to prosecute both the
municipality and the careless land
owners within the same. A few vig
orous prosecutions would probably
have a wholesome effect, but In the
prosecutions let It te borne in mind
that the corporations are subject to
the same penalties as the individuals.
Yours very truly, '
