I'rof. Craig read a paper on "Some
Oregon Weeds." He said the farmer
must lie able to recognise the enemies
of hit crops and wage continual warfare
against them. Weeds, insects and fun
una irrowlh are the worst enemies that
besot the agriculturist and a thorough
knowledge of their habits is esential
the wav in which they scatter them
selves, tho amount of Injury they do,
and the way to exterminate them.
They a scattered from place to pluce
bv nature's agonUt, and by the careless
ncHH ofnian. Itailroads, ships, and
packing trains are agents In spreading
new kinds. Tlie Canadian thistle is
one ol the most dreaded, on account of
its two-fold power of propagation both
by seed and 'roots.
There was a discussion on new woods.
