Large areas of this weed pest have been found in Lane and Polk counties dead and dying appar ently from an attack of a fungus dis ease that strikes the stalks a little way below the surface of the ground. Under this attack the plants wilt, die and shrivel up. Cultures of the fungus have been made for H. P. Bares of the station and when prop erly identified will be used to in oculate healthy thistles with a view to wholesale destruction.
