Leth Warns
Polk Farmers
Of Weed Pest
DALLAS Extension of a seri
ous weed pest, tansy ragwort, has
been noted in Polk county. County
Agent W. C. Leth reports. Farm
ers who find it for the first time
should destroy plants and seed
heads to prevent further spread
ing, Leth warns.
This seed is poisonous to live
stock when eaten. The weed ' is
most dangerous when cut in hay.
It is not readily eaten by live
stock In the growing state. The
seed has a bright yellow - flower
that, in fields, ' sometimes re
sembles St John's wort and other
wise known as Eola weed and
goat weed. The foliage part of the
plant is heavier and the "blooms
are a bright yellow and can be
seen at considerable distance. The
plants vary in height from about
two feet to over four with most-l
of them being about three feet
tall at blooming time.
Any strange plant growing on
a farm should be destroyed rather
than perpetuated until its true
identity is known. Had farmers
followed this in the past, we
would have many less pests to
day, Leth pointed out.,
In order to effect complete con
trol of the weed, it is necessary
to destroy the whole plant, in
cluding the root system, as the
plant Is a perennial and will, grow
for several years from the same
root Spraying with sodium ar
senate : or - other weed killing
chemicals will also control the
weed although spraying with
these chemicals Is also dangerous
where livestock are found. Live
stock should be kept out of such
sprayed areas.
