Abas leMoratn Glorjl lYrhups the farmers of the Wes ton country would do well to keep an eye on the morning glory, which is said to Ih a far from glorious proMition when it gets started. A. F. Alexander of ttp-to-The-Timcs mngasine remarks: "Morning glories are getting a fine foothold in many arU of tin country. I am traveling around a good deal, and I know. Just ask Governor Miles 0. Moore or Hob and they will corroborate my state ment, as they have had a big fight against morning glory on some 200 acre. If wheat were as hard to kill as the morning glory the world would never die of starvation." Mr. Alexander tells the Leader that Weston Is by no means immune from this pest, and that he has set n quite a lot of it in this vicinity. The Up-to-The-Times says in its current iswue: "Mr. Tassey Stewart, Milton, prominent farmer of Umatilla coun ty, has killed the morning glory patches on his grain farm near He lix by the application of blue vitriol brine. Mr. Stewart believes the morning glory is a menace; let alone and allowed to make head way, it will soon destroy the value of a farm. All farmers should make it their business to distroy it."
