Agency issues call to
eradicate weed
Weed warriors unite...
Puncturevine (goathead)
is sprouted and going to
seed.
If yo u h av e e v e r
stepped on a goathead in
your carpet, removed one
from a pet's foot, slid into
base on some, or repaired a
bicycle tire, you know how
painful and frustrating this
weed is.
Janet Greenup, Man
ager o f Morrow SWCD
and Morrow County Weed
Advisory Board, requests
walkers to keep their heads
down and report puncture-
vine sites to her at 676-
5452, ext. 109. Sites will be
mapped, and Greenup and
John Edmundson w ill work
to dispose of the offensive
plants.
Puncturevine is on the
Morrow County “ B" list
of weeds to control if at all
possible.
“ It's not a noxious
weed according to the ordi
nance,” says Greenup, “but
it is certainly obnoxious.”
