(AP) Stacks of weeds are like money In tha bank this year for drought-hit farmers In the tr.lddle west. The Russian thistle, a prickly bush that never rated better than a snarl from farmers In normal years, Is get ting more attention now In some lo calities than a farm crop. Am a mat ter of fact, in those places the thistle la the only crop. On his own Initiative, the dirt farmer started to pull or cut the thistles for preservation In stacks and silos. Then came word from agricultural experts that the thistles actually were good fodder. If nothing better offered. and would nearly equal straw In feed ing value. Thjtr protein content, like that of all vegetation grown In drought, Is 'airly high. The Nebraska agricultural college advises they should be supplemented with a pro Win concentrate, like any hay.
