Noxious Weed Invades Area What has been a stranger to Klamath county in the past, namely the St. John's wort, threatens to become more preva lent as considerable clumps have been discovered in this section. This weed is poisonous to white faced cattle. St. John's wort, sometimes called goat weed or Klamath weed, is found to a great extent in coast areas stretching from British Columbia to the Bay dis trict. Lately is has appeared in Poe valley, on the Crater lake road, and on Parker mountain, A low growing variety has also been found around Fort Klam ath but has not proven as serious and is being held in check. The weed never exists on cultivated land but usually grows along highways or in wasteland and pastures. It is a shrublike bush, three to four feet tall, with yellow blossoms.

S. department of agri culture is.asking the dinners of the nation for 32 per cent more seed of alsike clover than was harvested in 1U45, according to C. A. Henderson, county agricul turist. He said that this request is of particular interest to Ore gon because this state produces 20 per cent or more ot the na tional supply sometimes as much as a third. The seed is needed both for domestic use and for export to war-ravaged countries. This area will harvest about 7200 acres in. 1946 and will pro duce about 3,600,000 pounds ot alsike seed. To improve seed yield on each farm growers should do the fol lowing: 1. Provide at least a hive of bees for every acre of alsike. More bees the better. 2. Mow sweet clover or other plant attractive to bees if it is growing adjacent to roadsides, ditch banks, or fence rows. Make the bees concentrate upon the alsike. 3. Rogue from the seed fields weeds that have seed difficult to separate, especially bladder cam pion. To aid growers in harvesting every possible acre, the govern, men!, through the local l'MA organization, is paying a bonus of seven cents per pound (ol alsike seed, on small acreages1.
