CANADIAN THISTLE
MENACE IS REAL
Farmers and stockmen are prone
to take the menace of the Canada
thistle too lightly. Many parts of
the Willamette valley are of this nox­
ious weed. Talking the other day
about the spread of thiB curse, a
farmer of the Willamette valley who

county was fast becoming seeded to
that baleful gift of our Canadian
cousins, and that within 10 years it
would be rooted in every part of the
coast section. The speaker said thiit

vate them out, and then there is al­

court has appointed supervisors of
roads to look after the thistle law,
