NEGLECT OF RAGWORT
MORRINSVILLE DISTRICT [from our own correspondent] MORRINSVILLE, Tuesday That too many settlers iu the Morrinsville district were neglecting to deal with odd ragwort plants now in full bloom near their road frontages and homesteads was the opinion expressed by a member of the Morrinsville branch of the Earmers' Union who had motored to Morrinsville today. On his own farm he found there were many times more ragwort plants than in previous seasons, and the task of dealing with the weed before it seeded was becoming increasingly difficult. Judging from what he could see from the road, many farmers were just not bothering to pull up and burn the flowering ragwort plants.
