NOXIOUS, WEEDS.

The fines inflicted < by< the Stipendiary Magistrate, on; Saturday last upon two farmers who had permitted blackberry and ragwort to remain upon their land after repeated warnings from the inepectpr. trnder the Noxious

Weeds Act should have a salutary effect. At first thought the penalties seem to be^ severe, *but;'the" offence of permitting the pesis> itb^grow without making, the most vigorous~efforts to check .{&u>m is fraught with such dangerous, consequences to the whole district that Mr Stanford was fully justified' in dealing severely with the cases brought before him, especially under the circumstances detailed by the witnesses for the prosecution. On Monday, we were able to see for ourselves great, risk the district is running'^-through the neglect of land occupiers to keep down noxious weeds. We passed" ? through ;;a^ Blo'uca"ti;o^|rfi- 7 , serve * leased by a"6arefur farmer,^wh6 informed us that a great deal of his time between milking* hours is now taken. up^with_searching for and eradicating stray plants 0f., , .blackberry and ragwort. v ¥et c . uponj- jihe side of the boundary ♦Mbe of 1 'his P«%n*Jx[3 iWJithMgit aft^emßfc^ cheqk; ii&Vva. croacfiing; /[tiwjotigKj. d ttei?4 boundaryfence, while:; thb liir44 frPm t , ci&ejVffiUgl tvyi'%hp <S!£^r.
