That question plant Utah State sounds absurd yet University extension Agent Nyle Matthews notes that many of the weed infestations in Utah can be traced directly to the planting of crop seed containing weed seeds He pointed out that weed seeds are carried onto a farm by wind water animals machinery and by planting them with crop seed Apparently only a small percentage of weed seeds brought in by the first of these methods ever grow and develop But weed seeds that are planted in seedbeds along with crop seed have an ideal chance tq establish themselves In a survey conducted by USU Extension Agronomist Louis Jensen samples of grain seed were collected from farmers' drill boxes and analyzed One of these samples contained five different kinds of noxious weeds These were carefully counted and showed the following numbers of noxious weeds per 100 pounds of grain seed: 149400 wild oats 8200 Binweed (Morning GloryJ 8800 Poverty Weed 800 That and 400 Nightshade makes a total of 167600 noxious weed seeds in 100 pounds of grrln! Calculating this on a basis of 125 pounds of grain seed planted per acre (the amount the farmer said he was planting) it would average five noxious weed seeds being planted on each square foot of the field Obviously there is no question about the serious weed problem that could result evenif only a fraction of these weed seeds germinated The state seed law requires that all seed offered for sale be tested and carry a tag or label in showing certain information cluding any weed seeds Under the law no seeds of the prohibited weed list are permitted in crop seed The prohibited group includes our

growers only afford a certain amount per acre for the seed but often they use excessive planting rates Generally they would be much better off to plant less seed per acre of a high quality Many

grass in high school It was All my friends very simple were smoking it and one of them asked me if I had and I told him ‘No’ He asked me if I wanted to try it and I guess I must have said not? ‘Why Everybody else is doing it’ "I smoked that first joint as sort of a gesture looking for in my life that something And seemed to be missing then it seemed so easy to go on to the others— LSD barbiand other mescaline turates hallucinogenic drugs but thank God no heroin" Steve was arrested for a narcotics law violation while he was a student at St Petersburg Fla Now off drugs completely and looking forward to parole and going back to college he is one of the lucky ones His experience with drugs starting with marijuana points out the utter folly of the argument that marijuana should be legalized VETERANS DISABLED BY INJURY OR DISEASE WHILE IN ACTIVE SERVICE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR COMPENSATION Another who has found the way back from drug addiction and the miseries which accompany it is Gary R now serving a year prison term in Pennsylvania for crimes committed while he was an addict “I Here is Gary’s story: had been taking drugs steadily for two years and I had gotten to the point where drugs were all It was that meant anything as if something evil had attacked my head so that I I was sure was going insane Not My thinking was twisted my own I would go into spells of deep depression” While addicted to drugs Gary met a girl named Wendy They started to live together though they were unmarried “I he continues “Finally” got so bad I couldn’t care so I for her any more took her home Her Mom is a and I’ll Christian never forget the night I brought Wendy home Her Mom just took us both in her arms and held us and cried and gave thanks to the Lord Her prayers That had been answered the Lord night I accepted “Wendy and I are now marGod for thank How ried the new life we now have in Jesus” Freedom from Bondage Though he is in prison Gary now has a freedom — and an inner peace — that he did not have while he was free to walk where he wished — but in bondage to drugs He has proved true the Biblical statement “He whom the Son makes free shall be free indeed" There is hope for the drug
