(UPI) you know, the street hustle," said Husain, 38. "Some of my friends have gone on from here and done very well." He hopes for a hearing this spring that will lead him to a future in horticulture. Each inmate in the program praises its tranquilizing effect and Husain, former Detroit street n hustler, admires a split leaf with more tenderness than he ever lavished on an philo-dendro- greenback. Husain, serving life for armed robbery at the State Prison of Southern Michigan, is one of 57 k students in a program called Horticulture Center, administered by Jackson Community College. Seven graduates have so far found jobs in industry. All have kept their records clean and some are making more money than graduates of conventional colleges. Har-droc- the quick gratification from seeing something grow. "When you understand how plants and people interact in the cycle of life you feel better about yourself," Husain said. "This is the greatest thing since Norman Vincent Peale to me as far as positive thinking and making my self useful." Marion Jones, 41, a former minister and youth worker, looks at a tray of young plants, reflectively. "Plants show you their appreciation and affection by growing," said Jones, who is serving five to "I call everybody mister," said. "It's my way of Lak-amows- ki showing respect for them (inmates) and I'm repaid in many ways." One former student already has been promoted from foreman of a landscape crew to purchasing agent at his firm. The prison horticulture classroom is a former chicken coop. The greenhouse is from salvage rebuilt by inmates. Prisoners started nearly all of the plants from cuttings. Students may earn an associate degree in a program, including the academic studies required of any junior college years for involuntary "My mother talked to 15 .nan-slaughte- r. plants.

Chase particularly calls attention to four weeds that now threaten to cause serious problems: yellow starthistle, spotted and diffuse knapweed, jointed goatgrass, and dyers woad. Yellow starthistle, a move-i- n from Idaho, has been found in four or five counties, and a program must be mounted to keep it from spreading to others. It has a pretty flower but devastating consequences, being poisonous to horses and causing wooden mouth t that time.

They can come out of this and really make a living. I'd like to see this program expand." Baker said demand for horticul many hours of work each year to represent private landowners in coordinating and directing the soil and water conservation programs. Three men will serve four year terms as district supervisors of the Nebo Soil Conservation District, according to Steven T. Gill-mo- r, Commissioner of the Utah State Department of Agriculture and chairman of the Utah Soil Conservation Commission. Newly-electe- d supervisors are Bernell Anderson and Sherman Bearnson, both of Spanish Fork, and Richard L. Saunders, Spring Lake.

Musk thistle is the example he frequently uses to stress the importance of stopping invading weeds. Once hardly known to the state, it is now spreading to most counties.

Utah now has 100 known total acres of this problem weed in 10 areas. Jointed goatgrass has been in the state a relatively short time, but it is building up rapidly. It presents a tremendous threat to winter wheat, potentially greater than the threat of wild oats.
