A survey in Idaho last year estimated weeds losses in that state to be in excess of $500 million a year. THE LANDOWNER has the primary responsibility for control and eradication of weeds on his property. The Utah Noxious Weed Act makes provision for a county weed board and weed supervisor to help control noxious weeds in the county. Eleven weeds are designated noxious weeds in Utah by the Weed Act. All eleven are found in Davis County. In addition, a 1980 survey of new exotic noxious weeds in Davis County revealed Fixe new noxious w eeds not listed in the Weed Act. Some of the weeds of most concern in Davis County are like Lendl, and not John McEnroe; in other words even on point after point going dyers woad, buffalo burr, and giant whitetop. Dyers woad is very prominent and is recognized by its bright yellow flowers and its winged seed pod. Buffalo burr is a new weed to the county. It has leaves similar to a watermelon leaf and a spiney, yellow burr. Giant whitetop is found in many places in Davis County and is spreading rapidly. It has yellow flowers at maturity and has oblong, sharply toothed leaves. or even twenty-fiv- e thirty strokes.
