At tho session of the Leglshitffro, when tho Bill for theColleguwas passed, through tho Farmer's Cluv of Lehi, the same commltleo who prcst-nted Urn (M titlon, asks for a legislative enactment, against obnoxious weeds, impels, etc. A Bill embodying their views mid wishes was formulated, and given to tho comnilttceon Agilcnltuie, who, how ever did not succeed in getting any thing done, for the Farmer, further than hau a provision insetted In the Hill governing govern-ing the County Courts, giving authority to said Courts to Legislate against said obnoxious pests. At primaries in tho precincts and conventions at County Seats, tho importance im-portance ot this'matter has been urgtd upon members for tlio Legislature and County Courts, but nothing hnH been dono byway of relief.
