Martineau, of the grazing department de-partment of the forest service, has just returned from Washington, D C, where he has been for the paBt several weeks studying data concerning Jie poisonous weed, larkspur. Tho forest service has been working work-ing for many months on plans tending tend-ing to the eradication of the weed from the feeding ranges in the national na-tional forests. In pa-n years the weed has done considerable damage to stock quite a number of deaths occurring oc-curring each year. There are certain plaees on the national forests known to be infested with the weed, where stockmen do not allow their stock to graze. It is hoped by the forest men to be able to entirely eradicate the pest. |
