Bitterweed Appears In Chowan Pastures One of Worst Pests, Ac cording to County Agent Overman “The fringed leaf weed with a yel low bloom present in so many pas tures now is Bitterweed,” says Coun ty Agent C. W. Overman. "Now is the time to control it. A thorough clipping of these weeds by use of a mowing machine or hand scythe be fore going to seed will do much to ward ridding pastures of this pest.” According to Mr. Overman, Bitter weed is one of the worst pests in pastures. It drains the soil of plant food and moisture so much needed for pasture crops and it also crowds | out the desirable grasses and le gumes.

They are apt to become over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid and other impiyities from the life-giving blood. You may suffer nagging backache, headache, dizziness, getting up nights, leg pains, swelling—feel constantly tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs of kidney or bladder disorder are some times burning, scanty or too frequent urination. Try Doan's Pills. Doan's help the kidneys to pass off harmful excess body waste.
