Imported Hay Causes Spread of a Dangerous Grass. Stanly Enterprise. Farmers of this State have cause to feel alarmed over the spread of a very dangerous grass or weed known "Common Soil." It grows on the top of the ground, and resembles what is known as plantain. It cov ers the soil rapidly, and it is almost impossible to raise small grain where the weed grows. Our. attention was called to the matter by James A. Milton, of Route 2. Mr. Milton bae made a study of the matter and had an analysis made of the weed. He says the weed is spread upon home soil through the manure, and comes from the Western baled hay. He asks the farmers of Stanly county to make their own feed as the time is coming when it will cost the farmers of the county thousands of dollars if the use of baled Western hay is persisted in. .This is. a subject calling for thor ough investigation on part of the Farmers' Union, and if Mr. Milton's version is correct, immediate war on this new grass should be made.
