NOXIOUS WEEDS.

PERSECUTION BY THE GOVERNMENT. The noxious weed? trouble which is a live matter all over the Dominion was discussed at the last meeting of tho Clutha Branch of tlio Farmers' Union, when members commented severely on the action of the Government in prosocutin" private individuals for not cutting Canadian thistles on their holding, wln'c there, was no I'lVort made to check the "epread of the nuisance on Crown lands." Mr. Christie said that cutting Hustles b?fore they flowered was n?ele«, as it only fli-enstliened the growth. Some other method would have to lie brought into force if the weed? were to be eradicated. He thought that Canadian thistles should ba taken off the schedule of the Noxious Weeds Act, and the farmers left to work out their own salvntion. A motion, under the name? of Mf'Sr>. T!. Moffat and D. Dallas was carried—"That the secretary write to the different of the Farmers' Union bringing under their notice the faci that under the Xoxiou-. Wteds .\ct private individuals arc 'persecuted' by tlit; Slate, while at the tame time tho Slate does not try to prevent tho spread of weeds from it? own land."
