RAGWORT.
The proposal of the Minister for Agriculture to place ragwort in the list of noxious weeds, and remove it from the control of local authorities, will commend itself to a large section of the rural community. Ragwort is a destructive weed, which spreads with alarming rapidity in the flowering stage, and it frequently happens that, while it is scheduled as a noxious weed by one County, an adjoining County has not so scheduled it, with the result that it is allowed to spread from cne to the other and occasion heartburn and annoyance. Under the Act, as it will be amended, officers of the Agricultural Department will have the power to crder the eradication of the weed, wherever i": may be found.
