A story told in the French section of the 8.8. C. European Service is, though its source is Norwegian, one with special appeal to Gallic humour. It gave the gist of an article published some time ago in a Norwegian journal —controlled, of course, by the Germans. It was a semi-scientific article, long and thorough, as German dissertations are noted for being. Its subject was the ultilisation of various plants which grow in Norwegian forests. In the course of it, the following passage occurred: “The ash weed, or German weed as it is sometimes called, belongs to the Umbelliferea family. This weed is very noxious, and once it has taken root it is almost impossible to get rid of it again. But it is excellent food for pigs.”
