Cut Ragweeds to Eliminate Hay Fever
Hay fever in Iowa could be practically eliminated by prompt cutting of ragweeds, says Prof. C H Farr of the University of Iowa. Both large and small ragweeds are in bloom, causing most pollen-induced hay fever. Ragweed blooms late summer, though this year started earlier. Weeds thrive in waste places, named for ragged leaves. Large ragweed can reach ten feet, small about three, with finely divided leaves.
