entered the eighth week without
substantial gains, growth of the

Agriculture Secretary W. L. Hen
ning declared drought conditions
in many areas were reported by
some farmers interviewed to be
“the worst ever experienced.” He
said conditions were almost bey

back roads.

Small reddish flowers on low
growing weeds may be danger sig
nals to farmers, particularly in the
Southeast, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture warned today. Witch
weed, a parasitic plant that attacks
com and some other crops, has
been found on about 38,000 acres
in both North Carolina and South
Carolina.
Farmers in these and other states
are asked to be on the lookout for
an unfamiliar weed with bright
green, slightly hairy leaves, and
the bright generally reddish flow
ers. First discovered in this country
in the fall of 1956, some witch
weed plants were found first
breaking the ground surface in lat
ter May of this year in the Caroli
nas. Wilting of volunteer com
plants was evident a few days later.
Witchweed roots penetrate roots of
host plants, robbing them of food
and water.
