The Board heard testimony from those in favor and opposition with the following points brought out and discussed: Opposition: 1) There has been no forethought to control of the weed by manual labor, only to the use of herbicides. 2) Against the use of any kind of chemicals. 3) Suggest subsidizing the farmer to control their farm lands only and not use money on patrolling the entire county. 4) There should not. be an entire department costing the taxpayers money just for one noxious weed. 5) Education in the schools will help control the noxious weed. 6) The actual prevention of this noxious weed from spreading is an unreal concept. 7) There should be more research and it should be brought before the voters. Favor: 1) Tan-sy Ragwort is a very potential problem in Jefferson County. "",,' .
