In computing the cost, the commissioner's time is reckoned with the labor 

 and material used on each tract. 



Spent one day notifying section boss concerning Russian thistles found in 

 the railroad yards in section 24. 



I recommend brine, made from salt and water, as a good remedy, because 

 it has proven so where used. 



COOK COUNTY. 



Report of W. H. Shields, Canada thistle commissioner of the south half 

 town of Worth: 



Would respectfully report that said thistles were found growing on the 

 following places, to-wit: On the farm of W. Tobey, Mrs. Piper's farm, on 

 the old Rexford farm in seven different places, on a sub division south of
