Beene FOXTAIL (Setaria verticillata)—Another introduced weed, 
Bristly Foxtail, is apt to outstrip its sister species in being a farm pest. It 
has much the same characteristics as the other two Foxtails with the added 
one that its heads will cling to wool, hair, and clothing, that come in contact 
with them and be carried away in that manner, thus spreading it. The bristles 
in the heads have barbs which make it cling. This makes it very troublesome 
where sheep graze as these barbed bristles mat the wool and are difficult to 
card out thus seriously lowering the value of the fleece. It also is rather dis- 
agreeable for man to work where it is headed out. The weed is spreading 
rapidly in Minnesota and very likely in other states. The head characters 
are very distinctive. Also the stems are weak, making a more or less tangled 
mass when nearly mature. In this case, to control it must be a matter of 
preventing seeds from ripening in much the same manner as for Yellow Fox- 
tail.
