ANADA FLEABANE—(Erigeron canadense).—This is a common na- 
tive summer annual and winter annual weed, that is very apt to be 
found in abundance over a large range especially in abandoned fields of low | 
fertility. It is also known as “Mares-tail, Horseweed, and Bitterweed.” 
Livestock usually do not eat it because of its bitter flavor which is due to an | 
irritating oil, and the hairy covering of the leaves and stems. In poor soil it 
generally reaches a height of 3 feet but in good soil it may grow to 8 or 10 | 
feet. In good soil cultivated crops generally compete successfully with it. 
Hence its control is a matter of good farm practice, increasing fertility to | 
increase the competition of crops and enough cultivation to prevent seeds 
from maturing. The small seeds are spread almost entirely by the wind as 
they have a bunch of fine hairs attached to one end.
