    There are many harmful plants growing in the farm. There are many Nettles, Thistles, and many others. People say that where ever the thistle is found it is good land.
    The thistle is a plant which spreads rapidly. It is cut down by the people. Its roots spread many yards away. It improves the soil. The people use nettles for feeding turkeys and chickens. The nettle and the thistle grow about a foot high. No flowers grow on them.
