    Groudsel
    This weed is nearly the same as the rag weed only that it does not grow as tall. People give it to birds. Birds like this weed.
    Chicken weed.
    This is a very bad weed in the potato ridge. It spreads over the ridge and leaves it very hard to dig.
    Pig tail
    This weed grows on a dry ditch. There are big roots on it. If you dig it and get the roots and if you boil them they would cure a big if he had the white scour.
    Slanlus
    Slanlus is good for a cut. Another person would have to chew it.
