         In 1881 ,a new type of weed begin spreading across the northern Great Plains.Unlike other weeds,the tumble weed did not spend its life rooted to the soil,instead,it tumbled and rolled across fields in the wind.The weed had sharp,spiny leaves that could lacerate the flesh of ranchers and horses alike.It exploited the vast area of the plains,thriving in regions too barren to support other plants.With its ability to generate and disseminate numerous seeds quickly,it soon became the scourge of the prairies.          To present day Americans,the tumbleweed symbolizes the Old West.They read the Zane Grey novels in which rumbleweeds drift across stark western landscapes and and see classic western movie in which tumbleweeds share scenes with cowboys and covered wagons.Yet just over a century ago,the tumbleweed was a newcomer.The first sign of the invasion occurred in North and South Dakota in the late 1870s.      ...
