RUSSIAN THISTLE CONTROL

Russian thistle is only an annual. and its seed is not of long vitality in the‘ soil, so by all the rules of the game lt ought to be easily con- trolled; but this does not by any means always result. indeed there ; are large areas in the Prairie Provinces. and a few small areas elsewhere in Canada, where it has the farmer worrying. These are al- most without exception areas of dry, more or less sandy, and es- pecially drifting soils. in south- western Manitoba and ‘the dry belt of the provinces to the west, the succession of dry years has given Russian thistle ideal conditions for increase. In adjoining areas equally exposed to infestation for almost equally extended periods of years, it occurs chiefly on railway sid- ings, and may never be an aggress- ive fsrm weed, for the simple re- ason that it has not the ability to compete with the vegetation of these soils. However let these soils become run down, so that they support only indifferent crops, and they too may be invaded, if at all inclined to become loose and thin. The. offensive against Russian thistle may be launched in the spring. if a summer-fallow is con- sidered necessary and good prac- tice in the locality on other grounds, it will give the best oppor- tunity to fight this pest; if thoroughly carried out, one season can very largely do the work. A cultivated crop is also useful,_and a rotation which includes a cultivat- ed crop every few years, as ls poss- ible on a stock farm, can control the weed under most conditions. When. grain is the crop to occupy the land, ‘the seed-bed should be prepared early and well, and be eown only when moisture, tilth and warmth are favorable for prompt germination of the grain. Even then it. will be necessary to give a stroke or two of the barrow when the-groin .is young ‘to destroy the wood seedlings, and if the crop has been sown not too thinly, it will take more good than harm from the operation. Once the grain is well under way, any Russian thistle plants present ere forced to lie low until the crop is harvested, but as soon as they are uncovered they push up rapidly. and soon become s dense mot of stems, or a coarse tangle of branches. depending ' on bw thickly thy stundtsinllrdlmfw bow thickly they stand. Before lIl-ey become too largo and prickly to be easily handled they should be plow- ed under; inffsct a. dliocing immediately after the binder, to be followed gby plowing later is evon bet r. provided (in either case that ee are not-allowed to mature. Other suggestions that might be made are to replace some of the spring grains with fall rye, in which the R sisn ‘thlstles starting will be killed by winter's frost. and no congenial seed-bed will be mode in the lprins for further coeds to start. Or by posturing sheep or cattle on rye, or any other crop eonlolnhg the weed. it will be readily eaten down and turned tn good account in the process. some farmer: are oven considering
