CANADA THISTLE
TO
HOW
IT
Agricultural College ExpertTells
Oregon Farmers How to Rid
Land of Weeds
The Canada- thistle is a most dif
ficult weed to get rid of. It is a per-
renial, living on from year to year
through its persistent root , system.
Whether it makes seed or not, it con
tinues to spread by means of its un
derground stems or horizontal roots,
The plant starts in the first place
from seeds brought in with grain
grass, or alfalfa seed. Hence, all
seed should be examined before sow
ing to avoid the spreading of this
dangerous pest in that way. Madi-
cation methods vary according to the
extent of the area infested.
Following are methods of eradica
tion:
1. Plants should never be allowed
to go to seed, as in the form of seed
they may be carried some little dis
tance by the wind, in the water of ir
rigation ditches, or in hay, manure,
grain, etc.
2. When this weed occurs onlv in
small areas, it should be cut close to
the ground when in the full bloom
and the spot completely covered with
tar or building paper over-lapped
and weighted with rails or earth so
that the light is completely excluded
from the plants. This can be done
only on level ground, of course. On
more uneven ground a very heavy
covering of straw from an old stack
bottom or manure at least 1 1-2 to 2
feet in depth when settled may be us
ed. in either case the covering
the spot untill fall or the following
spring, when it may be removed, and
the ground plowed, kept thoroughly
cultivated until seeding time, and
then put into a row crop such as corn
checkrowed so that it may be thor
oughly cultivated throughout the fol
lowing summer. Or in place of corn,
a smother crop of buckwheat or rape
sown very thickly may be used.
3. Where only a few scattered
individual plants are .found, these
should be cut off just below the sur
face of the ground when they are in
bloom and a generous handful of com
mon stock salt thrown on the roots
or instead of the salt a small amount
of gasoline may be applied.
4. Where the Canada thistle oc
curs in a number of small patches or
clumps scattered through a field
these may best be handled either by
smothering (as previously described)
or by the use of a sodium arsenite
spray, which is made by dissolving
1 1-2 pounds of this salt in 52 gal
lons of water. This solution, applied
with a small hand sprayer and spread
in the form of a fine mist, so that the
thistles are thoroughly covered just
ueiore mey come into Dioom, will
kill back the tops to the ground. As
often as they re-appear they should
oe given another spraying. This
method is very successful. As the
spray is very poisonous,' care should
be taken not to inhale it or permit
stock to pasture on the plants sprav-
ea.
5. Where the thistles are scat
tered generally over a large field but
as yet have not become firmly estab
lished, the above methods would not
apply. In this case, after the croo
has been removed from the field the
land should be plowed in the fall and
then thoroughly cultivated with the
springtooth harrow, which will turn
out the roots and bring them to the
surface where they will dry out and
die. ine ionowing spring the ground
should be plowed every four weeks
and between times thoroughly culti
vated with the springtooth up until
July, when it may be seeded to a
smother crop of buckwheat or raoe
thickly sown. Follow this crop with
r..n -i : j u-
xmi piowmg ana cultivation again.
Continue the next spring, and then
put the ground into a thoroughly cul
tivated row crop such as corn, pota
toes, roots, rape, etc., using the hoe
to get any stray thistles that may
appear.
o. Where the thistle is crrowiner
tnickiy in large areas and has obtain
ed a good hold, the best method is to
use a thoroughly cultivated bare fal
low. If the land has been in pasture
so that the roots of the thistle are
close to the surface, the ground may
iirst oe piowea snanowiy, then thor
oughly cultivated with the spring
tooth harrow. If large quantities of
the roots are dragged out in this way
it would probably be preferable to
rake them off to one side and burn
them. A piece of the root of this
weed one inch long will start a new
plant if the root remains in moist
soil where it will not dry out. This
first shallow plowing should be in
the spring when the plants are just
coming into full bloom, Then after
three or four weeks, during which
cultivation has been given, the ground
should be plowed again more deeply
to bring up the deeper roots. Three
and even four plowings may be given
Deiore iau u tne sou is thick with
roots and the young plant continue
to spring up from tims to time. The
whole success of this bare fallow me
thod depends on never allowing the
plants to go to seed or even to pro
duce any growth at all above ground,
in this way starving out the roots,
which have great vitality but which
must die if not supplied with food
from growing leaves. Following this
thoroughly cultivated bare fallow the
land may be seeded heavily in the fall
to 2 bu. of rye per acre which may
be cut early In the spring for soiling
purposes, or thoroughly disked and
plowed under deeply as a green ma
nure. The ground should then be
kept thoroughly cultivated until seed
ing time, and then put into some row
crop such as corn or potatoes and
kept thoroughly cultivated through
out the summer, using a hand hoe
where any stray plant appear. This
method has proved successful in hun
dreds of cases, but never unless thor
oughly carried out. Of course, it is
expensive because of the large
amount of cultivation required, but
where the thistle has obtained a good
hold of a large area it is the only
metnoo tnat win do tne work, t ur
ther, such a thoroughly cultivated
fallow puts the ground In splendid
shape for succeeding crops.
7. Kerosene, sulphuric acid and
carbolic acid have all been used, but
while on individual plants they are
fairly successful, they are very much
more expensive than any of the
other methods named, and in the
case of the acids are dangerous to
handle,
All of the methods described above
for the eradication of the Canada
thistle have been thoroughly tried
out and have been proved successful
scores of times, but unless they are
carefully and thoroughly carried out
as described, none of them are of any
value and no farmer will succeed with
them. Further, the methods describ
ed above give you, I believe, every-
tning Known at tne present time re
garding the eradication of this weed.
Of course, there are different kinds
of thistles, but there is only one of
them that is the perrenial Canada
thistle. All others, which are bien
nials, are easily exterminated. Far
mers who are not sure of the identity
of the thistle on their land should
send in a specimen showing the leav
es, roots, and blossoms of the plant
iur examination.
