Canadian Thistle Campaign
Kicked Off In Poe Valley
By WAI.T JENDRZEJEWSKI
County Extension Agent
An intensified campaign to con
trol Canadian thistle kicked off
v.ith a meeting of Poe Valley
farmers June 20.
Similar meetings are scheduled
for the Community Hall at Lorel
la Thursday evening. June 27.
and at the BIy Grange Hall Fri
day evening. June 28.
Farmers are insisting on inten
sified control effort against Cana
dian thistle because this noxious
weed is spreading.
Control work in the past has
successfully reduced infestations
of other noxious perennials but
has not prevented spread of Ca
nadian thistle, largely because
some thistle infestations have
been allowed to produce seed.
Pressure from farmers for en
forcement of the Weed Control
District law resulted in establish
ment of a Weed Revolving Fund,
in the pending county budget, for
additional weed control service
landowners at cost. The argu
ments for providing the service
were that many farmers have
neither time or equipment to
spray thistles at the time when
herbicides should be applied.
Weed Control District laws re
quire landowners to control nox
ious weeds. The County Weed Con
trol supervisor is charged with
carrying out control work where
landowners do not; and provides
for assessment of costs against
ownership involved. The law gives
county weed supervisors quaran
tine powers.
Minimum ni.ont ahla rnntm '
consists of cutting or mowing be
fore seed formation: however, the
Canadian thistle campaign is di
rected toward eradication over a
period of time through use of
herbicides and use of soil steri-
lants.
Count Weed Control Supervi
sor Schieferstein announced that
control by mowing or cutting will
be considered acceptable if car-
capability for the County Weed J rid oul ,y Juy 2n
control unit. Mowing or cutting after seed
Spray service is available to fnrmation wi not acceptable,
Scheiferstein said.
Newer herbicides such as
ATZ, Amitrol "T," Banville D,
TBA. Bintrol and Tordon are ma
terials ranging from newly prom
ising to proven to be quite effec
tive in the case of ATZ.
An eight-month restriction of
grazing after application of ATZ
limits use of this every etfective
herbicide.
Single applications of ATZ. Am
itrol "T" or Cytrol sprays applied
at bud and bloom stage to thor

high percentage of kill in most of
many Canadian thistle infesta
tions treated by county equipment
tlte last few years.
ATZ has been used at six to
eight pounds per 100 gallons and
Amitrol "T" at two gallons of
two-pound material per 100 gal
lons of solution.
Repeated spraying with four
pounds of 2.4-D per too gallons
also gives eventual eradication.
Two spray applications annually
are recommended for 2.4-D with
the first application delayed until
thistles are growing actively and
there is enough foliage to receive
a lethal dosage of spray.
Air applications or spray boom
application of less than one pound
of 2.4-D per acre for selective
control of annual weeds have little
effect on deep rooted perenni
als. tllcctive control requires
spot treatment property timed and
gallonage near or exceeding 100
gallons per acre, depending on
growth present.
