The Thistle Again.

Oahes (N. D. Republican,: During our
recen! trip through South Dakota we
took occasion 10 talk with number Of
farmers on the train in regard to the
Russi an thistle and the treatment of it in
their section Of country. Every farmer
expressed surprise that the farmers in
this section should be SO badly scared
over the weed, and they all agreed that
it was the easiest to kill OF all weeds.
The plan adopted in South Dakota
where the weed fioarished for about five
years, WAS to pillow early in the tall. just
as soon as the crop Was cut the plows
were set to work in the weedlest fields
and it was soon discovered that weeds
which were turned under in August
never appeared again. As to the danger
OF e-seeiing by travelling weeds, all
agreed that i. was not SO great as it ap-
peared The majority oI the seeds are
dropped before the weed breaks loose.
and the balance drop out before it has
gone very far. A few weeds are still to
be seen south Of Huron, but no one has
any fear Of them. Farmers up here
must follow the example of the South
Dakota brethren and plow early. They
mus, farm we'll. The result will be that
thay vii get just as much grain with
less ex~ ~ense and tue land will always be
