QUAcK GRASS. SOW THISTLE
AND CANADA THISTLE
(By H. L. Bolley.D

By III. Il. BOlley.D
There are many types Of weeds, es-
pecially the annual ones that develop
large quantities of seed. These weeds
speedily overrun large AREAS of farming
country after the native sod is broken
up, unless the farmers are careful in
cleaning the seed which they SOW.
Among this type of plants are common
mustard, Russian thistle, pigeon grass,
pig-weed, etc. Such weeds soon become
SO general in the farming area where
large field methods are practiced that
the agricultural methods must be large
ly varied and the farmers soon, simply
learn to live with the weeds, using those
methods of cultivation which 90 check
the growth of the weeds that the farm
crops keep the uppezhand and make a
reasonable Development. When farm
ing is reduced to smaller fields and
proper series of crop rotation, these
types of weeds have slight power to do
harm.
This is not, however, true of some
other weed pests. There are certain
types of noxious weeds, as. for example
qnack grass, sow thistle, and Canada
thistle which, when they once gain pos
session of q piece of ground can never
be gotten rid of except by methods in
volving much cost In many cases the
cost will exceed the value of the land,
therefore, a farming state which does
not naturally have these pests as native
plants should make every effort to pre-
vent such weeds from becoming genera
lily distributed.
Qnack grass, SOW thistle and Canada
thistle are three types of weeds which
are we'll known to the agriculture OF
cert1in Of the older portions of the
United States. Any of our older people
who remember being told they could
not go fishing until they had destroyed
all the Canada thistle or punches Of
q nack grass ona certain small plot OF
ground, will have full appreciation. OF
what it will mean to the Red river valley
and the rest of North Dakota when these
two weed pests have once attained q
thoro foothold on all of the farms Of
the Valley. Some of the farmers Of
Pembina and Walsh counties already
know what the Canada thistle and SOW
thistle can do, and these weeds have
been at work but few years in those
regions. The sow thistle is rather
new weed to the agriculture Of Of this
state, but it is showing capabilities Of
crop destruction which lar exceed that
of any other weed known to the agri-
culturalist. Its method Of growth are
similar to those Of the Canada thistle,
but it has proved q very much fercer
ground occupier; Indeed whore present
in association with Canada thistle, il
has been found able to prevent the
growth ofswheat and even crowd out the
Canada thistle.
Quack grass, Canada thistle and SOW
thistle all use one growth characteristic
which allows them to persistently hold
the soil against other plants. Each not
only produces seeds in profusion, but
develops heavy, undergr rground, joint
STEMS with buds ataeyery node. These
heavy underground stems, called root
! stocks, are rather fieshys and store 10

~~~N.sAs'e~SN
like the parachutes of the dandelion
and the seeds are borne about by the
slightest 'breezes to distant parts. 1t
has only been q few years since the first
Canada thistles were observed in the
northeastern counties of the state.
Now there are small patches of them
to be found in almost every county in
the state. think that the general in
fection of the ground, thrnout which
areas one may expect to find thistles in
large4uantities, may be said to be pro-
ceediag south and westward from Walsh
and Pembina counties alta rate at least
equal to five miles a year. Tho SOW
thistle is yet found only in comparative
ly small patches, it being an introduc-
ed weed but is spreading with much
greater rapidity than the Canada thistle
The 4uaok grass is of such wigor and
vitality of growth that it .oan .probab-
ly crowd out either of these other two
weeds. 1 hava never seen.a good crop
of wheat on any sgronnd which was ,oc-
c,npied- by qnack grass. When this
grass is present about the only crop that
can be grown is "a crop that is cultivated
two,or three times week, such as corn
or potatoes, and it will be found difficult
to get quick enough growth of these in
Spring to get ahead of the qnack grass.
This grass looks very much like our
native western wheat grass, and thus
the farmers are allowing it to come in
with great rapidity without knowing it's
destructive power. The seed looks very
much like the seed of bronze grass,
slender wheat grass, or that of meadow
fescne SO that the farmer may readily
buy large quantities of it with other
agricultural grass seeds. This type of
grass seed is also light and as it stays

are now developing and to keep the
larger areas under proper control
