KILL OUT CANADA rnIsrLEs
1oet Persistent Of Wssds and Thrivss
In Pisld That Receives ordl.

ny ". G. PALMER. Agricultural Editor,

The Canada thistle 10 one of the
most persistent Of weeds. 1t has
adapted itself to growing under severe
conditions 80 that 1t can live In =
deld that receives the ordinary culti-
vation. In fact, it~seems to thrive
under such a treatment. The reason
that It is 80 hardy comes partly from
the fact that 1t has what Is called an
underground stem, in which 1t stores
up food that it draws on when neces-
Sary.
New plants are also sent up from
this underground stem, so that even
II all the plants in sight on the
ground are killed there may be others
Just ready to come up, 80 that cutting
of the plants is no sure way Of killing
them, as they cannot all be seen.
To eradicate the Canada thistle 1t
Is necessary to take 1t at its weakest
point and this happens to be at the
time when 1t is in blossom, and the
nearer 1t is allowed to 90 to the form
Ing of seed the weaker it is, as at this
time 1t draws heavily on the food
stored up in the underground stems

KEYNOTE TO TREE GROWING
Success Depends Upon Furnishing
Conditions Required for Making
orowth-Few Trees on Plains.

Oy w. c. PALMER, Agricultural Editor,
North Dakota Agricultural College.
Success in tree growing depends
upon furnishing the tree the condi-
uons which are required for making
growth. It needs sunshine and air,
which it gets by sending up it's stems,
spreading it's branches and unfolding
its leaves; temperature it gets by
taking advantage of the season; mois-
ture and plant food are not so easily
secured by trees on the prairies, which
is the reason that there are so few
trees on the western plains.
When man assists the tree 1t grows
rapidly and thrives. The main thing
to be done is to supply the moisture
needed, and this can be brought about
By simply keeping the grass and
weeds from growing over the tree
roots; for their roots are nearer the
surface than the treo, consequently
they have the first chance ct the
moisture. The result In this unfair
competition 10 that the tree suffers.
Judging from the way some people
dig right around the trunk Of tree
and apply fertilizer and manure there.
ono would think that the roots were
an In q bundle. This 10 not the case.
however. The roots extend to quite
= distance from the trunk; 20 that
whatever cultivation or mulching or
fertilizing 10 done should extend out
ct least 40 far AZ the ends Of the
roots, as there is where most Of the
root hairs are that are taking up food
and moisture. The success In tree
growing on the prairie where no ma
i've trees are growing will consist in
letting the tree have all tho moisture
that falls over its roots, and this can
b done by keeping away the grass
and weeds that would take 1t.
Cultivation 10 the most satisfactory
method Of keeping down weeds and
grass. 1t, however, takes considerable
work. Good results can be secured
By spreading layer Of straw eight
to ten inches deep over the roots,
which is much less work. Straw will
give better results than manure, which
10 apt to stimulate the trees 20 that
they will not properly rpen in the
fall and weeds will also grow mors
readily in 1t.
Give the tree . chance and 1t will
make splendid growth for you.
