Canada Thistle

One Of the worst weeds in the
state of Washington is the Canada
thistle. This plant is distinguished
from the common bull thistle by it's
small heads and it's long running I'M
derground stems. The bull thistle
comes up from seed, lives over one
winter, produces flowers and seeds the
second year and then dies. The Cana
da thistle lives on from year to year,
sending up new shoots from the I'M
derground parts, storing up new food
below ground and thus establishing it,
self very firmly. Fortunately very
few good seeds are produced and the
weed does not spread to any great ex-
tent from place to place by seed. Only
occasionally is new start made. 1t
does, however, spread from a center
in every direction in a field as the
underground stems grow. and a small
piece of one Of these stems dragged
by a pillow or cultivator will start a
piece in another part of the field.
To eradicate this weed requires
careful effort. First of all, every sign
of it must be hoed out and all the un-
foreground stems removed that may be
The plot must then be carefully
watched, and as fast as new stems
come up they must be hoed off The
sending up of a stem uses some of the
food which is stored below ground. If
this stem is removed before it can es-
tablish itself, spread out it's leaves to
the sunlight and manufacture new
food. in time the underground stems
will be starved out, but if the new
shoots are neglected more food will
be manufactured and stored and the
whole fight must be begun again. If
this work is carried out with great
care one should be able to eradicate
the thistle in a single growing season
