construction of the big locks between
the city and Lake Winnipeg having
added much to the transportation pos

FIRE AS A WEAPON
IN DESTROYING
TH|STLES
Joseph MORN of Neche De-
clares It Is Decidedly
Successful

Joseph NORM of Neche, we'll known
as a member of the county commits
sion of Pembfna, has a method for
discriminating Canadian thistles that
Is unusually successful, according to
his own explanation of the situation.
Il read so many different ideas
about killing Canadian and SOW this
ties and also wild oats. These are
about the only weeds we have to con-
IT is a very. easy matter to get rid
Of these weeds IL We get at it the right
way says Mr.. NORM.
Il had my farm rented for thres
years and before I left it 1 had it
clean, but during the time that 1t was
rented it got pretty dirty with wild
oats and Canadian thistles. It was
a section farm and / didn't think it
would pay me to let it go to ruin so
and clean it once more.
For wild oats l plowed it in the
fall and narrowed it well. then plowed
1t back in the spring, when the wild
oats were two or three inches high
and sowed barley. The barley paid
me as well as any other crop and then
my land was thoroughly clean and
good for wheat.
Summer Fallow Failed.
II had quite a few patches of Cam
adam thistles and first I started to
summer fallow then plow three times,
and I had just as many thistles as
ever after all this work, so I made
up my mind hat it was not the way
to get rid Of the thistles. I had forty
acres that were nothing but thistles
and I let them grow till they were
in blossom. This was a fine crop of
thistles. Just ready to ripen. then I

leaving them on the ground for three
weeks. then set fire to them and let
them burn. Then I plowed this land
Just before harvest and narrowed It
we'll and sowed 1t to wheat early next
spring. and / couldn't find a thistle
in the fall. I had twcnty-six bushels
OF wheat to the acre and sold it all
for seed at a premium. I know a
party who bought a quartz rsection
and he did the same thing. and his
was a ucces also. so I would adj
wise any one who has thistles on his
farm to try this method of destroying
them, and I guarantee they will sue
coed. This will destroy them and
with a lot less labor. This way you
pillow your land only once. I had
some patches Of thistles last year in
a Held OF wheat and just before they
were ripe. the wheat then being in
shot blade. I cut them down a little
wheat grew up and choked them out.
This was done about the last Of June.
Sow thistles nay be treated in this
way also with success. This is my
experience after thirty-four years Of
farming.
Own Too Much land.
The trouble here In North Dakota,
is We own too much land. We ought
to have a farmer on every quarter
section OF land. and in the course of a
few years we would have our land
as clean as any country in the world.
II call the Red river valley the
cream Of the world without doubt.
The farmers ARE making so much
money raising grain that that is the
reason they do not go into mixed
farming. but we have creameries for
tho1e who desire mixed farming. You
very seldom see a farmer who does
