Combating the Russian Thistle.
By Prof. Thos. Shaw.

them. In some instances the above
procedure for various reasons must
be modified.
The thistles can also be prevented
from doing harm in alfalfa. On the
Elgin demonstration farm the disk
was run twice over the alfalfa crop
on April 29th. The second time it
was driven across the rows. The
disks cut fully two and one half inches
deep and stirred the whole surface of
the ground. The young thistles just
starting in myriads were thus up
rooted. On May LIST the crop harrow
ed. Before the weeds come on again
the alfalfa plants that were practically
unharmed by the disking will over
shadow the next growth of the thistles.
After the first cutting of the alfalfa
the crop may be similarly treated.
In this way the thistles may be pre-
vented from doing any harm in alfalfa
except the first year that it is sown.
The harm the first year may be mini
mized by the sowing the crop late
rather than early.
The time to fight Russian thistles
is just when they are starting. 1t un-
molested, in a short time the roots
will have such hold that the harrow,
the weeder. the disk or other cultiva-
tors will not be able to dislodge them.

LESLIE'S WEEKLY ON THE ALIEN
LAND LAW.

1t is interesting to note that Leslie s
Weekly is one of the great eastern
papers which has not been swept off
it's feet by the action of the govern
ment of Japan on the passage OF the
anti allen land bill of California.
In their issue of May 18th appears
the following article:
President Wilson is again right in
declining to interfere at the request
of the Japanese government to pre-
vent the passage of the law prohibit
ing the holding of land by aliens in
California. Ii the facts were general
ly known the complaint of the
Japanese would receive scant con-
sideration.
The Japanese have never recognize
ed the right of aliens to hold or own
real estate in Japan, and when foreign
intercourse made it necessary for
them to permit some kind of holding
of Japanese real estate in order to
permit foreign merchants to house
their business it was only provided
under a complicated system of leases
and of Japanese trusteeship. The
bad faith and dishonesty of Japanese
trustees holding title to land for the
benefit of American and other foreign
owners has been a constant source of
annoyance and loss to such foreigners
in Japan. Japan is even at the pres
ent time attempting to secure the
cancellation of all foreign land rights
acquired in Korea before its annexa-
ton by Japan, under the claim that
these were abrogated by the foreign
powers when the Japanese annexation
of Korea was recognized by them.
1t ill becomes Japan, therefore, to
complain when California proposes
only to give the Japanese a taste OF
the treatment that they have been
giving to foreigners in their own
country for SO many years. The Cali
fornians can very easily silence the
Japanese protest by simply offering
to the japanese in California the
same consideration offered to Ameri-
cans by the japanese in Japan.

time to the agriculture of the North
western states than the Russian
thistle. 1t harms the crop by crowd
ing it in some instances to such an
extent as to render it not worth har-
vesting. Its presence also adds great
ly to the labor of harvesting, especial
ly when the growth made has been
strong 1t also gives much trouble
in summerfallowed lands and cultivat-
ed crops by the strong and rapid
growth which the plants make on
these in the latter part of the growing
season.
The farmer is in a sense defenseless
against invasion from this plant.
That is one of it's worst features. 1t
is almost impossible to fence against
it, owing to the ease with which it is
carried with the wind. Our demon
stration farm at Elgin, N. D., is sur
rounded with a woven wire fence.
The fence is five feet high. In the
summer of 1912 part of the land in
side was summerfallowed and kept
quite clean. At this date april 27th)
the young Russian thistles are
abundant on this land and are from
one to two inches high. These come
from seed that was scattered during
the winter. More than once during
L 4hA OF nj II
outside of the fence until they along
with snow that drifted in, formed an
inclined plane as high as the fence
over which the thistles that came
later rolled with ease, scattering seeds
as they went. In other instances the
dried thistles would be caught up in
to the air by gusts of wind and carried
right over the fence without touching
it. The most regretful feature is.
that the land which may be made
ever so clean by the farmer one season
may be e-seeded again with thistles
before any crop is planted on it the
next season. Until the farmers make
oSoAioo chAO
weed, it will not be eXterminated.
What then can we do? The best that
can be done at present is to manage
the newly sown grain so that the
thistles may be prevented from doing
it any serious harm. This can only
be done by the judicious use of the
harrow and weeder on the grain crops
until after the grain has reached the
stage when it will overshadow any
thistles that may terminate later.
In dry seasons especially, the thistles
will be greatly harmful to the grain
unless they are in some way checked.
How is their gro with to be checked
in the grain? By the judicious use
of the harrow and the weeder. The
harrow alone may suffice. The same
is true of the weeder. But usually
the two in combination will give
better results than either alone. The
procedure in many instances will be
in outline as follows: First, the har
row should be run over the ground as
soon as the grain begins to appear,
giving the teeth a backward slant
during the operation. This will stir
the entire surface of the ground and
will destroy the thistles that are just
starting. Second, when the grain is
two TO three inches high the Weeder

will be read with interest at this
time:
In. 1868, Ito Shunske, as he was
then called, was Governor of Kobe,
and he issued an order, as a result
of a conference with the foreign con-
suls, which became a diplomatic
agreement, by which japanese and
foreigners could make leases cat
their own convenience.
The Government refused to recog-
nize the ownership of land by
foreigner, and as land owners did not
care to make leases with foreigners,
what usually happened was that the
land was bought outright by the
foreigner and the original Japanese
owner remained as lessor, under terms
which provide that the land should
be held by the foreigner as long as
the nominal ground rent was paid,
thus making the holding to all in
tents and purposes a perpetual lease
After a few years, however, the local
authorities refused to ratify such
leasehold agreements, and insisted
that term should be put to IA pro-
posed lease. This, Notwithstanding
that it was we'll known that the land
in most cases had been purchased
outright by the foreigner. 1t was in
vain that the foreigners were given
the right to make leases between
themselves at their own convenience.
The local authorities refused to ratify
any leases made for a longer term
than twenty-five years.
But this was not all. Some foreign
ers perceived in entering into lease
that it would be dangerous to leave
the taxes on the land to be paid by
the nominal lessor. and they con-
sequently endeavored to arrange in
paid by the lessee, who was in most
cases the real owner. But the local
authorities refused their consent to
this arrangement, on the ground, that
as foreigners we're not liable to taxa
ton they could not be compelled to
pay such charges, and that the
authorities must, therefore, hold the
Japanese dummy title holder respon-
sible. Eventually, arrangements were
recognized by which the lessor under
took to pay the tax it the lessee did
not do so.
In most of these cases, where there
has been a deliberate attempt to take
the title of the lease holders, they
have been successful in the courts,
only to find, however, that the at
tempt was renewed on different
grounds. And, since the courts take
the position that these matters are
governed by the Code they decline
to take into consideration the circum-
stances under which these leases were
made, and are not moved by the
equities involved. 1t is easy to see,
therefore, that the se-holders are
placed in very awkard position.
