Characteristic Growth of the Canada
II Thistle. Tho Shoots Are Illustrated
in Various Stages of Development,
from the Most Advanced Down to
Buds just Starting from the Roots
must therefore be understood in order
to attack the weed intelligently. The
root, which varies In size from one
quarter Of an inch or more down to
very small feeding rootlets, branches
and spreads in all directions more or
less horizontally. The depth Of this
root varies from a few inches to a
few feet below the soil surface. de-
pending on the kind of soil in which
1t has been formed. From any point
along the root buds may form and
send up root shoots. which appear
above the soil surface as stems OF
tops OF the plant. At any time dur
ing the growing season shoots In all
stages Of development can be found.
from tho most advanced down to those
just starting from the roots.
After this weed has obtained foot
hold the best way to eradicate 1t is
to prevent 1t from sending up top
or above-ground growth. which finally
causes the roots to die. This is the
basic principle which must be kept
in mind at all times The top of the
plant serves much the same purpose
as the lungs of animals. so that If
the plant is continually deprived Of all
that vital part 1t must soon die.
There are number Of ways of
keeping down the top growth: there
is no one best way for all cases. The
best method for each case will depend
on the farmers rotation and con-
venience. Each field presents prob
lem in itself, and must be handled
according to circumstances. Usually
some form OF clean cultivation is the
best. either with crop or by bare
fallow. Outline systematic plan Of
attack and follow It faithfully,
Many farmers make start to kill
the thistle. but abandon their efforts
too soon. It Is probably no exaggera-
ton to say that IS per cent of the
efforts to kill the thistles are failures.
Often the campaign is abandoned
when success Is in sight and the
thistles soon recover. One great
trouble is that farmers are looking
for too easy method: there is no
primrose path to thistle eradication.
