SO0C Thistle "
Campaign
Suggestions

The SOW thistle campaign is to be
continued in Clay county until the
Hun of the field" is exterminated,
said County Weed. Agent Larson.
Now is the time to plan for next
years cropping system. No COM
munity should tolerate the seeding
Of late grains upon. badly infested
fields next year, in their midst. There
will have to be more cultivated crops
and livestock in connection with "a
well planned crop system.
The cutting Of the small grain
will not end the war on the Peren-
NAL SOW thistles. Anyone seeding
late spring grain next year on land
badly infested with sow thistles may
expect to cut it for hay.
The following in general is sug-
gested this fall: - .r.....
To Handle This Years Seeds.
Pillow as soon as possible, to pre-
vent further blooming and to make
the seeds terminate.
Surface cultivate at least once
this fall to kill the seedlings.
Surface cultivate thoroughly again
in the spring to kill the rest of the
seedlings -.

Increased Rye
Acreage Urged

All farmers who have. suitable
ylapd are urged to seed an increased
acreage to rye this fall by the fed
eral food administration The cam
paign is being pushed by the state
food Administered ton and F. l.. Balm
er, state leader of county agents,
makes the following suggestions:
r. Where Applicable.
y In. all sections having a sandy
soil, farmers should be encouraged
to seed a maximum acreage of rye,
except in those limited sections
where, rye is already grown to the
extent that it tends toward a badly
balanced cropping system. On light
soils, one year with another rye Is
a more certain crop, and gives de-
cidedly better average yields than
spring wheat. .
In sections where the spring seed
ing OF small grain and the harvest
ing OF the same, are the rush seas
ons. the labor situation can be ma
terially helped by inducing farmers
to seed from fifth to a quarter of
the total small grain acreage to rye.
Where and When to Seed.
Land may be prepared for rye by
disking where early potatoes have
been harvested or corn has been put
in the soil in early September; or
land may be used that has been
plowed, following a crop Of small
grain. ~. ~as
Seeding in the early part Of Sept
ember is advisable in most sections
OF the state Any time before Sept
ember 20 will ordinarily give salts
factory results.
Helps the Labor Problem.
With those farmers whose prin-
cipal crop Is small grain an in
crease in the winter rye acreage will
help to solve the labor problem by
giving a more uniform distribution
throughout the season. Each acre
of rye seeded in September means
an acre less Of grain to seed in the
rush OF spring seeding. Likewise,
including rye as one of the farm
crops, lengthens the harvest seasons,
as the rye harvest will be completed
before any spring sown grain issripe.

WONDERFUL Crop
In The Valley

There is wonderful crop in the
valley as far north as Crookston,"
said A. H. Costain, who had returned

north, around Warren and Argyle,
there was less rain and the crop is
lighter. North Of Crookston harvest
began last week, about 10 days later
than here.
In those northern counties, Polk,
Marshall and Kittson, the SOW thistle
has gained the upper hand in many
places and it will be hard fight for
the farmers to get rid Of them. We,
