FIGHT the Sow Thistle

The Northwest Experiment Station
issued a SOW thistle bulletin few
years ago. In it the farmers were
warned gainst the weed and told how
it could be combated. An illustrated
poster was distributed. Frequent
meetings. were held Additional leg
islation was earnestly advocated in
order to prevent the spread of the
SOW thistle to new sections that were
not then infested.
This is the year 1920. The SOW
thistle has moved up in the Red
River Valley and has even reached
the Minnesota valley. Legislators
and others who scoffed at the control
and eradication plan proposed in
1916 are now beginning to see that
perhaps after all the laws similar to
those in effect in Canada were
necessary and helpful. 1t begins to
look as if the time will be ripe in
1921 to secure the necessary legisla-
ton without which the fight against
the SOW thistle cannot be success
fully made.
Will the farmers practice the nee
essary farm management plan and
in addition demand legislation that
will give them a chance to combat
the SOW thistle?
If the farmers demand that some
thing be done it will be done. The
SOW thistle is unique in that it's seeds
are distributed broadcast by the wind
It's eradication lies in community as
we'll as individual action. Commun-
ity action under centralized leader
ship properly financed can come only
thru legislation. The case against
the SOW thistle demands 100 per
cent attack. Scattering fire is worse
than useless in that it costs as much
and accomplishes nothing.
If you believe that something ought
to be done to secure a real SOW thistle
law, say so. Tell your neighbors.
Tell your county agent. Have the
county farm bureau take the matter
up in earnest and agree on plan
that will work. Committees from the
various counties can meet later to
= formulate a Valley plan. A 1egis-
lative committee can then be ap-
pointed to draft suitable legislation
