before noon the school children

by cultivation.
"In the sander districts farther
west, however, the farmer is confront
ed by a different problem. If the
soil is light, constant cultivation may
result in drifting. In these areas,
farmers hsould be especially watchful
for the appearance of the weed; be-
cause l do not believe there is any
practical method for the control Of
SOW thistle on large scale in soil
which will drift. Fortunately, the
sow thistle has not yet travelled much
beyond the eastern border counties,
and the few small patches that have
appeared in the sander soils, if no.
ticed in time, can be killed out by
covering with manure, straw, tar pap
er, salt, or any of the methods used
for graduating small spots of quack-
grass or Canadian thistle.
''No county in North Dakota is safe
from the sow thistle. The weed will
surely appear this year, at least in
scattered areas, in most counties north
and east of the main line of the 500
railway. The plant can easily be dis
tinguished in the grain fields in July
by the golden blossoms standing up
above the grain in which is headed
out much like large dandelions. Stray
Cling plants should be pulled, taking
care to get all the underground stems
and burn them. Small patches should
be treated as described above, and
where the land becomes infested, cul-
tivation methods are necessary. Any
who are in doubt regarding the iden-
tity Of the weed should see their coun-
ty agent or send in samples to the
Agricultural College,"

action is necessary to stamp out SOW
thistle when the first few plants make
their appearance in the sander dis
tricts Of the state, declares County
Agent Leader John Haw.
Perennial SOW thistle is being
stamped out in the eastern counties
only by intensive and constant culti-
vation," says Mr.. Haw, in discussing
control methods for this dangerous
weed. All that is, necessary to kill
out the SOW thistle is to starve out
the underground stems by not per
hitting the plants to get any start.
