and if you find any trace of thistle,
at all, it will be very small and sick
ly. You may ask, alfalfa, how do
you do it? Alfalfa does not eat
thistle, nor does it poison it. But it
chokes the life out of it by growing
so fast and thick from early spring
to late fall that the thistle has but a
very slim chance to live.
The secret of killing thistle by
growing alfalfa is this: the growing
Of heavy crop of alfalfa that will
last at least for three years. The
mere seeding down to a mixture of
red clover and alfalfa in the spring
of the year without first making
every field condition for growing the
crop favorable and not half so, will
not do.
Try This on the Patch.
Plow it and a strip about fifteen
feet beyond the last thistle at least
twice this year; apply lime either the
stone form or Innate, the former at
the rate of about four tons per acre.
Do this in the fall after blowing and
work it in with the disk. In the
spring do not pillow again but disk it
up after applying coat of manure
or bag of fertilizer, work up good
firm seed bed, and seed it to barley
or Kherson oats and Grimm alfalfa
at the rate of 20 pounds per acre.
Seed three pecks to a bushel of bar
ley per acre. Then watch it grow
and when the small grain is well
headed out, cut for hay and unless
the grasshoppers destroy the alfalfa
that year you will have perfect
stand that will in three years time
kill out the Canada thistle. Quack
grass will not be subdued by alfalfa.
