UPON THISTLE
rs,ef seed Analyst Plans Extermi-
nation Of Canadian Variety in
Illinois.

r,astruction of the Canada thistle,
-.ticb is an outlaw in Illinois, is
q. object of campaign of law
s...so~rement," started by Chief
rasd Analyst Albert c. Wilson OF
10 department of Agriculture. The
ssw regarding Canada Thistles,"
~ wilson announced ia opening
- campaign, "has been violated
vstbout prosecution but those days
are gone forever.
aThe Canada Thistle law" Mr..
u,eon said, provides for the ap-
,,,intnnent of Canada thistle COM
r,rsssioaer by the board of town au-
sstors. consisting of the supervisor,
assessor and town clerk of each
sownship, by the city council of any
sity. or by the president and trus-
,sest OF any town Or village. The
.srm of office is two years or until
Ne successor has been appointed
and qualified.
@The law gives the Canada thistle
commissioner full authority to get
ne Canada thistles under control.
aiI nroperty owners should cooper
sts with these commissioners and
do their part in destroying the
missiles. Canada thistles can be
eyterminated in one season II
nrouer means are employed to de-
s,roy them. 1t should be borne in
mind that the underground root
system is responsible for the
sureading of patches because these
roots send up, at short intervals,
another plant. To prevent these
roots from sending up new shoots
or plants, it is necessary to deprive
them OF nourishment which they
receive from the air through the
leaves which are above ground. BY
preventing this leaf growth the
roots are starved out and will soon
die. To accomplish this result,
means surface cultivation of the
infested patch and if it is a small
one it can be done by hoeing every
week. If the infested patch is
large put the land into some crop
which can be cultivated and keep
up the cultivation during the grow
ing season. In some cases it may
be necessary to keep the surface
cultivated by summerfallowing the
land. Whatever method is used
must be followed thoroughly and
regularly.
an cases where the town audi
tors have failed or refused to ap-
point a Canada thistle commits
sioner it becomes the duty of the
county board upon the petition OF
IS land owners of the township CT
adjoining town or towns, stating
the failure of said board to appoint
d commissioner who is a resident
Of the town, his term of office
and compensation to be the same
as if appointed by the board Of
auditors of the township.
The state department of agri-
culture, division of plant industry
is anxious to have all noxious
weeds eradicated. Therefore it re
quests all citizens to cooperate Il
the fullest extent. The eradication
of weeds can be accomplished by
preventing them from going tt
seed and where they spread by
the root system like Canada thistles
and quack grass, the surface of the
land should be cultivated frequent
" to prevent growth above ground
and thus starve out the roots. TIT
eradication of all weeds will ALLOW
greater crop production and cleanel
forests which will make better pic
mic grounds and better communi
ties in which to live and enjoy thu
beauties of nature"
