The previous decline in Grain prices late Trade under scattered local and commission House Selling demand being limited. The heavier tax. Undoubtedly affected Trade to some extent. The news was Given Little at Tention apparently and heavier Rains in Oklahoma Kansas and Texas of the past few Days have Lead Little effect. Kansas reports moreover indicate much wheat will be left uncut owing to the Price and High Cost of harvesting and threshing. Foreign news was similar to that recently showed no inspiration for any. Efforts on either Side. Export Trade slow. Canadian and Northwest weather generally satisfactory. Receipts continue Small and total primary arrivals were bushels versus bushels a year ago.

Have proved neither practical nor effectual. Experiments with sprays at the Brandon experimental farm have shown Only Atla cide to be of much service but at a Cost prohibitive except for Small patches. It is therefore evident that to Flag lit the rapidly increasing men Ace due to this week on Prairie farms that Farmers must resort to Well planned combination of Cul Tural and cropping practices and apply them thoroughly. The following methods have been used for the control of Canada this the on illustration stations in Mani Toba and Eastern Saskatchewan where the Weed is bad 1. Bare summer allow throughout the season. 2. June slowed fallow cultivated several times followed by deep plow ing just before freeze up. 3. Late fall blowing of stubble land followed by late Spring blowing and the Field seeded to Barley. 4. Sweet Clover for Hay Cut and removed to enable the land to be slowed about mid summer after which sufficient cultivation is Given to keep Down All Thistle growth. In theory a perfectly Bare summer fallow for one Complete season should choke out Canada Thistle. In prac Tice however. It a an unusual season that will permit such a fallow to be maintained. For thorough work the Farmer must be prepared to cultivate every ten Days All season. For the past three years a Well worked fallow Oil the Roblin ill titration station has grown More thistles in the subsequent Grain crop than any other Field in. The juries of rotation find this after Early june blowing and seven to ten cultivations. At Pelly in Saskatchewan plan followed for several years but it is certainly 110 remedy and disproves the theory that deep blowing just prior to freeze up will kill Canada Thistle. Plan number three is equally As impotent because Between fall and Spring Plo wings the Thistle Loots re main dormant and Are As virile As a potato set after a late crop of Barley is sown.
