Perennial Sow Thistle Menace to Farm Crops The excessive rainfall during the spring and early summer was ideal for 'the growth and spread of peren- nial sow thistle, says J. D.. McLeod of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Perennial sow thistle says Mr. McLeod, multiplies both by means of seeds and roots and spreads through the soil with re- markable rapidity to choke out the growing crops. There are three varieties of sow thistle. Two annual varieties spread only by seed and are not a serious menace. The noxious perennial, on hay has no equal, say live -stock with - the other hand, has creeping root- orities. Leafy green clovers or alf- stocks, and because of its wind.'borne alfa hays are not only palatable but seed, is a menace, not only to the they furnish both protein and essen- farm on which it is growing, but to tial minerals.

Sheep • require a supply of salt throughout the year, preferably salt containing iodine, Sheep do not obtain enough salt when 1t is supplied in block form. Sheep also like a considerable atn- ount of water, and in the winter time, the amount they may be able to obtain from snow is not sufficient to keep them healthy.

Perennial sow thistle can be con- trolled. Everyone who has it on his. farm should realize his obligation to himself and his neighbors to prevent it from going to seed.

Farmers Urged to Use Purebred Rams Farmers owning grade flocks of sheep are advised by the Dominion Department of Agriculture to use purebred rants. A purebred ram im- proves the •flock with heavier and finer fleeces. But not every farmer can identify a good ram when he sees it. Even ram buyers are not always accurate in estimating a ram's conformation to its breed type or the quality of its fleece. These buyers prefer, as farmers do, to buy their rams by grade. Ram grading is a policy, of the Dominion Department of Agricult- .� ure. On application from purebred � breeders, experienced officers of the department classify yearling and Iamb rams into four grades. These grades range from 3XA rams of stud Tram calibre suitable for heading flocks of 'choice, purebred ewes of the same breed down to Grade X rams which are not suitable for (breeding at all. The ram grading policy benefits the breeder with rams to sell by pro- perly classifying them. It benefits buyers even more, enabling farmers or farmers' organizations to buy 'rams by grade. Whether a buyer (purchases a graded purebred ram at the breeder's farm, in the sale ring, or by mail order, be knows exxactly the quality of the ram he is adding to his flock. I Breeders with rams to grade or buyers 'wishing to acquire rains should get in touch with their near- est livestock officer. Feeds Sheep Like And Don't Like For sheep feeding, good legume controlling this menace ,to agricul- ture. Plow deeply immediately after the crop has been removed and leave in the rough state for one or two weeks. This method has proven effective on hundreds of farms throughout Ontario and should be undertaken as early in the season as possible. Anyone threshing a crop contain- ing sow thistle should have consider- ation for his neighbors, and thresh so as to control the spread of seeds. A'short rotation of crops, early mat- uring varieties of grain crops, early cutting of infested areas followed by after -harvest cultivation, hoed crops, i
