Fighting Canada thistles in fields with seasonal plowing
M H Burns weed extension specialist at Town State College recommends fighting Canada thistles that have not matured seed. Cut corn, plow patches, and weekly disc work until ground freezes. Next spring plow early and every week until July then sow sugar cane or other heavy crops to suppress regrowth. Thistle patches in stubble fields should have been plowed earlier to prevent seed maturation.

Home Economics Note on Large Bed Sheets
Miss Mary Gabrielson of the home economics department at Iowa says large bed sheets 90 inches wide and 99 or 108 inches long are preferred by homemakers for tucking at the sides and for turning back excess, making them economical to buy ready made rather than sew. She notes a top hem of ½ inch and a bottom hem of 1 inch, with only 10 to 20 cents saved per sheet when made at home.
