Lester H. Dewey, assistant in the
Division of Botany, Department of
Agriculture, says that where per-
ennial weeds, such as dandelion.
lance-leaved plantian, and yellow
dock are scattered through lawns,
the most economical way of destroy
ing them is by repeated spuddic,
that is cutting them off about two
inches below the surface of the
of the ground with spud. Crude
carbolic or sulphuric acid may be
used to destroy these weeds by
placing about five drops of sulphur
ic or half a teaspoonful of carbolic
acid in the middle of the rosette of
leaves. The acid may be applied
with an Oil can.
