PAINIBRUSH!
AND HOW TO KILL 1T.
Read what the Government Experiment Station Burngo
ahO

The Orange Hawkweed or Paint
brush " is the worst weed known in
certain portions of Vermont, and
threatens to invade other parts of the
state unless precautions are taken.
1t is easily recognized by its peculiar
hairy leaves and stem, and especially
by its conspicuous orange red blossoms.
1t is a native of the mountainous re-
gions of Europe and has been intro
duced into this country as a garden
flower. ltappears to have become well
established in this state within Is years,
and has spread most actively within Is
years. 1t is most troublesome in the
northwestern counties.
1t seems capable Of rapid adaptation
to varying conditions, and thrives al
most equally we'll in all soils from sandy
loan to heavy clay, and at all attitudes.
Its further spread may therefore be eX-
pected.
The complete determination of any
weed, when once it is established, is a
practical impossibility. The aawkweed
is in Vermont to stay. Nevertheless,
prompt action rightly directed may
keep ii from becoming more serious
pest. This weed has probably increased
ten fold in the state during the past de-
cade, yet it is not one-tenth as bad as it
may become in the state as whole.
The first and most important means
of fighting any weed where it is possible
to practice it, is cultivation. When
thorough cultivation with a horse is
not practicable, aud IN ALL CASES
WHERE THERE is ONLY A SMALL
AMOUNT OF TIE WEED PRES
ENT, a very effective remedy is found
in SALT.
Ibis agent has long been used in
fighting weeds, but in most cases SUCH
heavy applications are required as to
destroy the grass and other useful
plants along with the weeds. The
Orange HaWkweed is, however, re-
markably sensitive to salt, being quick
!y Killed by applications which do not
lnJuriously affect most Otner plants.
In order to determine the effect of
varying amounts of salt upon both the
weed and the grass, adjoining plots
were staked out in piece of grass land
which was badly infested with the
weed. Dry salt was sown broadcast on
Inese AT the rates respectively OF 1000,
zOOO, 1900, 1000 and 500 pounds per
acre. The heaviest application entirely
destroyed the HawkWeed and the grass
also. ALL OF THE LIGHTER
APPLICATIONS PROVED ULTI-
MATELY BENEFICIAL TO THE
GRASS, and in varying degree destruc-
tive to the weed Most of the weed
was killed by the 1900 pound applica-
ton and EVERY PLANT OF II
WAS KILLED BY TIE APPLICA-
TlON OF 5000 POUNDS PER ACRE.
In order to make more accurate COM
parison, ten stalks of the grass OF aver
age size were cut from each plot, pho
tographed and weighed. Figure is a
drawing from this photograph and
shows the relative appearance of the
grass from two plots. The ten plants
from the unsalted plot weighed IA
grams, while those from the plot which

had received 5000 pounds of salt pei
acre weighed 26 grams, or NEARLY
TWICE AS MUCH.
Without going further into the de-
tails of the experiment, we find, after
repeated trials, that where the weed is
thoroughly established so as to cover
the entire ground, IS pounds per square
rod, or 5000 pounds per acre, Sutficed to
destroy every plant of the Hawkwe iced.
In all cases upon our soil such applica-
tons of salt benefited the grass, but
injured or killed the clover. When the
weeds are scattered, much less salt will
suffice. If but a few plants occur, a
small handful of salt scattered over the
leaves will do the work.
1t must not be inferred that similar
applications of salt will prove equally
beneficial by doubling the grass yield
on all soils and under all circumstances.
Salt acts as fertilizer on land not be-
cause of any plant food it contains,
but, among other reasons, because 1t
may so act upon lnsOlluble food ele-
mentS already present 10 the soil as to
render them more soluble and hence
more readily available to the plant.
Salt will therefore prove more bench

grass. Some of the gains in our expert
ments must of course be attributed to
the indirect benefits to the grass result

so qulckly2 This has not been fully
determined, but there is no doubt but
that it is chiefly by its action in with
drawing water from the tissues of the
plant. Salt has strong attraction for
water, so that when dry salt is placed
in moist atmosphere or on a moist
surface, it absOrbs water rapidly. This
action occurs when the salt comes in
contact with the tissues OF the Hawk
weed. II We place a few crystals of
salt on a dry leaf of the weed, and eX-
anime it after short time, we no
longer lind dry crystals but drops of salt
water. AT the same time the leaf has
wilted, showing that the water Las
been drawn from the interior of the
leaf.
The cheapest salt obtainable is rec
commended for use, as in our expert
ments this has proved about as effective
as the purer table salt. Ex- Gov. G. s.
Page of Hyde Park, VT, sells the refuse
salt from his hide warehouses, which
is less pleasant to handle, but contains
some refuse matter which ADDS Slightly
to it's fertilizing value. The expense,
therefore, of Kidding the land of this
weed, even when it is badly infested, is
not extreme, and in cases where the
weed is only beginning its invasion, it
is very slight.
IN ALL CASES WHERE THERE
is ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF
THE WEED PRESENT WE WOULD
URGE THE USE OF SALT AS THE
QUICKEST AND SUREST MEANS
OF DESTROYING IT.

Wilhelm Frederick Thase Dead.

lis our pain sul duty this week t.
chronicle the death of another old and re.
spected resident of our c.,unty, Wilhelm
Frederick Thase. Deceased was born in
Germany Sept. %, 1920, and died at the
home Of his son-in-law, II. W. Ledebur,
near Starr, April p, 1870, aged 70 years,
6 months and q days.
Mr.. Thase came TO this country in ls47,
coming directly to Allegheny. In lS49,
on Green Thursday, he was united in
marriage to Mss Marie Sophia Sagel-
hurst. This union was blest with one
daughter, Caroline Sophia. In 1851 Mr..
Thase found a second helpmate in the
person of Sopia Marie Dorotha Dickrager
who has also preceded him to eternity
two years ago. There are left to mourn
the death of the departed one daughter,
Mrs. Henry Ledebur, seven grandchild-
rem and five great grandchildren.
Mr.. Thase was a man who was univer-
sally respected and his demise is regret
ted by all who knew him. Funeral SER
vices were held at the Lutheran church
on German Hill Monday afternoon and
the remains were inferred in the ceme-
terry at that place, the obsequies being
conducted by his pastor, G. A. Rhiel.

Deafness Cnmot BE Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflaned con-

stachian Tube. When this tube gets in

imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

less tho inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition

through the procuring Of oil the gas from
a neig boris land is permitted TO waste

State is maintained to compel the owner

cision is reversal Of number of courts
