IS When salt is used for this purpose
adjacent lawns should be protected
against washing. or they may be in
jured. Crude carbolic acid. one pint
in four pints of water. applied at the
rate of eight gallons per square rod,
was very efficient. The various arsen-
ical preparations proved valuable as
weed destroyers, and choice between
them was largely matter Of expense.
"All things considered" writes the
author of the bulletin, "the arsenate OF
soda and the carbolic acid solutions
proved the most valuable chemicals
for weed destruction under the condl-
tlons of these experiments"
A series of experiments in weed
destruction in fields Of growing grain
has been carried on at the North Da-
kota and other stations. as we'll as at
many places abroad. Several years
ago, in France. it was accidentally
found that solution of blue vitriol
destroyed charlock. or wild mustard
plants. Acting upon this, experiments
have been conducted in France, Ger
many and England, where charlock is
one Of the worst weeds in grain fields,
meadows and pastures. The method
employed is to spray the crop with
solutions Of blue vitriol while the
weeds are young and not too we'll pro-
tected. While the results obtained
are in some respects conflicting, the
best results have been secured when
two percent solution is sprayed over
the field at the rate of from 40 to GO
gallons per acre. The spraying should
be done on a clear. still day, and he
fore the weeds begin to come into
flower. If rain should fall within
"a hours or the weeds are too old
second spraying will be necessary.
This treatment has been repeatedly
tested without permanent injury to
wheat, oats. barley and rye, while
such weeds as charlock, shepherds
purse, penny cress. etc.. were almost
completely destroyed. No injury fol-
lowed such treatment upon young
clover growing in the grain.
At the North Dakota experiment
station 10 percent solution of blue
vitriol was sprayed over an exception
ally weedy plat Of wheat, the princi-
Pile weeds being charlock, wild bar
ley, wild rose. penny cress, shepherds
purse, wild buckwheat. lambs quarter
and great ragweed. The spraying
was made June when the wheat was
three to five inches high, and on Aug
ust all the weeds except the wild
rose and the older plants Of penny
cress were dead. Some Of the leaf
tips of the wheat had been slightly
burned, but the yield of grain, it is
said, was considerably larger than
from an equal unsprayed area. On
June 20 part of an oat field contain
ing many weeds was sprayed with
solution of one pound Of copper sui
phate to four gallons Of water. The
oats at the time were about six inches
high, the weeds being about the same
height.
An examination of the plants was
made on August 1. and the treated
area was free of all weeds except pig
eoni grass and wild rose. The oat
s1lants were stalky and we'll stooled,
while on the untreated area the plants
were weak and failed to stool. The
crop on the sprayed portion was be-
lieyed to be at least one-third more
than upon the unsprayed area. The
solution was employed at the rate Of
40 gallans per acre.

Destruction of Wectls.

According to a bulletin issued by
the department of agriculture interest
is being shown at a number of agri-
cultural experiment stations in the
possibility OF weed destruction by
means of chemicals. It is said that
as long ago as 1895 it was found at
the Vermont station that the orange
hawkseed, serious pest in pastures
and meadows. could be destroyed
without injury to the grass by sowing
salt over the land at the rate of 5000
pounds to the acre. Many experiments
have since been conducted at the
same station with other chemicals for
the eradication of weeds in walks,
drives, etc. Among the chemicals
tested were salt. copper sulphate. ker-
sosene, liver Of sulphur, carbolic acid,
arsenic and salsoda. arseniate of soda
and two commercial weed killers. the
active principle Of WHICH apparently
was arsenic. The weeds which is was
sought to destroy were plaintains,
fdandelion, chicory. ragweed. knotweed
and various grasses. All the chemi-
Gals were applied in solution except
the salt. AS in. the case of the hawk
weed experime ments. salt was found ef-
sfeient in destroying all the weeds

feature of todav's session was the
allocution delivered by Representative

down an important ruling that a member
of a foreign jurisdiction cannot become a
member of the jurisdiction here without
severing his connection with the former.
"If an applicant is member of bodies
in a foreign jurisdiction" according to
the allocution. "he cannot be admitted
into BODY in ours until he renounces
his allegiance to such foreign jurisdiction.
A citizen of Great Britain or other for
eign Governments may be citizen of the
United States. but he must first renounce
foreign allegiance and swear allegiance
to our own Government. A similar rule
should apply in masonry"
In the allocution, Commander Rich
ardson pointed out q splendid increase
in membership and an unparalleled
prosperity. He recommended the filling
Of most of the vacancies on the supreme
council whose fun membership of SO

this month will withdraw authority
over the subordinate bodies in Porto
Rico, and Mr.. Richardson announced
that the jurisdiction of this supreme
council over Porto Rico is indisputed.
