Head Off the Fraud

The college has received several
inquiries during the past few days
concerning remedy that is being sold
in town as n sure eXterminator of dan
delions, rs well as other weeds in
lawns. A moments thought shonld
convince anyone that these weeds are
more hardy than grass and any appli-
cation that would kill them would.
more than likely kill the grass as we'll.
Numerous experiments have been
undertaken by various experiment
stations looking toward some easy way
of exterminating weeds, but as yet,
nothing at all practical has been
reached. Occasionally man honestly
thinks that he has discovered some
thing valuable in the way of n remedy
for plant diseases as well as for the
determination of weeds, but usually
they are rank frauds, and if this So
called dandelion cure is sold by Mr.
Miller of Miller's Blight Cure fame,
as we have been informed by Mr.. A.
E. Carter, county horticultural inspec-
tor, there can be no question but what
our citizens are being swindled.
