DEATH TODANDELION
Mixtures at Last Found to Wlther
Plant

The doom OF the yellow headed
dandelion Is sealed. At last science
has conquered the pesky, smiling
nodding, presumptious harbinger OF
spring, and 1t Is now up to the
householder as to whether the weed
or blue grass shall hold sway over
Greeley lawns. The agronomist of an
eastern college Is the monument
winning scientist who has furnished
the weapon that means death and
destruction to the yellow flower, and
the hoary- headed, cottony top stalk
that succeeds 1t. His formula Is
stated to be not only effective, but
quite simple and inexpensive. Here
1T is:
Dissolve two pounds Of sulphate OF
iron in gallon of water, and add
about two and one-half ounces Of
sulphuric acid. Place the liquid in
all ordinary sprinkling can and get
busy. This potion will serve to send
an ordinary sized lawn to wither.
land.
Should Sir Dandelion have posses
sion OF large tract Of land and 1t Is
desired to kill the encroacher head,
body and soul, use the admixture in
the following proportions:
Add 1O0-lb. sack of sulphate OF
iron to q 52.gallon barrel of water,
mix thoroughly and add ten pounds
of sulphuric acid. Use regular
spraying machine and the dandelion
is dead one.
Sulphurlc acid being deadly
poison considerable care should be
exercised not only in its use, but ip
its handling before it is used.
The dandelion has such coquetish
way of peeping out from the most
unexpected places and saucily tossing
its yellow head that it has many ad-
miring friends. Then, too, people
from not few eastern and southern
states mind we'll the great dishes Of
dandelion green's and side bacon the
black nanny cook knew so we'll how
to prepare, and this class will ever
be slow to administer poison to an
old friend.
The proud possessor of an inviting
lawn will cast aside these sentimen.
tai thoughts, however, and remem-
ber only that the yellow soldier
marks possible crusade of wide
spreading, close-lying, choking
tendrils and leaves that mean death
by sufocation to the velvety blue
grass, and that If the one Is not
exterminated the other will be.

The Berthoud Sugar Plant.

| Last Sunday IN the Denver papers
the story Of who is back of the pro-
posed independent sugar factory for
Berthoud came out. j. j. Henry,
who promoted the Northern Colorado
Power company, and with which he
has recently severed his connection,
is promoting the sugar factory.
With him several well-known Colo
rado business men are mentioned as
proposed directors. Among these is
w. d. Hoover, who was one of the
builders of the Eaton sugar factory
and also of the Windsor factory, be-
fore the Havemeyers bought the con-
trolling interest in these.
The story came out In page adver-
tisements offering the bonds with
bonus of stock for the sugar factory.
Last fall when there was opposi-
tion to the SLIDING of beets it was
announced that County Commits
sioner Munson of Larimer county
had made arrangements in the east
for an independent factory at Bert
houd, providing sufficient acreage to
run factory could be secured. It
was also announced at the time that
the acreage had been pledged.
Whether or not the plans of the new
company will be far enough advanced
to make use of crop this season is
not known here.
