against him and because of which he
considered himself justified in not
taking them seriously.

Mr.. Jerome did not show proper zeal
in following up information given the

should be seeded at ono with blue
grass seed in order to I'LL up vacant
spaces and thus prevent as far as
possible seeds from dandelions ger
minating. The iron sulphate or cop
peras as it is commonly known can be
purchased for a few cents a pound in
quantity and Is used at the rate Of IL
to two pounds per gallon Of water.
The solution should be applied soon
after the iron sulphate Is dissolved
as there is a chemical reaction which
takes place soon after 1t Is dissolved
and If left standing too long 1t les
e m its power to kill the dandelions.
The iron sulphate solution is not
poisonous to handle but will discolor
iron, stone and clothing and reason
able care should therefore be taken
in applying it about houses where
there are iron fences and stone foun-
dations and walls.
If each city in the state would start
"a force Of men spraying vacant lots
and roadsides and each person own
ing a lawn would properly spray his
own lawn, the dandelion pest which
has given SO much trouble in the
past could within one or two seasons
be almost stamped out in our cities.
Directions to Follow.
If the following instructions are fol,
lowed out. good results will follow:
Procure q good spray pump, one
that holds about three gallons and can
be carried while spraying.
Spray when the leaves are dry and
can be kept dry for several hours at
ter spraying.
Spray with a fine mist which can
be done only with a good nozzle I'M
der high pressure. 5
Use iron sulphate at the rate of liz
to two pounds per gallon.
Do not let the solution stand more
than three or foud hours after mixing.
Strain the solution through a fine
sieve or cloth into the spray can so
that no material will get into the
pump to clog it up.
Spray about every six weeks or
the dandelions start into
growth.
Keep the lawn grass well watered
so that the grass can overcome by
vigorous growth any damage result
ing from the spray solution.
Do not spray more than is neces-
sary to kill the dandelions.
Further information in regard to
lawn spraying a be secured by
writing the horticultural department
Of the experiment station at Boze-
man.
