the college campus three times last
summer, August 6, August 81 and

begun a general campaign against
the dandelions all over the campus

the city has the fever and is getting
the lawns sprayed. Prof. Longyear
recommends that the solution be put
on the lawns with force sprayer. A
movement was begun in the city to
organize a company for the purpose
of raising money to pay corps of
men to do the work wherever need
ed, and encouragement was added by
the city itself to rid all vacant lots
