TO DESTROY THE
DANDE[|ON PEST

ItOpIc WIZ OWL ldWllS nave
been more than usually annoyed
by that little yellow flower spring
ing up all over their lawns this
spring. The rather pretty little
yellow flower is the precursor of a
plan that threatens not only the
extinction of the lawn but mars
the beauty as we'll. The dande
lion is a vigorous grower and
threatens the grass in manv lawn
as it spreads with extraordinary
rapidity. The following remedy
for getting rid of this pest is rec
commended by a writer in an agri-
cultural paper:
Young dandelion plants can be
killed by spraying with 20 per
cent solution of sulphate of iron.
Old plants are badly injured, the
foliage being wholly destroyed but
the growing bud is not killed and
the old root sends up new foliage.
Applying dry sulphate of iron to
the heart growing bud) of the
old plant produces death. Repeated
spraying of middleaged and old
plants results in their death.
To destroy young dandelion
plants by spraying, dissolve two
pounds of sulphate of iron in a
gallon of water, stirring with a
stick to hasten solution, and ap-
Div with a hand sprayer. Use one
gallon solution to one square rod
grass plot. If the first application
is not completely successful. spray
a second time. Repeated spraying
will be rewarded by, the eradication
of the plant.
The grass and clover will be
blackened and appear killed. but
this need cause no alarm, they are
not MORALLY injured and in a few
DAYS recover and grow with in
creased vigor.
The solution can be made and
SPRAYED over square rod grass
plot of grass in less than halt an
hour Freshly cut lawn grass
leaves are very susceptible to in
Jury by spraying with sulphate OF
iron solutions; therefore, do not
sprav a lawn to kill dandelions for
several days before or after cutting.
Sulphate of iron may be applied
in large quantities $50 pounds to
the square rod to lawn without
nermanent injury to the blue grass.
Remember that sulphate OF iron
discolors cement walks and linen.

BUSINESS ACTIVITY
ON THE INCREASE

Every indication points to re-
vival of industrial activity. The
Standard Oil and tobacco trus
cases have been decided; the crop
prospects were never more prOmls-
ing in the state of Washington
and, with few exceptions, are good
the country over. The sale of the
5000, 900, 900 block of bonds of the
Great Northern the past week
marked the turning of the tide.
The steel and lumber business is
picking up-the former the leading
factor in the Eastern states and the
latter the most important industry
in the Northwestern states all
point in the same direction, gen.
eral revival of business and the
employment of labor.
Money, proverbially timid, has
gotten over it's fright. The banks
are loosening up; the stocking and
the tin cans are giving up their
boards, the smile of prosperity, the
godmother of good times, will
break into a laugh before the sum-
mer is far advanced.
1t is now pretty generally con-
coded by the best advertisers in the
country that weekly newspapers
bring best results outside of the
big cities. The country weekly
goes into the home of almost
every one in the county. 1t is
read and re-read and is not con-
sidered old until the next issue ar
rives. Most daily papers are read
on the streets and in the main pos
sess only a street circulation. Ad-
vertisers who wish to reach the
best BUYERS and profitable business
are fast deserving all grades of
newspapers save the home weekly.
1t is the paper that brings cold
cash results.

After all is said pro and con con-
cerning Gen. T. C. DuPont's great
plan to build 50, 600, 900 State high
way, if the people of Smyrna want
it to go through town they will have
to acquire and give Mr.. DUPONT the
right of way. This can be made to
cost little or much, from a few
thousand dollars to hundreds of
thousands of dollars as the citizens
of Smyrna desire. But the route
does not necessarily have to go over
any of the sites suggested. 1t can
go along the edge of Smyrna, where
it will not be necessary to condemn
or tear down property. Such being
the case, the right of way will be
reduced to a minimum. At the same
time the Boulevard will touch Smyrna
and in time Smyrna will grow on
both sides of the great highway.
The Boulevard Committee of the
Smyrna Board of Trade is consider
ing all phases of the situation and
we have no doubt but what some
plan can be worked out that will
mean no special hardship to Smyrna
to acquire and yet give US the ad.

Baltimore is setting a good ex
ample to the municipalities of the
East in its f1y-swatting campaign.
A contest closed Saturday night
when the two $25 prizes offered by
the Woman's Civic League were
given the boy and girl who brought
in the most flies in their respective
classes. Already the league has
paid for about IA, 900, 900 flies at 10
cents a quart. This means some
thing like 80 bushels, and nobody
can doubt tina. the death of this
enormous number of the pests has
had an effect in lessening the supply
in Baltimore, But the close of the
contest does not mean the close of the
campaign by any means. 1t will be
carried on until cold weather brings
its relief, and will be resumed as
soon as the warmth of spring brings
forth fresh supply Nor has the
immense number of flies destroyed
during the contest been the only, or
even the most important result.
The greatest achievement has been
the impression made upon the minds
of the people of the community
teaching them to realize the fact
that flies are highly dangerous; that
their number can be greatly lessen
ed and the Danger greatly decreased
by properly applied effort, and that
by keeping up the effort year after
year Baltimore can be made and
kept practically fyless city.

Council should be no respector of
individuals or firms in the matter of
enforcing its light, water and sewer
ordinances. If it is right to enforce
the poor man to pave or pay his taxes
and rentals, it is only right to
force those in better circumstances.
The law is plain and if the service
is not paid for, it is Councils busi-
ness to cut the service off and pro-
ceed to collect. Members of Council
should know no one in performing
their duty in this respect.

Council has at last acceded to the
demands of the puplic and ordered
the purchase of a horses- power
sweeper to be used on Main and Com
merre Streets and the other streets
of Smyrna. With the purchase of
this sweeper, it is understood a new
set of street-cleaning regulations are
to be put in force that Smyrna in
the future will not be held up as a
dirty and unkempt town. We are
glad to note this act of Council for
which the public generally will be
pleased. Now let the Street Com
mittee put force of men on Com
mcrce street and scrape the dirt
from Eas1 street to the Depot.
When this is once done thoroughly,
it will be an easier matter thereafter
for the street sweeper to keep il
clean. Commerce street is supposed
to be macadamized and if properly
cleaned would at least show thai

Smyrna needs to wake up to it's
opportunities and throw off the ban
of selfish interest and petty jealous
les, if it would enlarge and expand
industrially. In the new and grow
ing cities of the west and northwest,
all citizens work with a common in
terest to induce industries to locate
in their midst and the result of
their efforts is wide awake and pro-
gessive towns.
