Cd of use. as presented in detail by
Professor H. D. Scudder, agronomist
of the oregon Agricultural College.
The iron sulphate used as spray
has been thoroughly tested both by
experiment stations and the manu-
facturers of the sulphate When prop
erly prepared and applied it has prov
ed destructive to dandelion, yarrow,
sorrel, mustard. lambs quarters. pep
ped grass. bull thistle. wild carrot,
pigweed. shepherds purse and wild
daisy. 1t will not destroy dock, which
can be eradicated only by digging the
plant out or cultivating it to prevent
its going to seed. When used to de-
stroy dandelions on lawns it will in
jure the white clover. And it should
be remembered that this spray can
not safely be used on weeds growing
in any broad leaved crop as it will
destroy the crop as we'll as the weeds
THE value of this spray as a de-
stroyer of weeds lies largely in the
fact that it can be applied and the
weeds killed while they are growing
in the grain crop. The spray will not
destroy grains or grasses because of
its limited area of action on their mar
row linear leaves, while it will de-
stroy the weeds named, largely be-
cause of its wider area of action on
their broad and succulent leaves.
"As iron sulphate is a powerful
salt its action Is similar to that ON an
alkali in the soil. causing the leaves
upon which it falls to dry up, turn
brown and die.
The effectiveness of the spray de-
pends mainly on four things: First
it should be applied during dry sun
ny weather, for il rain washes off the
salt within two or three days it is moi
effective. Second. it must be applies
with sprayer. which will deliver the
spray forcibly in a very fine mist, 50
that the weeds will be covered as com.
pletely as possible. Third, the spray
ing should be done on a quiet day
Fourth, the spray should be applied
TO all weeds just before they bloom
The spray is prepared by dissolv
ing 100 pounds of iron sulphate in 5.
gallons of water. 1t should be mad,
up fresh each day in wooden barrel
and the sprayer should be wood, rub
Der or brass. The solution will stall
clothes, and the hands should be pro
tected by being creased with vaseline
| Ordinarily for mustard in whea
fields one spraying is sufficient. o.
more persistant plants, such as tn
dandelion, the spraying must be re
peated when the plant comes u
again. Flax or wheat may be spraye
without injury to the crop when fror
six to twelve inches in height. Late
the mustard or other weeds are likel
to be too difficult to reach with tn
sprar owing to the shading of tn

a YOUNG MAN who prides

up to the ideals implanted in his
mind by a good mother, is made
very unhappy by the malice Of his
enemies. He says:

tongues of my adversaries, who

degradation with lies which / can

No lies of our enemies can harm

The time for decisive action by
the United States toward Mexico
has come. Many of our citizens
who were lured into Mexico by

Our property to the extent of tens
of millions has been injured or
destroyed. Having been struck on
one cheek, we have meekly turned
the other, only to be smitten
thereon tenfold harder. If, there
