HINTS FOR TREATMENT OF
LAWN FOR DANDELIoNS
Government Tells How to Remove Weed
Before it Destroys Grass-Is Not a
Native.

Washington, d. G., May 90 The
best way to kill individual dandelon
plants is to cut of their tops and put
o pinch o salt (about thimbleful) on
the surface of each exposed root. This
will kill most of them. AS salt if gem
orally applied ruins soil, the salt should
be used sparingly and applied only to
the roottops of the dandelion. The
U. s. Department of Agriculture has
for some time been testing various
poisons to discover the most efficient
means Of eradicating this troublesome
weed from lawns, but although others
have beeen found satisfactory, the com
mon salt is best for general use as
there is no danger accompanying its
application.
The department S specialists say that
much effort is wasted in merely cut
ting off the dandeion top without ap-
plying some poison to the root that re-
mains. The dandelion has tap root
that grows deep into the soil and cut
ting off the plant merely encourages
the dandelion to come up in a thicker
growth.
Remove Dandelion Before 1t Goes to
Seed.
( The time to eradicate dandelions is
in the spring before the plant has had
time to form seed The sed spreads
rapidly, blown by the wind The bios
SONS should be close mown before they
have gone to seed and salt should then
be applied to each root. A man may
be very diligent in caring for his own
lawn and yet have seeds blown in
from neighhoring lawns. This is of
such Importance to those desiring fine
lawns, that it might be made matter
for community action.
If the lawn is very full of the weed
it is too tedious process to treat each
plant by the salt process. In this case
two possible methods of eradication
may be recommended The first
method is to thicken the stand of grass
to tend to crowd out the dandelion.
The grass should be put into a vigorous
condition by top dressing with we'll
, rotted manure or fertilizer in the fall,
! and by reseeding in thin places. The
second method, advised in extreme in
stances, is to start all over again,

From Frtday's Daiiy'
To two classes OF people the big
creamery picnic held yesterday at
Good Thunder and Amboy were
events of far greater interest than
mere ordinary pubiie summer out
ings. These two classes were the
politicians and the baseball enthus-
lasts. This was especially true Of
the affair at Good Thunder, where
the crowd was much larger, and
where the baseball game took place
between the teams o. Good Thunder
and Albert Lea,

be remembered, is to play against

kato fair grounds next Sunday after
noon and the Mankato baseball
managers have been eager to
see Good Thunder give Albert Lea
a thorough trouncing, not because
they are at all hostile to Albert
Lea, but they are anxious to have
a good strong team that will create
a great deal OF public interest, to
play again next Sunday. Last Sat

team went up against a velvet cur.

them. He was disappointed in the

send a good strong team

The Mankatol baseball men were
again disappointed, when they saw
the Good Thunder team play yes
terday against Albert Lea at the
picnic for Albert Lea cleaned them
up TO the tune OF ten to nothing.
However. Il cannot be denied that
Good Thunder put UP plucky
fight and that the team may give
Mankato something TO think about
and something TO do next Sunday
afternoon after. ALL II should be
noted that Good Thunder made
four OF It's runs In the first f1-
ming and five In the ninth. and that
II these two iupings were omitted
from the games the score would be
close indeed. During the seven In
nings between, the FIRST and the
ninth there was a closes .hard-fought
contest. and the general interest
was sustained ytbrougheut the game.

and the Mankato people will with
out doubt be much interested in
seeing what a .red-skin can do at
the national American game.
Manager storrow has made sew
ersi attempts to secure date with
the Albert Lea team this summer.
Thus far the chief trouble has been
that the Albert Lea boys have been
anxious to have the Mankato game
in the middle OF the week. but Mr..
Morrow would not hear Of this.
