New announcement is made that the
Wilson family will spend the greater
part TO the summer at Harlakenden on
the Connecticut river. 1t is safe guess,
however, that the president himself will
not spend any considerable stretch OF
time there as long as the international
complications are so involved as they are
thought to be at the present time. The
seriousness of the situation demands
that the president of the United States,
as well as his cabinet, keep "on the job"

DANDELION KILLED
BY PINCH OF SALT
Cut OFF Tops and Then Put Salt on Each
Exposed Root, Says U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.

The best way to kill individual dande-
lion plants is TO cut off their tops and
put pinch of salt (about thimbleful)
on the surface of each exposed root
This will kill most of them. As salt
if generally applied, ruins soil, the salt
should be used sparingly and applied
only to the root tops Of the dandelion.
The U. S. department of agriculture
has for some time been testing various
poisons to discover the most efficient
means of Graduating this troublesome
weed from lawns, but although Others
have been found satisfactory, the COM
mon salt is best for general use as there
is no danger accompanying its applica-
ton.
The departments specialists say that
much effort is wasted in merely cutting
off the dandelion top without applying
some poison to the root that remains.
The dandelion has tap root that grows
deep into the soil and cutting off the
plant merely encourages the dandelion
to come up in 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 seed spreads rapidly.
blown by the wind. The blossoms should
be close mown before they have gone
to seed and salt should then be applied
to each root. A man may be very dill
gent in caring for his own lawn and yet
have seeds blown in from neighboring
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 this weed
it is too tedious a 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 vigorous condition
by top dressing with well rotted manure
or fertilizer in the fall, and by reseed-
ing in thin places. The second method,
advised in extreme instances, is to start
all over again. Pillow up the lawn first
Tor spade it up OF the area is small). A
generous amount of well rotted manure
should then be worked into the soil, but
not fresh manure for that is full of weed
seeds ready to terminate. In case ma
nure is not available, commercial fer
tilizers may be used. Many lawn soils
are in need of lime and it is often a
wise plan to use it, especially if white
clover is to be sown. After blowing,
the land should be narrowed or raked
frequently to reduce It to a good seed
bed condition. This will encourage the
early termination of weed seeds with
the subsequent determination of the
seadIinoS Thorouoh cultivation at This
period will destroy the dandelion plants,
both those that come from roots and
seeds. After following either of the two
plans sketched here, THE lawn should
be maintained in good condition by care
full moving, rolling and watering.

CURRENT COMMENT
Sen. Dillingham; and white Slave Traffic

In public address in Washington on
February 10, James Bronson Reynolds,
who as assistant prosecuting attorney in
New York county was in charge OF the
white slave" grand Jury, said:
"The national immigration commission,
created in 1906, brought out the facts
of the national and international ramih-
cations OF the so-called "white slave"
traffic, and exposed the machinery of
the traffic A French official commission
has recommended the abolition of com
mercialized vice, and Denmark, Norway
and Great Britain have abandoned the
system, the same being true to greater
or less degree in Germany and Switzer-
land.
He also said the city OF Washington had
taken step in the right direction in
abolishing its segregated district.
Through the new power which this
law gives it should mean, that the Off
cial liberation of commercialized vice
is at an end in the national capital and
that Washington, which has set other
standards for the cities of our country
will thus also set higher standard of
public morals"
So little has been said about the real
cause of the uprising against the white
slave traffic and nation wide movement
for social reform that few people realize
that Vermont's senior senator. w. p.
Dillingham;, as chairman of the immigra-
ton commission is responsible for it..
Under his direction full investigation Of
conditions of this abominable traffic was
made and such parts of it as were print
able made public. This information has
enabled those who desired better condi-
tions to wage an effective campaign
against the vice. This is but one OF the
results of the senator's work on the i'm
migration problem.-St. Johnsbury Cal
edonian.

Whatever may be said for and against
the federal intervention in the Colorado
mine war, such intervention has been the
means of accomplishing one great good,
which is the elimination of bloodshed
and loss of life. If conditions had been
allowed to run along as they had been
running under the somewhat loose con
troll by the state of Colorado, it is pos
sible that there might have been further
displays of animosity to the extent that
more lives would have been lost. BY
averting such possibilities, federal inter
vention has justified itself.

to kill dandelions without killing the
grass is not recommended by the de-
partment, although it has been tried by
some who consider it successful. Ex-
periments do not seem to establish it as
a practical method.
This Weed Not Native of America.
The dandelion is not native Amer
lean plant, having been introduced from
Europe several centuries ago. 1t was
first introduced in the East and has
spread westward with our emigration.
The weed is common all over Europe
and has gone into other lands with set
ing found near the communities of man.
The name "dandelion" il said to come
from the French, "dent de lion" which
means tooth of lion and refers to the
tooth shaped edges of the leaf of the
plant.
The Dandelion as Truck Crop.
The dandeliGn is widely used through
out Europe as truck crop. Certain for
eigners recently arrived in America have
continued to use the plants a vegetable
and Italians in the neighborhood of
large cities have made considerable prof
it by gathering and taking it to mar
ket.
How To Get Rid of Piantains.
Another weed that injuries the beauty
of many lawns is the plantain, of which
there are two varieties; the buckhorn, or
rib grass; and the common, or broad
leaf.
The same methods that apply to Grad.
icating the dandelion apply to the PLAN
tain except the method of poisoning the
individual plant. Instead of cutting off
the top and sprinkling the root with
salt as is done in the case of the dande-
lion, the individual plantain may best
be removed by pulling up by the root
after heavy rain when the ground is
wet The plantain does not offer a diff
cult problem, as the roots are pulled up
readily, even from clay soil, after
heavy rain.
