POISON FOR WEEDS.
An Arsenic Spray Used With Success
In Hawaii.

An Arsenic Spray Used With Success
In Hawaii.
Oficials OF the department of agricul-
ture are greatly interested In reports
received from Hawaii to the effect that
one Of the big sugar companies has
adopted as a regular field practice the
system Of destroying weeds by use Of
an arsenic poison spray instead Of by
hoeing.
Experts who have conducted expert
mcnts on Hawaii sugar lands estimate
that by the spraying method a saving
can bc made in labor Of s15 TO $50 per
acre per annum.
The latest Developments along this
line In Hawaii nre discussed in letter
