In Kansas it is suggested that the best
way to get rid of the dandelion is to
make it an object of careful cultivation,
offer prizes for the finest specimens, and
induce Congressman to send out pack
ages of dandelion seed. Kansas knows

sents, 1t is the seedd;stributing activi-

Dandelion seed costs money. Las
year we purchased a half ounce at a
rate Of about IS a pound and when it
came up 1t was lettuce. But those
which inhabit our lawn are the genu-
