Compound Kills
Growth OF Pest

In line with the campaign against
poison oak which will soon be started
in Ashland, the following clipping re-
garding the results of experiments in
exterminating the poisonous brush
which are being carried on in Eugene
are of considerable interest. The city
council has had it's hands full with
other more important affairs during
the past weeks, but as soon as time
can be made, will go after the poison
oak:
What is believed to he sure death
to the plant known as poison oak has
been discovered by l.. p. Wygle, SUI
perintendent of Riveryiew park on
SINNERS butte. Superintendent Wy
gle is using a compound of white ar
senic and caustic potash or potassium
and believes that the combination
will prove the determination of the
weed if used
This formula will kill all visible
signs of growth in the poison oak,
said the superintendent, but whether
or not it will affect the plant deep
enough to kill it for all time remains
to be seen. The idea is that the pot
ash will kill the leaves and upper
part of the plant while the arsenic
will go into the ground and remain
to kill the plant and prevent further
growth. We are using a spray with
force pump and applying it in this
manner
Superintendent Wygle has made
an extensive study of this plant in
hopes that he might find a formula
that will kill it. He spent consider
able time in the university library
last winter in studying the plant and
its nature. He also communicated
with the University of California,
MASSACHUSETTS Agricultural College
and the Oregon Agricultural College,
from which he gained the best in
formation. He found that they all
recommended arsenic in a prepara-
ton for killing the plant. He also
found, however, that no material on
the extinction of the weed seems to
be in existence. The poison oak is
a close relative to the poison ivy of
the eastern states.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1915-04-29

This formula sprayed on the
plants kills the tops at contact. 1t is
also good ,or the killing off Of grass
along the edges of gardens or tennis
courts whore people have trouble in
keeping the lawn evenly cut said
Wygle. However, it is harmful to
the soil and should not be used where
cultivation is intended afterwards as
it will pro"ent any sort of vegetation
from growing
cone Of the men working under
Wygle used a diluted form OF the
formula on his arm where he had
broken oJt slightly. He stated that
it seemed to help him, but the present
form is dangerous to use as it is very
powerful The oak poison is an oil
poison and any form OF alkali is a
good antidote."

THE PESSINuST FREELY.

A pessimist FREELY sat on a weed
In the dark of a moonless night;
With folded wings dropped over his
breast
He moDed and he moaned for light.
"There is nothing but weeds on the
earth," said he,
"And there isn't a star in the sky;
And the best I can do in a world like
this
Is to sit on this weed and die;
Yes all that | need
Is to sit on this weed
Just sit on this weed and die.
There is naught but this miserable
swamp beneath,
And there isn't star overhead"
Then be your own star! Then be
your own start"
An optimist FREELY said.
"If you'll leap from your weed, and
will open your wings,
And bravely fly afar,
You will find you will shine like a
star yourself,
You will be yourself a star;
And the thing you need
Is to leap from your weed
And be yourself a star"
Then the pessimist FREELY leaped
from his weed
And floated far and free;
And he found that he shone like a
star himself,
Like living star was he.
And the optimist firefly followed and
said:
"Why sit on a weed and groan?
For the FREELY, friend, who uses his
wings
Has plenty of light of his own;
lie has plenty of light
For the darkest night,
He has plenty OF light of his own"
Ye FREELY souls with your folded
wings,
Why sit with the weeds in the
night?
Lift up your wings and illumine the
dark
With your own self-llfninant light.
For darkness comes with the folded
wings
And shroUds the starless land;
But there's light enough for the dark
est way,
If YOU let your wings expand.
There is plenty of light
For the darkest night
If YOU let your wings expand.

The Big Gray Car
LIVE FISH EXHIBITED
AT EXPOSITION

During the month OF February the
Oregon fish distribution car Rainbow
was used by the United States Bureau
of Fisheries and the state of Wash
ington in transferring a live fish ex-
hibit from Seattle to the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco
The trip was made under the direc-
tion Of T. ]. Craig, who has been in
charge of the car ever since she was
built.
The Rainbow left Portland for Sc
attic on February s, where some good
specimens of Dolly Warden, rainbow
and steelhead trout were secured.
Crappies, bass and sturgeon were
loaded from the Columbia river.
More steelheads were taken at Grants
Pass, while at Sisson and Dunsmuir
some fine golden trout and others
were added to the exhibit.
At the federal building in San
Francisco a splendid exhibition of
live food and game fishes OF the Pa
cific coast has been installed. 1t was
found that the water used at the ex-
position was not satisfactory for the
live exhibit, so special apparatus for
aerating and purifying the water had
to be put in to make the exhibit a
success. 1t is attracting the atten-
tion of many people at the exposition.
