Spraying Being Used
To Control Weeds
(By Assoclated Press

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 6.-Spray-
ing has been used to control many
kinds of pests and now is being used
to control weeds, especially on tennis
courts, where every swing of hoe or
other instrument mars the surface
Announcement was made today at
Purdue university that weeds which
usually appear on tennis courts may
be killed through the use of sodium
arsenite. The remedy was tried near
the agricultural experimental station
at Purdue. and in few days the
weeds wer gone.
The courts were treated with a So
luton of arsenite, the most power
full plant poison known. The cost was
S1.50 per court. The arsenite was OBJ
tanned in the form of concentrated So
luton at 81 per gallon. 1t was diluted
with 25 gallons of water and applied
by use of a sprinkling can. Arsenic
of soda, however, is a deadly poison
and care must be taken, it was added,
to keep small children away for a
week after the courts are treated.

believed that Whalen was seized
with cramps. His cries attracted the
attention of Capt. Thomas Posey and
members of the crew of the Columbia
Dredging Company's machine near
by. Employees soon set out in small
boats and made a futile effort to re-
cover the body. The body was re-
covered by Guy Woods of Alexandria
today.

wife and some of his children, who
had been visiting at the houseboat
of S. w. Davis. on the opposite side
of the river. returned to Alexandria
