Diet of Lions

Lions in their native habits prey
largely upon young antelopes, ze-
bras, buffalos, giraffes and other
vegetation-eating animals. For this
reason it Is often stated that the
lion will not eat the flesh Of car.
nivorous or flesh-eating creatures.
The fact seems to be that lions will
eat the flesh Of any animal recently
killed, such as animals left by hunt
ers. Certainly lions in captivity are
not particular about the kind Of
flesh they eat. There Is also
abundant proof that the king Of
beasts will occasionally attack and
eat human beings. DR.. w. Reid
Blair, in his book in the Zoo" tells
of two man-eating lions in Africa
which carried off IS men employed
in building the Uganda railway

PRACTICAL WEED
| ERADICATION TALK
Profit. Haines, of University
Farm, Addresses Todd
j | Co. Farmers
CHEMICAL NFLAMABLE
Preparation. Recommended by
Expert Is Comparatively
inexpensive
(Long Prairie Leader)

More than one hundred farmers
from all parts of the county attend
ed a meeting at the court house
Saturday afternoon, when Profess
sor w. E. Haines, of the University
farm, st. Paul, was present to eX-
plain the use of sodium chlorate in
the destruction of noxious weeds.
In opening his talk Mr.. Haines
pointed out that sodium chlorate,
the weed killing chemical soon to
be ordered by The Leader, is inf1am-
mable and that precaution should
be taken in it's use. Mr.. HaineS,
using a piece of paper which had
been soaked in a sodium chlorate
solution and later allowed to dry,
demonstrated how easily the pre-
paration burns. While the solution
is wet there is absolutely no fire
hazard whatever, but after it has
been allowed to dry it is highly in
fammable and should be handled as
such.
The amount of the chemical nee
essary for killing weeds was dis
cussed and Mr.. Haines pointed out
that one pound of sodium chlorate
thoroughly mixed with gallon of
water is enough for one application
for one square rod. This solution
is sprayed on the weeds and one
application will in many cases kill
chem out. In the case of the Ca
madam thistle, however, two, three
and even more applications may be
necessary before the weed can be
eradicated. In cases where there
are large areas of weeds it is prob
ably better to thoroughly cultivate
the land in order to exterminate
them instead of using the chemical,
because such a large amount of
chemical would be needed that the
cost of such eradication would pos
sibly be too costly.
Where weeds are found in small
patches, the chemical is the cheap
est, easiest and most certain way
of killing them. Hr. Haines point
ed out that the best time to spray
sow or Canada thistle is just before
it goes to seed, because at that
time it is most easily killed. He al
so pointed out that using a spray
is a much more effective way of
killing weeds with the chemical
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1930-06-05

than by using sprinkler. He sug-
gested that if very much spraying
is done in pasture that it would be
we'll to keep the cattle away from
such areas until after the first
heavy rain. It was pointed out
that a heavy rain following i'm
mediately after spraying would ma
terially reduce the effectiveness of
the chemical.
E. c. Scott, of Round Prairie, the
first farmer in this county to use
sodium chlorate as weed Destroy
er, next addressed the meeting and
told of his experiences. Illustrating
the fire hazard he said that he had
soaked a sack in a solution of the
chemical and that when dried and
ignited it burned with explosive
force. He said that friction or
pounding would not ignite it, but
that a spark or fame is dangerous.
However, with ordinary care there
is no hazard in using this weed de-
stroyer and there is absolutely no
danger in handling the wet solu-
ton.
His experience with sodium chlor-
ate was that one application had
been found to be sufficient to kill
sow thistle, but that in some cases
three applications or more were
needed to kill the more harry Ca
NADIA thistle. Mr.. Scott said that
the more healthy, and the faster
growing the weed is, the more sus-
ceptible it is to the chemical. The
dormant or slow growing plant re-
sists the poison much more than
does the fast growing plant. He
also said that the sodium chlorate
solution is most effective when ap-
piled on a damp or cloudy day, as
it gets into the pores of the leaves
before it has a chance to dry off,
thus permeatitng the entire weed,
causing it's death in from one to
six weeks time. The best time to
apply the solution is after a heavy
dew or in the evening.
Quack grass needs a stronger So
luton than almost any other weed,
UuI NIL. SCOll Sdlu tlldC SNSA IiiiS
weed, when six or eight inches in
height, is very susceptible to the
poison. It is very important that
both the lower and upper parts of
the leaves and foliage of the weed
are thoroughly sprayed, as the
chemical does not penetrate the
plant as quickly when applied to
the stems. Thus it is necessary
that the farmer use good sprayer
which will insure his covering every
part of the plant. Mr.. Scott cited
a case of where he had killed this
tie in corn fields without injuring
the corn by keeping the spray from
reaching the leaves of the corn, yet
at the same time thoroughly cover
ing the thistle.
Foul weeds underneath fruit trees
may also be killed without damage
to the trees as long as the solution
is kept from the leaves of the trees.
The chemical kills the weed by get
ting into the root structure through
the leaves and stems and Mr.. Scott
said that he has killed small trees
Just by spraying the leaves. He cit

Der of graduates has grown until
it has become necessary to concen-
trate on the awarding of degrees if
that part of the ceremony is to be
made sufficiently impressive.
President Coffman believes that
graduation is an occasion of solemn
Importance, at which time the full
significance of college graduation
should be impressed upon the
candidate. It is on this account
that the exercises have been moved
up a week, so that undergraduate
as well as those who are to get di-
plomas may attend.
The baccalaureate sermon will
be preached in the Northrop Me-
mortal Auditorium at II A. M. Sum
day, June 8 by the Reverend Thorn
as w. Graham, dean of the gradu-
! ate school of theology, at Oberlin
College, Oberlin, Ohio. Dean Ora
| ham was at one time secretary of
the University of Minnesota Y. M.
G. A. and later pastor of Andrew
Presbyterian church, one of the
University district houses of wor-
ship.
This will be Minnesota's COM
mencement. Although the Univer-
sity opened it's doors in the fall of
1869 and finished it's first year in
the spring of 1870, the first class
was graduated in 1872, some of the
students having entered with ad-
vanced standing that enabled them
to finish in less than the tradition
al four years.
A vast service to the parents of
graduating students has been rem
dered by completion of the Stadium
and Auditorium. The ample space
in both structures makes it possible
for graduates to invite as many
members Of their families as care to
come, both to commencement and
to the baccalaureate sermon. Form
erly, when exercises were conduct
ed in the Armory, seniors were linn
tied to two tickets for guests and
even that number, added to the
large graduating class, often found
admission difficult.
This year special insignia will be
added to the gowns of those who
graduate with special honors., and
they will be called up first of their
respective groups when degrees are
conferred.
