Haze No Easy Way
To Kill Poison IUy

Three methods. of eradicating poi
son ivy from city or rural property
are recommended by Professor C. j.
Willard, agronomy department, Ohio
State University, who explains that
each plan has disadvantages.
Chemicals which will kill poison
ivy will kill other vegetation so the
ivy must be dug in places where
bare spots for year or more would
be Objectionable. Digging should be
done by persons immune to ivy
poisoning, or b. someone who wears
gauntlet gloves which can be dis
carded.
All roots of the ivy must be re-
moved or the job must be repeated.
If gloves are worn and the hands
and arms afterwards are washed re-
peatedly with laundry soap which
has an excess of alkali, the digging
can be done by persons susceptible
70 IVY pOlSUHlilS.
Crankcase oil diluted with kero-
sene, ferrous sulphate solution, COM
mon salt solution, and several other
materials will kill the foliage of
poison ivy. Repeated applications of
the sprays will destroy the ivy, but
the control may take two or more
seasons and all vegetation on the
treated spot will be destroyed along
with the ivy.
Sodium chlorate will destroy both
the foliage and the roots of the ivy
if applied at the rate of three pounds
to a square rod or IL pounds to 1000
square feet. Other vegetation is de-
stroyed but the ground will produce
plants again in about one year after
the treatment.
I Sodium chlorate is sold as a prac-
tically pure material, as a mixture
with ground limestone, and as an in
gredient in some trademarked weed
killers. Sodium chlorate should be
used only when necessary precau-
tions are taken to protect the user.
The material may be applied in
powdered form or as a spray. Rub
Der boots and old clothing which can
be discarded afterward should be
worn while applying. Sodium chic
rate will make wood, leather, or
cloth so inaammable that the ma
terial may start burning when
rubbed. The chemical always should
be stored in metal containers if re-
moved from the manufacturers
drum.
Applications of sodium chlorate to
destroy ivy usually are most success
ful in the fall or spring. Rain is
needed to carry the chemical into
the soil to reach the roots of The
ivy.
