Chemist Issues WARNING
On Costly Lawn Dressing
By the Associoted Press

Maryland State Chemist L. F..
Bopst has warned home owners to
beware of itinerant truckers selling
lawn dressing" at what he called
exorbitant prices.
He said the material is chiefly
spent tea leaves mixed with earth
and water" 1t usually sells for
about 81 per 100 pounds, Mr.. Bopst
stated.
This lawn dressing has very
little fertilizing value, the chemist
declared. Organic matter of equal
soil-improvement ability could be
supplied from less expensive
sources
Mr.. Bopst explained that the pro-
duct is not subject to the Maryland
fertilizer law and the State Inspec-
ton and Regulatory Service can
offer home owners no protection.
Several Eastern Shore residents
have reported buying the plant food
from statesmen who made eXagger-
ated claims and charged an ex-
