Poison ivy may be sprayed at

Two or three Sprayings with a
good chemical weed killer is the
best way to get rid of this per-

long been used for this purpose.
Use 2 pounds of sodium chlor-

gallons per square rod. This must
be used with great caution be-
cause it is highly inflammable.

A near tragedy in the Silver
Spring area has brought to our
attention a danger which turks
in our gardens. A small child
a toddler-found a discarded
tulip bulb and ate it.
The distraught mother sought
aid from the family doctor and
from the University of Mary
land.
No studies had been made
which showed the tulip to be
poisonous. In fact, it has been
said that tulip bulbs were used
for food by the people of occu-
pied Holland. OF course. it Is
quite possible that the very
young age of the child and the
reaction from the treatment ad-
ministered accounted for some of
the terrifying symptoms. More
over, the bulb might have been
treated with some disinfectant.
The child has recovered. The
thing that made the whole mat
ter of such vital interest to us
all was an article printed in a
newspaper about a year ago.
Many Commonly Grown
The article had been written
by two men who were reporting
the work done by Foster N. Mar
tin. jr., a pharmacologist of Tu-
lane University. Mr.. Martin has
spent some Is years in preparing
a list Of 100 cultivated plants
of which some part or all
is poisonous. Many Of these
plants are, commonly grown.
Probably we have never thought
of any of them as being a danger
to our family. Even now they
are not to be feared.
We do not stop riding in cars
on the highway because some
people are killed in accidents
while doing so. knowledge of
danger should safeguard us in
this as in other matters.

Cutworm Control

Cutworms may destroy early
cabbage. tomato. bean and po-
tato plants. Dusting or spraying
the stems and the ground near
the plants with DDT. chlordane,
or toxophene gives good protec-

or dust, put paper cylinders
around the stems with the lower
edges a half inch under the soil
and 2 inches Of paper above.
