DEATH TO POCHKYn

With the City Council city clean up program in the offing, this is the time for us to think of eradicat- ing that nuisance plant called wild celery" known locally as 'Pochky." It is that prolific weed with large leaves, topped with um- brella-like clusters of white blooms and unpleasant odor when crushed, that is poisonous to so many per sons especially children.
 In certain stages of growth the plant is edible, but later in the season the juice can cause painful blisters and burning sensation. Many suggestions for ridding the community of the weed have been offered. One longtime resident told of cutting the plant close to the ground, then pouring common household lye onto the roots. This would, no doubt, kill the plant but there is also the chance that child. ren and pets might come into con- tact with the lye. Probably the most efficient method is that of digging up the roots, and that is easiest at the present time, while growth is just beginning.
 We really had to do a lot of dig ging to get the correct spelling of "Pochky." Although most of us know and dislike the plant, no one seemed to know how to spell .lle name. We were given such yer sionS as "Putschke," Pootski," "Pushka" and many others Thanks are due to Mrs. Roman Sumner for the correct spelling.
 The slogan Death to Pochky" has been suggested as one to keep in mind.

Bass says the composition of the
seed mixture and the termination
are more important than the price.
The cheapest seed price wise, he
warned, may turn out to be the
most expensive in the long run.
Most low-price lawn seed mixtures,
Bass said, contain excessive
amounts Of filler grasses. These
die out during or after the first
year. 'rhey leave large bare spots
requiring reseeding the following
year. Some of the cheap lawn seed
mixtures also contain such things
as timothy and lespedeza. These
are entirely undesirable in a lawn, .
Bass. said.
He reported spot survey of ten
brands of lawn seed mixtures Off
cred for sale in Iowa last year
showed:
% Three brands containing no
Kentucky bluegrass or creeping
red fescrge at all; (2) Four brands
contained less than 20 per cent
Kentucky bluegrass. Two Of these
contained no creeping red fescue.
One contained aboId Is per cent
and another aboEf 30 per cent
creeping red fescue; go One
bf4nd contained about 80 per cent
Kentucky blue grass and % per
cent creeping red >fesCue; (4) Two
brands contained As to so per cent
Kentucky bluegrass and about IS
per cent creeping red fescue.
"In other words" Bass warned,
"only two Of the ten brands in
cluded in the survey contained
anywhere near the minimum re-
commended amount of Kentucky
bluegrass seed which is the most
important component Of lawn
seed for Iowa and the most of the
rest of the country"
