These sprays do not destroy all the plants, but kill many, and prevent the blossoming and the formation of many seeds... â-  i«r77;«f7 ' ?â- :";;â-  â-  The Minnesota and Illinois experi- ment stations have had splendid suc- cesses with the use of a sulphate of Iron (copperas) spray. ^ Spray the lawn, wor badly infested area, every ten days with a spray so- lution made by dissolving one and three-fourth pounds of copperas in a gallon of water. Apply this with a sprayer that has a strong pressure, so that a fine, mist-like spray is formed. Use when the day is warm and bright. If the first few spray- ings seem to produce no effect, make the solution slightly stronger. The lawn grass may be somewhat black- ened, but no permanent damage re- sults. Be careful to keep spray off cement walks, as it discolors them. As the iron sulphate costs but two to three cents per pound it is easy to see that this method of dandelion eradication is cheap, simple, easy of application and -|ibove^-alt^else»-- ef; jective.- 7?7;:< 7:7-f 777:' 7,."^ SNEAK THIEF TOOK ^SURVEYOR'S LEVEL James Wiggington, 1115 Oak ave- nue, doing contract work at 2019 Sher- man avenue, notified the police Tues- day ' that a surveyor's level had been stolen from the latter address Monday night. 77:'777777!'-777777| A.suspicious character was seen loi- tering about the new building late Monday afternoon and the police have a good description of the manr"who-it is-believedr-Is -the^thief^ --The-testru- ment stg#en is valued at $125. â- tw 111 m 1 i r miirii ii^ipiijiiiiiiii|if>|-rir;1flT<;yi.jjiiifiitiiiri ; l.r'iftn.1; r|" i )»)i1jn 11 if^iaiiiriii^ Classified Business LiM ATTORNCYS-AT-LAW feTT ,coL/|ia.sr New Yorlijiifc aidj, Cj Latalle^anf Men Phonea: CtntrareOO*. tvanaton 1f4 m ENTER* CONTRACTOR garpin; t<> Wants Call him M 166, or 609 Davit Stf 1 House B RA Y CLEANING AND PRESSINQ THE NORTHWESTERN CU)TH ES CLEAN E RS i's Suiib Cleaned $1.26;/Sponged 15c.
