SAM GRIERSON MOVED
TO SAGINAW IN 1900
A note from Charlotte A. Grier-
son, 521 N. 'r'arren ave., Saginaw,
Mich., brings word of a former
Goderich family, that of 161r. and
Mrs. Samuel Grierson, who lest
this town for Saginaw in 1900.
Mr. 'Grierson was a tailor and
is probably remembered by many
of the older residents of Goderich.
Of the family of three sons and
four daughters there are still liv-
ing one sou, Frank, in Detroit,
and three daughters, Lottie, Susie
and Alice.
Miss Grierson writes: "You 'can
tell my old teachers, if there are
any still there, that I think 1
made good. I finished my school-
ing in Saginaw." She mentions
Miss Isabel Sharman, stating that
Laura Brydges, who visited Sagi-
naw at Christmas -time, told her
of honors paid to Miss Sharman
as "the oldest teacher."

The familiar fluff ball contain-
ing the ripened seeds appears
about two weeks after -the flower
opens. Drought does not affect
the Dandelion as the long fleshy
tap root can carry the plant
through many drought spells, thus
giving it a chance to grow and
multiply when .other lawn plants
are in a weakened condition.
Medicinal Use
The young Dandelion makes an
excellent salad or pot herb whose
roots have been used in medicines.
In fact, around 1914 over a hund-
red thousand pounds were being
imported into Canada mill 'U.S.A.
annually. The milky juice sold for
four to ten cents per pound.
Control of the Dandelion with
the spud is very laborious and
back breaking but will give re-
sults if the root is cut off about
four inches below the soil surface.
Pieces broken off the main part
of the root will grow and • produce
plants of their own.
Chemical control is very effec-
tive and considerably easier. Spray-
ing with 2, 4-D where no suscept-
ible flowers or ornamentals are
near, and where no bent grass
is used in the lawn 'will give very
gratifying results, says the Crop
Branch of the Ontario Department
of Agriculture. The chemical can
'be bought at most drug, hardware
and department stores. It should
be applied at rates recommended 1
by the_ manufacturer and before
the Dandelions begin to flower.
Unless. some action is taken to
clean up large areas, new seeds
will blow in and produce a new
infestation. Dandelions are pro-
`ftTs'e" e"ederg-- aria_"'§unit nny' t
motto of those wishing a lawn
free from them must be, "Ever-
lastingly keep at it."
