USE IRON SULPHATE
TO KILL DANDELIONS
Apply directly to the weeds instead
of spraying if lawn consists of per
centage of clover, advises Ont. Dept,
of Agriculture.
How can I get rid of dandelions in
my lawn? This is a question frequent
ly asked of the Crops, Seeds and
Weeds Branch of the Ontario Dept,
of Agriculture, Toronto.
The spud may be used for scatter
ed plants. Each plant should be cut
off well below the crown and the area
reseeded immediately after. By fol*
lowing this practice each year, at the
same time .maintaining a thick healthy
SOd, it should be possible to keep this
weed tinder control, says John D.
MacLeod of the Crops, Seeds and
Weeds Branch.

tensively to eradicate dandelions. This
chemical can be purchased cheaply at
any drug store and should be applied
at the rate of 1 or 1% lbs. per gallon
of water. Mix the solution in a Wood
en bucket and spray it over the infest
ed areas. It kills the dandedlions and
may cause the grass to appear injured
but seldom permanently harms the
lawn. After a few days the dandelions
may b.e raked out and new seed sown
over the bare spots.
Iron Sulphate will injure clover, so
in lawn consisting of a percentage of
clover it is best to apply to sulphate
directly to the weeds and not over the
entire lawn surface.
Instead of having dandelions smoth
er out the lawn one’s aim should be to
have the lawn smother out the dande
lions. Sowing seed thickly, fertiliza
tion, proper moisture and soil condi
tions will assist greatly. If a lawn is
badly infested consideration should be
given to digging it up, improving the
soil condition and reseeding with a
good lawn seed mixture, Mr. Mac
Leod states.
ward the objective of securing a Do
minion average equal to Saskatch
ewan’s."
This would, naturally, mean that
some provinces might even excel Sas
katchewan’s. record — perhaps Sas
katchewan itself — and to prove that
even this is possible, it is pointed out
that in some Canadian cities there are
now only 15 deaths per 100,000 popu-
laeion from tuberculosis.

A TUBERCULOSIS
CONTROLOBJECTIVE
If one province of Canada can re
duce its tuberculosis death rate so
that it is 47% less than that for the
country as a whole, it is safe to take
the lowest rate as an objective in tub
erculosis control. Even assuming that
Saskatchewan’s climate may be more
favorable to the keeping down of the
tuberculosis mortality, the difference
in the d.eatli rate is so marked that
those who are working to conquer this
disease may well be encouraged.
Dominion Government figures for
1938 credit Saskatchewan with having
only 28.8 deaths from tuberculosis per
100,000 people. Canada’s average was
54.6. This, of course, is a splendid im
provement in the last decade, ten years
ago there being over 80 deaths per
100,000 people.
If the low rate for Saskatchewan
had applied to all Canada in 1938
there would have been only 3233
deaths instead of the actual number of
6122.
When it is considered that the Can
adian rate is only one quarter of what
it was at the turn of the century, an
achievement of which this country
may be proud, those who are special
izing in the fight against tuberculosis
may well feel justified in working to

Sat a Mother, day by day, > . .
Her eyes were bright with longing
For her boys who went away.
She sat there rocking gently’
By a brightly burning fire,
Her smile was sweet and gentle,
Their return was her desire.
The years have touched her lightly,
Though silver tinged her hair,
And when her sons come home again
They’ll find her waiting there.
At last one winter evening
A knock came on the door,
Her patience was rewarded,
Her sons were home <once more.
Her arms went out to hold them,
Those eyes were filled with joy,
No longer need she wait in vain,
She’d found her missing boys.
