Thele chemical can be purchased cheaply at any ,dt-ug store and should be applied at the rate of 1 or 1% lbs. per gallon of water. Mix the solution in. a wooden bucket and spray it over the infested areas It kills the dandelions, and may cause the grace .to appear injured but seldom permanently harms the lawn. ,.Atter a few days the dande- lions may be raked out and new seed .soyn over the bare spots. Iron Sulphate will injure clover, so in lawns consisting of a percent- age of glover it is best to apply the sulphate directly to the weeds and not over the entire lawn surface, Instead of having dandelions smother oat the lawn one's aim should be to havt the lawn amather out the dandelions.
