•,1D ON DANDELION:
„A COMMON NUISANCE
Everyone, knows the common
dandelion. It is of European origin
.and -like the English sparrow, can
be found everywhere. The dande-
-lion thrives on every type of soil
wand under any conditions, says the
"Crops Branch of the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture.
The dandelion has some doubt-
ful virtue as a harbinger of spring.
"Under some circumstances it adds
`beauty to the landscape. The
:young growth can be used as
ggrreens, the blossoms have quest-
ionable value in the production of
a home-made beverage and the
*white milky -juice has very doubt-
-fill medicinal value.
On the other side of the picture,
dandelions are a perennial pst to
-the home owner in his lawn and
garden, to the farmer in his past-
ures and farm yard and to the
'road overseer along roadsides and
•`boulevards of our highways.
Dandelion seeds are carried con-
.. -siderable distances by the wind,
consequently the fight for their
-control is perpetual, perennial and
'continuous.
The old back -breaking method
of control by spudding or a squirt
-,of oil on each plant is now out -
.dated by the more modern chemi-

For Dairy Day

cess of the event last year, sev-
eral committees are now busily

erett -M. Biggs, Ontario Dairy

committee, appointed for the oc-
casion, this week visited the farm
of William Murphy, situated on
the east border of Lindsay, which

cal control methods. Fortunately
dandelions are one of the easiest
Weeds to kill with 2, 4-D. Control
measures are inexpensive, effective
and easy to apply. For lawns, just
purchase a bottle or can of 2, 4-D,
apply in the form of a spray ac-
cording to the manufacturers dir-
ections at ' any time when the.
dandelion plants are showing green
and thrifty.
The first spray should be applied
in the spring when the first blos-
soms appear:- Care must be exer-
cised in preventing the spray from
drifting to nearby ornamentals.
Lawns where bent grass is present
should not be sprayed with 2, 4-D.
