Common Salt, Mineral Oils, and Sod inui Atsenite Are, Comparatively I iveahd E eOtive if Used P - ' ly Tlirt :In Cl6Oy, H Weather for'lest Results. Killing weeds is usually attended by the necessity of preserving grass or other vegetation and eonsequently involves considerable work. S qme times, however, it is dephie to eep an area clear of all vegatle lif , as in the case of driveways, pavements sidewalks, tennis courts, railroad rights-of-way, ditches, etc. In such cases a good chepical weed killer, propdrly used, will perform the work more quckly and easily and often mote e holy. The Untied States Department of Agriculture has tested a large num ber of chemicals for the purpose, but most of them are either ineffective or t expensive; but three substances apfe beqen found generally satisfac tory. They ae .sodium arsdnite, oil, and common salt. Sodium 'arsenite is the most powerful plant poison known that is cheap and readily pre pared, and is th'e actiVe c6ndtituent of practically all proprietary "wood killera." It i.s rathqr diricult to ob tai ready made, antI shoild be used while fresh, as it oxidizes readily and hardena when expose'd to the air for severiil weeks. Preparing Sodium Arsenite For perpris' having some experience, in the handling of chemicals sodium arsenite can readily be made at home according to one of the following for mulas: Formula I Caustice soda sodium hydroxide) pounds _2 Or high-grade concentrated lye White arsenic (arsenic trioxide) Water, to ma11ke, gallon------1 The caustic -olka should be in the granulated for. and of hy grade known as 9c per cent, technicdl. This quality of caustic soda is sold in (Irumis containing 5 pounds or more and can often be obtained from deal ers in laundry supplies. For small operations the pure caustic soda, gvhich comes in the form of sticks is convenient. White arsenic is a fine, white power which is easily obtain able. Mix the caustic soda or lye with the white arsenic in a wooden, darthenware, or graniteware recep tacle. Add the water slowly. In about 80 seconds the solution will be gin to boil violently and should be stirred vigorously with a wooden pad tile. The heat..generated is usually sufficient to cause all the arsenic to dissolve and the mixture to become a gray, sirupy liquid. In case some of the arsenic remains in suspension, how ever, it will be necessary to heat the solution until the arsenic disappears. -After cooling thoroughly add enough water to replace evaporation. Formula 2 Washing soda (sodium carbonate or sal soda) pounds ------ ------ 8 Or soda ash (anhydrous sodium car bonate) pounds ------ -- -- ---- 4 White arsenic (arsenic trioxide) do ..4 Water, to make, gallon--_-.__. 1 This mixture does not generate heat upon adding water, and must be boiled to bring the arsenic into solu tion. In either of the above formulas I gallon of the solution contains 4 poulds of soluble arsenic trioxide, or approximately 5 1-3 pounds of ar senite of soda.

The amount to be usqu per given area depends upon the character and size of vegetation, the weather, and me thod of application. For average con ditions 600 gallons of the weed-killer sdlutlon are required por aere, or 1 gallon of concentrated stock solution would make sufficient weed-killing so lution to cover an area 60 by 60 feet. Chemical weed killers give the best results on a cloudy, humid (lay, when rain is not expected within 12 hours. Treatment should not be given while the soil is wet, but if it is very dry it should be moistened slightly to pre vent the chemical from soaking in too rapidly. When the vegetation is large it should be mowed before treat ment, after which it is well to wait several days before treatment, allow ing the vegetation to partially resume growth and exhaust the roots. Not all plants are affected alike by the chemical. Perennial plants like dock, horsetail, and quackgrass are very persistent, and continue to send up new leaves as fast as the old ones are killed. As it is impracticable to use enough chemial to penetrate the soil and kill the roots, it is necessary to exhaust the roots by continually killing back the top growth. Annual plants are usually dead in one to three (lays. For ordinary purposes a sprinkling can, a small watering cart, or a garden hose and nozzle fastened to a force pump are the most conven ient for applying the poison. Almost all oils are destructive to vegetation, but the mineral oils are the only ones cheap enough for gener al use. Oils are usually applied at the rate of 300 to 400 gallons per acre. A high-powered spray pump is very desirable for this work. Common ?alt is a cheap and easily obtained chb mical and its use for killing weeds in sidewalks and gutters is well known. Salt is applied either (ry oi in solution. Dry salt is used at the rate of 3 to 10 tons per acre, or a so'lution of 3.1-3 pounds to the gal 4on is applied at the rate of 2d0 to 400 gallons per acre. There is no particular advantage in having the brine heated. Waste chemicals from industrial works can sometimes be obtained at small costs for weed killing. The most common waste chemicals are sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, calcium calcium chloride, waste acid, lind waste -oil.

Washington, April 25.-Disarma ment sidetracked consideration of the naval appropriation bill io the hou today, when Representative Eel y, Republican, Michigan, broh t forward the committee proposas to provide $306,000,000 for the navy's next fiscal yea", of which $20,000,000 would be used toward completion of the 1916 btuilding program. The ex pansion program, Mr. Kelly asserted, would help "to lift the load now on the shotilders of the world fdr aryna ment construction and maintenatlee." "When these ships we are building have been completed," he said, "the United States will equal in sea power any nation in the world, and will be in a position- to offer proportionate reduction in armament." Theodore Burton, Republican, of Ohio, former senator, supported the committee spokesman in his declara tion for an adequate navy and also urged that there be the inu eus of a large army for the United tates. le declared,'however, that the "time has come for an international conference for the sake of stopping this mad dening comilictition for the construe tion of armadas." This view wias indorsed by Repre sentative Byrnes, Democrat, South Carolina, who turning to taxation features involved in military pro grams, said congress this year would appropriate five and a half billions or $50 a head for each citizen ot the United States.
