Cozm.n Salt, Mitersl Oils, and Sod ignm 'Atsenite AreComparatitly I * ive and E tive if Used ljlgjly : n CI' H Weather for Beet Resil t. Killing weeds is usually attended by the necessity of preserving grass or other vegetation and consequently involves considerable work. Some times, however, it is depihee to keep an area clear of all vegetable life, as in the case of driveways, pavements, sidewalks, tennis courts, railroad rights-of-way ditches, etc. In such cases a good chepical weed killer, properly - sed, will perform the work more qulal y and easily and often mo 4 ply. The ied 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 S~e b en found generally satisfac tory. 4hey are .sodluj arsdnite, oil, and common salt. Sodium 'arsenite is the most powerful plant poison known that is cheap and readily pre pared, and is the active condtitueut of ;practically all proprietary "wood killers." :It is rathqr di(leult to ob tait ready madt, anti shotild be used while fresh, as it oxidizes readily and hatdens vehen exposell to the air for severdl bweks. Preparing Sodium Arsenite For'persofis'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 do 3-----....3 White arsenic (arsenic trioxide) do _.-- ..-- _.. _..--- .....- _... 4 Water, to make, gallon-....__.. 1 The caustic sodla should be in the granulated form and of th grade known as 96 per cent, technical. This quality of caustic soda is sold in druis containing 5 pounds or more and can often be obtained from deal ers in laundry supplies. For small operations the pure caustic soda, which comes in the form of sticks is convenient. White arsenic is a fine, white powder which is easily obtain able. Mix the caustic soda or 1-ye with the white arsenic in a wooden, 6arthenware, or graniteware recep tacle. Add the water slowly. In about 30 seconds the solution will be gin to boil violently and should be stirred vigorously with a wooden pad dIle. The heat. generated is usually sufficient to cause all the arsenic to dissolve and the mixture to become a gray, sirulpy liquid. In case some of the arsenic remains in suspension, how ever, it will be necessary to heat the solution until the arsenic disiippears. -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 (oes not generate heat upon adding water, and must be boiled to bring the arsenic into solu tion. In either of the above formulas 1 gallon of the solution contains 4 )ouds of soluble arsenic trioxide, or approximately 6 1-3 pounds of ar senite of soda. How to Apply the Weed Killer To prepare the weed-killer solution "Gatling Gun" IFOGLEMAN' Dynamic, Magnetic Lecturer on Success ini Business an~d Life Harry L.

Success or Failure ? is his subject 2nd Night Redpath Chautauqua One of 11 Big Attractions FIVE BIG EaiAYS' April 27th, May 2nd *Seaan Tickets $3.00 Pbus 10% Tax, STRIu ci arette It's toasted dissolve 5 pounds of prepared sodium arsenite or 1 gallon of the above stock solution in 50 gallons of water, The amount to be usqd 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 solution are required per acre, or I 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 day, 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 dlays 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 lock, 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 chemical to penetrate the soil and hill 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 days. lor ordinary purposes a sprinkling can, a small wvatering cart, or a garden hose and nozzle fastened to a force pumip 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 800 to'400 gallons per acre. A high-powered spray pumlp is very desirable for this work. Common ?alt is a cheap and easily obtained chemical and its use for killing weeds in sidewalks and gutters is well known. Salt is applied either dry or in solution. Dry salt is used at the rate of 3 to 10 tons per acre, or a solution of 3 .1-3 pounds to the gal lon is gpplied at the I-ate of 250 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, and waste .oil.

Washington, April 25.-Disarma ment sidetracked consideration of the navdl appropriation bill i1i the houak today, when Representative Kelo, Republican, Michigan, brobiiit for ard the committee proposal to provide $396,000,000 for the navy's next fiscal year, of which $90,000,000 would be used toward completion of the 1916 btilding program. The ex pansion program, Mr. Kelly asserted, would help "to lift the load now on the shoolders of the world for anna ment construction and maintenanee." "When these ships we are building have been completed," he said, "the IJnited States will equal i p sea power any nation in the world, itnd will be in a position- to offer proportionate redudtion 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 nucleus of a large army for the United States. lie declared, 'however, that the "time has come for an international conference for the sake of stopping this mad dening comifetition for the construc tion of armadas." This view was 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 of the United States. -- 0 - MANY I.
