IN&G Of IMS Common Salt, Mineral Oils, axsd Sod ium Atsenite Are ,Comparatively lirsxpensive and Efettive if Used P0pPerly-l-Apply Thein-In Cloudy, Humid Weather for Best Results. Killing weeds is usually attended by the necessity of preserving grass or other vegetation and eonsequently involves considerable work. Some times, however, it is depigble to keep an area clear of all vegetdble life, as in the case of driveways, pavements, sidewalks, tennis courts, railroad rights-of-way, ditches, etc. In such cases a good chemnical weed killer, properly used, will perform the work more quickly and easily and often more e h4ply. The ntied 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 .Ai been found generally satisfac tory. 'They are .sodiujn arsenite, oil, and common salt. Sodium 'arsenite is the most powerful plant poison known that is cheap and readily pre pared, and is the active constituent of ;practically all proprietary "wood killers." It is rather diflicult to ob tain ready made, and shoild be used while fresh, as it oxidizes readily and hardens '-when exposed to the air for several weeks. Preparing Sodium Arsenite For peregns 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 1 Caustice soda .sodium hydroxide) pounds -- ---- ------ -- ----.... 2 Or high-grade concentrated lye < 4)-------- ----- -- --------... 3 White arsenic (arsenic trioxide) do -..... ------------ 4 Water, to make, gallon-......_-.. 1 The caustic soda should be -in the granulated form and of th grade known as 95 per cent, technical. This quality -of caustic soda is sold in druims containing 5 pounds or more and can often be obtained from dhal ers in laundry supplies. lor small operations the pure caustic soda, which comes in the form of sticks is convenient. White arsenic is a line, white powder which is easily obtain able. Mix the caustic so(a or 1-ye with the white arsenic in a wooden,. earthenware, 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 dlIe. The heat generated is usually suflicient 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---- .---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 bje boiled to bring the arsenic into solu tion. In either of the above formulas 1 gallon of the solution contains 4 poun(s of soluble arsenic trioxide, or approximately 5 1-3 pounds of ar senite of soda.

The amount to be used 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 1 gallon of concentrated stock solution would make suflicient 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 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 u) new leaves as fast as the old ones are killed. As it is impracticable to use enough chemkieal to penetrate the soil and 4Iill 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. 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 salt is a cheap and easily obtained chbmical 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 so'ution of 3 1-3 pounds to the gal lon is applied at the rate 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. ATLANTA DETECTIVES PRlESENT D)EFENSF: Atlanta, Ga., April 25.-Presenta tion of de~fense testimony by various members of the city (detective (IC part ment with connivance with gamb>lers and( swinidlers -was begun before the councilmanic comnmittee here late today with statements that the city dletective force is not large enough to handle the situation. Three mnembers of the detective dlepnrtment anid .John Starnes, a former city dectective, were called at the first session for the (deese and most of the testimony centeredI on the killing soveral years ago of ISd Mills by Floyd Woodward, both al leged members of a band of confi (dence mn. Woodwardt told a coro nor's jury he Ahot Mills in self deC fense and he was not blound over t~o the grandl jury. The detectives tes tified that they made as thorough an inquiry as possible into the case, while on cross examination counsel for the citizens' committee tried to show theIr work was not coordinated. P'resentationi of 43 sealed indict. ments in connection with the grand jury investigation of the alleged "bunco" syndicate w~ii niot be made until after the counsel's investigation has beeni concluded, it was announced todlay. That decision was reached by the members of the grand .iury, it was stated. TlWO) iBUDOETy HiLLS BEFORliE CONGRESS Washington, April 25.-T-'he nai-. tionial budget bill, with tihe samne pro vision which causedl its veto Iast year b~y President Wilson, was re ported to the house today by Chair rman Good, of the special budget comn mittee. The nieasure, as agreed upon01 by the senate and house in the 66th con.. gress, was objected to by tile pres, lulent because of the section pro viding that the comptroller general and .his assistant, whlose (offices would be created by the measure, be subject to removal by im peachm meat or by c:oncurrent resolution, after hearing, for neglect, inaefiey or malfeasance. Mr. Wilson held that the nresidlent wvho would appoint these officils, alone could remlove them. In p resenting the measure Chair man Good rep6rted th~t one chanige provided for appointment by the pres adent of a dlirector and assistant di.. rector of t~he burenu of budget, at .alories of 10,000 id ?,Qd respec tively. The old bill made the sec rotary of the treasury the direc tor. A similar bgdget bill, introduced by Senator McCormick, Republican, Illinois, also was reported favorably late today by the senate budget com mittee. * - 0 TALK IN HOUSE OF DISARMAMENT Consideration of Naval Bill Postpon end-Much Money Needed-Nine ty Million Dollars Would Be Used to Coniplete Building Prograon of 1916. Washington, April 25.-Disarma ment sidetracked consideration of the naval appropriation bill in the house today, when Representative Kelly, Republican, Michigan, brought forward the committee proposals 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 bbilding program. The ex pansion program, Mr. Kelly asserted, would help "to lift the load now on the shoulders of the world for arma ment construction and maintenance." "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 adlequate navy and also urged that there be the nucleus of a large army for the United States. le declared,'however, that the "time has come for an international conference for the sake of stopping this nad dening conmetition for the construc tion of armadlas.'" 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 Unite(d States.
