A 3 per cent solution (about 10 pounds to the barrel, or 40 gallons of water), at the rate of 40 to 50 gallons per acre, gives very satisfactory results. The following notes on the effect of the copper sulfate solution on different plants are from obser- vations and reports from various sources: "Plants reported killed by copper sulfate solu- tions: wild mustard, wild radish, wild barley, penny-grass (if young), shepherd's-purse, wild buckwheat, lamb's-quarters, ragweed, sow-thistle, hemp-nettle, bindweed, dock, dodder. "Plants reported severely injured: curly dock, black bindweed, dandelion, sow-thistle and senecio. "Plants reported as not injured: wild rose, pop- pies, pigweed, spurge, corn-flower, field-thistles, chamomile, couch-grass, bent-grass and horsetails. "Crops that may safely be sprayed: all cereals, as wheat, rye, barley and corn; the grasses; peas; sugar-beets. "Crops that are killed or severely injured by the copper sulfate solution : beans, potatoes, tur- nips, ; Lawn weeds.—Orange hawkweed (Hieracium aurantiacum, Fig. ), chickweed (Stcllaria media. Fig. 142), and some other of the shallow- rooted succulent weeds of lawns and grasslands can be combated more effectively by the use of salt than by any
