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, 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, ; Laicn weeds.—Orange hawkweed (Hieraeium aurantiacum, Fig. ), chickweed {Ste
