THE VERY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid absolutely deBtroys all weeds and other growth wherever applied, 

 and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and 

 thus saves a great deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away 

 of the weeds is required. 

 We manufacture the strongest line of DISINFECTANTS on the market.

TO ERADICATE JUNE BUGS. 



If the common brown May beetles, 

 otherwise known as "June beetles" or 

 "June bugs," are numerous this spring, 

 it means a serious infestation of white 

 grubs next season. The grubs, which 

 do their damage by feeding upon the 

 roots of grasses, corn, potatoes, straw- 

 berries and seedling trees, especially 

 conifers, are the larvae of these May 

 beetles. Most of them live in the 

 ground for three seasons before they 

 change into beetles, becoming larger 

 as they mature. The entomologists of 

 the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture prescribe these methods of 

 eradicating this pest in each stage of 

 its infestation. 



When heavy flights of May beetles 

 are noticed, spray trees with an arsen-

ical, such as Paris green or asenate of 

 lead, to poison beetles feeding thereon. 

 Plow grass and small-grain land previ- 

 ous to October 1, to destroy young 

 grubs recently hatched from eggs laid 

 by May beetles. 



When small grubs are abundant in 

 the fall, pasture hogs. Plow thorough- 

 ly previous to October 1. Seed such 

 land to small grain or clover for the 

 following year. Do not plant corn or 

 potatoes on such land the following 

 season. Allow chickens the run of 

 fields when plowed. 



When small grubs are abundant in 

 the spring, seed such land to srnall 

 grain or clover. Do not plant corn or 

 wide-row crop in such land. Put corn, 

 potatoes, field beans, etc., on ground 

 which has been cleanly cultivated the 

 preceding year. Pasture hogs on in- 

 fested ground and give chickens the 

 run of fields when plowing and culti- 

 vating. 



When large grubs are abundant in 

 the fall or spring, plow infested land 

 about October 1. Delay planting until 

 the 15th or 20th of May, or a little 

 later if practicable. Ground contain- 

 ing large grubs in spring should be 

 plowed as soon after July 15 as prac- 

 ticable, as indicated below. Pasture 

 hogs in infested fields wherever prac- 

 ticable. 



When beetles or pupae are in the 

 ground in summer, plow thoroughly so 

 as to break clods, any time after July 

 15: the sooner after that date the bet- 

 ter. Pasture hogs in infested fields. 



PLANTING BEFORE FERTILIZING. 



A report from one of the large New 

 England fertilizer houses indicates 

 that the abnormal demand for fertiliz- 

 ers this spring is causing and will con- 

 tinue to cause serious delays in ship- 

 ments. It is extremely advisable, there- 

 fore, that as far as possible the crops 

 should be planted at the proper time 

 whether or not the fertilizer is avail- 

 able; making application of the ferti- 

 lizer after planting is necessary. 



With active, soluble fertilizers which 

 can be applied on the surface, fertiliz- 

 ing after planting is quite practicalile. 

 If the fertilizer is cultivated in, or 

 scratched in with the weeder at the 

 first weeding, the first rain will carry 

 the soluble material down where it is 

 needed and the usual satisfactory re- 

 sults should follow. 



To put off planting because the fer- 

 tilizer is not at hand is most decidedly 

 a step in the wrong direction. The 

 emergency method suggested is strong- 

 ly recommended.
