FERTILIZER WEED-DESTROYER. 



Discovery of the long-souglit fertilizer 

 that wi'll grow grass and kill weeds is 

 announced by the experiment station of 

 Rhode Island State College as the result 

 of twenty years of research, according 

 to newspaper reports. 



The fertilizer to be used, it is said, is 

 ammonium sodium sulphate, instead of 

 nitrate. 



"Slowly but surely the weeds will dis- 

 appear, and the lawn will become the 

 even, velvety green that is the envy of 

 every neighbor," the experts say. The 

 sodium nitrate, they say, has been favor- 

 able to weeds which thrive in alkaline 

 soil. 



"By using ammonium sulphate," they 

 say, "which is not more expensive, in 

 the same quantities as the sodium 

 nitrate, the required amount of nitrogen 

 is furnished and the soil kept in the acid 

 condition under which the grass develops 

 best, but the weeds are so weakened that 

 they are crowded out." 



SIGNS OF A BETTER FEELING. 



Concerned as to the meaning for this 

 trade of the feeling of depression and 

 commercial gloom which has been 

 spread over the country, florists have 

 welcomed the marked change in busi- 

 ness men's views of tlie outlook, which 

 appears to be better than many would 

 admit a short while ago. Summing up 

 the present situation, W. P. G. Harding, 

 governor of the federal reserve board, 

 describes it thus: 



"Numerous signs of a better feeling, 

 signs that business is getting ready to 

 proceed on a saner basis, are appearing, 

 and we all feel that we liave ahead of 

 us a time of real, solid prosperity. 



"Our banking position is sound and 

 stronger than it has been for many 

 months, and the business community, 

 which at first was ovcrexhilarated and 

 then unduly dojiresscd, lins recovered its 

 normal state of mind. 



"Public sentiment today undoubtedly 

 approves of working l)ack to normal. 

 Whatever danger of a crisis there may 

 have been has i)assed. The gloomy fore- 

 bodings whicli many felt a year ago be- 

 cause of the knowledge that readjust- 

 ments were impending have given way 

 to a feeling of conservative optimism, 

 renewed courage and restored confi- 

 dence. ' '

 flower-growing business after an absence
