LAWN WEEDS 
Weeds are without doubt the greatest enemy 
of all cultivated vegetation, be it lawn, vege- 
table, flower garden or field crop. Invariably 
they thrive anywhere, particularly on soils so 
sterile that the crop intended for that area can 
not thrive. 
Unfortunately, many weed seeds have the 
ability to retain their viability for many years, 
even when buried deep in the soil. When sup- 
posedly “weed free” ground is turned over and 
worked for planting, weeds will start growing. 
Weed seed that has been dormant deep in the 
ground for many years will start to grow when 
worked up to soil surface. Nature has provided 
hundreds of ways of distributing these seeds. 
Some are carried through the air by the wind; 
others by run-off water after a heavy rain. Still 
others become mucilaginous and adhere to ve- 
hicles, the feet and fur of animals and the 
clothes of people. 
ERADICATING WEEDS 
Many methods of eradication, practical and 
theoretical, have been offered to the home gar- 
dener. Many good ways and many not so good. 
The facts we set down here are based upon our 
own knowledge and experiences. No doubt 
there are other methods equally as good but 
space does not allow detailed report. 
Contrary to many beliefs, Sulphate of Am- 
monia is not a very successful way to kill weeds 
as it is a highly concentrated nitrogen fertilizer 
and in many cases will actually increase the 
growth of weeds. A good complete fertilizer is 
good assurance against weeds as a thick healthy 
turf will crowd out many. 
SELECTIVE WEED KILLER 
There are several selective weed killers that 
can be applied in liquid form and successfully 
kill weeds without permanent injury to your 
lawn. The most effective and economical kind 
is LAWN SINOX. It has been thoroughly tested 
and approved by many leading agricultural 
colleges in the United States. It has been used 
considerably here in the Northwest for two 
years with great results. It will control nearly 
all types of weeds—but must be used exactly 
as directed. 
The best results are obtained when the weeds 
are in the early. stages of development and 
growing rapidly. This makes ‘spring or early 
fall applications most desirable. Do not spray 
prior to rain or when the temperature is below 
50 degrees or above 80. Lawns should be 
watered thoroughly for two or three days be- 
fore spraying unless sufficient moisture is pres- 
ent. Lawns should not be mowed a week pre- 
vious to spraying. 
Apply the diluted material with some type 
of pressure sprayer. Distribute evenly over the 
area to be treated. Shallow-rooted weeds 
usually require only one application. Many 
deep-rooted weeds, such as dandelions and 
plantain, may require a second application. 
Repeated applications are made about two 
weeks apart, depending upon growing condi- 
tions and the speed with which the lawn 
grasses recover. Any old, tough, remaining 
perennial plants are easily removed by spot- 
ting, which is done by using the full strength 
stock solution and applying directly to the 
crown with an oil can. The lawn should be 
watered two days after application provided 
there has been no rain in the meantime. Either 
write or come in for more complete information 
on LAWN SINOX.
