Lenn ne —— 
Here is an interesting unsigned obser- 
vation: “Potash will kill grass quicker 
than salt when used in excess. Try it 
some time. Salt is good on some soils. 
In fact the so-called Potash imported from 
Geneva during the first 50 years contained 
more salt than Potash. Not until Ameri- 
can Potash was put on the market did 
farmers get any Potash with less than 
20% salt. Fifty percent KzO (Muriate) 
is 80% Muriate (KCl) and 20% salt. 
Sixty-two percent contains about two per- 
cent salt.” 
Cicero, Illinois—“My experience starts 
about four years ago. In the winter I had 
a downspout freeze up which covered the 
sidewalk with ice. I used rock salt to 
thaw out the downspout and _ naturally 
some of it was spread on the walk. This 
ice I scraped off and threw on my lawn, 
also some of it got on a Paniculata Clema- 
tis which I had growing under gutter. 
Both the lawn and the Clematis suf- 
fered—the Clematis died and the lawn 
was very poor for two years.”

A Few Dog Lovers 
Snap Back 
The dog bulletin evoked much com- 
ment. All but a handful of readers, even 
intense dog lovers, took the various 
reader recommendations good-naturedly. 
So far two readers of five hundred thou- 
sand circulation thought we were spread- 
ing a cruelty campaign. 
The general consensus of opinion was 
that whether or not you or your neighbor 
have a dog, he should be restrained from 
being destructive, especially if there is 
some method of harmless discipline. 
A few folks wanted their neighbors to 
have the bulletin; others suggested that it 
ought to get into every newspaper in the 
country, while many said it gave them 
the heartiest chuckle in years.
