places arsenicals. Sure death to Poison Ivy.

Weeds are costly, dangerous growths and should be killed. 
Farmers lost $3,000,000,000 yearly to profit-choking weeds 
by sacrificing valuable crops to creeping killers. In a battle 
of survival between weeds and crops the weeds will invari- 
ably win. This directly affects the city dweller in the form 
of increased cost of produce and the raw materials the 
farmer furnishes for his daily necessities. Weeds are 
directly responsible, in many cases, for the increased cost 
of food production. Added costs in the production are 
passed on to the retailer and consumer, creating an expen- 
sive situation. 
Weeds Harbor Germs 
Weeds are the common homes of many injurious insects 
and germs and act as the hosts to many plant disease germs 
and parasites. Valuable crops have been ruined by potatoe, 
tomato and cucumber mosaics, black stem rust of wheat 
and oats, ergot of barley and rye, Strawberry leaf spot, 
carrot blight and club roots of cabbage. Insects find their 
natural habitat in weeds and have been known to destroy 
entire crops. Many are responsible for carrying animal 
diseases, making weeds-infested pastures unsafe for live- 
stock. Polio, as many San Antonians know, lurks in weed- 
infested waters and weeded refuse heaps. Weeds make 
pasture lands poisoned traps for livestock and humans. 
Who has entered a poison ivy pasture and escaped its sub- 
sequent effects? 
Weeds Lower Values 
The sale of many properties (perhaps yours) has been lost 
because of unsightly weeds on the premises. Farm land 
which has become weak and sluggish after yearly attacks 
of voracious weeds is obviously worth less than that which 
is virile and productive. Then, too, weeds are eternally 
pointing accusing fingers at land owners whose lack of 
time to devote to the clearing of their property has branded 
them as lacking in pride of ownership. Weeds, like dirty 
clothing or a trash-littered yard, reflect on the character of 
the owners. Progressive real-estate agencies always insist 
on weed-free properties before they add them to their 
listings or take immediate steps to clear the land of weeds 
before they put it or the house up for sale.
