They have shallow branching ( root systems but these cling, tenaciously to the soil and make hand pulling diffi cult except when the soil is damp. Most of the root must be destroy ed . or a new plant will develop. The holes left by the removal should be filled, with, a good - soil and then seeded. : Individual -attacks may be made with cheap crude acids or (after the war) with gasoline or kero sene. Sulfuric acid or battery acid may be inserted -in the crown of each plant by using a sharp ; ened stick. Or a spring bottom oil can may be used to squirt a bit of fluid into the crown of each plant i The top of the spout should be 1 pressed partially shut so only a little comes out at a time. There are other chemicals-which , may - be used , for "spotting! con trol of weeds and probably new , and better ones will be developed jas time goes on:" "w,- b - In England, success has been re ported in controlling I Common Plantain with iron sulfate but the experience in this country has not been very favorable, aestem gar deners report.

J 7 y i T. S. VfA "One of my friends told me that he had onions in? his garden which, if left alone, sends out more small green' onions w&ch can also be used for eating. I have neither seen or heard of this onion and I have gardened all my life. Can you tell me much about fit-" Ans.: Evidently, until two years ago, there were two of us ignorant onion gardeners.'; I was introduced to the multiplier onion then, and have enjoyed its method of growth since.' Botanists believe ' it, is a sport of the regular onion. It does multiply by root system and. you can continue to pull away a green onion and still have green onions left it is almost the only real case of eating your cake and having it, that I have actually seen in gar dening. - .
