Berlin Engineer Invents In expensive Device Ground Nutriment Also Available. ItKlll.IX (fP) Eradicating weeds from a field under cultiva tion may become an easy, inex pensive matter with a cellulose spraying device invented by Ar thur Streich, Berlin engineer. By spraying a field with one part uf cellulo.se diluted with 10 parts uf water, a continuous tough skin, adhering tightly to the ground is produced. This, cannot be dissolved or w-iyhed away by rain, but it ean be peeled off the ground easily! after the harvest. The cost is estimated at one-j fourth to one-half cent per squaiuj yard for a coating half a milli-i meter thick. j TeMts have shown that , it chokes! weeds which have weak germi nal ng power, and hence obviates weeding ami ridging work. At tho same time It insures a richer and better harvest of the crop planted. Stretch says, not only boo a use the nutriment in the ground becomes available solely for the useful plants, but also been une moistu re a nd heat a b-; sorbed by tho earth are pro vented from .evaporating or escap ing. The paper cover thus serves to store heat and moisture so. the temperature remains practically uniform oven during the night. Tho Idea of killing weeds hy covering them . up did not origi nate with Streich. the Inventor pointed out. His spraying pro cess Is an adaptation of a prin ciple first employed by an Ameri can, Charles K, Kckart of Hono lulu. Kckart'M method of covering the fields with tough wood paper is expensive, Streich said. Fr spreading this, paper, especially c-ciiHirucieti paper-laying nmcnnK's pulled by horses or motors had to be devised.
