result and whether a liquid or

used, llecause ol a number ol condi

to be sprayed; audi aa whether they
be simple annunla or the more per
sistent perennials and whether they
belong lo the ausceptlble or resist
ant group must be taken Jnto con
sideration when treating weeda. so
that It become rather difficult to
give more than a general Idea ol
iiow much material Is needed.
There seems to be no great dif
ference between the toxicity of the
various materials when compared

contain thin a liquid prepuraUon or

success a long aa the required

In determining the amount to use.
