Aithough it generally graws as a trailing vine, or as a number of separate plants frming patches of varying thickness and size, it may climb a tree ar telegrapli Ipaie for a cansideralile heiglit. Its on the woody stem with each leaf bearing three leaflets, which may vary in size, shape, color or in outiine but which will always be in threes. Clusters of greenish- yellow fruits about the size of peas develop on poison ivy in some locations, and these fruits gradually turn white. Poison ivy ada having trifoliate leaves and white fruit. The rash which can prove so distressing ta many people is caused by coming into contact with the non-volatile sticky sub- stance which is on the plant. This substance may remain active on gloves, tools, shoes and picnic baskets for months. Dogs, cats, or even smoke from burning poi- son ivy can transmit the sub- stance. The best preventative ineasure is ta iearn ta recognize poison ivy and flot ta picnîc or sit near it. If poison ivy does came in contact with the skin. wash immediately with laundry soap, preferably in warm water. Washing with alco- bai, kerosene or gasoine would be of some value if soap and wat- er are not available. Smaii pat- ches or isolated plants in gardens or around summer cottages can best be removred by digging themh out, but as the plant has an ex- tensive root system, thoroughness is essentiai. Gloves and clothing shauld be worn which can be thoroughiy washed or dry dlean- ed. Mare extensive infestations, when not among plants or shrubs which might also be kiied, are best treated with chemicals. Such chemical methods are outiined in a pamphlet, Poison Ivy and Its Eradication, which may lie ob- tained from the Domninion De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
