Mr. McNair was called upon to aid in getting rid of the ivy. ' _ . e The method of eradicating the ivy is very simple. It can be destroyed by spraying- with low-grade kero- sene, which sufropates the cells in the plant tissue and causes destruc- the chemical action. Higher grades of kerosene are not so <ective"be- cause they' are too -refined. and. too volatile. The maximum' effect. may he obtained in hot weather, hen the soil and air are dry., Crud: _oil as well as kerosene is effective. Re- peated gutting of.the plant close to the" ground facilitates destruction through starvation. The cutting causes it' to use up a11.the food stored in its roots, and, due to lack of fol- mg, the plant is prevented from manufacturing new ‘food for ke- L'rowthuc. . .' son ivy, according to Jimes B.
