$1.82 a Pound For Dandelions
Students Dig Roots to Make Taraxacum
With backs breaking, pharmacy juniors have been dandelion digging this week—not to try to jump the gun on the April 2 dandelion digging spree, but to continue the annual practice of the pharmacy school to make dandelion roots into preparations which make the little weeds worth $1.82 a pound.
Pharmacy students have been digging taraxacum for 21 years, said D. H. Spencer, professor of pharmacy, Taraxacum, derived
said D. H. Spencer, professor of from the dandelion root, is an officially approved drug which serves as a blood purifier and general tonic.
Each pharmacy junior gathers three pounds of roots in the spring, which in the fall of his senior year he makes into various forms of the drug.
During the past week students have been out with long-bladed shovels called "sharpshooters," designed to cut down six to eight inches to get the entire dandelion root. They are now ready to dry the roots for a week.
Once there was in Lawrence a dandelion tonic factory. George Leis made the tonic in a three-story building on Massachusetts avenue.
Pharmacy students suggest that, if their methods were followed, and the $1.82 a pound price demanded, Dandelion Day might be a profitable enterprise for the University.
