WHY DANDELIONS ARE WITH US--DR. CHARLES
Golden Pests and Grass Have Been Enemies Time Out
of Mind
Consider the dandelions, how they multiply; they toil not, neither do they spin; yet Solomon in his glory was not clad as is Mt. Oread this spring. The campus has a wonderful golden glow because no power to efface; it is only changed by the graying process of time.
Dame not the superintendent on grounds if you happen to be one who prefers green to yellow for campus decoration. He can't prevent Egyptians could avoid their plagues; they come and must be borne with fortitude.
"Waves of dandelions strike unvery much as locusts do," says Dr. Grace Charles, assistant professor of botany. "Dandelions have certain natural enemies, one of which is grass, and if their enemies are also weakened them down, the dandelions get the upper hand and flourish as the green bay tree. Our present invasion is probably due to the fact that the grass when cut is always carried off and the soil is robbed of its fertilizing value. The grass is not so hardy and lacks power to starve of dandelions. It is more powerful who then dig the grass on their laws are practically free from the pest, and that they flourish best where the grass is clipped short."
Certain saitis kill dandelions, but they will also kill grass and when the former are so think as they are here, chemists should be more harmful helpful.
Be consolled and cease to struggle against the pest. When freshmen are seniors, the natural enemies of the dandelion may recover. Until then, no dandelion-digging holidays will be of use.
