Patches of Quack Grass Eradicated by Mowing Tests by the Indiana experiment station demonstrated that patches of quack grass can be eradicated by mowing, and saturating a month later with sodium chlorate used at the rate of one pound per gallon of water. Rest results are had when the grass Is mowed and the sprouts saturated when from six to ten Inches high. At least two applications are usually needed for complete eradication under un-der farm conditions and sometimes more where the work has not been done carefully. Sodium chlorate is said to he more effective than sodium arsenate and Is Inexpensive nnd non poisonous to man, farm animals, or soil.
