Experiments in controlling moss in pastures anil lawns by means of solutions of different strengths have been conducted at Lincoln College during the past few months, and it was found that 31b. of sulphate of iron dissolved in two gallons of water, applied by a wateringcan to 100 square feet, killed the moss in 24 hours, and left the grass unharmed. The method was found to be practicable for lawns, but too expensive for pastures.
