I'm sure, that this is the ideal lawn- making time, once you know the facts. Dnring this season moisture is more nuniform; weeds Aess troublesome, grass grows best. AIl these help the ifaîl-niade lawn become well estab- lished and, strong enongh to, go throngli extremely hot weathier which so often kilîs tender,. spring-sown lawns. The following siînplified inethod of lawvn niaking is the result of years of study in tlhe lawn-making problems of the honme gardener. Six steps, eachi carefnlly exercised, lead to a beauti- ful, sn.ccessfnl lawn. 1. Lawn making starts with the careful preparation of the soil. Spade to a depth of six inehes and pulverize thoroughly. If the soil available Is n- ,lined to be stiff and chlayey, incorporate some sand in the toi) few inches. If naturally sandy, use clay and peat moss to give it better retentive power. 2. Apply a eomplete balanced plant food over the pulverized soul at the rate I ef four, pouflds per 100 square feet. Get it on evenly and then lightly %%oi-k into the soil. A plant food spreader is handy for both feeding and seeding the I awn. 3.Wait one <a;fter app>Iying plant food and then seed with good grass seed. Make sur e you have goo(t seed. It's al- ways the nost econoînaval. Use four to five pounds per 1,000 square feet. If you sow by hand put half on cross- wisean the other hiait on lengthwvise. 4Rolto im-bed and t o insure lier- fet contact between seed and soil. A srnall areas if a roller is flot available. This step W5 essential and should not lie (verlooked. 5. Water thoroughly using a very fine spray. Continue daily (or twive daily, if necessary to keeli soil moist) tintil .Leed germination is complete- three to four weeks. 'Thereafter soak lawn to a. depth of five or six inches, oflCC or twice a week. 6. Mowv the lawn when the grass hais1 reached a height of three to three and onie-haîf inches. Be sure to have the niower, newly sharpeneci so that it wîii flot pull up) the young grass. Set the mower as high as it wvill cut. Continue regular euitting untîl frost stops growth.
