GARDEN TIME
Except jx the mountain itmi
this Is not the proper time to
plant lawn grasses The young
seedlings do not get well started
before hot weather Is upon them
and burns them out. Bermuda and
Centipede grasses are exceptions
to the rule, and are best planted
In April or May. Other grasses
auch as bluegrass. fescues and rye
grass should be planted in the fall.
However, we may as well face the
fact that as long as new homes are
being completed during late spring
and early summer we will also
have new lawns planted during
those difficult months.
A good lawn well kept is a beau
tiful thing and is an asset to any
property. The hot weather months
are the critical period in the main
tenance of a lawn. It should be
feiu..ted every five to six weeks
throughout the growing season. If
you haven't already done so. put
on an application of good garden
fertilizer such as a 6-8-6 or 8-8-8 at
the rate of 20 pounds per 1,000
square feet. Water this in or ap
ply it just before a rain. For the
remainder of the season me about
five pounds of nitrate of soda per
1,00 square feet at each applica
tion. This should be applied when
the grass is dry and preferably
just before a rain.

Watering is a very important o]
e ration. Soak the soil thoroughly i
I least once a week during dry weat
1 er rather than light sprinkling
each day altho these light sprinl
lings will do a lot of good.
Frequent cutting is desirable bi
I close cutting will do much harr
1 to some of the better grasses sue
as blue grass. Set the mower blad
es a little higher for these grasses
If you have a good stand of gras
and keep it well fertilized ant
*med when necessary, weeds wi]
not thrive in a lawn. It weeds be
come established, late spring i
a good time to eliminate them wit!
a spray of 2, 4-D. This spray wil
also kill wild onions. Use 2, 4-D wit)
care because it will kill you
shrubs and flowers as well as th<
weeds. Even the spray mist car
ried by the wind may cause a lo
of damage to other plants, f
sprayer that is used for 2,4-1
should not be used for other spraj
t u eposes.

Trees Make
Mone yFrom
Poor Land
Trees can matte money on land
that wouldn't produce any other
"money crop."
H. D. Godfrey of the State ASC
' Office Is stressing the fact that
1 trees can make money on land
which now produces little or
nothing. Land that isn't good
enough to grow crops and will not
' grow enough grass to deserve the
name of pasture can grow enough
wood each year to bring consider
able income to the owner of the
I land, according to Godfrey.
' Godfrey cites the experience of a
former who divided his 150-acre un
developed woodlot into five 30-acre
units. He harvests the wood on
one of these units each year when
there is little other work. His pulp
wood thinnings from old stands for
the first five years on each of the
units have brought him nearly
$2,000. Each unit looks like It. will
bring even more at the end of the
second five-year term.
Not only will these woodlot plant
ings pay in money, but they help Id
the conservation of soil and water.
On steep or shallow land, they will I
help slow down the flow of water
off the land and lead it into the
ground, thus reducing erosion.
The water is available for crop
production or becomes a part of
the underground water supply that
maintains the flow of streams dur
ing dry weather and furnishes wa
ter for wells. j
It is because trees are such use
ful crops in saving soil and water
that their planting and growth is
encouraged through the Agricul
tural Conservation Program, God
frey points out. In North Carolina
assistance is available to farmers
to make tree plantings and to care
for such plantings after they are
made. Complete details about that
I assistance can be obtained from
[the County ASC Office.
