Bubncriae tn The Franklin Times HOW TO A> ATTRACT i VE ! LAWS Raleigh, Sept. 8. ? "How can I secure a good lawn?" and "What can I do tp restore the fresh and velvety ap pearance of my lawn?" are two ques tions coming constantly to horticul tural workers of the State College Ex tension Division. "We have found" says C. D. Mat thews. Chief of the Division of Horti culture. "that the most satisfactory way to renovate the old lawn is o make a liew one; consequently dlrsc tions ft* establishing a lawn will ap l/!y to |hos; who ask both o? the above questions. The time of year is ap proaching when work on establishing a satisfactory lawn can be done with advantage. Much work on the lawn, usually done under high pressure In the busy, crowded months ot April and May, may be very successfully performed with com|\aratlve leisure In Autumn. At this time the soli is In admirable condition for working."' Mr. Matthews statu that It is not easy to have a good lawn but it care ful attention is given to the different factors Involved one may be secured thatwlll be a source ot satisfaction to the home owner. It ft impossible to get soil too good for making' a lawn. The best soil is a rich loam contain ing a fair portion of clay with a ten dene y to be rather heavy and com pact and fairly retentive of moisture. It should be deepand porous so that the roots can penetrate deeply. Wet soils should be properly drained, and sandy soils Improved with humus. The soil around new building Is generally unsuited as it consists mostly of un Forestall Dreaded Chills and Fever Ho on# nMd sufter the a ease* el recurrence of Chills and F?t?r, with iu terribly weak ening affect. wintersmitlfa Chill Tonic will kill your China and tak Jail the Malaria oat of your ?ysteix.

'fertile subsoil mixed with building debris. In such a case soil from a cultivated field should be hauled in to a depth of 12 Inches. A reasonably fertile soli should be plowed or spaded to a depth of 6 inches, An application of 1,000 pounds of lime per acre should be spread ever the surface. Since the lawn is permanent proposition every means should be taken to bring the soil into a high state of fertility. One thousanr pound s to the acre of equal parts of ground bone and cotton seed meal v ould be p ralue. "For eastern and central Carolina." says Mr. Matthews, "the type of grass es to be grown will depend on whether or not the lawn can be watered regul arly and given good attention. It the iiwn can be given the best of atten tion 100 pounds per acre of a mixture made of equal parts of Kentucky Blue grass creeping Bent grass, -Sheep fes cue and Perennial rye grass is recom menced. This mixture should be seed ed in October or November after the ground has been properly prepared and the fertilizer added. "If it is impossible to water the lawn regularly it will be necessary tc use a combination of Bermuda and rye grass. Bermuda may be regarded as the permanent lawn grass in the l&wer Piedmont and Coastal Plain of the South. It i b a rapidly creeping gruPE, makes a substantial growth in warm weather but unfortunately suf fers from cold and turns brown as frost touches it. Though the roots are frermanent and will survive the win ters, the tops die and it Is necessary to use a companion grass to give a green appearence in winter. By sow ing in October a generous amount of perennial rye grass on the Bermuda sod and adding at the same time a good application of bone meal and cot ton seed n]eal a green cover may be had throughout the winter. The Ber muda lawn may be secured by sowing the chopped up runners in March or 6 pounds per acre of the Bermuda grass seed may be sown in eary Spring." I MORE MONEY POR COTTON Raleigh, Sept. 1. ? Farmers of North Carolina who are members of the Cotton Growers Coperatlve As sociation will receive an advance of $90 on each 500 pound bale of 1924 cotton delivered, beginning Septem ber 1. when the pools for the new crop are opened and deliveries will be accepted, according to a statement issued from the headquarters in Ral eigh last night.
