"The life and quality of the lawn depends largely upon how it is pre pared," says Glenn 0. Randall, as sociate horticulturist at State col lege. "It is foolish to think that a beautiful lawn can be started and maintained without close attention to preparation. If the soil in front of the house is lacking in organic matter, this must be added either by plowing under a green manure crop, such as cowpeas, or by adding well rotted stable manure." Most soils in North Carolina are acid, says Mr. This means that if a green manuring crop is turn ed under the soil will be more acid and it is nearly always advisable to apply from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of agricultural limestone after the organic matter is turned under and preferably several weeks before the seed mixture is planted. It is also advisable to make an application of from 1,000 t- 1 500 pounds of fer tilizer containing as much as 8 to 12 percent of phosphorus and 3 to 4 percent of potash. This with the green and stable manure should give the necessary plant food. Not only should the soil be well plowed to a depth of 10 to 12 inches but it should also be thoroughly pulverized until all lumps are elim inated. In this section, it is best to plant j the lawn in the fall. In central and j eastern Carolina, Bermuda grass mix- j ed with English rye grass to keep the lawn green in winter makes a good combination. Use 8 to 10 pounds of Bermuda seed and then scatter some of the English rye over the sod each fall and rake in. Where Ber muda is not desired a good mixture consists of Red Top, 30 percent; Rhode Island Bent, 20 perecnt; Ken tucky Blue or English Rye, 20 per cent; Creeping Bent 20 percent; and White Clover, 10 percent. Use this at the rate of 100 pounds an acre.

B. Lovelace place. This, the 22nd day of September, 1930. B. T. JONES, JR. Commissioner of the Court. 51-4t. Twenty-four dairymen of Cataw ba county attended the first annual meeting of the North Carolina Dairy men's Association at Greensboro re cently. Smith White of Iredell county says it is not hard to keep boys interest ed in farm life if they have a share in the operations. His boys have their own livestock and crop acreage.s This summer, he helped them to build their own fishing pond and swimming pool. Added More Soda; Made More Apples j By increasing his application of { nitrate of soda about his apple trees this year, F. G. Holman, fruit grow er of Wilkes County increased his yield of marketable fruit by one and one-half bushels a tree and secured an I extra profit of $1.43 a tree in return. j "Figuring the nitrate to cost SSO j a ton and the apples to sell in the] orchard at the tree-run price of $1 j a bushel, increasing the application of i soda from 4 pounds to eight pounds j a tree brought Mr. Holman a net pro- \ fit of $1.43 a tree," says H. R. Nis wonger, extension horticulturist at State college. "Mr. Holman also se cured a half bushel increase in fruit where the nitrate was applied in September previous to the crop year. The demonstration was conducted with a block of Delicious apples which lacked vigor. Though they were 15 years old, the trees were under nourished and poorly grown." In explaining his demonstration with Mr. Holman, Mr. Niswonger says in September 1928, twelve trees were given 4 pounds of nitrate soda a tree and this was checked against 12 oth er trees which received 4 pounds each in the following spring. The fall fertilized trees gave a yield of 78 bushel and the spring-fertilized trees gave a yield of 72 bushels. The set of trees giving the yield of 78 bush els were again fertilized in the fall of 1929 with a 4-pound application and given an additional 4 pounds this spring. This was checked against the other 12 trees receiving eight pounds just as the buds were swell ing this spring. The split application led in yield, making five bushels more than those getting the equal spring application and 18 bushels more than those getting only 4 pounds of the nitrate. Tests made so far indicate that 4 pounds of nitrate is not enough and that it is probably best to add the material either in the fall entirely or as a split application in the fall and spring says the horticultural spe cialist.
