It is best to remove clippings
on heavily fertilized lawns dur
ing; ' periods of rapid growth.
Heavy clippings prevent the pro
per drying of the. grass and may
provide prime conditions for the
development of fungus .diseases.
This is especially true where big
bloos of clippings are discharged
from rotary mowers. .
There are many opinions about
when a lawn should be watered
and how deep the soil should be
soaked. The first noticeable wilt
ing of the grass is a good signal
to add water. Perhaps the better
time to irrigate is early in the
morning so that the blades of
grass can dry oft before night
fall. TVs rnjy help contrn dis
eases- When you water, soak the
soil'to a depth of four to six in
l.ches, depending upon soil type.
Keep ydur lawn well-aerated.
The principal cause of moss for
mation is poor aeration and lack
of proper fertilizatidn. The grass
roots must have air (oxygen) to
grow properly. Aearatofs may be.
rented in urban areas or you
can make one. t

THIS IS THE LAW
By Robert E. Lee
( For the N, C. Bar Association)
BULLS
In a case coming out of Hen
derson County, North Carolina,
an employee on a farm was ser
iously injured as the result of
being gored by a bull he was in
structed to take to a pasture- The
injured- plaintiff did not give any
evidence that the bull had • ver
attacked afiy other person or had
given signs of having a “vicious
propensity.” He* did-not recover.
In" fact the trial judge did hot
allow the case to go to the jury;
it . was' nonsuited.
The opinion of the Supreme
Court of North Carolina -in this
case is a legal classic. It appears
ia Banks v. Maxwell, 205 N. C.
233, decided in 1933.
The opinion is far more inter
esting than the usual run of
‘Supreme Court decisions and for
tli'S. reason is reproduced in its
rtirety:
•‘What are the essentials of
liability for injury inflicted by a
bull ?
“The ancestry and social stand
■ of a bull antedates the ' pyra
'.l ids <W Egypt- Indeed, the writ
ten record .reveals that in the
-first civiliaztion along the stret-
II cs of the Nile a bull was a god.
H: was an emblem and symbol of
vitality and ancient Egyptians
worshipped- vitality. The same
impulse therefore that construct
ed the pyramids also endowed
tiie bulk with divinity.
“It is true that his fighting
qualities have often been used
fur describing fear. For instance,
the Sweet Singer of Israel, at
tempting to describe his sense .of
fear and depression, wrote:
‘Many bulls have compassed me;
strong bulls of Bashan have be
set. me round. They gaped upon
me with their mouths as a rav
ening and roaring lion.’ Psalms
22:12-13.
“The familiar rule of liability
for injuries inflicted by cattle
has remained approximately con
stant for more than three thous
and years. This'rule of liability,
us expressed by Moses in the
.1 lowing woisds: ‘lf an ox gore a
’ n or a woman that they die;
hen,the ox shall be surely stoned
mal. his flesh shall not be eaten,
h :t the owner of the ox shall be
; it But if the ox were wont to
h with his horn rh J time-past,
d it hath been testified to hrs j
• aer. and he hath not kept, him!
but that he hath killed a mail*
or a woman; the ox shall be I
stoned, and his owner also shall
be put to death. If there be laid
on him a sum of money, then he
shall give for the ransom of his
life whatsoever is laid upon him.'
Ex. 21:28-30.

v. Coai Co., 192 N. C., 804, 130
S- E. 113, that a person injured
by a domestic animal, in order to
recover damages, must show two
essential facts: (1) ‘The animal
tnflicting the injury must be
dangerous, vicious, mischievous or
ferocious, or one termed in the
law as possessing a vicious pro
pensity. (2) The owner must
have actual or constructive know
ledge of the vicious propensity,
character and habits of the ani
i.
mal.’ The sanle principle was an
nounced in Cockerhan v. Nixon,
22 N. C., 269. this case involved
an injury committed by a bull.
“In the case at bar there was
no evidence offered tending to
show that the bull had ever at
tacked a person or threatened to
do so, nor that he was ‘wont to
push with his horn in time past’;
nor was there evidence that the
owner had actual or constructive
knowledge of any vicious propen
sity of the animal. It is true that
a witness said that each morning
when the bull was turned out of
the pen ‘he would bellow, paw
the ground, and burrow in the
ground with his head.’ Those
bred to the soil perhaps know
that such acts -on the part of a
normal bull constituted per se np
more than .boastful publicity or
propaganda. doubtless designed
by the .the animal to inform his
bovine friends and admirers that
he was arriving upon the scene-” -
