THE FIELD OF BATTLE

the other new feature was a plowing
contest in which only boys partici-
pated. Flowing is not altogether a
bad sport either, no matter in what
light you look upon it. This was il
lustrated by the participants who
proved to the spectators that in order
to be a good plowman, one must be
somewhat of civil engineer, as well
as an excellent horseman.
Flowing as commonly done is often
considered as drudgery, and so it is
for the thoughtless, careless plowman,
who has no other object in view than
that of making the field look black.
But there is no other farm operation
which requires more knowledge to un-
derstand or more skill to do we'll, than
does the simple art of plowing. The
contestants had in mind making a
straight furrow of even depth and
width, turning it squarely over so as
to cover all stubble and weeds. Each
one took pains to start in squarely and
evenly and to drive straight out at
the ends SO as not to leave the least
curve. There was no time to dream
or gaze about to see what some one else
was doing. All the plowman's skill
and ability were taxed to the utmost.

ways, and they will be better farmers
and better citizens for having entered
the plowing contest.
To many of the onlookers the con-
test was revelation. Farmers and
farmers sons, who have plowed for
days and months, never before saw
such plowing, and many went home de-
termined to plow as they saw it done.
1t has been decided to make this a
permanent feature of the annual field
day.
The greensward is the canvas upon
which all architectural and landscape
effects are produced. A lawn may
vary in extent from few square feet
at the side steps leading to the brown
stone front of the city dwelling to the
broad acres of extensive parks. 1t
matters little whether the extent of a
lawn be great or small, it's inherent
qualities are the same, and it's intrin-
sic worth is determined by its charac-
ter and the manner in which it is
kept. Green grass is not only of great
economic value, but it is also Of great
aesthetic value The herbage Of the
field is the primary dependence of all
animal life, and it is the green color,
the sweet fragrance, and the soothing

A BIT OF LAWN AT THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION.

He must set his plow perfectly in the
first place. Next, he must be kind to
and gain the confidence of his team,
for no man can do good plowing with
out the confidence and cooperation of
his team.
A half day was set aside for the
contest, and all three classes, that is,
the Freshmen, Junior and Senior
classes, competed for the prizes. These
were, a sulky plow for first prize, a
hand plow for second prize and ten
dollars in cash for the third prize.
These prizes were furnished by one
Of the leading plow concerns of the
United States gratuitously.
In scoring, expert plowmen who
have been with the University Farm
for years, acted as judges A standard
of excellence was established. Twelve
points were given on the ssdead fur
row." fifteen points on straightness
of burrows; eight points on ms and
outs at ends; fifteen points on depth
and width of furrows; ten points on
eyenness Of top of land: thirty points
on the covering Of weeds, and ten
points on the finish. Time was not
taken into consideration in scoring.
Each contestant was given strong
farm team and plow. He had to ad-
Just the plow, clevice and whifie tree
to suit the condition of the land. He
was allowed to mark out his land in
any manner he saw fit. The land
was to be twenty feet wide and three
hundred feet long.
Henry johnson, of New Richmond,
Mimi, member Of the Freshman
Class, took first prize. His score was
96 per cent. perfect.

Mysteries of the Ages.

During that wonderful and mysteri-
GUS period, popularity spoken of as
before the ice age," in other terms,
the pre-glacial period, nature expressed
herself with lavish abandon Of
which we can form but a faint idea.
The primeval fivers were mighty tor
rents, instruments of stupendous meta
morphic energy. In their work Of
erosion and dissolving, vast quantities
of gold were freed from confining en-
bedment and deposited along their
channels. Through untold ages, per-
haps, this work of uncovering and
depositing prehistoric gold
mining and storing-continued, or
until that particular formative cycle
was completed. Then the earth passed
into the travail throes of more ener-
getic formation, as expressed in vol
canic and glacial action. Fierce vol
canoes sent forth their molten streams,
filling up ravines and gorges, creating
new elevations and depressions, and
burying deep under layers of volcanic
debris, the old river beds, the evicted
waters of which laboriously wrought
out new channels for themselves. Fol
lowing this storm time came season
of comparative quiet in which the
newly located streams were permit
ted to take up again with diminished
force the old work of tearing down,
dissolving and dropping the freed gold
along their channels. In some in
stances old beds were crossed and
broken into by the new streams and
additional deposits mingled with their
uncovered treasures. At last came the
long winter of glacial action, from
which the earth emerged transformed,
with little of the primeval surface left
save the giant redwood forest region.
Such, briefly summarized, is the geo
logic record, as read by modern sci
entists, of the changes that immedi-
ately preceded our own period. Pos
sibly, certain giant trees of the Cali
fornia redwood parks which have
swayed in the Pacific Ocean winds for
thousands of years-at least their own
ancestors-might have observed from
their undisturbed abode the stupen-
dous changes in progress at their very
doorway. Had they the gift of speech
they could reveal, as no other living
thing could do. the state secrets of
Nature, including that of the buried
rivers

toothed rake or a fine harrow.
After the seed bed has been thor
oughly and carefully prepared and
the grass seed scattered in appropriate
quantities, according to the kind used,
the surface should be given a careful
raking or rolling if the area is dry.
If showers have been frequent, rak-
ing after the seed has been sown will
suffice until after the grass has reach
ed a height sufficient to be clipped by
a lawn mower. Prior to clipping the
grass with a lawn mower, if the
ground was not rolled after seeding, a
heavy lawn roller should be passed ov-
er the surface in order to make it as
smooth as possible. After the grass
has an opportunity to become erect
it should then be clipped with now
er.
What Fertilizers?
Since the lawn is a permanent fea-
ture, it is hardly possible to make the
soil for the reception of the lawn too
rich. Stable manure which has been
thoroughly composted and rotted and
which is as free as possible from de-
trimental weed seeds is undoubtedly
the best material to use in producing
The Semi-weekly leader., 1906-04-11

pounds of fine-ground bone, together
with 300 to 500 pounds of high-grade
fertilizer upon each acre. The fertil-
izer may contain per cent nitrogen,
to 8 per cent phosphoric acid, and
about s per cent potash.
After the lawn has been established
and it has gone into winter quarters" !"
it is well to give the young grass a
mulch of well-decomposed stable man
| ure, which shall not be heavy enough
to disfgure or mar the lawn, but
should be so fine and we'll decomposed
| that it will be carried beneath the
surface of the grass by the rains and
SHOWS of the winter, leaving very lit
tie rough or unsightly matter to be
raked off in the spring. If this is not
desirable, after the greensward has
passed through the first winter it
should be treated to a top-dressing Of
| fine-ground bone at the rate of 1000
pounds to the acre.
The Kind of Grass.
Kentucky blue grass is undoubtedly
the great lawn maker for all that sec
tion of the Atlantic coast region north
of Washington, D. c.; and for the AL
legheny region as far south as north
ern Georgia. Blue grass thrives best
in a comparatively retentive, strong
soil where there is an abundance but
not an excessive amount of moisture.
Upon soils of a lighter character in
| this region, in localities where preci-
| pitation is greater, such grasses as red
| top, Rhode Island bent grass, creeping
| bent grass, and white clover are more
to be relied upon for lawn making
than blue grass. Redtop, Rhode Is
land bent grass, and creeping bent
grass all have the same ability to
make a compact and deep sward, as
in the case of blue grass. In fact,
under certain conditions redtop and
the bent grasses are able to make a
softer, although not more permanent,
turf than does the blue grass. Upon
the light soils found in the States
south of the latitude of Washington,
| D. c., white clover forms an important
feature in lawn mixtures.
In general, because of the varied
conditions of shade and moisture ex-
listing upon a lawn as the result Of
trees, shrubs, and architectural OBJ
jects, mixtures are more desirable
than pure grasses. The different de-
grees Of shade and moisture maintain
ed in the soil which result from the
presence of trees, shrubs, and build
ings afford variety of conditions un-
der which a single species would not
produce uniform lawn.

general, greatly modified because of
building operations or necessary grad
ing. The soil with which one has to
deal, therefore, is seldom normal soil
OF the locality. In general, it is a
portion of the surface soil mixed with
more or less of the subsoil which has
come from excavation, in making the
foundations of house.
The ideal soil for grasses best suit
ed for lawn making is one which is
moderately moist and contains a con-
siderable percentage of clay-a soil
which is somewhat retentive of mois-
ture, but never becomes excessively
wet, and is inclined to be heavy and
compact rather than light, loose, and
sandy. A strong clay loan or sandy
loan, underlaid by clay subsoil, is
undoubtedly the nearest approach to
an ideal soil for lawn; it, therefore,
should be the aim in establishing a
lawn to approach as near as is possible
to one or the other of these types of
soil. In many localities it will, how
ever, be very difficult to produce by
any artificial means at ones command
soil which will approach in texture
either of the types recommended. Our
efforts, nevertheless, should be direct
ed to attaining as closely as possible
these ideals.
Preparations for the Lawn.
Since the lawn is intended to be
a permanent feature of the decoration
of place, it's endurance or span of
life is of utmost Importance In gen
eral, grass seeds are small and the
surface seed bed for the reception Of
these seeds need not be more than l
inch in depth; but since the grasses,
as they become established, send out
long, lateral feeding roots, it is nee
essary that the area containing the
available food for these plants should
be amplified. This object can only be
attained by deep cultivation and
thorough preparation of at least to
10 inches of the surface soil. The soil
to this depth should be made rich and
should be put into an ideal condition
for the development of plant roots.
The mechanical operations of pre-
pairing the soil can be carried on by
the use of the modern plow if the
area is large enough, or by spading
if the area is small. The seed bed
should be thoroughly and frequently
stirred, SO as to grind the soil par
ticles together as much as possible
for the purpose of reducing them to
uniformly fine condition and to lib
crate plant food. Cultivation should
also have for it's object the destruction
of weeds which may interfere with the
establishment of the lawn or which
may be detrimental to it after it is
once established. After the soil has
been thoroughly plowed or spaded it
should be carefully fined by narrowing
or raking, after which it should be
thoroughly compacted by the use OF
lawn or field roller and the surface
again loosened by the use Of steel.
