grass all have the same ability to

IN the case of blue grass. In fact.
under certain conditions redtop and

feature in lawn mixtures.
In general, because of the varied

than pure grasses. The different de- |

TOT no man can do good blowing 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 pillow 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 pillow 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 "dead fur
row." fifteen points on straightness
OF burrows; eight points on ms and
outs at ends; fifteen points on depth
and width Of burrows; ten points on
evenness 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 pillow. He had to ad-
just the pillow, clevice and white 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.

Nature abhors rough edges and brol-

In general, Mr.. Corbett says, further.
a lawn should be beautiful and it

upon the contour of the land, the. col

uniformity of the turf. The use of

Since the lawn is a permanent fea-
