LAWN GRASS SHOULD Be CUT
LONG TO PROTECT ROOTS

Washington, d. C. June 5-Grass
should be cut long SO that the
roots will be protected after the cut
ting. This means. says the Depart.
ment OF Agriculture's landscape gard
ner, that the lawn mower should be
set just as high as it will go.
Lawns should be cut frequently
and in ordinary cases where the cut
tings are normal they should be left
where they fall, notwithstanding the
contrary opinion OF the energetic
person who follows up his cuttings
by raking with an iron rake. Lawns
should never be raked with an iron
rake, except TO prepare them for the
sowing of grass seed, for such rak-
ing harrows up the soil. Neither
should they be swept.
II the diligent caretaker of a lawn
must follow up the cutting by some
other operation. only a wooden rake
should be used. and this should he
employed carefully so as not to dis
turb such OF the grass clippings as
have sifted down around the roots.
These grass clippings that settle
around the roots afford them a very
important protection and will do
much to keep the lawn in fine con-
dition when there is lack of rain
later in the season, for they will hold
the moisture and act as a shield
from the sun. In fact. the grass
cuttings are generally needed about
the roots. and should not defract
from the loofs OF the lawn. for the y
soon shrivel. dry up. and work .heir
way down. SO that they are no leng.
er noticed. Grasses are naturally
cool-climate plants and are liable to
be harmed by the hot sun about the
roots.

intervals when he recognized those

first that the attack would prove a
fatal one. despite the hope that his
vitality was such that he would be
able to withstand it. There were mo-
ments when he seemed considerably
improved and hope was strengthen
ed in his ultimate recovery, but
they were illusory so far as there
being any recuperation o: his physi-
cal power was concerned. He was
unable to take food or nourishment
