Care of the Lawn.

! The matter of the lawn. or the matter
with the lawn. is a question which per-
plexes many persons in Washington as
well as elsewhere. The lawn is some
/ times a matter of pride and often cause
| of irritation and distress. Many persons
/ put in work on lawns simple grass
! plots and seem i'll reuuited for their Ia bor
| by results. Garlic. dandelion narrow-leaf
| 2lantain, broad-leaf plaintain and other
| green pests often thwart ones sncerest
efforts al eradication. and bald spots come
and remain in spite of raklng. seeding
and fertlizing. Some lawns seem unap
preciative of kind treatment. and others.
only few, seem to prosper even though
scant attention be given to them. But
lawns in the latter class are few and far
between There are few householders
whose lawns are so sympathetic, good
natured and wcil-mannered as to produce
thick and even turf excepting under the
| most generous and skiIlful treatment. AS
a rule eternal vigilance is the price of a
fine lawn.
The park and recreation depa rtment Of
the city of Boston has such a wide and
expansive interest in lawns and sympathy
with lawn owners that it is sending out
remedies for lawn troubles. The Boston
authority says that of all questions asked
! horticultural journals those concerning
! lawn troubles outnumber all others com
bined. and that this condition. which has
existed for years bids fair to continue in
definitely. Many lawns. as the season pro-
crosses. present a weedy. spotty and un-
even sward, with poor color and a poor
resistance to heat which gives burned
effect In addition to the usual measures
which one takes. such as pulling up the
weeds. reseeding and fertilizing. the Bos-
ton park department recommends and
urges rolling. 1t says rolling puts the
ground in condition to make the grass
plants grow. When the gardener puts a
plant in pot he firms it by tamping and
! pressure of the fingers. a grass plant is
no different from any other. 1t is roller
that firms the lawn. and if rolling is begun
in the early spring and followed up dur
ing the season most of the troubles COM
planned of will quickly disappear Thus
the price of a satisfactory lawn is ex-
terminating weeds Gf one cam, bountiful
seeding,s soaking, moving and rolling.
with the emphasis on the rolling.

Botanic Garden Trees.

One of the unhappy features involved
in the contemplated removal of the ma
tional Botanic Garden is the possible
abandonment and death of the memorial
trees-arboreal treasures without price.
The memorial grove was fostered under
the superintendent of the late William
r. Smith, sterling man and a notable
and picturesque figure in Washington for
considerably more than fifty years. When
it was determined to construct the Grant
memorial at the east end of the garden
the destruction of three historic trees
the John ]. Crittenden oak. the Alexander
R. Shepherd elm and the James B. Beck
eln-was imminent. Public protests, in
which The Star led, halted the work. and
at length those famous trees were trans
planted to other parts of the garden. The
Crittenden oak and the Shepherd elm
survived the transportation, but the
Beck elm died. The cost Of the removal
of the trees was $500. about $500 for
each tree. There are in this garden many
memorial trees-trees planted by great
Americans-and it is the hope of the
friends of these trees that should the
Botanic Garden be established elsewhere
and the site Of the present garden re
stored to the open Mall, in the revised
scheme of things these historic trees may
be made to fit in.

Cleanup Campaign Closing

On this, the last day Of the cleanup
campaign. reports to the cleanup COM
mittee of work done and the improved
appearance Of vacant lots. back yards
and alleys, and, of course, attics and
Easements without number, show that
results have been achieved and that the
sanitary campaign which opened auspi-
ciously last Monday is coming to a sue
cessful close today. In spite OF the
rainy, raw and unspringlike days Of the
week the volume OF rubbish cleared from
places where during the winter it was
heedlessly or carelessly stowed-or thrown
gives evidence of the amount of work
done The response TO the call Of the
cleanup committee and the recognition
and appreciation of the sentiment under
lying the movement were general. AL
though today is the last day Of the cam
paign. according to the schedule of the
committee which promoted the plan. il
ought not to be the last day in fact.
With spring advancing and summer ap-
preaching there should be continuous
sanitary vigilance against rubbish and
one of its dire consequences-flies.

Army-Navy Game at Washington.

The suggestion which The Star made
recently that it would be practicable to
hold the annual Army-Navy foot ball
game i'm Washington is bearing fruit and
has been taken under consideration bs
persons having direct connection with
that athletic classic. 1t is pointed out
that accommodation for thousands of
spectators drawn by this game can be
provided by an addition to the stand at
the American League base ball park, or
that accommodation for the greatest
seated crowd in history could be pro-
vided on government land in Washing
ton by the erection of stands on the pat
tern of the inauguration parade stands.
or that the seat stands of numerous
circus companies could be obtained for
the purpose of the game, the circus sea
son being over at the time when the
foot ball struggle between Annapolis and
West Point is played and fought. The
sentiment and advantage of holding this
game at the National Capital are well
understood in the army and navy, and
the only thing which heretofore has
been presented against the claims OF
Washington is that facilities for the
game and accommodations for the spec
tators could not be provided. There is
no longer any obstacle. The required
accommodations can be furnished.

Roosevelt.

Some Of Mr.. Roosevelt's bull moose fol-
lowers suggest a demonstration in his
honor when he lands in New York from
his South American visit. They have in
mind the reception of four years ago,
when he returned from Africa. But it
might not be possible to duplicate that.
The outpouring in New York upon Mr..
Roosevelt's return from Africa was nom
partisan, and in honor of a man supposed
to be out of the runping for further po-
litieal recognition for himself. Nobody ex-
pected that his interest in politics had
subsidized. Everybody knew that to be i'm
possible. But as he had declared that he
would not again seek the presidency. it
was easily assumed that he had put all
Offices out of his calculation. Hence the
great gathering of men of all parties to
greet a great American and testify to
their personal interest and admiration.
