 WHEN AND HOW TO
 WATER THE LAWN
 The man who enjoys watering his lawn in the evening after returning from work, for half hour or so, will probably prefer this method to leaving the stream for a number of hours oncc week If he will divide his lawn area in six parts and confine his at tention to a different part each evening he will obtain practically the same re- suit in the long run.
 STRONG STREAM WILL EXPOSE
 ROOTS TO DROUGHT
 Haphazard watering every evening Is not advisable He should be careful also to use only a gentle spray. and not continue watering to such an ex- tent that water runs off. as such water does no good. In fact, it may do harm, for it may remove loose dirt from the grass roots and expose them to the drought. The strong stream of hose should not be used. as 1t helps to ex- pose the roots unnecessarily. DRY, WINDY WEATHER
