be solved by making the cndidons as favorable as possible for the lawn grasses and to maintain a strict watch at all times to check the growth of the troublesome weeds at the beginning At the end of the growing season be- fore the severe weather of winter ar rfves the lawn should be given a good top-dreSsing of well-rotted barnyard manure. If the manure is not well retted. it is likely to introduce an abundance of weed seeds, which will ultimately cause considerable trouble. Topdressing not only adds fertility to the soil, but gives the grass protection during the severe weather of winter and the freezing and thavvdng of early spring.

Improving the Lawn
 Eradication of Weeds

'
 While weed enemies of the lawn are troublesome throughout the growing season. they are most particularly so from the latter art of June until frost. During this period erab-grass is by far the worst weed present. says the U. 8. Department Of AErfculture's. lawn specialists. There is no really satis- factory method or checking It's growth and the only treatment to be recommended is to cut or pull the plants before they have formed large mats. This is a very tedious and ez- 5zansive practice, but where a good lawn ss involved the results justify the expense. Rational fertflizing and careful watering during the summer help to overcome the effect of weeds. Chemical sprays or treatments have proven to be of very little assistance ting crab ?draSs with the ordinary mower on account of it's exniprostrato character. This difficulty can be over come to a certain extent If @ rake Is used in conjunction with the mower. By means of the rake the branches can be clipped reasonably close It is almost impossible. however. to cut crab grass sufficiently close to prevent the formation of seed.

Among the most inn portant ones are dande1ion, plantain., claickweed, oxeye daisy and yarrow.
