Getting Rid of the Weeds
Grab Grass Worst Enemy of the LawnRake and Mower
With Careful Watering and Fertilizng Will Help.
Eradication of Weeds.

wy HILE weed enemies of the
AN/ lawn are troublesome
throughout the growing
season. they are most
particularly 30 from the latter part
Of June until frost. During this Pc
riod crab-grass Is by far the worst
weed present. says the Department
Of Asriculture's lawn specialists.
There Is no really satisfactory
method of checking it's growth, and
the only treatment to be recommend
ed IL to out or pull the plants before
they have formed large mats. This
IL a very tedious and expensive
practice. but where good lawn Is
involved, the results justify the ex-
pense. Rational fertilizing and care
full watering during the summer help
to overcome the effect of weeds.
Chemical sprays or treatments
have proven to be Of very little as
sistance. Much difficulty is expert
enced in cutting crab-grass with the
ordinary mower on account of its
semi-prostrate character.
How To Use the Rake.
This difficulty can be overcome to
q certain extent If rake is used In
conjunction with the mower. BY
means of the rake the branches of
the grass may be lifted so that they
can be clipped reasonably close. 1t
is almost impossible, however. to cut
crab-grass sufficiently close to pre-
vent the formation of seed.
There are many other weeds that
are troublesome In the lawn not only
in the spring but also in the summer
and autumn. Among the most Inn
portant ones are dandelion, plantain.
chickweed, oxeye, daisy and yarrow.
While chemical sprays are more ef-
fective in the eradication of these
weeds than in the case of crab-grass.
the best method of preventing their
development Is to remove them with
a spud or similar implement.
Getting Rid of Weeds.
The weed problem can perhaps best
be solved by making the conditions
as favorable as possible for the lawn
grasses and to maintain a strict
