TOO CLOSE CUTTING AIDS DAN
DELIONS
II Grass is Left a Little Long Seeds
VIII Catch in Blades and Not
terminate

There seems to be a tendency with
people who pride themselves in keep
ing their lawns looking well trimmed
to cut the grass 20 short. This is
not a good practice, for two reasons:
First the lawn dries up more rapid
ly when the grass is cut short. Second,
when short, it is in the right eondi-
ton for infection with dandelion and
plantain seed.
II the roller Of the lawn mower is
lowered as far as possible, the grass
will not be cut so short, will not dry
up so fast, and seed that blows in
will not come in contact with the
ground but will be held up by the
grass blades and will rot germinate.
A lawn looks as good il not better if
not cut so short.-Carl p. Hopkins,
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort
Collins, Colorado.

Starts Second Half

The Arkansas Valley League closed
the first half of it's season last Thurs
day with La Junta easily winning the
championship. Pueblo took the Las
Animas franchise and started the sec
ond half Of the season on Sunday by
losing to La Junta. At the same
time Fort Lyon defeated Rocky Ford.
The Rocky Ford team is badly disor-
ganized as their people will not sup
port a loser and probably will be
unable to finish out the season. The
Las Animas team finished out the
first half although they only won four
games and made the poorest showing
any team ever made in the league.
The standing of the four teams for the
first half was as follows:

THE HOME GARDEN FOR
PLEASURE AND PROFIT
HINTS ON PLANTING TIMES
By JOHN BARTRAM

The time for safe planting is a matter
that worries the amateur gardener II
Is better to be sure than sorry, Early
planting Is all very good in certain situ-
atiOns. we'll drained with eastern exposure
and protection from the north and west
winds. If this aggregation Of circum-
stances is not possible, 1t is best 10 delay
until nature gives n reliable signal one
of the best indications Of the safe time to
put things into the ground is the blossom
ing of the trees
The earliest planting Is of the peas,
the smooth seeded varieties The wrinkled
varieties must be put in when the ground
Is warm, but the others resist cold and
even wet ground When the leaves appear
on the naples it is safe to put the smooth
peas in. The Towering Of the peach Is
the signal for the other varieties, which
are of a more delicate flavor, but lack the
carlness which makes the smooth kinds
so tasty" before any other crop is ready.
About the same time it is safe in this
latitude to put out onion sets. These
are tiny bulbs which have been grown the
preceding year. They give good crop
of sculions for early eating and the
ground used for them can be later sOwn
with beets or some other crop, A pint,
planted to the extent of half dozen feet
for a row, at intervals Of three or four
days will give a succession, one long row
can be planted to mature in the groundi
onions can be dug up from time to time
for use, the row thus is thinned out to
allow room for the remainder to attain
full size.
As soon as the ground can be worked
into fairly fine condition a couple OF
rows of spinach can be seeded in. This
will give room later for another crop.
When the cherry blossoms open is a
good time to put in onion seed for the
main crop. These can be thinned out
generously for table use, permitting the
residue to mature fully.
This. too, is safe time for putting out
lettuce plants, which can be bought for
about 10 cents a dozen or started In a
cold frame or in boxes indoors.
Radishes can safely be planted in the
open at this time.
You will have 10 wait till the pear trees
blossom before putting out the early car
rots turnips and parsnips.
Parsley and sage can be planted for the
herb garden (Which every amateur should
have, as it takes up only a few square
feet of ground in a corner) at this time.
The parsley is very slow 10 germlnate and
should be soaked over night to give the
seeds a start before they are put into their
Dlace in shallow drills. This Is a safe
date also 10 put out, cabbage plants If
any have been grown in the cold frame.
Cabbage plants of the early varieties can
be bought for a few cents a dozen at the
Late tomatoes can be planted out In the
open i'm a temporary seed bed at this date.
But it will be too early to set out plants.
