FEEDING LAWNS
HOW TO IMPROVE LAWNS WITH
VARIOUS FERTILIZERS.

Bookings, May S.-A quick lunch
for hungry lawns is suggested as fol-
lows by Prof. n. +. Hansen, of State
college in reply to a Sioux Falls cor
respondent who asks concerning the
ACCESSIBILITY of applying ordinary
lime:
"A top dressing of bone meal such
as used by rose growers would do
your lawn more good than lime, al
though the latter is often used for
sweetening sour soils. A good top
dressing of bone meal every year is
the best. An early top dressing of
nitrate of soda is excellent as ii fur
nishes a quick stimulus and food for
the leaves in early spring. In the
fall a top dressing of barnyard ma
nure is effective. but it should be
raked off early in spring. You
should leave your lawn as long as
possible in the fall SO as not to starve
the roots. People generally are in
clined to shave the lawns so closely
that the roots never get a chance to
become strengthened.
MANY people believe in CONNER
cial fertilizer as it is more cleanly
and it saves trouble in raking. But
1t is more expensive than barnyard
manure. Superphosphate of lime is
one of the best. Bone dust is a finer
