Now Is The Tim
To Ferti|ize Lawns

Home owners who wish to get the
best results from their lawns should
begin to work on them the last of
February or early in March. Too
many people delay giving any atten-
ton to their grass plots until the
weather becomes warm and thus lose
an opportunity to take advantage Of
melting snow and the alternate night
freezing and thawing of the ground.
II the lawn has not already been
fertilized, some form OF commercial
fertilizer should be used at once
Manure applied this late will not he

although tankage and fish scraps,
some of which, however, have an un-
pleasant smell, also give good results.
Prepared sheep manure is an excel
| lent fertilizer for use at this season
! Cottonseed meal where obtainable at
| a low enough price may be used to
| advantage. In connection with these
J fertilizers, however, it is desirable
to use some wood ashes or other
fertilizer containing potash. AS fer.
tilizers with this element are un.
usually high priced this year, the
natural inclination will be to use
minimum quantities. With soils that
have been well fortified in the past,
failure to use normal amount OF
otash will probably not affect the
lawn badly In one season. These
fertilizers should be applied at the
earliest possible moment.
Temptation to get on the lawn and
clean it up Is strong as soon as the
snow Is gone and the weather begins
to settle. Impatience, however, should

has been trampled down during the
winter or played upon when 1t was
soft in winter or early spring, the
owner should take steps to compact
its surface at the earliest possible
moment. This compacting, how.
ever, should not be done until all
trash has been removed. As soon as

that a rake does not dig into the

ARMIES AS SCHOOLS

The German army in peace times

professional organization each year
receives for training a great number
OF twcnty-year old recruits. Educat'
cd young men in Germany are allow
ed TO enter the army as volunteers
at their own expense and serve only
one year, after which they become
officers in the reserve.
Our own regular army should be

our state universities are capable OF
giving us an unlimited supply of men
of sufficient training to become ofltc'

sary is to pick Off the litter. II
lawn has been covered with manure
in the fall, 1t will be necessary to
break the manure up with rake in
the spring, and remove some of the
coarser portions. A wooden rake is
best for this purpose, as It will leave
so much more of the fine material
upon the ground. Do not rake off so
much of the manure that the lawn
will have thoroughly clean appear.
ance. All of the fine manure that
the summer growth of grass can pos
sibly hide should be left. Ii is sur.
prising how much litter the grass
will obscure in lawn as one or two
heavy rains will beat down quantity
OF such material.
Before freezing weather is entirely
over, fresh grass seed should be
shown, for II must be remembered
that only by repeated applications OF
grass seed can a good lawn be pro.
duced. The ordinary seeding of grass
on new lawn is pound of seed to
every 400 feet square. For reseeding
n lawn, cne-tenth to one-half of this
amount should be used, according to
the condition Of the lawn at the time.
! For the northern part of the United
States, Kentucky blue grass and red
| top are the standard varieties. How
ever, where there are many bare
spaces it will be found well to use
some white clover. About one.tenth
the quantity Of clover as of other
grasses mentioned will be required
Probably as good time as any to
apply grass seed will be some morn
ing when the ground is frozen, so that
when the ground thaws during the
middle OF the day the sown seed will
be covered sufficiently to terminate

is that done while the ground Is
freezing little each night and thaw.
ing again in the day time Many
people have success in sowing grass
seed upon light snowfall at time
when the snow Is likely soon to
melt. With either of these methods,
however, there is danger that birds
will eat some OF the seed before II
is covered in the soil In spite of this
however, there is a better chance of
getting a good lawn by these meth
DDS than when the seed is sown N
lend that will rot quickly cover 1t.
The last operation in the prelimin
airy spring care of lawn is to give
1t a good rolling. This rolling, which
should be done with as heavy roll
er as can he handled should not be
begun, however, until after the lawn
is dry enough go that the roller pass

point below the general level. II the
land is too wet the roller will lefr'

done just as soon as the land Is dry
enough to permit it, as rolling com

plants, brings them into closer con

Board"
 The object of this organiza- ton will be to promote the Sci ence engineering in the South west. The principal means for this purpose will be: First the holding of meetings for the reading and discussing of pro- fessional papers especially up- on those questions peculiar to this region. Second, to give opportunity for social inter course and thus establish a a common interest in the welfare of the engineering profession.
 Admission to this society will no doubt only be open to prac- ticing engineers, but opportun- ity to join will be given to any person so connected with engi- neers as to qualify him to CO., operate with engineers in the advancement of professional knowledge.
 It is planned in a short time to call a meeting of those engi- neers that have shown interest in the matter, and at such time daw up tentative plans and program for special meeting to be held at a suit able place at which time final organization can be effected,
 In the meantime, any one in- terested in the promotion of such a society or who has any suggestions as to scope, or way or means of organizing the same should communicate with the Dean of Engineering, State College, N. M. or any of the gentlemen mentioned in this article.
