Labor and Building Costs.

homes for working people grows more

rise. Many owners say they get no

De smaller than 1t was years ago in
the days Of painted clapboards.
Tenants are careless Of wall paper,
children decorate the walls to their
hearts content, and every new occu-

lords cut this cost by using inferior
finish of plaster and other materials
in tasteful tints done over inexpen-

A good system OF water supply and

localities where once people lived in

Seed and Seeding.

Kentucky blue grass is, in general,
tl:e most desirable turf-forming grass
for lawn use in the northern part Of
the United States. For best results
It usually is made Of predominant in
gredient in mixtures containing also
the seeds of several other grasses and
white clover. A mixture found salts
factory by the department specialists
consists Of II parts OF Kentucky blue
glass, parts recleaned redtop, 8
parts perennial rye grass. and 1 part
white clover. Those planting lawns
must not make the mistake of sowing
their seed too thinly, for thick stand
Of grass is essential at the beginning.
From 4 to 5 pounds of the above
mixture should be sown for each
1000 square feet of area. The seed
may be covered over a small area by
hand raking, or, on a large area, by
a weeder. After the seeds are covered
the planted area may be rolled lightly.

Best Season Of Year for This Sort of
Thing is at Hand According to
Advice From Uncle
Sam.
MUST HAVE GOOD SOIL.
Kentucky Blue Grass Is Most Deslr-
able Turf-FormIng for Use In
Northern Part of the
United States.

The early part of September is the
best time for seeding new lawn in
the states south of New England and
north Of the Potomac and Ohio rivers,
according to plant specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Likewise the repairing Of lawns
in this region is much more likely to
be successful if undertaken in the
early autumn rather than in the
early spring. The reason late sum-
mer and fall planting is preferable
where climatic conditions will permit,
is that young grass does not stool
well in spring and summer and is not
aggressive enough during these sea-
sons to combat weeds. In the north
ern tier Of states and New England
these conditions do not hold and
spring is the best time for lawn
work. At that time in the extreme
north the soil is more open than
later in the season and offers a bet
ter seed bed.
Soil Preparation.
The first consideration in making a
new lawn la a suitable soil This
should be well drained and Of good
texture and should be thoroughly pre-
pared. A good loan will need only
enrichment. This may be brought
about best by a dressing Of well-rotted
barnyard manure thoroughly worked
in. If manure Is not available, twenty
pounds Of bone meal for each one
thousand square feet may be subst1-
tuted. If the lawn site is of stiff clay,
both sand and humus, or deoayed
vegetable matter, must be worked in
If good turf is to be secured. There
is little danger Of using too much OF
either of these materials. Light. sandy
soils should have clay and humus
worked in to increase their water
holding capacity. The humus may be
supplied in the form Of manure COM
post or soil from mushroom beds at
the rate Of one-half ton to 1000
square feet of area After the proper
constituents are supplied, the lawn
soil should be thoroughly stirred and
fined. This preparation should begin
several weeks before seeding time to
allow sufficient time for the ground
to settle and for the weed seeds TO
terminate.
