PERFECT LAWN NEEDS WORK
One Who Expects to Get the Best Re-
suits Must Expect to Expend Much
but Not Difficult Labor.

TO have perfect lawn requires
much but not difficult labor. AS rule
the land conditions to be met may be
divided into two classes: First, where
there is sufficient depth of good
loan, but where the grass has gradual
ly been allowed to die out, and second
where the lawnmaker has a poor grav-
ely SOIL seemingly without greensward
possibilities of any kind quite regard
less Of what may be done to 1t.
The treatment In the first case cited
Is sufficiently simple. 1t will not even
be necessary to spade up the ground
and re-seed, for just as good results
are produced by a simpler method and
In much shorter time. Take sharp
iron rake With good sharp teeth, and,
after digging out the weeds, scratch
deep into the soil, breaking 1t up as
finely as possible. After doing this
sow the best grass seed obtainable,
using grass seeder, of which there
are several kinds on the market. The
Wheelbarrnw seeder where the space
to be seeded is new lawn, for exam
pie, will prove a labor-saver. Where
the space to be re-seeded is small, a
broadcast seed sower will do excellent
work; it is carried by q strap about
the shoulder, and Will sow not only
grass, but all kinds Of grain

Psychology and the War.

Prof. G. Stanley Hall of the Clark
university, United States, places the
subject Of applied psychology on a
high plane in relation to the war. He
states:
whatever system has been en-
plOyed, 1t is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this war which 1t was never possible
to attain before Men have endured
more, they have shown more herolsm
and daring and have submitted to
more punishment than in any pre-
vious war. No such slaughter would
have been possible in former wars
without provoking panic. This has
unquestionably been due to the sys-
TEN of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as well think
Of going to war without first-class mil
itary equipment as without a knowl-
edge of applied psychology. The coun-
Gil Of national defense seems to have
recognized this; and the National Re
search council within that body will,
understand, contain representative
psychologists"

TREES HAVE ECONOMIC VALUE
Every One That Is Planted Adds To
Wealth Of Community as Well
as to Its Beauty.

The most striking living landscape
feature IS tree, therefore wherever
tree grows the land is more or less
habtable. No matter what kind of n
tree II Is, If Of large size, 1t proclaIms
that the land 1t adorns is not desert.
Tree have been objects Of love and
Veneration since the dawn of history
ana as their attractions and uses are
many and varied, he who plants a tree
plants wealth and adds to the capital
Of all.
Trees beautlfy homes, parks. streets
ana even as orchards their beauty ia
not the least Of their several specific
values. They cool the parched earth
and heated atmosphere in summer and
protect from biting cold and stormy
wind In winter, says the Los Angeles
Times. They purify the air we breathe
and prevent winds from contaminating
1t by arresting storms OF dust and 9th
er Injurious matter. They add very
materially to the value Of all property
even aside from the esthetic consid.
erations; their pure economic value is
not questioned. There are not, there
fore, any reasons for not planting trees
And so many reasons why we should,
that 1t Is best to place them wherever
and whenever the opportunity pre-
sents. 1t Is indeed easy to get rid of
them If improperly placed. Therefore
be ever planting a tree. for it grows
all the time, even while the planter
sleeps, and Is adding to the wealth of
all on earth and all to come.

Decoration of Schools Urued.

Importance of proper environment
In education was emphasized by Rev.
DR.. John Van Schaick, Jr., In a brief
address before the League for the
Decoration of public Schools at its
annual meeting at Washington. DR..
Van Schaick declared that proper
artistic environment makes not only
an esthetic but moral appeal.
He intimated that the time would
come when more public funds could be
used for the decoration of school
buildings. He commended the work
that is being done by the league, and
pointed out that it was private initia-
tive which first awakened public senti-
ment to the need of kindergartens,
hospitals and other institutions now
supported by public funds, but first
started through individual effort.

Brinuinu Country TO Citv

Denmark has solved the problem OF
gardens for city dwelers in particu-
larly efficient manner, according to the
Observation-Disclosures Review. An
article entitled Bringing the Country
to the City" tells how 10000 garden
plots have been added to the produc-
tive area Of Denmark through the uti-
llzation of vacant lots and waste lands
In or near cities. The land is bought
or leased by company, which does all
the preliminary work of building roads
and fences, laying water pipes, INSTALL
Ing n sewerage system, and preparing
the soil for cultivation. 1t is divided
up into small gardens, which are rent
ed at price of 81 to $4 for the sum-
mer. Many families raise enough veg
etables for their own use and sell
considerable amount besides. Others
prefer to build little arbor and plant
flower garden, which becomes their
refuge from the CRIME of the city.

soil about the plants all at one opera
tlon. A notched stick is sometimes
used In planting. The plants are
dropped whore they are to be set, the
stick Is placed on the plant at the base
OF the root, and the plant forced into
the ground to the depth desired. The
soil Is then flrmed with the foot.
The distance for setting plants de-
pends on the variety grown. The
usual distance IL II to 1S inches apart
In rows 312 to 4 feet apart Large
growing varieties should be planted
IN rows four to six feet apart.
Cultivation.
Sweet potatoes should be cultivated
soon after the plants are set, to loosen
the soil that was COmpaCted during
planting. Civilizations should be given
after each rain, to break the crust and
keep surface mulch. The latter cul-
tIvntiOns should also work the soil to-
ward the row to maintain the ridge.
IlHhH noCIllpS uTP necessary TO loosen
the soil between the plants and to
keep down weeds. When the vines be-
gin to Interfere with cultivation they
may be turned into alternate rows by
means Of stick, and after the soil has
been cultivated the vines are turned
back and allowed to grow undisturbed.
Large weeds that appear after the last
may be pulled by hand.
Harvesting.
Early sweet potatoes may be har-
vested rs soon as the roots are large
enough for market. Late sweet pota-
toes should be harvested Just before
frost IS expected or as soon as pos
Sible after frost has killed the vines.
When frost has killed the vines and
It Is not possible to dig the potatoes
1t once, the vines should be cut from
-he plants to prevent decay from In
IurIng the roots.
Macon beacon., 1917-07-06
Digging.

A spading fork may he used for dig
ging small patches Of potatoes, but for
larger areas n plow or regular potato
digger should be used. Potatoes should
be harvested with as little bruising as
possible, for bruised potatoes do not
keep well. The implement used for
digging should be one that will not cut
or brulse the potatoes. An ordinary
plow, fitted with n rolling Golfer to cut
the vines, may be used for digging po-
tatOes, but n much more satisfactory
implement IS digger made for this
particular purpose. A good type of
digger Is one that is equipped with
iron rods In place of II moldboard to
separate the potatoes from the earth
and vines. The digger should also be
fitted with rolling Golfers to cut the
vines.
After blowing out, the potatoes may
be scratched out by hand and left ex-
posed long enough for the dirt to dry
They should not be left exposed to the
hot sun for any long period Of time or
left in the field overnight. Digging
should be done when the soil Is dry
and the weather clear.
Macon beacon., 1917-07-06
Gathering.

Sweet potatoes should be gathered
in padded harvesting baskets or
crates, and every care should be used
to avoid bruising them. Never handle
potatoes in sacks, for the shifting
causes severe brulslng. A good spring
wagon should be provided for hauling
the potatoes to the storage house or
to market to avoid excessive brulslng.
It Is also good plan to gather only
the marketable roots at first. then
later to go over the rows and pick up
the culls. The strings, or very small
potatoes, may be left In the field for
hog feed. The various lots of pota-
toes should be stored separately, for
this will save much time and loss
when removing them for market.
