out NJ. f. Ahearn, professor of land

hitting the suns rays to burn out the
roots. 1t may be necessary TO weed
the lawn once or twice provided 1t has
been seeded in the spring.
During July and August the lawn
will require closer attention than at
any other time. Where shade Is not
abundant it will be necessary to irii-
gate and perhaps do some hand weed

grass early in the season will help 10
carry it through this trying period. 1t
