but in natures workshop at some
distance from the lawn-to-be. The
principal part of the work Is done
by nature, and it takes some time,
but man has to place the materials
at hand for nature to use in Its
laboratory. The old lawns in Black
foot have gotten into condition that
is far removed from what nature
needs for making a lawn, and as the
laboratory work can be done cheaply
on a large scale, we are outlining a
cooperative program by which sew
/ eral hundred lawns can be put In
fine condition at small expense to
the individual and remain in good
condition for a long time If properly
cared for. If the owner just wants
moderately good lawn he can keep
1t moderately good, or If he wants it
to stay exceedingly beautiful, he can
place his order accordingly and have
what he wants at a slightly in
creased expense.
If you want your lawn made
beautiful in 1922, you should have
commenced in 1920, according to
our program. II you want it beauti-
full in 1924, you should begin in
1922, and take the successive steps
to let nature do the job.
How to Begin Making
a Lawn Over
There are, say, 200 families in
Blackfoot who look over their old
shabby looking yards (you can make
your own list of their names) and
are willing to put in some money
and some work and get tip-top re-
suits at future date. Two hundred
men come together and incorporate
something under the firm name of
"The Better Lawns company" and
take one share apiece at cost Of
$25 share, one-half being payable
in sixty days and the other half in
nine months. The board of directors
60 about town and buy or lease a
block of ground in the edge OF town
where there is little or no sod or
grass and weeds. They carefully re-
move every vestage of vegetation
and then irrigate and pillow 1t, and
again remove every vestige of vege-
taton that comes to light. Twice q
month they disk it and half way be-
tween plowings they harrow it
thoroly seeking to get all seeds that
may be in the soil sprouted and
killed.
Another Branch
of Work
At some suitable place on the
tract, and close by the irrigating
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-07-20

ditch, they will have the workmen
excavate for a compost or rotting
pit. It should be three or four feet
deep and perhaps 40x100 feet in
size, lined in the bottom and sides
with concrete with good cement
finish. At the side of the pit II
should be deeper for a space OF
about twenty feet across, 30 that
drainage from the whole pit would
flow into low place. The low part
should be screened of from the rest
with wire net or fence, and inside
of the fence should be finer screens
that would prevent any rubbish
from getting inside the pool. A
power pump should be installed to
lift water from the pool to the tank
wagon or truck and that vehicle
should be equipped with discharge
pipe and hose that would deliver the
fluid at the side and at a distance of
two or three rods If necessary.
Filling the
Pit
Have about 200 loads Of barnyard
manure dumped into the pit and
enough water turned in from the
ditch to wet it. II the manure is
reasonably strong and fresh, the
acids In it will create heat and 1t will
ferment slightly, making more bill
lions of bacilli than would number
the German marks needed to pay the
war debt of the world. One 'object
of soaking this mass is to rot or
sprout the weed seeds in it, and for
that process it must now be exposed
to the aid again. When the mass
ferments enough to give of q slight
odor, the bacilli are ready for use.
and the manager of the concern will
now offer the fluid for sale to people
who want to greatly enrich their
soil, both by reason of the fertility
of the fluid and by reasan of the bill
lions Of bacilli in it that can be
transferred to the soil with the fluid
and once in the soil they keep on
multiplying and manufacturing
nitrates for plant growth. The tank
wagon or truck delivers the fluid to
the purchasers and 1t Is poured upon
the garden or the flower beds or the
lawn or into the irrigating ditch,
where it enters the lot, or anywhere
to suit the purchaser. Such is the
magic effect of such fluid upon plant
growth that when poured about the
root area the plant shows stimula-
tion the same day it is applied. This
fluid is merely a side line, a bi-pro-
duct of our main undertaking, that
of making the lawns over. If we did
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-07-20

vate an interest in supplying nature
with proper materials to work with
for our benefit and pleasure.
Each lawn made over would be a
constant reminder to other property
owners that they can make their
property more attractive and more
valuable, and when they see the
striking contrast between their old
lawns and the new and perfect ones,
they too will begin to plan for taking
on the service of the Better Lawns
company.
At this time when business is dull
and men have time to think and
plan in new things is good time to
organize and arrange to pay in that
$3.50 and get work started on the
company tract that is to be the base
of all these operations. The second
payment of $3.50 will be payable
next spring when 1t is time to start
operating again and buying and SOW
ing seed on the company tract.

HOW TO RENEW
THE LAWNS

Blackfoot has from 100 to zoe
lawns that have been beautiful, but
are going to decay and need to be
done over. They will never be beau.
tiful again until they are overhauled
and when this is done they will be
q source of much satisfaction to the
owners and the whole public. They
will add much pleasure to the in
habitants and much value to the
property. If the owners intend to
remain on them they owe it to them
selves to have them in fine condi-
ton, and If they wish to sell out,
making the lawn over will help to
sell them at good price.
It is a great deal of work and ex-
pense to make q lawn over, and If a
good many people join forces and do
it systematically they will get better
results at much less expense and
trouble, People who do not know
how and who do not have the proper
equipment may under take such a
task and have it cost double what 1t
would IL done by system and experts,
and the inexpericed person may fail
entirely in the interchangeable ex-
pert, systematic method can abso-
lutely guarantee results.
How to Fix the
Lawns
In the following outline of how to
fix the lawns we are advising a
course that makes employment for
home laborers, uses all the waste
from the lawns and turns 1t to &C
count in the community and gves the
community the benefits of all that
is done. It requires a good while
for the preparation of the work, but
when once the lawn is torn up, it is
but week or two until the new
lawn appears in all its beauty ready
for the lawn mover, and there is no
season of dust and mud to annoy the
owner.
Most of the work of making a
lawn is not done on the lawn itself,
