THE LAWN

Lawns often appear rather ragged
and unkempt in the early Spring. Ger
tain species of grass start growing
earlier than others, so that patches
stand up here and there and, worse
yet, patches Of bare ground mark the
spots where crab grass held sway last
Summer and will take possession again
if new seed and fertilizer are not sup
piled
1t is conceded generally that ferti-
lizing the lawn is the NOSE effective
way of restoring a thrifty condition,
whereas sowing seed on the hard or
even partly raked surface is not always
successful because of the unfavorable
seed bed and competition with grasses
already present. One of the most de-
sirable fertilizer combinations is that of
cottonseed meal and ammonium sui
phate in the proportion of pounds of
the meal and of the ammonium sui
phate to each l 900 square feet of lawn.
These two materials have been used
with much success on the Arlington
Farm golf turf plots. Cottonseed meal
supplies nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash in a rather slowly available form
and also organic matter, while the am
monium sulphate supplies quickly
available nitrogen. Ammonium sui
phate is less expensive than nitrate OF
soda, another popular source of nitro
gen. and discourages weeds by promot-
ing moderate acidity of the surface soil.
The cottonSeed- -Sulphate mixture ap-
piled to the lawn and sprinkled in with
the hose will restore that vigorous green
color so highly desired.
AS regards lime and its effect on the
lawn. it is probable that altogether too
much lime has been used on many
lawns in the past, but it is also prob BILE
that no lining would also bring about
unfavorable conditions. There is a
wide range in the acid reaction of soil
from extreme acidity to extreme aka
Unity Neither extreme is desirable,
but a condition near neutrality but
slightly on the acid side is favorable to
the better grasses A light lining every
three or four years may very well be
beneficial where one is using ammo
mum Sulphate as part Of the fertilizer
because the latter tends to increase the
acid reaction. Too much lime, on the
other hand. tends to favor clovers and
weeds that smother the desirable
grasses.
The point is to feed the lawn grass
regularly and when moving do not re-
move the clippings, as they contain
plant food and help to mulch the sur
face and protect the grass roots. A thin
layer of peat moss, perhaps sifted to
remove the coarSer material, should
greatly benefit lawns on heavy clay or
light sand. The lawn is undoubtedly
the most important single feature in
the home landscape and well worthy
OF careful consideration.

ATTACKS FOREIGN
LOANS FOR WHEAT
Produce Exchange Head Protests
Use of Finance Board Funds
for Purpose.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 30-Herbert L.
Bodman, president of the New York
Produce Exchange, yesterday sent a
protest TO Washington against use of
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
funds for advances to foreign govern
ments for purchases of American wheat
The message, sent to Secretary Mills,
Charles G. Dawes and members of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture and
Forestry, said that Chairman Stone Of
the Farm Board had been quoted as
refusing to sell wheat surplus to
Americans for cash, but stating that
our farmers salvation lies In domestic
markets"
1T appears inconsistent that he
should refuse to sell wheat surplus to
United States citizens while lauding
domestic markets to farmers and yet
advocate practically a gift of this sur
plus to foreign governments, which
countries are paying cash every day for
their purchases of Argentine, Aus
tralian, Russian, Danubian and Ca
madam wheats.
1T IS our sincere belief that the SELL
ing Of wheat on credit will not increase
the consumption and we emphatically
challenge any statement to the effect
that by the use of United States Gov
ernment credits wheat may be sold for
export in channels that do not interfere
with the regular business Of the United
States grain merchants"

this work seven prominent psychologists

Child Psychology, by J. ]. B. Morgan
1881. BE M82.
This book attempts to present in syS-
tematic form the latest findings in
child psychology. Many or the studies
that have been made are colored with
prejudiceS or with sentimental bias,
while others are remarkable for their
objectivity. This book does much
toward bringing some order into the
chaos which this vast literature offers
the readers. Moreover the book studies
the normal child. 1t gives a complete
analysis of infant motivation, language,
thinking. work, play and the like, but
the child is always v1sioned as a whole
and as a complete personality.

In these short case studies from the
pen of the gifted and able psychologist
lies a remarkable assortment of human
lives and situations. Far TOO often the
conduct disorders here discussed rep
resent but the naturalization of what
is wrong in the family's life. Before
recounting the cases one by one, Dr.
Hartwell presents, with a simple lu-
cidity that need not frighten the lay
reader. his plan and technique for treat
ing the behavior problems of boy

discussion is his analysis Of his failures

it necessary to purchase tickets
to Camden travelling eastward,
