throughout most OF California to
start new lawn. However, where
water is available, one may start
lawn any time.
Preparation OF the seed bed, the
first step. should be done thorough
ly. The soil should be well spaded
to the depth Of about one foot,
leveled. and the top three inches
thoroughly pulverized and rolled
to provide a smooth, firm bed.
If time permits, many of the
weed seeds always present in the
soil. may be induced to germinate
by keeping the soil watered for a
time before planting the lawn seed.
The young weeds are easily destroy
ed by raking. and much future
trouble will be eliminated.
When ready to plant. water thor
oughly to the depth CT at least six
inches and allow the BED to dry
until the top two or three inches
pulverizes readily when raked. Sow
the seed evenly on the freshly rak
ed surface. If the seed is sown by
hand, it is advisable to SOW in at
least two directions to obtain a

more even distribution. Pressing
the seed into the soil with a roller
is the only covering necessary.
Water lightly and frequently, us
ing a fine spray to prevent surface
washing. until the seeds germinate
and take root. 1t is good practice
when seeding in hot weather. TO
cover the surface with clean straw
to make possible a more thorough
watering without danger of dis
turbing the seeds. This helps to
keep the surface soil moist and
affords shade for the young plants.
The straw should be removed as
soon as the young plants have es-
tablished sufficient root system to
take care of themselves. Keep the
lawn we'll watered. paying parti-
cular attention to the corners and
edges. but do not allow water to
stand on the surface. II a sprink-
ling system is used. note if it reach
es the entire surface. Use a fine
spray to water any spots missed.
Water applied after sundown Is
available for the plants during the
entire night: whereas. much Of
the water applied in the morning
will be lost by surface evaporation.
This is particularly true in the hot.
dry counties.
Nov Frequently

system is essential to healthy plants.
and this is encouraged by applying
sufficient water to thoroughly mois-
tening the soil to a depth OF four
to six inches about once each week,
depending upon the weather condl-
tions. This practice ena bles the
plants to extend their feeder roots
well into the. soil, making available
a larger plant food supply. Shallow
watering tends to draw the roots
to the surface since they cannot
extend below the water line. Clip
a new lawn frequently. but not too
closely. This helps TO develop a

imme iiately after moving washes
the clippings into the sod and helps
to conserve the moisture.
Probably more lawns die for lack
of sufficient fertilizing than for
any other cause Under the con-
slant watering, which is necessary
to keep a lawn in good condition,
the available plant food Is USED
rather rapidly, and. unless replen-
ished by the addition of fertilizer

ern precision methods in the prep
aration of the materials used in
homes make it possible to eliminate
part of the cost. This makes it
easier on the home owner"
During the 30 years of the COM
panys existence, the pre-fab abricated
materials have been shipped to all
parts of the world and thousands
have benefited from the buying
power of the concern, Moody con-
tinued.
This company gives complete
satisfaction to home owners who
have to exert the most rigid economy
as well as to those who may dis
regard cost" Moody said.
Modern homes require modern
methods of construction. Cut and
try carpentry of yesterday must
give way to accurate, industrial
production methods of today.
THE Pacific system offers fac
tory efficiency to the prospective
home builder without sacrificing
the personal interest SO necessary
to successful construction of the
home"
In Moodys opinion II Is deliberate
waste to permit valuable time to
be spent in saving rafters, Studding,
and joists by hand when the same
operations can be accomplished at
the mill at fraction of the cost.

Materials for draperies and up
holstery repeat the new use of color,
many designers first selecting the
draperies for the room and then
having the furniture pick up those

room, making even the old familiar
furniture seem different, particu-
larly if new arrangements are tried
Lighting is becoming greatly mod

FIGHT AHEAD
OVER LOWER
FREIGHT RATE

That the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce will join the Ell Centre
chamber and other state and local
agencies in fighting the proposed
lower freight rate for cantaloupes
grown in the Salt River valley, was
the information received Saturday
morning by Robert Hays, secretary
for the local chamber, in a tele-
gram from George P. Clements,
manager Of the Los Angeles cham
ber.
According to the proposal. canta-
loupes shipped east from the Salt
River valley will have a 10 per cent
lower freight rate than thoce
grown in Imperial valley, placing
valley growers at a disadvantage
Beth the California railroads
1mmission and the Californil
Eorr Bureau Federation have join
ed the FL Centro chamber OF com
merce In protesting the proposal.
The cantaloupe rate case will
come before the interstate commerce
commission for hearing and the
California railroad commissions at
orray will represent that body, the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce
having instructed Fl. r. Bashear
It's traffic manager, to protest the
rate.
In addition to preventing the
granting of lower freight rates or
melons from Arizona to the east
the groups will fight the previous
decision of the interstate commerce
commission whereby Arizona was
granted a rate that is 10 per cent
under that granted California for
the movement Of lettuce.
Growers and shippers in Califor-
mia are fearful" said Hays, that il
liver rates are given Arizona on let

Seeds in Manure

lawn, While unuOuOuSIlN soou lSA-
tilizer. has two serious disadvan-
tages. In the first place. it is al
most sure to introduce trouble
some weeds. and, in the next place,
it is very messy. If manure is to
be used. probably a commercially
pulverized sheep manure or shred
ded COW manure is preferable. This
type of material Is processsl in
such a way that it seldom contains
viable weed seeds. and is much
easier and neater to apply. Cotton
seed meal. bone meal. ammonium
sulphate. or a complete commercial
fertilizer. are good and easily ap-
piled.
The most favorable time to apply
fertilizer is during the winter or
spring. when the soil is moist from
natural rains. 1t has time to enter
into the soil solutions and become
readily available for the plants
when spring growth starts.
A few pounds o; SEED applied TO
the lawn each winter or spring. pay
ing particular attention to any thin
or bare spots, will be found to be
advantageous in maintaining good
coverage and in keeping weeds III
check.
Select Right Seed
The kind of seed to be USED for
a lawn depends upon where 1t Is
located. Kentucky bluegrass seed
is the favorite. being adapted 10
a much wider range of growing
conditions than any other lawn
seed. 1t makes a gooi SOD OF
deep green color. will stand great
deal of abuse. and is not subject
TO diseases. The seed germnates
rather slowly, and. therefore re-
ouires a little more care In gettlh9
it started. Other quick growing
grasses: such as ryegrass, red top
or white clover. are often planted
with it to facilitate getting QUICK
cover. These grasses soon tlsap-
pear. however, leaving the oiue-
grass.
Bent grasses. the seed used on
putting green's. have been USED tor
lawns to a limited extent. Ihey

them especial care. Bent grass Is

Reseed Shaded Place6
Growing a lawn under the shade
of trees is more difficult than IN
the open. Part OF the trouble IS
due to the shade. but probably
more often is the result OF shortage
of water owing to failure 10 fecos-
nize the heavy demand for mois-
ture male by trees. 1t is often
necessary to reseed shady place
frequently. using shade tolerant
seed. Poa triyialjs-Rough bluegrass
and Chewings fe3cue are recon-

Lawn grasses grow very niue
during the winter months. TINS
means the grass carpet developed
after the last fall cutting must
stand the wear all winter. II IS.
therefore. advisable to discontinue
