Grab Grass Tactics

THIS CRAB GRASS matter
L. which has been troubling two
thirds of a nation was not
specifically mentioned in the
Democratic platform of 1886,
but the Agriculture Department
has been trying to do what it
could.
Truth is, its excellent pamphlet
Farmers Bulletin No. 1877 on
Planting and Care of Lawns")
was issued in October, 1881, with
only a slight revision in July,
1885. This "Old Deal" method
of handling crab held that crab
seeds do not germinate until the
soil is very warm (mid-May in
this climate) so the best thing
to do was to let the lawn grow
freely without cutting. Thus
it would shade the crab seeds
until mid-June, and kill them by
shutting them off from light.
Then you could use the mower,
set highest at first, then gradu-
ally lower.
The Old Deal method of hand
ling dandelions, also still in ef-
feet, was to get a one-inch round
