(There was no immediate indi-
cation as to whether the riots
were against. the Iraq government
or against the British, who claim
to have taken the city early in
the undeclared war. London
said it had no word of the rioting,
that the situation was confused.

Other, unconfirmed advices said
Rashid Ali had fed his capital at

There also were rumors that some
OF the premier's generals had insti-

pressed: Conveys mean shooting.
The German Navy chief spoke as
bluntly of what he described as the
'so-called patrol system" He said
that because this already amounts
practically to support of the British
enemy, We can only warn urgently
against its extension"
He described the patrol as serving
no defensive purpose, but actually
as being communication system
for the British and attributed to it
the sinking of the German ship
Columbus.
The 32,581-ton liner Columbus was
scuttled by her crew December l9,

she had been sighted by British

No other single feature has 50
much to do with making the home
grounds attractive and inviting
as good well kept lawn. Since
the materials required to make
and maintain one are not neces-
sarily expensive and because the
art of making and caring for ii is
easily mastered, every home
should have beautiful lawn.
So declares Arthur Poole of
Poole Seed and Implement Co.
Here is his advice on how to start
and maintain such lawn.
The proper time TO seed lawn
is when other lawns in the neigh
borhood are making good
growth and there is plenty of
moisture. and sufficient warmth.
and sunshine available TO ger
inmate the seed. IL sowing in the
heat of the summer. use a mulch
such as peat moss, excelsior or
small brush to shield the surface
from direct sunshine.
Very small plots may be made
perfectly level, but larger areas
are much more satisfactory and
pleasing in appearance II some
landscaping is done TO provide a
rolling effect or graceful contour,
which in itself solves the surface
drainage problem. Have the lawn
slope away from the house and
toward the street if possible.
Soil Preparation
Spade the ground 10 a depth of
6 ar s inches into a well pulver-
lied condition. II your ground is
sandy. gravelly or clay. work
horticultural peat moss into it at
this time. The peat moss will add
the necessary humus and at the
same time keep the ground porous
10 admit the air and water 10 the
roots Of the grass. Tn excessive
gravel or sand, some clay should
be used. with the addition OF peat

axiom that is we'll TO remember
is: More seed less weeds. Less
seed. more weeds" Use at least
one pound of seed for every $50
to 200 square feet.
There is very little care neces-
sary Immediately after seeding
but that little is very important.
Sprinkle your seed with a fine
mist and keep it damp-Do not
allow it to dry out, even if it is
necessary TO sprinkle twice day.
Lawn maintenance includes
three important phases. Fertile
ing. watering and moving.
Proba bly, the best key TO proper
fertilization is the growth Of the
grass itself A good healthy lawn
should make enough growth to re-
quire cutting every 5 TO : days, a
lesser growth indicates the need
of fertilizer.
Use fertilizer which is made
solely for the purpose Of making
and keeping lawns green and in a
good healthy growing condition
and is most economical to use.
This fertilizer should be applied
at frequent intervals during the
growing season at the rate of
about 80 pounds per 1000 square
feet Make the application as
evenly as possible while the grass
is dry and follow Immediately by
copious watering to wash the fer
tilizer off the grass. dissolve its
plant food constituents and carry
them down into the soil occupied
: by the feeding roots. Soak the
gorund down TO a depth of at least
four inches. II is important TO
remember the plants can use only
food in solution So liberal water
ing is necessary. Most soils re-
quire two to three applications Of
fetertilizer annually 10 keep a
lawn in good condition.
