Watering practices are much abused
Many folks practice daily Sprinkling of
the lawn Such a practice results in
the formation of very shallow root
system in the turf and, should a pro-
Ionged drOuth occur, this kind of lawn
will die out more rapidly than one not
watered at ALL Much of the water an
piled through daily sprinklings is lost
through surface evaporation.
If the water used contains harmful
sodium salts this practice will result
In the accumulation of these salts in
the soil surface much more quickly than
If more thorough applications were
made. More thorough, less frequent
water applications encourage the de-
velopment of deeper, stronger grass
root system. Such lawn will be able
to discourage the encroachment of
weeds much better.
Water Thoroughly
Depending on the soil type. weather
conditions and other factors one will
have to work out watering schedule
that will be best for his lawn. A LIGHT
er soil will need more frequent water
applications; heavier clay soil will
need less frequent waterings. More
water will be needed during warm. dry
weather than during cool, moist pc
Rod. Each watering must be thoroueh
enough so that it will wet the soil as
much as a foot or more. This will
mean the addition of the equivalent
OF an inch or two of water at each irri-
cation.
In the light of this, the person who
has been watering with a hose bv hand
Will find he will not have the time or
patience to stand around long enough
to water thoroughly 1t, therefore

king method. There are many systems
on the market and it only remains to

Vldual circumstances and needs. Bv

quency of watering can be reduced to
5 to 10, for lighter soils, and even up
to 20 day intervals with heavy soils.
Drying Admits Air
Soil, weather and factors will. of
course, have to be taken into consider
alton. The gradual drying out of the
soil between irrigations will be a
healthy sign, since grass roots need
air to grow healthily and frequent irri-
cations do not help such a situation.

Try These Practices For
A Healthy Lawn
By LEONARD 4. YAGER

UNKNOWINGLY FOLKS follow prac-
tees which most surely invite trouble
from weeds and actually discourage
the best kind of performance from de-
Sirable lawn grasses.
Some of the important practices
which encourage the best kind of per-
Torrance from lawn grasses are be-
ginning with a good soil, moving long.
using a good fertilizer program, water
ing thoroughly but infrequently. A good.
deep, fertile tOpsoil that is high in hu.
mus and provided with good drainage
is the first step in insuring the devel-
opment of good lawn. MANY weeds
take over in soil that is impoverished
and in soil that is not well drained.
One OF our best lawn grasses for Mon
tana is Kentucky Bluegrass. This is
one variety of grass that will not stand
close clipping without becoming seri-
ously weakened, and when that occurs
weeds begin to crowd it out. The best
killer of weeds in a lawn is the grass
itself-that is, if you give it half a
chance.
Lengthen Cut
Many folks have been surprised to
find they improve their lawns immeas-
urably by raising the height of cut on
their mower. Kentucky Bluegrass
should be cut no closer than two inches
during hot weather and no closer than
IL inches during the cooler growing
period.
The newer Merton bluegrass has a
wider leaf blade and will tolerate clip
ping as short as q inch, but higher
cut ensures the development of a
stronger root system.
Many of the bent grasses used in
golf greens tolerate close clipping. but
the average lawn in Montana is COM
posed of Kentucky Bluegrass and it
must be clipped higher if one is 10 ex-
pect it to remain healthy.
Leave Clippings
1here are many arguments pro and
con regarding the removal of grass clip
pings. Generally it is just as well to
leave the clippings as they fall to form
a mulch over the lawn surface. This
provides additional organic matter for
the soil. Of course it will be necessary
to clip often enough so that the grass
does not become too long. If the clip
pings are removed, by all means COM
post them and return them to the lawn
as a top dressing after they have de-
composed

Boys Town, Nebr-The Roger
Wagner Chorale, hailed by critics
as the finest singing group in
America today, will be heard in
concert at the Boys Town Music
Hall on Wednesday evening,
March 7, at $3.50.
Although the Chorale, now
more than 10 years old, has been
widely heard on television and
radio, in motion pictures and on
records, and has appeared in such
far-flung places as the Coronation
Festivities for Queen Elizabeth in
1858, and in concerts and radio
on the European continent, this
is the first time the group is
making a concert tour Of the
United States.
The Chorale originated in 1945
as a city-sponsored group known
as the Los Angeles Concert Choir
ale, but demands for its services
in professional appearances were
so many that in 1947 it withdrew
from city sponsorship and became
a professional group.
Franz Waxman Immediately en-
gagged il for performances of
Honegger's Joan of Arc, and adj
ditional appearances in other
works followed in the Los Angeles
Music Festival. Alfred Wallen-
stein engaged the Chorale for a
program concentrating the BIZ
centennial of Bach's death, and
re-engaged the group for addi-
tional work.
The Chorale was invited to take
part in the Coronation Festivities
program in London in 1858, and
the 24-voice group sang in Lon
don's Royal Festival Hall, the only
American singing group to take
part in the Coronation. Follow
