Last Monday, Mrs. Arnott

nothing but another blue-and
therein lies the irony of this
story. Because we weren't. We
were after anything we could

asked.
The two boats reached the

then spread out.
The four of us had been
trolling for about an hour
when Capt. Balance baited a
marlin hook with squid and
sent it skipping along beside
us from the outrigger. Mo-

snapped from the outrigger
pin, and the big Penn 1910
reel began to sing.

Time For Lawn
Problems Is Prior
To Spring Growth

]
HomcoWnCrs who have lawn
problems arc going to get a jolt
ing reminder Of those problems be-
fore long. because trouble spots
fairly jump right out and claim
attention when Grass starts its
spring growth
Unfortunately, by the time lawn
problems become obvious the most
oppoltnc time for treatment is
already gone. So if a lawn prob
lem is known to exist the time to
do something about it is now. ac-
cording to DR.. Paul Santelmann
of the University of Maryland
agronomy department
He says that although there are
some lawn problems that have TO
be diagnosed before specific treat
ment can be recommended, most
poor lawns will respond to three
basic practices.
These three practices arc fertil-
izing, seeding and weed control
Fall is the best time to fcrtilize,
DR. Santelman points out. but if
the lawn is making poor growth
and it is desirable to strengthen
the grasses, an application can be
made in March or early April. It's
best to have a soil test made and
follow fertilizing recommendation
If this isn't done a general recon-
mendation is to apply IS to 20
pounds Of 5-1O-5 per 1000 square
feet of lawn.
Fall is also the best time for
seeding. This doesn't mean. of
course, that the job should wait
until fall. Get seeding done be-
for April Is, DR.. Santclmann
stresses. The variety recommended
tons are bluegrass for sunny areas
and fescue for shady areas, at the
rate of 2 to pounds per 1000
square feet Mulching the seed
area helps grass make good
stand.
The best weed control is TO use
recommended cultural practices
that encourage grass growth. Clip
ping grass at the right height
not shorter than liz inches-is
important, along with fertilization.
lining. watering and avoiding ex-
cessive traffic However, if a weed
problem exists, chemical herbi-
cides are useful for control. The
