the soil, the bluegrass should
be sown and the soil rolled.
Grass seeds require a firm seed
bed in which to sprout.
If this work is completed by
the time the fall rains start
it may not be necessary to
sprinkle the lawn during the
sprouting period. However,
once the seed is moistened by
rain or hose, it is necessary to
keep the soil surface moist
until growth is well started.
This may require sprinkling the
lawn every day for period Of
three or four weeks.
AS the new growth as well
as that of the established
grasses responds to food and
moisture it will be necessary to
NOW the grass regularly to keep
it from getting so tall as to
smother the seedlings. The
height Of cut will depend upon
the kind Of grasS-bluegrasS
and the fescues should be cut
at 11a inches, higher in play
areas where there is more wear
and tear on the grass.
Frequent moving permits
leaving the clippings lay to act
as a mulch and to return to
the soil the plant food taken.
Heavy clippings will need to be
removed to avoid smothering
the seedlings.

Nemutodes Blamed
For Plant Problems

Some reports have been re-
ceiyed from gardeners who be-
lieve their plant problems are
due TO nematodes. Undoubtedly
the leaf nematode Of chrysan-
themums is q common pest. one
that can be controlled through
the use Of DDT. However. other
nematodes are not controlled
by DOT. Parathion. which is
not available to the home gar
dener, is suitable for the con-
troll Of some Of them.
Root knet nematodes, as well
as many other species. are a
common problem in local gar
dens. Some of them may be
controlled with Nemagon. a
material that has been recon-
mended by the University Of
Maryland.
However, it would seem wise
before using these materials to
have the plants checked by ex-
perts. especially II the trouble
appears on plants which are
not normally known to be in
fected.

called topsoil commonly sold
for this purpose is likely to be
well supplied with weed seeds
and thence the least desirable.
Soil Test viii Help
The next step is to add lime,
if needed. and fertilizer to take
care Of the plants. A soil test
is the best approach. If lime
is needed it should be provided
as pulverized limestone. not
burnt or agricultural lime
which are quite active and will
injure growing plants. If your
test shows that magnesium is
needed, then pulverized dolo-
mitic limestone may be used as
q source.
II the lawn has been COM
pacted through use, or the soil
tends to be coated with moss,
the chances are that it is a
heavy soil and lacking in
aeration.
This is most easily corrected
through the use Of an aerifler.
This is a device for cutting
small holes in the lawn at
regularly spaced intervals.
Such machines are available
in many sizes and the larger,
heavier ones may be rented.
The aerif1er lifts out 4-inch
deep cores of soil and leaves
them on the surface of the
lawn. Sand, peatmosS, saw
dust or other forms of humus,
fertilizer and lime, if needed,
may be spread and the soil and
materials may be mixed and
leveled with a rake or drag of
some sort. This step insures
improved soil aeration as well
as moisture penetration.
Reseed Where Necessary
After the leveling and pull
verizing, the next step is to
reseed those areas where the
grass is too thin for good ap-
pearances. Use a good grade
of Kentucky bluegrass and the
housekeeping red and
Chewings. The feScue seed
should be lightly raked into

be eliminated by the use of
herbicides or hand tools. This
should be done now or as soon
as possible so that reseeding,
if necessary, will not be af-
fected by the chemicals.
Amino triazole may be used
to rid the lawn Of bermuda
grass.
Dalapon, Solar and other
materials will be needed to re-
move coarse perennial grasses,
crabgraSS and the broad
leaved weeds.
The next step is to fill the
holes and low spots so that
standing water will not kill the
lawn grasses. Soil from the
compost pile is likely to be the
best for this purpose; spent
greenhouse soil, If available, is
also very good, while the So
