And The Green Grass
Grew All Around !.

Grass seed should be planted be-
tween August Is and September
15," Professor Claude E. Phillips,
chairman of the department of ag-
ronomy, University of Delaware
says.
He explained that new grass
avoids severe competition with an
nual weeds, particularly crabgrass,
II planted in the fall when the
growth of these weeds has about
stopped. Spring seedlings are sue
cessful only one out of every ten
times due to weed competition. Pro-
fessor Phillips also points out that
the longer you wait after September
Is to seed a lawn, the less are the
chances of success.
When seeding a lawn, proper
ground preparation is of utmost
important. Correct amounts of fer
tilizer and lime should be applied
before seeding. The ground should
also be rolled or packed down we'll.
Now you are ready to select a grass
seed mixture and plant the seed.
ioiCooOi HliilpS SllOuSly fSC-
ommends that you select a grass
seed mixture to suit your needs and
talents. Foor example, the cQnnois-
seur of a fine lawn will be salts
fled with a grass mixture of rs per
cent Merton Kentucky bluegrass
and rs per cent Pennlawn creeping
red fescue. This mixture is expen-
sive but produces a high quality
lawn. Remember, a high quality
lawn requires high quality mainte-
nance.
The average home owner will be
well satisfied with rs per cent
Kentucky bluegrass and 25 per
cent Pennlawn creeping red fes-
cue mixtures.
Shady lawns require a 35 per
cent Kentucky bluegrass and 65
per cent Pennlawn creeping red
fescue mixture.
Sandy soil should be seeded with
mixture of SO per cent Kentucky
bluegrass, As per cent Pennlawn
creeping red or Chewings fescue
and five per cent Redtop.
Three to four pounds of grass
seed per 1000 square feet will pro-
iduce good stand of grass.
For even distribution of grass
seed, Professor Phillips suggests
the following planting procedure
Divide the grass mixture in half
and apply half the seed over the
yard Then seed the remaining
seed across the direction in which
the first half was done.
A firm seed bed is also essential
to success. Now rake the ground
more than Nh inches of soil. Fin
ish the job by rolling or wetting
the ground thoroughly.
After seeding a sloping lawn,
mulch the ground with a light lay
er of straw to prevent heavy rains
from washing the seed away. 1t
may be desirable to add about 10
per cent of fast growing ryegrass
to the grass mixture. This will form
a wash resistant ground cover
quicker than bluegrass or fescue.
Though you have sown the Seed
your chores are far from finished.
The soil must be Kept moist for
the seeds to germinate and start
growth. In the absence of rain this
means watering every day. Be care
full when watering not to wash the
seeds away.
New lawns should not be moved
until grass is four to five inches
tall. For the first one or two NOW
ings be particularly sure that your
lawn mower blade is sharp or it
will pull up many of the slow-to
start, more desirable grasses.
For detailed information on lawn
seeding and care, write the De-
partment of Agronomy, University
of Delaware, Newark, Delaware,
and ask for the bulletin called A,
B, Cc's of Good Lawns.

Don't Mix Drugs
And Driving

Tranquilizers, "stay awake pills
or drugs in any form are not suit
able aids or drivers, and a per-
son who drives after taking a
drug may lead himself into a ira
gic accident, according to DR.. Noah
H. Sloan, medical director of the
Allstate Insurance Companies.
One of the necessary conditions
for safe highway travel, particular
ly during congested periods, is an
alert, relaxed driver, but persons
who rely on drugs, even in the
form of tranquilizers, are flirting
with disaster. DR.. Sloan explained.
Commenting on motorists who
use "stay awake pills" during
long hurried automobile trips, DR..
Sloan said, Persons who drive
after subjecting themselves to the
effects of drugs often are more
dangerous than person who mix
es alcohol and automobiles.
"A person who has had too much
to drink often realizes his condit-
ion and sometimes has enough
sense not to drive. But the person
under the influence of a drug
many times is not aware that he
is affected"
Speaking of the potency and
potential effect of "stay awake
pills." DR.. Sloan pointed out that
one of the more common types
used by some drivers contain the
drug amphetamine, habit form
ing drug that effects the heart and
the nervous system.
among the more serious effects
that can be caused by amphetamine
are hallucinations. Motorists using
this drug have reported seeing
imaginary objects suddenly loom
up in front of them, or have
thought they saw insects crawl
ing across their windshields," DIR.
Sloan warned.
"Benzedrine, while it increases
the alertness of the user, can have
an adverse physical effect, mani
Testing itself in agitation, head
aches and loss of concentration, .
he said.
In many states it is illegal to
purchase or possess this drug or
to administer it to a race horse,
DR.. Sloan said. while conclusive
tests on the effect tranquilizers
have on drivers have not been
completed, it is pretty well agreed
that amphetamine, while alleviat-
inc cIaanipoCc op1 fof;r,,o oop
dull persons reflexes, bring on
changes and even be-
come habit forming"
DR.. Sloan said that all tran
quilizers do not have the same eff
fects, but that the differences de-
pend upon the type and amount of
the drug used.
Speaking of other types of tran
quilizers, DR.. Sloan said those con-
tanning chlropromazine or reser-
pine also can lead directly to
highway fatalities, because of the
drowsiness they are apt to cause.
Persons who utilize antihista-
mines to combat motion sickness
should not drive following con-
sumption of this drug unless they
have learned from previous ex-
perience that they will not under
go sleepiness or dizzy SPELLS" the
All-state spokesman emphasized.
Despite the legal bans against
the sale of certain tranquilizing
drugs. they too often can be pur-
chased in certain restaurants, SER
vice stations, truck stops or drug
stores, DR.. Sloan asserted.
while some highly nervous per-
sons might actually improve their
driving slightly by using tran
quilizers, these cases are rare and
the driver who wants to make his
holiday trip safe will not attempt
to substitute tranquilizer for
adequate rest and Sleep" DR..
Sloan concluded.

MPLS. CENTRAL BOMBS VOCATIONAL
40 TO FOR THIRD STRAIGHT WIN

Last week in this column, Earl
Bowman assistant football coach
at Minneapolis Central High, said
his team was about to reach It's
peak. Wen Friday IN the Parade
Stadium they exploded for 20
points against Vocational while
remaining unsecured upon them
selves.
In the first quarter the Central
Pioneers turned halfbacIcs Ken
Jacobson and Steve Phillips loose
for dazzling long touchdown runs.
Meanwhile the defensive unit led
by the tremendous efforts Of Ken
Boudreaux and Elmer Rosenberg
completely contained the voca-
tional team. with a 20 to o lead
and the game only minutes old,
the Central coaches began pouring
reserves into the game.
In the second half Central de-
cided to display more talent from
its bench Second string halfback
Wendell Gilchrist broke loose for
two brilliant touchdown runs of
II and s5 yards.
Gilchrist's longest touchdown
run was a thing Of beauty. He ran
through the entire Vocational team
and crossed the goal line all alone
in a terrific burst of speed.
CentraIs record Of three wins
and no losses establishes them as
solid favorite in the Minneapolis
high school conference. Although
the second half of their schedule
is by far the toughest, there Is no
reason why this team can't go on
winning. They've got the defense,
they've got the speed, and they are
tough. So all they need to beat
Hnry Is the will to win.

Jim Brown Is
Leading Pros
In YQYdada Coined

Chicago CAMP - National
Football League fans have heard
this story before-in fact for three
consecutive years:
Jim Brown Is leading the NFL
in rushing.
The Cleveland Browns; fnIlbaclE
who holds the league record of
1877 yards for one season and who
has led the leagues bali carriers
for three years, is starting off
another season as the top gamer.
He accumulated 24O yards In two
games he has played thus far.
The former Syracuse AIl-Amer-
lean, who forms the best one-two
running punch in pre-footbaIl with
Bobby Mitchell, had an Indifferent
exhibition season, fayoring a sore
shoulder. But once the chips were
down, he showed he had lost none
Of his drive. He picked up 1853
yards in the opener against the
Philadelphia Eagles and 81 In the
second contest against the Pitts
burgh Steelers.
Thus in 43 attempts, with a 81
yard run his longest gain, Brown
is averaging So yards.
Mitchell, by the way, is third In
rushing, with 2Os yards in 80 tries
for an average Of SO yards.
Other tan players in the top 10
include Willie Galimore, the Chi
cago Bears speedy halfbacl1, who
had picNd up IA yards in 70
PUSHES for a So average; J. D.
Smith, San Francisco fuIlback who
was second to Brown last year,
who had amassed Ill yards in 20
attempts for a 4.3 average, and
Mel Triplett, New York Giants
fullback, with 100 yards in IA
rushes for a IL average.
Mitchell was tied for scoring
honors. The former Illinois star,
who has become a broken field
magician, had tailed four touch
downs for "a points. Triplett and
Lenny Moore, of the Baltimore
Colts, each had registered three
touchdowns for Is points.
Willie West, the former Oregon
star, now with the Chicago Card
inals, was setting the pace in punt
returns, averaging 14.3 yards.
John Sample, who returned a
kickoff "a yards for a Baltimore
touchdown against the Chicago
Bears, was the top man in that
department. His average was sos.
Runnerup was Galimore, who had
galloped kickotfs for an average
Of As yards.
Mitchell was among the leading
pass receivers, having caught eight
for 10s yards, with SO his longest
gain. The longest completion was
a 75-yarder in two instances, one
to Frank Clark, the former Cleve-
land Brown end, now a slot back
with the Dallas Cowboys. He scor-
ed a touchdown on the play against
the Eagles.
Mitchell, by the way, registered
three touchdowns against the
Eagles in the opening game.
