Do You Know Your
ABCis About Lawns?

We just cannot seem to get away
from the three Rs and the use of
the alphabet even in lawn care,
says Ed Ralph. Associate County
agent.
Professor Claude Phillips, head
of the University of Delaware Ag-
ronomy Department has a bulletin
entitled "a B C's of Good Lawns +"
His use of the alphabet in lawn
care is as follows:
A good seed mixture is first.
B est to seed in early fall
G orrect fertilization March
September
ID o not forget the lime.
E nough water in dry weather.
+ requent mowings at 11a to 2
inches
G ood weed control.
H ard work when needed.
We had better stop at the hard
work part and say that these bull
letins are available ait our extension
office, Ralph said. These bulletins
and several others pertaining to
tiiC oell z VI VdW <tlIu
are free for the asking to all in
terested persons.
Mr.. Phillips recommends that
new lawns be seeded between Au-
gust Is and September Is when an
nual weeds, particularly crabgrass,
have about stopped growth. The
new grass should reach height of
at least inches before cold wealth
er. The later the seeding after
September Is, the less the chance
of success.
For further details concerning
the correct mixture for your par
ticular use, how much to see, how
to to seed, fertilizer and lime ap-
plication, watering, moving a n
other aspects of lawn care, just
contact us at the Sussex County
Extension Office, and we will have
ABCs of Good Lawns for you,
Ralph said.

Twelve Steps In
Starting Turf Grass

The successful establishment of
a new turf-grass area requires
sound establishment practices,
states Associate County Agent Ed
Ralph. He lists the following G
chronological order of practices in
establishing new turf areas.
1. Secure a complete soil test
through the University of Della
ware soil testing laboratory as
soon as possible since the recon-
mended seeding time is Aug. 18th
to Sept. 18th. Bring, or send, the

talks it has the status of a sug-
gestion rather than a binding
proposal. Moreover, the Soviets
and East Germans have so
far shown little interest in it
unless it was radically mod
flied and made part of a pack
age deal by which the Western
powers would withdraw from
West Berlin.
The international authority
plan advanced in detail by the
United States to the Western
allies about two months ago
called for a 13-nation board to
be made up of five Western,
five Communist and three neu-
|trla nation representatives. The
West German government OBJ
jected strenuously to the United
States proposal mainly on the
ground that it would weaken
the security Of the supply lines
and would give the East Ger
man regime. as a member of
the authority, too much recog-
milton.
Bonn Counter Proposals
Last week West German
counter proposals were received
here. They are reported to call
for retention of control of the
access routes by the Big Four
powers-the United States,
Russia. Britain and France.
The West Germans indicated
they would be prepared to ac-
cept some kind of international
authority with little more than
technical and advisory powers
and East and West German
representatives might be able
to have some limited role in
connection with such an au-
thority.
State Department officials
have been intensively debating
the German counter proposals
among themselves this week.
Officials say they do not con-
slider the United States 13-na-
ton plan Interchangeable and
they think a compromise of the
United States and West Ger
man views should be possible.

GJdJ6S-I1eIIudu differences over
proposals for negotiating a
Berlin access agreement with
Russia.
The differences between the
two allies have been a handi-
cap to the United States in its
talks with Russia on Berlin's
future. TIE talks have been
under way since September.
Today's meeting at the State
Department was arranged by
Mr.. RuSk after Mr.. Dobrynin
failed to take any initiative
himself in setting up a con-
ference. The two men last
conferred on the Berlin situa-
ton a month ago.
Some informantS said that
because of the allied disagree
ment Mr.. RuSk's talks with
Mr.. Dohrynin would be general
in nature.
Separate Issue Sought
There were reports, however,
that Mr.. Rusk is trying to get
the Soviet government to agree
to negotiate on the status of
the access routes as an issue
separate from problems involv-
ing the status of West Berlin
itself. *r'
The purpose of this de
linking" strategy is to try to
define one or more problems
which can be- negotiated. The
United States, Britain and
France, as well as West Ger
many, have repeatedly de-
clared that Russia's demand
that the western powers agree
to withdraw their forces from
West Berlin and give it the
status of a free city" in the
heart of Communist East Ger
many is totally unacceptable
and therefore not negotiable.
Mr.. Rusk has made clear to
the Russians, however that
the United States is prepared
to negotiate about the access
routes and has suggested the
creation of an international
authority to control and oper-
ate the routes.

of the social worker as the
friend at the door rather than
the snoop in the closet" is not
