SPRING has arrived and
soon after Easter no doubt
the weather conditions will
make it possible for farmers
and gardeners to do some of
the early planting. This is
very important to some crops
to get them in the ground
as early as possible. I'm
thinking of such crops as
spring ‘oats, pasture seedings,
and some vegetable crops.
All of these will take advan-
tage of the cooler weather
with good moisture to make
rapid growth and beat the
hot weather of later this
Spring. Garden crops such as
onions, radish, peas, lettuce,
and cabbage can stand cold
weather and the sooner they
are planted, when weather
and soil conditions permit,
the earlier the family will
be able to enjoy fresh vege-
tables. Lawns that are to
be seeded this Spring should
also get attention as early as
weather permits.
IN RECENT years I’ve heard
some discussion about the
value of barnyard manure
with the question of wheth-
er or not it is worth hauling
and spreading. This past win-
ter the weather was not too
good for regular hauling and
spreading and as a result a
large pile is waiting on them.
I'm still of the opinion that
this source of fertilizer is a
valuable asset to any farm-
er and should be spread on
the fields before plowing.
The exact fertilizer content
Control Your Lawn Weeds Now
Have you ever been beaten
to the punch by a weed? Most
jome owners would have to
answer yes to that.
More and more home owners
are finding that chemical weed
control in the early spring pro-
duces a thick, vigorous an
~peautiful lawn during the sum-
mer. Chemical weed control in
the spring eliminates weed
competition for plant food and
water, allowing the grass to get
“a better start.
| .The proper application of
weed control chemicals is im-
portant. According to the Na-
tional Sprayer and Duster
Association, there are several
different types of equipment
which can be used to rid the
lawn of weeds.
For small and medium-sized
lawns, the hese-end sprayer is’
an inexpensive but -effective
tool for overall treatment. For
spot-spraving, the compressed
air sprayer is ideal. If you have
a large lawn, you may want to
consider a power sprayer.
The Association states that
lawn weed control is most effec-
tive when the chemical is
sprayed in course droplets with
the nozzle held 18 inches or
less from the surface. What-
ever sprayer best fits your
needs, the important thing is
that early weed control will’
give your lawn a good start
this spring. And remember;

Week, March 20 to 26.

may vary but in all cases
the organic matter is useful
to maintain good soil struc-
ture. The adding of super-
phosphate to the manure
will help make it a more
balanced fertilizer.
THE BROADLEAF ever-
greens for landscaping are
very attractive and should
get some consideration for
all homes and buildings. We
are referring to azaleas, hol-
lies, and rhododendrons;
their favorite location is on
the north side of a building
where they get less sun both
in summer and winter; they
are acid-loving plants that
do best in a well drained
shady place; when making
the plantings the topsoil
should be mixed with 50%
peat moss for the backfill;
keep all forms of lime away
from these p'ants. After the
hole has been nearly filled,
mulch with several inches of
peat moss, rotted sawdust, or
wood chips. Keep the area
well watered during the first
season after planting.
GROUND COVERS are wor-
thy of more attention around
many homes and industrial
areas; they can be used ef-
fectively around trees, close
to walls and foundations,
and areas where plant ma-
terials are not normally
planted. Many ground covers:
such as Pachysandra, prefer
shaded areas and will do
well under trees where grass
will not grow. Baltic Ivy and
Myrtle (Periwinkle) do well
in open sun or partial shade
and can be used between
foundation plantings. On
steep slopes to control wash-
ing ground covers such as
Crown Vetch or Honeysuck-
le can be planted and will
eliminate the problem for
vears. Consider the use of
these ground covers, not only
for beautv, but also as a liv-
ing mulch.
