This is generally due to the use of mixtures containing seeds o f varieties of grasses whicb live only, one year. If -a permanent iawn is to be secured, seed of the. permanent grasses, must be sown .and suggestions were made last week to., guide you in their selec- tion. You doubtless wishý to know more about the grasses mentioned. *Kentucky Blue grass and Chew- ing's Fescue are the best general pur- p~ose grasses for this region., pre4dic-~ ing a dense and beautiful turf which wil become better year after 'year if properly cared for. Chewing's Fes- cue grows somewbat« better on sandy soil than does Kentucky Biue while the reverse is true on hýeavy soils. Seed for. Partil Shade Fine Leaf Fescue and Poa trivialis are the best grasses' for partially shaded areas and will do welI if givean the extra care made necessary by the E especialiy for inose of the Cen- tral states, these are only three constituents that mnust be supplied in order to adopt systems of farm- ing that, if continued, will increase, or at. least permanently mnaintail,, the productive power of the soit. These are limestone, phosphorus, and organic_ matter.. The lime- stone.must be used.to correct acid-1 ity and So metimes. to supply the element calcium., The phosphorus is needed solelyr for its, piant-food value. The sup ply of organic. mat-ý ter must, be renewed to provide nitrogen from its.d&compositio>n and to, make available the potas- sium and othier -essential-elements contained in the soit in abundance. as, well as to liberate phosphorus f rom the raw mineraI phosphate naturally contained in or applieil toý the soil."ý-Cyril G. Hopkins, Ph. D.. University of Illinois. (C'outributed hv Louis J. Lore.i.zini) grasses may be of good quality or~ they Înay be of poor quality. Thle quality of any seed is measured by, its purity (freedom front seeds of other varieties), its persentage of germination, its freedom from weed seeds and inert material, and its ability to produce -strong plants which, will be able to establish themselves even under more or less unfavorable conditions: Low grade seeds mav THE.
