Chats with the Master Gardener %. HOW TO RID YOUR LAWN OF THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1987 I know lots of folks have given up hope of ever having a weedless lawn. And if I try to tell them that they really can have one they‘re likely not to believe me. But the treatment I‘m going to prescribe has eured lots of lawns that their ownâ€" ers had given up for lost, and I cerâ€" tainly"want to urge you to give it a fair trial. 3 In trying to get rid of weeds, the first thing to consider is this. A weed and a grass plant just naturâ€" ally can‘t w on the same identiâ€" cal spot. flywhnnmh(nu plants, if your turf is thick enough, the weeds can‘t get started. But when your grass is thin, when it doesn‘t completely cover the ground, every little spot of bare soil pracâ€" tically invites weed seeds to light and grow. And you know you can‘t keep weed seeds off your place; every breeze brings in a crowd of them. So you see why it is that if your grass gets thin you‘re sure to have a healthy crop of dandelions and plantains and other pests. The real answer to this thin grass problemâ€"and consequently to the weed problemâ€"is proper feeding. Because a thin, weedy lawn is a halfâ€"starved lawn, almost . every time. Here‘s why. All through the growing season your grass roots are constantly drawing eleven different food eleâ€" ments from the soil, and every sinâ€" gle one of these elements is necesâ€" sary for healthy growth. If you let even one of them become exâ€" hausted from the soil, you‘re headed for trouble. Just like a child on an incomplete diet, your grass will beâ€" come thin and sickly, will begin to die out. And right then the weeds get going! Sothe first and by far the most important step in controllâ€" ing weeds is to make sure that your grass has all eleven of these needed food elements. s » "Very good," you say, "it sounds like a great idea. But how about the weed roots that are already in my soil, just waiting to spring up and spoil my lawn?" ‘Well, the anâ€" swer is exactly the same! You see, grass roots start growing earlier in the spring than weed roots do. ‘ If you give your lawn a good square meal early enoughâ€"just as soon as frost is out of the groundâ€"it will when weeds do crop up, your gTass give your grass a great big head start over ‘the weeds. And later, BOWMAN MILK COSTS NO MORE! THE FINEST OF 1TS KINDLE _ should be growing so strongly that lots of weeds will find no room to grow; they‘ll be choked out. Feed Early umminuun:l-m make the grass choke out all the weeds in one season. But if you do it right, and doâ€"it early enough, it will cut the number down so greatly that you‘ll feel like going after the rest by hand. But rememberâ€"to be effective, it must be.done just as soon as frost is out of the ground. And rememâ€" ber, too, that just any old plant food won‘t do. Manures, for inâ€" MMMM“ and putting them on your lawn just makes the problem that much worse. I‘d recommend that you buy a comâ€" plete plant food, one that supplies all eleven of the food elements your grass needs from the soil. Apply it to your entire lawn, 4 younds per 100 square feet. Another ~year of statistics has been compiled. It is estimated that 88,500 people have been killed by automobiles. & ‘The pity of that total is this: Alâ€" most 50 per cent of the people killâ€" ed by automobiles were pedestrians. In spite of this, people still insist on jay walking at crossings, walkâ€" ing between intersections, and stepâ€" ping out from behind parked cars. These are dangerous practices and can be stopped only when each and every person becomes safety conâ€" scious to the point that he feels he should set an example for others. After ~spending half the night celebrating a birthday party, two young men left in separate cars for home. They drove different routes but as they lived in the same neighâ€" borhood, they eventually had to cross their route somewhere. It so hapâ€" pened that while driving at a reckâ€" less rate of speed, they collided at one of the intersections. Both of them got out and were about to enâ€" gage in a heated argument about driving while drunk when suddenly they recognized one another. _ This driving while under the inâ€" fluerce of liquor is a subject that comes up frequently in safety disâ€" cussions and to me there is only one sound piece of advice to eliminate this type of accident. Here it is: If you must drink, don‘t drive. If you must drive;, don‘t drink. Now, of course, I wouldn‘t want THE FARMâ€"TOâ€"MARKET ROAD by C. C. Wiley Associate Professor of Highway Engineers University of Illinois “r-r:‘-mm"fi rdmd" has been a sort of cai ever since proâ€" paganda for 'gmnd high ways was first started in this state. It almost disappeared during the inâ€" tensive period of . construction on the state highways but seems now to have come to life again. The curious thing about the farmâ€" toâ€"market road is that no one seems to know just what it is. To some farmers it is the road to their gate. To some city men it.is the road to nowhere. Some road authorities by inference indicate the secondary or county roads while others, as for example the Illinois Division of Highways, speak of the "tertiary or farmâ€"toâ€"market road." On only two points does there seem to be univerâ€" sal agreement; first, that the farmâ€" toâ€"market road is not the primary or state road, and second, that it is a road directly serving the farmer. The true significance of farmâ€"toâ€" market road has been brought out by studies of farm travel in several typical agricultural states including. Illinois. These studies, conducted by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, show that out of every 100 miles traveled by farmers 60 miles were on the state trunk roads, 20 miles on . county roads, 5 miles on city streets, and only 15 miles on the local roads to their gates. Thus the farmers actually use the state highâ€" ways four times as much as they do SAFETY and SERVICE 101 North 8t.

Years ahead in design, in appearance and performance, the Lincolnâ€"Zephyr receives its most enthusiastic praise from owners who have previously driven much higher priced cars: "It‘s the most extraordinary car I have ever owned"..."Never before have I experienced such a thrill from driving anâ€"automobile" . . ."

If only the local roads were imâ€" modthur-wddlnu‘ ted from market than if only the primary roads were paved, beâ€" cause 60 per cent of his travel is on the latter. lar idea that the real farmâ€"toâ€"marâ€" ket road is the local road, or even the county road, In fact that figâ€" ures indicate clearly that every road is a farmâ€"toâ€"market road. Conseâ€" rntlynuhmmm rstanding would be avoided if the term "farmâ€"toâ€"market" were utterly abandoned in favor of the more fair and accurate designations of priâ€" mary, secondary and local . _ The farmer has a complete farmâ€" toâ€"market road only when all three parts, primary, secondary, and local are developed proportionately. This eannot be maccomplished all at one time but must be a progressive proâ€" cess in which the primary system is the most important since a dollar spent on it yields the greatest servâ€" ice to the largest number.
