Many â€" gardeners are learning from actual experience that it is advisable and also desirable, from many standpoints, to apply plant food to lawns very early in the spring â€" long before the grass shows signs of making top growth. This may seem ridiculous to many people not familiar with all the facts, but once they have looked into the matter thoroughly, and once they have tried the early spring appliâ€" cation to the lawn, they never go back to former methods of late spring application for the first feedâ€" ing of the lawn. Grass is a plant which makes its best growth during cool weather. Root action begins long before top growth is cvident. So to make the best possible use of favorable growâ€" ing conditions, grass roots should have available a supply of complete halanced plant food early in the seaâ€" sonâ€"just as the frost is coming out of the ground. At that time the soil is porous and honeycombâ€" ed, and the spring rains carry the nourishment right down to the root zone where the hungry grass roots utilize the food as soon as the grass starts growing. "Feed lawn just as frost is comâ€" ing out of ground, and before the grass begins to grow. Amount to use, 4 lbs. of complete balanced plant food per 100 square feet. Apâ€" py evenly by hand, same as sowing grass seed, or use a kitchen colanâ€" der, or plant food spreader. No watering required when fed at this time. Will help eradicate weeds." This early feeding helps grass produce a thick root growth and a healthy, luxuriant top growth that chokes out â€" weeds and prevents young weeds from getting a start.

And now that we have explained the advantage of early feeding to the lawn, here are the advantages to the wardener:: _ Application of plant food to the lawn before it has made any top growth saves laâ€" bor, because there is no necessity of watering the plant food in; thus this step, which is necessary in later feedings, can be eliminated in the initial feeding of the lawn. Another advantage to the garâ€" dener is the opportunity of getting lawn work done at a time when there are not so many other presâ€" sing gardening tasks, as is the case in late March and in April. be sheared off.

But, to me, this one minâ€" ute discussion gives a complete picâ€" ture of the situation at this session of Congress. Congress has been meeting since January 3rd. In the third month the Majority Leader admits with commendable candor that to date "Mr. Barton. _ Mr. Speaker, I have asked for this time in order to ask a question of the majority leadâ€" er. I am receiving a great many letters from my constituents asking about the Walterâ€"Logan bill. I wonâ€" der whether the majority leader has decided that the bill is to come beâ€" fore us for discussion and action at this session. "Mr. Rayburn. A rule has been granted on that bill, but no time has been fixed for its consideration. "Mr. Barton. Is it a part of the program that we will probably come to before adjournment? ‘"Mr. Rayburn. There has been no specific program made out as yet. What we want to do is pass the apâ€" propriation bills as fast as they come to the House and intersperse with matters more or less controâ€" versial. As far as general legislaâ€" tion is concerned, there has been no program made. Washington, D.C., March 16â€"A very important colloquy on the Floor of the House between Congressman Bruce Barton, (R), of New York, and Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, (D), of Texas, is worth repeating verbatim. In that one minute disâ€" cussion a great deal was said which, by implication at least, describes this session of Congress. What was said by these two gentlemen on the opposite sides of the aisle has perâ€" haps more significance than the words themselves convey. "Mr. Barton.

But it cerâ€" tainly appears that no more is inâ€" tended, particularly inasmuch as the political party conventions will shortly open and it is expected that Congress will accordingly adjourn by late May or early June. What major legislation Congress considered at this session, save for the appropriation bills and the Reâ€" ciprocal Trade Agreement Extenâ€" sion Bill, has been legisiation more or less forced on the Administration by the pressure in Congress itself and by public opinion. That is true of the Hatch Bill whis has caused so much controversy in the Senate. It is also true of possible amendments to the National Labor Relations Act. And the same is also true of the soâ€" called Walterâ€"Logan Bill, to which Mr. Barton referred. Not one of these proposals is Administration sponsored. Indeed there is good eviâ€" dence that the Administration would like to avoid their enactment if poliâ€" tically possible.
