Ringwoocl News ECOLOGY IN ACTION-Putting his fool to the shovel is Eugene Canady, son of Mrs. Ervin Abernathy of Huemann's subdivision, and assisting is Raymond Chapman (left) son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Chapman of Lakeland Park. Boy Scout Troop 120 thinks ecology has something in common with the weather. Everybody complains about it, but nothing much is done, so a special meeting of the troop was called to put into effect members own plan of ecology in action. Eighteen Scouts met and planted 500 Scotch Pine trees. By the time these boys are reaching maturity, the trees will be doing the same. When asked how they felt about this project they said, "We're tired but we feel good inside." U n d e r s t a n d i n g t h a t everyone, even young boys, are responsible for their en­ vironment is part of the troop's training in citizenship. Boy Scout Troop 120 is sponsored by the First Baptist church of McHenry. Robert Hensley is scoutmaster. The boys meet regularly at the church Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. Other boys interested in scouting are invited to consider becoming a part of this troop. PROPER MOWING Careful mowing will keep your lawn more attractive this summer. A good rule of thumb is to mow often enough to remove no more than one-third of the foliage. This means that to keep Kentucky bluegrass at a height of two inches, it should be no more than three inches when you mow it. But the recommended cut­ ting height varies with type of grass in your lawn. Following is a list of various grasses and their suggested cutting heights: - Improved varieties of Kentucky bluegrass (Fyllsing, PennsUr, Adelphi, Nugget, A- 20, Baron, Bonnieblue) IV2 to 2 inches. --Other Kentucky bluegrass varieties, mixtures containing Kentucky bluegrass, red fescue and perennial ryegrass, 2 to 2V2 inches. -Tall fescue, 3 inches or more. Ber--Zoysiagrass and mudagrass V2 to 1 inch. -Bentgrass, V4 to 3/4 inch. Whether rotary or reel type, keep your mower sharp and in good repair. You can set the mower to proper cutting height by placing it on a level sidewalk or driveway and adjusting the cutting edge as necessary. If you're mowing a lawn that has been recently seeded, sodded or stolonized, be sure the ground is dry enough to prevent tracking. Eagles are thought to have about 8 times as keen eyesight as humans.
