SCHOOL STARTS TUESDAY Tuesday is the day most school children have been hoping would never arrive and most moms have been thinking would never come! Yes, school starts after a leisurely summer vacation. This prompts me to remind everyone to be extra cautious of children who gather on corners to wait for busses and who walk to school. Drivers must remember to reduce their speed to the school hour limit and to never, never pass a stopped school bus! And, now that the summer vacation is drawing to a close, won't you phone me with news of how your family enjoyed the summer? Do phone!

THREE-WEEK VACATION Ruth Roach and her son, Ray, recently returned from a 22 day vacation that took them to Montana where they visited Lyle Clow, Ruth's cousin, and various camp sites. They arrived in Helena, July 25, just in time for the thir­ teenth annual Last Chance Stampede. That evening they enjoyed watching the square dancers and the following day they went to the rodeo. That Saturday they watched the Stampede Parade in which Lyle had a part, then left for Lyle's farm near Lewistown, where Ruth especially enjoyed looking through old letters, some dating back to 1901 and 1903. She brought home a letter and a postcard her dad wrote in 1917 and Ruth said it isn't even yellow. On Monday they had a real adventure when the three of them floated down the Judith river on a rubber raft with only a burlap water container, loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter! Ruth and Ray enjoyed visiting at the farm for the next few days before leaving to go camping. Aug. 2 they left for Glacier Park and camped at Kiowa that night. They arrived at their destination the next day and set up camp at the Rising Sun campgrounds, then went to Browning where they visited the Museum of the Plains In­ dians and the Museum of Natural Wild Life. The next day they drove on the Going-to-the- Sun Road to Logan Pass where they took a nature tour, then went on the Lake McDonald, returned to their camp site where they took a ten mile boat ride which returned in time for dinner and enabled them to attend the evening Ranger Naturalist program on The Living Land. Next they went to Waterton Lake National Park in Alberta, Canada. Lyle, Ruth and Ray enjoyed eating lunch in Canada and dinner in the United States. They stood with one foot in Canada and the Othgr Irf'the* United States which should be an interesting picture. The next morning they left Rising Sun Campgrounds and arrived at Apgar Campgrounds in West Glacier where Ray finally enjoyed himself swimming until it turned too cold. That evening they attended the ranger program and were pleased that this program was accompanied with slides. From Apgar they drove to Avalanche campground where they enjoyed a quarter mile nature walk through the Trail of the Cedars and braved a four mile hike down Avalanche Trail to the Lake. After break­ fast the next morning they drove through North Fork Nature Trail, then ate lunch and left for Tally Lake. Just about every evening was spent around a campfire. The next couple of days they swam and relaxed and on Saturday they returned to Helena. Sunday they visited the Charles Russel Museum and on Monday they went to the Lewis and Clark Cavern but they saved their day at Frontier Town for last. They headed home to McHenry on Wed­ nesday. Aug. 5, but between planes at Billings Municipal Airport Ruth and Kay went through Yellowstone County Museum. They both thoroughly enjoyed their trip and hope to keep it an annual event.

Conerty, Jr., Woodstock, member, New Members committee. By Matthew S. Rosen Instructor - Ornamental Horticulture McHenry County College Has the summer taken its toll on your lawn? Do you have dead areas of turf? Are weeks flourishing where once green grass grew? Take heart. The time to retaliate has finally come. Next to the spring, now is the best time to renovate a lawn. Temperatures are cool enough to use herbicides; and yet, still warm enough for the germinating seeds to get a good start on life before the onset of winter. Begin today by having the pH of your soil tested. Where? At McHenry County college. Simply drop off about a pint of soil. We will perform the suitable tests for free, and recommend how much, if any, limestone is required. To obtain a representative sample, collect a little soil from three or four different areas of your lawn and mix them together. Most lawn weeds can be eradicated by spraying with a combination of 2,4-D and silvex, or 2,4-D and MCPP. When applying herbicides, be sure to follow the manufac­ turer's direction to the letter. Remember, a weed is simply defined as a plant out of place. A broad-leaved herbicide like 2,4-D cannot tell the difference between a dandelion and an oak tree. It is equally capable of killing either. To emphasize the potential potency of the com­ monly used herbicides, let me point out that many of the week killers you are using are the same chemicals employed by the United States in South Vietnam as jungle defoliants. Because many of these materials are extremely volatile (become gases) at high temperatures, never apply herbicides when the tem­ perature is, or will be, over 85 F for the ensuing twenty four hour period. While in the gaseous state, weed killers have been known to drift to ten or even fifteen miles, causing selective damage to plants along the way. A stricken tree or shrub is truly a sad sight to behold: The leaves turn either bright yellow or white, and become leathery in texture. The tender, new growth quickly becomes contorted into various bizarre, unnatural shapes. Once the chemical is inside the plant the damage is done.Unfortunately, there are absolutely no corrective measures. Only time will tell. If the dose was not lethal, the symptoms will gradually disappear --over a period three or four years. In order to avoid drift, never, but I mean never, put down herbicides on a windy day. The Nassau County Highway department on Long Island once sprayed amino triazole, an extremely powerful her­ bicide, on a gusty day. The material drifted for ten miles. Ten years later, the county was still settling lawsuits. Believe me, it was a mistake they never made again. Approximately two weeks after the herbicide application, rake your lawn briskly, making certain to loosen up any dead grass, as well as the surface soil. If you are willing to spend a little extra money,- rent a power thatcher from your local garden center, or landscaper. By pulling up almost all the thatch (dead matted grass below the soil surface), this easy-to-use machine makes an excellent seedbed. aryains -- FINAL 2 WEEKS . . .

Apply a complete fertilizer as the rate of one pound of nitrogen per thousand square feet. For the sake of clarity. I think I had better explain- interpret that sentence in greater detail. A complete fertilizer is one that contains nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. On each bag there are three numbers: the first stands for the per cent nitrogen; the second phosphorous; and the third potassium. Thus, one must apply ten pounds of a 10-6-4 fertilizer to obtain the required one pound of nitrogen. Contrary to popular belief, there is no one best turf fer­ tilizer. Figure out how much each product costs in terms of the price per pound of nitrogen. Whichever is the cheapest buy. Strict government regulations guarantee the accuracy of the information stated on the label. Remember, when you pur­ chase brand names you are paying for the company's advertising. You are now ready to seed. If the area being renovated already has a fairly good stand of grass, with only an oc­ casional brown spot here and there, over-seed at the rate of one pound per thousand square feet. For new lawns. 3-4 lbs. of seed-1000 sq. ft. is recom­ mended. The question I feel sure many of you must now be asking yourselves is. "what variety of grass should I sow0" Per­ sonally. on sites receiving fifty per cent or more sunlight, 1 have found that two varieties of Kentucky bluegrass. Merion and Fylking, are consistently the most reliable. You can hold down the cost a bit by planting a mixture made up of 50 per­ cent Merion (or Fylking), and 50 percent NK 100, Pelo, Norlea or Manhattan. The latter are all improved varieties of perennial ryegrass. Red fescue, and Poa trivalis are probably the best grasses for shadier locations. The key now is water. Because newly germinated seedlings are quite tender, 1 suggest watering lightly every day, expecially if the weather is hot. A day or two of insufficient moisture, and temperatures in the nineties is all it takes to severly dry out, and possibly even kill the young plants. A word of caution: Lest you wash out the seed, do not become over zealous in your watering efforts. The old axiom which states that "if a little is good, twice as much will be better, and triple the amount will do a super job," just does not hold true. Wait until the seedlings are approximately three inches tall before making your first cut. P.\(iK $ - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY. AUGUST31, 1973 successful candidate until now.
