LAWN GROWTH The first remedies for poor lawn growth and appearance that usually come to the homeowner's mind are reseeding, and applying fertilizer, especially nitrogen and weed killer. The application o f a g r i c u l t u r a l limestone to correct soil acidity is frequently overlooked, when in fact, low soil pH is the underlying cause of these problems in many lawn situations. This is not surprising in light of the soil conditions under which many lawns are grown. When the construction of a house is complete, the topsoil, if replaced at all, is frequently replaced at a lesser thickness than it oc- cured naturally prior to excavation. As a result, grass roots usually must seek nutrients and moisture in tough clay acid subsoil. Further aggravating the problem are the applications of acid- forming nitrogen fer­ tilizers which are repeated annually to achieve the dark green color considered the "earmark" of a healthy lawn. This nitrogen, which accumulates in the topsoil, may push pH readings in this soil zone into the 4.0 to 5.0 range. , The result is a Strongly acid > soil en­ vironment unfavorable for healthy turf development and ap­ pearance and effective action of weed killers, I but conducive to the establishment of weeds, many of which thrive in acid soils. The regular use of agricultural limestone, in conjunction with a program of fertilizer and weed killer ap­ plication, and reseeding as needed, can prevent these problems, and assure the homeowner of a lawn he will be proud of. Shopper Accuracy American grocery store sh­ oppers are startlingly accur­ ate in making price-compar­ ison calculations in the super­ market; their mathematical accuracy in a market situation far exceeds their ability to cor­ rectly answer problems of eq­ ual difficulty in a test situa­ tion. Almost to a person, how­ ever, shoppers perceive them­ selves to be poor calculators. Pregnant, « NEED HELP? am BIRTHRIGHT OFFICE OPEN 9 - 11AM AND FROM 7 • 9PM j MON.
