Late August is the best time to restore weak, patchy lawns, says D.B. MceNeill, Ontario Ministrv of Agricul- ture and Food horticulturist. "Cool faîl weather stimaul- ates grass growth, and seed- lings have time to establish roots before winter." Lawn deterioration eau be caused by poor soul, poor drainage, excessive. shade, weeds, pests, or improper maintenance. "'Poor lawns can berevital- ized withi adequate watering or by increased soul fertility." if lawns have few bare spots and topsoil is good, Mr. McNeill says, complete reseeding is unnecessary. Apply a good herbicide bef ore spreading seed. "To avoid waste, reseed only bare spots more than one foot square. Seed by miid- September with a good grass mixture such as creeping fescue and Kentucky blue- grass". Thin lawns require topdres- sing to provide a suitable seedbed. "Prepare lawns for comn- plete reseeding by remioving ail dead and cut vegetation. Apply a herbicide, such as paraquat, at four ounces per two gal-lons of water for 1000 square feet of lawn." This treatment burns off vegetation without leaving harmnful residue. When turf grass is dead, cultivate the' top two inches of soul, rake lawn surfaces and sow seed. e e e e e e s e e e e e e e. e e, e 0 1900e EVENUNG REGISTRATIONE DURHAME COLLEGE E EXTENSION COURSES IN OSHAWAu TUESDAY SEPT. 13 E THURSDAY SEPT. 15 E MONDAY SEPT. 19 E 6:30 9:00P.
