Experiments at Wisley have proâ€" ven that more vigorous growth of dark green grass is usually noticeâ€" able within a week after the appliâ€" cation of a solution of Potassium Permanganate â€" the old reliable throat gargle. The rate of applicaâ€" tion can be varied to meet the differâ€" ing soil conditions. For instance, heavy loams and clays respond to light applications, while the lighter type soils seem to require quite heavy applications. The puppet club will present "Mr. Pickle Nose" with the following takâ€" ing part: Beatrice Weiss, Dorothy Hoffman, Joan Peters, and Lorraine Tuttle, with Miss Marjorie Merritt directing. After the program there will be refreshments and a social hour. Mrs. Frederick C. Ritter is president of the P.T.A. This little hint originating from Prof. C. B. Greening of the Royal Horticultural society at Wisley, England, may help you to improve your lawn materially. On heavy soils, the application of about % ounce of Potassium Perâ€" manganate dissolved in two gallons of water and sprinkled on three square yards of lawn usually is very effective. On the lighter type soils, it may be necessary to use as much as 1 ounce of Pottassium Perâ€" manganate in a gallon of water and sprinkled on one square yard of lawn. Applications can be made at reguâ€" lar intervals of two to three weeks with satisfactory results. Tooâ€"Potassium Permanganate is an excellent cure for mossy lawns. Water them with a Potassium Perâ€" manganate solution made up of one ounce Pottassizm Permanganate in one gallon of water and, apply one moss, give a second dose about ten "Dad‘s Night" Will Feature Deerfield P.
