Control Latum Weeds Weeds are the greatest enfcrtiy of all cultivated vegetation, whether it be a lawn, vegutatjfe garden, or field crop. PrtftMtbfy more crop failures have been caused by weeds than drought, floods, or fires combined. The important first step in ridding your lawn of weeds and insuring against future weed infestation is to have a heavy carpet of healthy turf. Four things are essential to ^building and maintaining a good turf: Adequate soil moisture; abundant plartt nutrients; not too close mowing'; favorable soil reaction.: thus, if you water your lawn thoroughly, rather than merely sprinkle it; fertilize your lawn during those periods when the grass will tr benefited but not the weeds (early spring and fall); and leave enough leaf area on the grass after mowing to insure healthy plant growth (about 1% inches) you will have done much towards having, the weedless lawn. A heavy turf is only the firs step in suppressing the weed menace in your lawn. In order tc cany out a truly effective Wee elimination campaign, special measures for their control must b taken. This means the diligent use of chemical weed killers, applied in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions. Tests have shown that the effectiveness FOR THE BEST IN TV SEE YOUR - IVIUNTZ T V.

Overcoming a general rising trend in traffic fatalities, three counties achieved notablfe reduction: Iroquois, from 32 to 15; Sangamon, from 48 to 28, and Madison, from 71 to 43. Eosenstone's report noted a' 2 per cent increase In automotive travel in Illinois last ytear. The 7.6 deaths recorded for each 100 million miles is 6 per cent highev than in 1961, and marks the first yearly increase of Mta rfnd* since the end of World War II. ^ Ywe*?le«e OWMBM Tero-pi«©« cottumes "at IwmI * •onsisting at a slender «ldrt .eaT •- p US Jacket are perfect togallime* t '*> Whqsi you want variety, wear W Jacket with a pleated skirt or fl* ridri with a sweater and • lulgM , scarf. ; stage of advance of the plant and by keeping In touch with weathe. forecasts, you can adopt a spraying schedule which will prevent insects and fungus diseases from marring the beauty of your lawn and garden.
