4 ^. TKunday. Much 30.1981 THEMcHEHBY PLAWDEAtER Tips On Good Spring Lawns By W. H. Gsrman Chief Agriculturist Rational Plant Food Institute Most lawns suffer because of lack of plant food. If you seeded ana fertilized your lawn last fall, it will bestfn to grow early this spring. Keep it mowed to a height of an inch and onehalf. Fertilize at first cutting with 20 to 30 pounds per 1,000 squafre feet of lawn area with a good lawn fertilizer. This will be in March or April, depend-, upon your locality and climatic conditions. Fertilization at this time encourages rapid root development and early establishment of the young -plants. In case you did not seed or fertilize last fall, it may pay you to apply a good lawn seed mixture at two to three pounds per 1,000 square feet in March ojw April. Keep in mind that spring lawn seedings fail more often than do fall seedings. Be surfr to buy a good lawn seea mixture, and ' to follow the seeding directions on the container. Keep the lawn surface moist until the new plants have been established. Often spring rains will do this, but if the surface becomes dry, be sure to apply a light sprinkler iijaigation. Moisten with a fine rirat about midday, and if temperatures are unusually high, moisten again about 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Never apply too much water at a time because excessive moisture can bring about a disease known as "damping-off" which kills the young seedlings. In case you did not fertilize your lawn last fall, then plan M feed it twice this spring. Give it an immediate application of a good lawn fertilizer at about 20 to 30 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Then, in order to build up fertility, a similar application should be made about June 1. Because fertilizers vary in weight and plant food content, always read and follow the directions on the package. Your Wulizer may call for more or less than the above amounts. Also, always sprinkle your lawn immediately after fertilizing it. And never spread fertilizer when grass is the least bit damp from dew or rain. You can have a good lawn even though your soil may be shallow, or sandy, or your lawn may be sloping. A little ion "giVen rt£d' ytoui^'IMvti Wea will bring greater pride and joy than an equivalent amount of energy devoted to almost any other enterprise. With a little extra care you may become the pride of the neighborhood in just one short season. Be sure to buy a good quality lawn fertilizer. Good quality fertilizers are produced by table firms and are for sale through fertilizer dealers, garden supply houses, . hardware stores, etc. DRUM-BUGLE fORPS BEGINS tTSY SEASON If there is any doubt in your itid about spring being here, "u will note that the Viscounts have their trailer parked in back of the American Legion ready to start their busy season.

EXPLAIN COUNTY INSURANCE PLAN TO TAXPAYERS Many people have /tried to study their insurance policies and got bogged down in terms like risks, double indemnity, .casualty provision premiums and comprehensive. Ernest Bohn, insurance-committee chairman for the county board of supervisors, asserts, "among the many services the county of McHenry give to the taxpayer is one of which the average person is not aw&re. This is the huge job of the insurance committee appointed by the chairmati'of the board, Harley Mackeben. According to Mackeben, the committee knows as much as any one in the countyabout insurance, liability and' the intricate laws affecting government liability. "But, he pays "there is more to learn." Sbme of the county's insurance is mandatory, Bohn points out. For example there, is the workmen's compensation. This covers the county for injury on the job. Over $3,000 is paid in annual premiums. There is another $3,000 paid annually for public liability and auto liability. This covers all automobiles in the highway department, sheriff's squads and even the patrol boat on the Fox river. There is $1,200,000 protection against loss by fire. This covers the court house, sheriff's home, jail, court house annex, county farm, Valley- Hi nursing home and the highway garage. Funds are budgeted for this purpose yearly and that insurance is placed annually on a competitive bidding basis. Many of us put off living, by dreaming of some magical rose garden away over the horizon, instead of enjoying the roses under our window. CROSSWORD By A. C.
