DOG GRASS IN LAWNS. 



Will you please let me know what 

 is the best way to get rid of dog grass 

 m a newly made lawn? The lawn is 

 completely covered with it. There are 

 ten acres of lawn. J. J. N.— Mass. 



This grass, also called crab grass and 

 wire grass, comes in late summer, not 

 only in new but also in old lawns. The 

 plant IS an annual and the first frost 

 kills it. In small lawns it can be pulled 

 or dug out. On larger areas every efifort 

 should be made to prevent it from seed- 



ing. Mow the lawn closely, then rake 

 over the grass. This will pull up a lot 

 of the dog grass, which is prostrate in 

 its habit, llun the lawn mowers over 

 again and, to still farther reduce it, give 

 another raking in the opposite direction 

 and mow once more. Keep this up for 

 a week or two and you will get rid of 

 most of this noxious weed, which asserts 

 itself most when the weather is hot and 

 dry and when regular lawn grasses are 

 more or less parched. C. W.
