FOR LAWN USE : A sweet and rich soil is the first 

 essential to a good lawn. It is generally noted that' a 

 sour or acid condition of lawns prevails in districts where 

 much coal is burned, as the sulphur in the smoke is 

 carried into the soil by the rain, thus creating this acid 

 condition. When making a new la^vn work well into the 

 surface soil about 10 lbs. Hydrated Lime or 30 lbs. Lime- 

 stone to each 250 Square Feet. In renovating old lawns 

 where spading or plowing is not practical, spread on the 

 surface either in the Spring or Fall, two-thirds the amount 

 of Lime as prescribed above for new lawns. Just before 

 growth starts in the Spring, a top dressing of Sheep Fer- 

 tilizer or Bone Meal Mill give excellent results.
