• HOW TO MAKE A LAWN • 
T he two fundamental requirements for a good lawn are that the soil be sweet and 
fertile. Fertility is not as important as freedom from acidity. The best way to 
“sweeten” the soil is to broadcast air-slaked lime at the rate of one bushel to every 
1000 square feet. Dig or plow the soil deeply and enrich it with bonemeal, wood ashes, or 
Pulverized Sheep Manure. We do not recommend stable manure, as it is generally full of 
weed seeds. After digging, rake the soil well until it is free of stones and trash, thoroughly 
pulverized and perfectly smooth. Then sow Page’s Lawn Mixture (see back cover) at the 
rate of one pound to every 200 square feet. Rake it again, then roll well, to pack the ground 
firmly. As soon as the grass is about 3 inches tall, cut with a sharp lawn-mower. A dull 
mower pulls the young grass out by the roots. Regular cutting from the start stimulates 
additional activity of the roots, and the best lawns are clipped regularly, but not too closely. 
Stanley*s Crow Repellent 
Over $1,000,000 is lost every year on account of 
crows and other pests pulling corn while it is germi¬ 
nating, sprouting, and rooting. The great extent of 
this loss is being given more consideration each year 
in farming methods, by those who want the biggest 
return in bushels for the effort and money put in. 
Stanley’s Crow Repellent protects and insures 
against loss of seed and labor of replanting. It 
protects the seed from rotting in the ground and 
insures larger yields per acre. It is non-poisonous 
and will not injure the seed, nor will it kill birds or 
animals. Your dealer should have it in stock. 
Pulverized Sheep Manure 
This is a concentrated, weedless manure that puts 
new life and beauty into lawns. Everybody can get 
good results with this natural fertilizer, because it is 
easy to use and does not burn plants. You can make 
your lawn and garden the envy of the neighborhood 
if you feed your plants with Pulverized Sheep 
Manure. Ask your dealer for prices.
