The Lawn 
In developing the home grounds there 
is nothing else quite as important as the 
lawn. The foundation for a permanent 
lawn consists of at least four inches of 
rich black soil over a subsoil of good 
well-drained clay or sandy loam. Then 
use a well balanced mixture of grass seed, 
made up of the proper proportions of the 
various species of grass. Sow seed at rate 
of one pound to 250 square feet of lawn. 
Nearly every case of a poor stand of 
lawn grass is due to the lawn not getting 
regular and thorough waterings from the 
time the seed is sown until the lawn is 
well started. The newly sown lawn should 
be wet to a depth of two or three inches 
every day. It is possible to keep it too 
wet which would cause injury to the young 
grass by damping off diseases. 
The best preventative of a weedy lawn 
is keeping the grass growing so thriftily 
that the weeds cannot gain a foothold. 
This can be done by proper fertilizing 
and watering. 
A lawn should have an application of 
some good complete fertilizer early in 
the spring, preferably before growth 
starts, and again early in the fall. Begin 
mowing the lawn when it is about two or 
three inches high, never mowing it closer 
than \ l /4 inches.
