WEED CONTROL 
There is no sure method of weed control except 
to dig them out. The best preventive against weeds 
is to secure soil as free from weed seeds as pos- 
sible, and then to keep the lawn healthy by giving 
it enough food and moisture. The common weed 
pests are not contained in the lawn seed. Avoid 
lime as this encourages weeds. A word can be said 
about one weed particularly troublesome the past 
few years, Crab Grass. Crab Grass is an annual 
and does not germinate until June Ist. The remedy 
is to use a good fertilizer early in April so that the 
grass will be thick and well-established before the 
Crab Grass gets a chance to germinate; in this 
way the Crab Grass is choked by the lawn.

To Add Humus to Your Lawn 
Peat Moss is one of the best materials we know 
of to add necessary humus to your lawn. It is 
clean, odorless and has great water absorbing and 
retaining power. It is absolutely free from weeds 
and for this reason is much preferable to manure. 
Peat Moss makes heavy land more friable and 
sandy soil hold moisture better. Dig it in the top 
4 inches for new lawns. On established lawns— 
a light dressing applied in the late Fall and again 
in the Spring is very beneficial. A bushel contains 
enough to cover 15 square feet of surface 1 inch 
deep. Peat Moss can be used for the new lawn; 
for the established lawn; for rose and flower beds; 
for other garden uses; as a Winter mulch.
