| Making a Lawn and Its Care 
- Preparing the Soil 
The most desirable soils for the lawn are the loams, If the 
soil available for the building of the lawn is a tight clay ora 
sandy soil, it should be made as nearly like a loam as possible. 
Even such simple tasks as spading are important and should 
be done with care. The depth of the surface soil largely de- 
termines the depth to which one should spade. If the top soil 
is six inches or less in thickness, work it to the depth of the 
surface soil. Do not turn up the subsoil. 
To get the best results from spading, each shovelful of soil 
is turned over and placed upon the edge of the hole away from 
the spader. It is then pulverized with a tap of the spade. 
This not only breaks up the mass but carries the granulated 
soil back into the hole from which it was originally taken. 
After the spaded soil has been well pulverized, grade the 
soil to slope gently from the house. The grading will prevent 
water from standing around the foundation of the house, 
Next, level and roll until the seed bed is firm. 
Applying Plant Food 
When the seed bed is completed, plant food should be ap- 
plied. The lawn is never so effectively fed as just before the 
grass seed is sown. The plant food should be spread evenly 
over the surface of the soil at the rate of four pounds per 
hundred square feet, and worked into the top few inches. 
Sowing Seed 
After the plant food has been worked into the soil, the seed 
should be spread uniformly over the surface at the rate of 
four to five pounds per one thousand square feet of soil. 
A cover of clean straw or coarse cheesecloth on the steep 
slopes will help to prevent washing whieh may occnr before 
the grass becomes established.
