CARE OF YOUR LAWN 
Mow twice a week, setting your machine 
so that it cuts the grass moderately long, 
especially during July and August. Do not 
remove clippings; if they are unsightly it 
shows that you do not cut often enough. 
Water an established lawn only when 
it is needed, but give plenty during dry spells 
in July and August. Use an approved 
sprinkler and soak every three days. On 
established lawns watering is usually un- 
necessary in spring and fall. 
Weeding. All soils contain seeds of 
weeds and many of them start to grow along 
with the grass; these ordinarily, are not re- 
moved from a new lawn at first, because 
mowing will kill most.
