Ist .. Prepare Your Soil 
Loosen soil to depth of four inches. 
If soil is poor pulverize and mix in 
dehydrated cow manure at rate of 
200 Ibs. to 1000 square feet. On 
good soil commercial fertilizer ap- 
plied at the rate of 25 to 50 Ibs. per 
1000 square feet will supply suffi- 
cient plant food. Have soil tested and 
if strongly acid apply hydrated lime 
at the rate of approximately 50° Tbs. 
per 1000 square feet. 
On established lawns follow same 
procedure in applying a commercial 
fertilizer at least twice a year—spring and fall. Lime 
need be applied only about once every three years 
unless local conditions tend to create soil acidity. 
2nd ..Use Good Quality Seed 
Purchase seed of good quality con- 
taining grasses such as Kentucky 
Bluegrass, Bentgrass, Chewings Fes- 
cue, Redtop, and Ryegrass. The first 
three grasses build your turf; the 
other two act us nurse grasses pro- 
tecting the turf building grasses 
during their early stages of growth. 
Rate of seeding depends on the 
mixture used. If the mixture is 
heavy with Turf building grasses of 
the highest quality it will be sufhi- 
cient to sow at the rate of 7 Ibs. 
per 1000 square feet. Using a mixture of average 
quality the best results will be obtained by sowing at 
the rate of 10 Ibs. per 1000 square feet. 
On old lawns apply as needed according to condition 
of lawn. Roll and sprinkle lawn after seed has been 
applied. in
