If your lawn is now relatively free of this weed watch 
for the few plants that appear and pull them out be- 
fore they can reseed. Heavily infested areas are best 
spaded under before August 1 and a new lawn seeded 
in September, If you do not wish to spade the lawn 
the crab grass can be burned off by applying about 
5 pounds per 100 square feet of a fertilizer high in 
nitrogen such as an 8-6-4 mixture. On a bright sunny 
morning sprinkle the grass thoroughly then apply the 
fertilizer. The mixture will dissolve the fertilizer and 
the high concentration of salts that result will burn 
the crab grass severely. Plan to replant in September. 
A new crab grass killer known as PMAS is now avail- 
able and early tests indicate it will kill young crab 
grass plants effectively. It can be secured through your 
local dealer. Follow directions found on the con- 
tainer. If you plan to use it do it when the crab grass 
is still small or before seed heads are produced. 
USE HIGHEST QUALITY LAWN SEED —Your lawn 
can only be as good as the seed you sow. Cheap seed 
often results in failures and disappointments. Good 
soil will make full use of the lime and fertilizer you 
add and respond to superior management treatments 
by producing a velvety, green carpet that will be a 
joy to the entire family.
