Lawn Fertilizing 
Most fertilizers 
We have at last as near a perfect fertilizer as I have ever seen. 
It is just a

medium to mix with the nutrients and adds only bulk. 
The fertilizer we are going to use for lawns this spring has no filler. It is 100 
percent fertilizer, and contains nutrients not found in many fertilizers, but very import- 
ant to the plant. It is a 5-10-5 highly organic fertilizer containing, according to manu- 
facturer, the following for each 100 lbs. of fertilizer: 
10 lbs. sulfate of ammonia 
10 lbs. dried blood 
10 lbs. sun dried fish 
10 lbs. tankage 
5 lbs. raw bone 
4 lbs. triple superphosphate 
39 lbs. 20% superphosphate 
84 lbs. 60% muriate of potash 
i lbs. bcron and magnesium 
100 lbs. Total 
This fertilizer is also, in my estimation, the best there is for the garden and fcr

Summer Feeding 
If you wish to do everything possible for the lawn, it should get a light feeding in 
June and another in August or September. 
Weeds 
Nearly all the weeds in a lawn except crab grass can be killed by spraying with 2-4D. 
Scutl does kill crab grass but new young plants keep coming up, so it is necessary to keep 
putting on applications of Scutl every two or three weeks. 
Japanese Beetle Grubs 
Japanese Beetle Grubs eat grass roots in the spring tefore they emerge from the ground 
as beetles, and again in the late summer and fall when the eggs laid by the beetles hatch 
Treating the lawn with any one of a number of certain insecticides will kill these 
out. 
If a lawn hasn't been sprayed in 3 to 5 
beetles. One treatment will last 3 to 5 years. 
years, it would be good insurance to have it done. 
Four Way Spray 
The following economical spray will feed, weed and kill bugs in the lawn all at one 
time. It should be applied in June as by that time the fertilizer applied in early spring 
has been depleted. Ina spray tank mix a highly concentrated fertilizer to feed the lawn, 
sodium arsenite to kill crab grass, 2-4D to kill other weeds and chlordane to kill Japa- 
nese beetle grubs, thrip, ants and other insect pests.
