WATER AND WEED CONTROL 
Weeds waste both water and the plant 
food that you put into your garden. Evap- 
oration also wastes water. To get weeds 
out and water into the soil of your garden 
or of your lawn is good economy. Chemical 
weed killers take much drudgery out of 
your weed control, especially in the lawn. 
Weed control in garden areas can be sim- 
plified by chemical weed killing BEFORE 
planting and by maintaining a mulch on the 
surface of the garden. Marginal weeds 
that crowd against plants can be kept out 
by routine hand work. Peat, sawdust, lawn 
cuttings give a good mulch, which can be 
spaded into the ground later. Light raking 
of the ground, after rain or irrigation 
maintains a dust mulch and keeps weeds 
down. 
GROUND WATERING in trenches, or with 
soil soakers gets water into the ground in 
vegetable and flower beds. SPRINKLING is 
the most feasible for effective lawn water- 
ing. Check with a trowel in the ground and 
see that irrigation is deep enough to serve 
plant roots instead of mostly evaporating 
from the surface. This goes for both flower 
beds and lawn areas, although evaporation 
loss from the lawn cannot be wholly avoided. 
Where lawn or other planting is under trees, 
drive holes and give water enough for BOTH 
tree roots and for plants—also fertilize for 
BOTH. Don’t water with sprinkler during 
full sunlight, except on lawn. Moisture on 
foliage in full sun tends to burn. Ground 
watering can be done at any time. 
* * * 
WEEDS grow and reproduce faster, as a 
rule, than garden plants. Control rests to 
a large degree upon getting the weeds 
beaten before they can scatter seeds. 
Mulching, or regular surface cultivation, 
keeps down new seedlings. If possible keep 
lawn weed from maturing seed. If they are 
seeding, mow with a catcher and destroy.
