Inoculation or nitrogen fixation is crop insurance 
for larger yields of Alfalfa and Clover. Legume-Aid 
contains billions of bacteria living in a base which 
has sufficient moisture to insure good seed environ- 
ment for the preservation of the organisms. Offered 
im dated containers, insuring fresh stock. 
Treat your Seed Oats with Ceresan to control 
Oat smut and increase yields. See page 43. 
Establishing aud WUatutacning a Good Lawn 
Grass seeds may be sown any time during the season, provided facilities are 
available for watering. The best time, however, is spring or fall, when rainfall is 
most likely to be abundant. Many people prefer late summer when weeds are 
less troublesome. 
To insure a thick, even turf a comparatively heavy seeding is necessary. In 
general, with good seed and a carefully prepared seed bed, planting on new lawn 
should be at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre, or 1 pound to every 200 
square feet. On an established lawn which is being renovated in spots, sow at 
the rate of 1 pound to every 500 square feet. Seed should be covered from XK to 
V4 inch by raking very lightly. 
Heavy soils may be lightened by incorporating sand or some form of humus 
as peat moss, one bale to 300 square feet worked into the upper 4 inches of soil. 
Hyper Humus is used on new lawns at the rate of 100 to 300 pounds per 100 square 
feet; on old lawns, 100 to 200 pounds per 100 square feet. These amounts may be 
varied according to the condition of the soil. 
These are the important steps toward lawn renovation: 
1. To destroy unwanted growth, mow the lawn very closely, collecting the clip- 
pings as you mow to prevent reseeding of undesirable plants. 
2. Destroy weeds. These can be controlled by three methods: 
1. By spraying with chemicals; 
2. By development of a thick, strong turf to crowd them out; 
3. By hand-digging. 
. Loosen the soil with an iron hoe or rake. 
. Apply the required amounts of fertilizer and lime. A balanced commercial 
fertilizer of what is called 5-10-5 formula should be worked into the upper 2 or 
3 inches of soil at the rate of 25 to 40 pounds to 1000 square feet. Organic 
fertilizers such as bonemeal, cottonseed meal, sheep manure and cow manure 
have also been used with excellent results. These should be applied at the 
rate of 40 to 50 pounds per 1000 square feet. If lime is needed to correct an 
acid condition, it should be applied on the surface and raked in at the rate of 
35 pounds of hydrated lime or 50 pounds of ground limestone to 1000 square 
feet. 
- Allow a week or more for settling; then rake lightly. 
. Seed the area at the rate recommended above. 
- Roll the planted area lightly or press the surface gently with a wide flat board. 
. Moisten the entire planted area frequently enough to keep the soil surface 
constantly damp until the seed has germinated and a green bloom covers the 
entire lawn. 
- Begin mowing when the grass is 2 to 3 inches high. Very close cutting at long 
intervals frequently will injure the grass by sudden exposure to the sun after 
it has been shaded by the dense growth. The mower should be set to cut a 
height of at least 114 inches and preferably higher during midsummer.
