If your lawn looked like this last June you can do something about it now. Garden notes Weeding and feeding lawns the road; this way any burning due to mechanical difficulties will not be so obvious from the house. You could use one of the combination lawn food and weed killer preparations. These work very well in my garden, but use those that contain 2,4-D or silvex weed killers and not those recommended for crabgrass. Those are only of use in the spring. These weed n'feed chemicals will not harm pets, burn lawns or drift to other areas since they are granular in form and can be applied evenly and uniformly with your lawn spreader. As soon as the weeds curl up and die, the fertilizer goes to work to stimulate growth of the lawn grasses. A small bag of 25 pounds of 20-10-5 weed n'feed fertilizer will usually weed and feed an area' of 2,500 square feet.

Cameo Liquid Embroidery Co:. has a nation-wide contest underway at Fairs across the On November 4 Sir Donald Alexander Smith, a man whose perseverance was vital to the completion of a promised ribbon of steel linking Canadian confederation, will •be the subject of a commemorative stamp marking the 150th anniversary of his birth in Scotland in 1820. Apprenticed to the Hudson's Bay Company, Smith emigrated in 1838. By the time of the Red River Uprising of 1869.70, Smith was a senior officer of the Company and served as envoy to the Indians and Metis for the Canadian Government during negotiations for the transfer of the - Company's western territories. Always interested in railways, Smith realized the Canadian west needed immigrants to fulfill a great potential. British Columbia had entered Confederation on the promise that a railway would be built and Smith, although not officially a member of the 1880 syndicate formed to build the line, risked his personal fortune to keep the venture afloat. The honour and recognition of his persistence came with an invitation to drive the last spike in 1885, a year before he was knighted by Queen Victoria. He was raised to the peerage as Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal in 1897 while serving as Canadian High Commissioner to Great Britain, a position he held until his death in 1914. The 6-cent Sir Donald Alexander Smith stamp was designed by Miss Dora de Pedery-Hunt of Toronto.

R. BUCKLEY If new clumps of dandelions or unsightly patches of clover or knotweed are starting to infest your plush green grass, it's not too late to start a simple weed attack that will keep your lawn healthy and luxuriant until freeze-up, and through to next spring when seeds from other areas will start •to infest your lawn again. Autumn often brings a new invasion of weeds — dandelion, plantain, chickweed, sheep sorrel, clover, knotweed and other broadleaf species that follow two-cycle growth patterns. Spring-killed weeds die and leave small patches in the lawn. These make excellent seed-beds for the dandelion's floating parachutes. These grow into fair-sized plants by fall and are ready to flower and start a second cycle again next spring. If You• spray now and in early October and kill these weeds, there will be few seeds floating around to grow in the soil exposed by the dying weeds. By next June when the seeds are floating in the air from other gardens and areas, the lawn grasses in your lawn will have had a chance to fill the voids, especially if you follow your weed-killing with a booster feeding. Selectivity — the repression of a weed with no harm to grass — to some extent depends upon the methods and rates of application; so follow the instructions with each product carefully and be', especially careful with weed killers that may volatilize, such as certain esters of 2,4-D and silvex. These should not be used near flower borders and ornamental shrubbery, nor on windy days. This not only applies to spraying with these herbicides, but, also to applications with a weed bar. This can be particularly dangerous when the wind blows the treated grass clippings on to garden plants. If the weather is at all warm during the next two weeks, apply silvex or mecroprop for chickweed on lawns that do not contain large amounts of bent grasses — this would apply to most lawns. Use an application of 2,4-D for the dandelions and plantains that are now in good growth and awaiting the spring. Some selective weed-killing sprays contain both and will knock out dandelion, plantain, clover and the other species quickly and easily. The weeds usually start to twist and curl a few days after treatment and eventually dry up and disappear. Reaction is slower during a cold spell and when the soil is very dry. Herbicides will penetrate weeds and destroy their root systems. If used according to directions, these chemicals are not harmful to pets, children and most healthy turf grasses. Directions should be followed Right now is a good time for feeding lawns. This is the season when the bluegrasses, fescues and bent grasses are at their best, developing underground and thickening above — but without the leaf growth that brings extra mowing. If a lawn is amply fertilized in autumn, spring feeding can probably be skipped, or at least until the surge of growth .that intensifies mowing has passed. The usual recommendations for fertilizer application is to use one and one-half pounds of actual nitrogen per thousand square feet of lawn area. This works out at 10 pounds of say 6.9-6 or 10 pounds of 10.6-4 per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Mark the lawn off into strips and measure your fertilizer according to the square feet of surface in each strip. This ensures an even distribution and will prevent the dark and light growth areas that often follow fertilization. If a mechanical distributor is used, the job is much easier but, be careful to set the machine correctly and test it on soil first, otherwise the fertilizer might run too fast, and even at this time of the year, burning might result.
