Where your lawn has become worn by walking or children’s play, apply steel-pointed rake to loosen, then pulverize the soil. Then sow Suburban Lawn Grass Seed. In other spots - where lawn is thin or bare, it may indicate that your soil is low in plant food or organic matter (humus) or both. In this case it should be treated as for a new lawn. Just a reminder: Grass seed in its sprouting stage will die if allowed to dry out. So cover it with a quarter of an inch of fine top dressing made of soil and sand. A light rolling will be beneficial at this point. Then water as lightly as necessary (every two or three days if there is no rain) utltil you have a good stand of grass. What Seed to Use? For a highly attractive, durable and weed-resistant turf ... be sure to use SUBURBAN LAWN GRASS SEED on your lawn. All grass seed in this popular brand has been carefully selected and blended into a mixture of the highest possible purity, quality and growing properties. Ask your seed or hardware dealer ... he will tell you of the long and successful record of SUBURBAN LAWN GRASS SEED on hundreds of new and established lawns. 1 Huron Junior Farmers Activities new feature in this year’s com petition will toe rifle shooting. ■Contestants will -compete as teams of four people, either boys or girls, or mixed teams.
