And Worth It - Giving Old Lawn New Life Is Easy Renovation of a lawn with-out cultivation saves labor, but the outcome is usually less assured than if the soil is tilled. Ideally, old vegetation should be knocked out first, but farm chemicals such as cellent for the compost pile or for shrub mulching. Then it's merely a matter of marrying good seed to soil. A high quality seed mixture will contain millions of seeds to the pound, which, if spread a couple of pounds are used for no-til- l corn (which leave no toxic resi-dues in the soil; are seldom available at garden centers. Even if chemical knockdown is not feasible, mowing the old vegetation to mere stubble does set it back for awhile, giving new seed-lings a bit of opportunity. Before spreading seed, scarify the surface enough to expose mineral soil. Ener-getic hand raking may work for small lawns, but g machines ("power rake", or some such name) save a lot of sweat with larger lawns. The machines slice shallow-l- y into the soil, kicking up a lot of duff in the process, ex-- per thousand square feet, should provide candidates enough for colonizing all the scratches that scarification made. Sometimes a final raking, dragging, or another pass with the scarifier may be needed to work the seed well into the soil. Water just as you would a new seeding on cultivated ground. Seed of good qual-ity sprouts quickly, espec-ially if modern turf-typ- e per-ennial are con-tained. At least some new pedigreed grass plants should become established before the old vegetation re-covers and, in time, spread to upgrade the lawn signifi-cantly. Hotline May Still Be in Operation if You Want to Save Energy A hotline has gone into operation at the utah Engineering Experiment Station to answer questions inspired by the statewide distribution of a home energy conservation booklet. The e booklet is being mailed to more than 200,000 Utah home owners to encourage them to make energy conservation im-provements. Specially trained Univer-sity of Utah students will man the hotline from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, for approximately two months. Jerry Zenger, assistant director of the campus-base- d Experiment Station, said the trained personnel will assist the public with any questions they might have about implementing the booklet's recommendations or energy conservation in general. Residents of the Salt Lake area may receive assistance by dialing 581-542- Those living outside the Salt Lake valley can call without charge. The state of Utah began distribution of the Home Energy Savers' Workbook on Feb. 1 and expects to com-plete the mailings by about Mr. Zenger said the hotline personnel also will poll the callers on their attitudes toward energy conservation and what steps they have taken or plan to reduce home energy consumption. He said from three to six students who were trained by Dr. Arthur Jones, the State Building Board's energy coordination officer, will man the hotline. The project is funded by the Federal Energy Ad-ministration and is being im-plemented by State Energy Coordinator Clifford Collings with the assistance of the Engineering Experiment Station. Decorating with A Difference . . . Here's a decorating suggestion that's sure to draw admiring comments from family and friends: when redoing that kitchen or dining area, put your print wallpaper on the ceiling instead of the walls, then echo the print with matching curtains. School and 1 Homo by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty Executive Secretary Utah Education Association by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty You might feel a bit upset when you hear a doctor describing something on your hand as being a "circum-scribed protuberance of the corium." Relax. It's probably just a wart. You might also feel a slight rise in your blood pressure when your mechanic ex-presses a fear that the worm gear, thermostat or camshaft in your car is on the fritz. Your lawyer, TV repair specialist, florist or barber may also use words that mystify you. Virtually every profession and vocation has its own specialized language. Yes, even educators. These languages are readily under-stood when used in conver-sations between persons in the same line of work. However, the words or phrases can be a pain. For example, follow this sentence closely: "Our school's cross-grade-multi- ethni- individualized learning program with em-phasis on a continum of multi-ethni- academically enriched learning using the identified intellectually gifted child as the agent or director of his own learning." You have just read the "worst education sentence of 1976," as determined by the Educational Press Association of America. That sentence was in a let-ter from a school principal to a parent. If you found yourself coun-ting to ten after you read the worst sentence in education last year, stop for a moment and think about how your children react to the dinner table conversation of parents. They're sophisticated. Parents use exotic words, and they make kids curious. Maybe children get just as resentful as you would if you'd gotten that letter from the principal. But don't change your speech pattern to the dialogue you'd expect to find in a second grade reader. Just answer cheerfully and ac-curately when your child asks you to explain what you meant when you said "con-tinuum." t c$$ ys v a, n sss , ;?
