Show 1 DIGGIN'S FROM DAVE'S CAVE The Treasury Department now offers Series E Savings Bonds in ia new punch card form, which will cut costs of printing, handl-" ing and servicing. The new bonds are slightly smaller and are thicker, thick-er, otherwise unchanged. J Have you seen the beautiful cottars co-ttars showing up in our foothills? J Proof positive that it is time we jare about our preparations for) winter. If you haven't yet, now is the time to give your lawn a feeding to put it in shape for the snows which are to come. About two pounds of actual nitrogen ni-trogen should be spread on every thousand square feet of lawn area. If you use a commercial fertilizer, fertili-zer, check the chemical analysis. It will show the percentage of N-Nitrogen, P-Phospherous and K-Potash K-Potash in that order. A 6-10-4 analysis would require the use of 33 pounds per 1000 square foot. A high analysis 20-40-10 would only require ten pounds 1000 per square ft. On the other hand, cow manure with an analysis of about 0.6-0.15 0.45 would require 333 lbs. per 1000 square feet. Manure will furnish organic matter and a few other advantages if yo can put up with the smell, the mess, the weed seeds and the extra work. But whatever you use, spread the fertilizer evenly, work it in, and water it well. And by all means, keep your mower sharp! |
