v™make an ideal background and a Going to Pl ee * Ge * ee * By C. B. WALDRON {North Dakota Agricultural College) ‘Whatever the reasons may have ‘been many of the lawns that we have observed are in rather poor condition this spring and will need some nurs- ing to get them into good condition for the season. Dandelions are pret- ty sure to take possession of a lawn having a thin growth of grass and if for no other reason than this it is im- portant to maintain a heavy turf. Bare patches of course will need to be forked up toa depth of 2 or 3 inches and reseeded, but a scant growth can be improved by fertilizing with sulfate of ammonia, using pounds to the square rod. A light coat of very finely rotted manure raked into the grass is an added benefit as it protects the grass roots and helps to hold moisture. ‘Where the grass is very thin grass seed may be raked in before this is applied. In this case frequent water- ing is necessary to insure germination and of course no commercial fertiliz- er has any effect unless it is washed down to the grass roots. Those having to start a new lawn} should now seed as soon as possible, first making the soil fine and firm by what might seem to be an unreason-| able amount of raking. After the} seed has been sown and raked in, the| ground should be made firm with a} hand roller or by tamping it down, with an implement made by spiking a! piece of plank 1 foot square to the| end of a 4x4 that has a handle put through the other end at a conven-! ient height. A final thin coating of very fine manure will help germina- tion. Hl With clean sced of high germina- tion one pound to the square rod is generous seeding. Whatever kind you sow you will have only blue grass at the end of two or three years so it is just as well to begin with that. Fre- quent watering is necessary until the grass gets a good start. For estab- lished lawns thoro soaking at inter- vals of from one to two weeks is bet- | ter. At this time of the year it is inter- esting to prowl around a hardware or implement store, to see the various contrivances that ingenious manu- facturers have devised to make gard- ening easier, not to say fascinating. A true gardener takes as much pride and interest in the tools of his craft as the golfer does in his favorite sticks or the fisherman his pet rod and reel. To See an up-to-the minute wheel hoe with all of its clever attachments is a real temptation to learn how it works; while the various intriguing hand tools that have supplanted the clumsy hoe we recall with a certain tired feeling, have an almost artistic appeal. They do the work too, be- lieve me, with hardly a backache or blister. | We still may have an attractive; flower border though we did not get our plants started in boxes and do not feel able to buy them by the dozen. Sweet peas grown on poultry netting great variety of annuals that bloom when seeded out in the open can be Seeded now as many of them will en- dure frost. Nastursiums, bachelor buttons, candytuft, portulaca, lark- spur, four-o'clocks, mignonette and several others may be seeded outside with good results. The soil should be fine and firm and the seed shouTd be covered to a depth of % inch and/| sprinkled frequently. Thinning and transplanting after the plants are well started will be necessary to get) Good results. i Raids on nests of other ants are made by slave-maker ants.

Recently, Rose narowly escaped death in a stunt that seemed abso- ; lutely fool- and risk-proof. He was to dive 90 feet into water from a pole which was surrounded by burning brush and situated on a cliff. The Pole was to be pulled out over the water by a heavy wire, and the jump timed with this movement. Before attempting the feat, Rose took every precaution. “However, the wire broke. I tried rocking the pole to make it fall to- ward the ocean, but it swung in the opposite direction. My alternatives were to leap from the pole into the water, trusting to luck that I would clear the 15 feet between the pole and the edge of the cliff; or to topple into the burning brush surrounding the; le. “The cliff jutted at an angle nal the ocean, and the waves had eaten a Jagged crevice into the rock. With each incoming wave the crevice was filled with water to a considerable depath. “I jumped. My fall was cushioned by incoming water. and I escaped with ‘42nd Street’? Music By Ace Song Writers Two of Broadway's ace song writers were inmported from New York to do the songs and lyrics for “42nd Street,” Warner Bros.’ mammoth show dealing with the back-stage life of the the- atre, which comes to the Paramount Theatre tomorrow, They are Al Dubin, who writes ly- rics, and Harry Warren, who composes the music. Dubin has been writing his lyrics for fifteen years. Warren his songs for twelve. Both believe their songs for “42nd Street” the best they've yet done and both appear in the picture a8 song writers. Dubin wrote the lyrics for the songs in “The Gold Diggers of Broadway,” for “Hold Everything,” for “Sally,” for “The Crooner” and for “Blessed Event.” Two of his songs from “Blessed Event” are “Tco Many Tears” and “How Can You Say No.” Harry Warren's songs are just as well known as Dubin’s lyrics. He wrote all of the music for “The Laugh Parade,” Ed Wynn’s latest hit, includ- ing the povular “You're My Every- thing.” He wrote the music for “Crazy Quilt,” which includes the lyrical “Million Dollar Baby in a Ten Cent Store.” There is an all-star cast which in- cludes Warner Baxter, Bebe Daniels, George Brent.
