IN WAT Don't Apply Water ‘Every Night or Your Grass - Will Have Shallow Rootage. Soon you will notice practically ev- ery lawn being watered each night. This may be the worst thing possible to do sin many respects. For the grass plant ‘to withstand the summer drouth it should get as deep a root system as is possible. If you water the lawn every night and moisten to only a depth of half or one inch, where will the roots have a tendency to remain? They will stay where the moisture is. This means a shallow root system. Far better is it to water the lawn thoroughly once or twice a week than to water it a little every Gay. If you want to get into the habit of watering the lawn every day, water only one portion eath day and have a systematic method of watering so that each portion will be thoroughl; watered at least once a week. Tt wil require ‘me more water and no more time with far beter results. CORN FOR ENSILAGE. Some Points Which are Due for Weighty Consideration.
