20 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, September 30, 1967 GARDEN GUIDE Early Fall Days Important For Weed Killing, Fertilizer A. R. BUCKLEY Now, when the lawns are probably looking better than at any time since June, it would seem foolish to talk about weed killing and fertilizing; yet these late summer or early fall days are the best time for both of these operations. Remember last June when the grass in your lawn seem- ed to have been replaced by dandelions! Most of these plants came from seeds that were When you fertilize in the fall you do so when the bluegras- ses, fescues and bentgrasses are at their best. They are then developing underground rhi- zomes and thickéning above, but not producing the leaf growth that demands extra mowing. ACTUAL NITORGEN Two to three pounds of ac- tual nitorgen (that is, ten to fifteen pounds of a 20 per cent floating in the air soon after nitrogen fertilizer) is advised the weeds in your lawn had been sprayed. Spring - killed weeds die and leave small patches in the lawn, which make excellent seed beds for the floating, parachuting seeds of the dandelion. These seeds grow into fair-sized plants by fall and are ready to flower and repeat the cycle again next spring. If you spray in Septem- ber and kill the weeds, there will be fewer seeds to grow in the exposed soil. By next June, when the seeds are once more in the air from neighbor- ing areas, the grasses in your lawn will have had a chance to fill the bare spots. Herbicides may be used for the selective control of weeds in lawns. When using herbicides follow the instructions given for each product and be espec- ially alert with weed killers that may volatilize, such as cer- tain esters of 2, 4-D and Sil- for every thousand square feet per year, the nitrogen being ap- plied one or two pounds at a time. For the money, nothing improves the appearance of the lawn more than fertilizer used lawns hold up better, have a at the right time. Fertilized lawns hold up better, have a deeper green color and resist weed invasion much more ef- fectively than unfertilized ones. The usual fertilizer ratio rec- ommended for lawns is 2:1:1. This means that the first num- ber should equal the sum of the other two. For example, 10:6:4 or 12:6:6 are good lawn fertiliezrs. According to the 2:1:1 rate this means using 12 pound of 12:6:6 or 15 pounds of 10:6:4 for every 1000 square feet of lawn. Mark your to the square feet of surface in each strip. This ensures an vex. These should not be used|even distribution and will avoid near ornamental shrubbery nor on windy days. This applies not only to spraying with these her- bicides but also to weed-bar applications, which can be par- ticularly dangerous when the wind blows the treated grass clippings on to plants. re are no hard fast rules for feeding turf, for some soils are richer than others and contain different amounts of nu- trient. To play it safe, use a complete fertilizer (one contain- ing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) twice a year, in the early spring and again in late summer or early fall. In some areas booster fertilization with nitrogen may add color season- dark and light areas, which of- ten follow the feeding of lawns. If a mechanical distributor. is used, the job is much easier, but be careful to set the ma- chine correctly and test it on} soil first, otherwise the fertil- izer might run too fast and at this time of year even burning THE TIMES HOME OF THE WEEK LIBRARY NEWS AND REVIEWS The following book reviews were written by Miss Edna Jamieson, Head ofthe Youth Department, MeL Public Library. liam H.

Show On TV Hour - Long Tops In Popularity Now By CYNTHIA LOWRY NEW YORK (AP)--The hour-long television program now has overtaken and passed the half-hour show in popularity with the men who decide ~h-t the public shall see on th iice U.S. networks. But the viewers, if the popu- larity polls are reasonably accurate, still seem to turn to the shorter programs--particu- larly when they are comedies. This season there are 31 half- hour shows--and 21 of them are made for laughs. There are 43 programs of either one hour's or 90 minutes' duration and comedy crops up only in the assorted variety shows. Time was when the half-hour show was the single most important TV staple. Those were the days of the family sit- uation comedies such as December Bride, Make Room for Daddy and I Love Lucy, all big hits. At that time, the exec- utive theory was that an assort- ment of short programs provid- ed variety for the viewer and kept him glued to one channel. MOVIE SHOWN Now the theory is that the long show holds the viewer. CBS, in fact, has only two offer- ings Thursday nights--90-min- ute Cimarron Strip and a two- hour broadcast of a feature movie, And Thursday night is a time when ABC has six half- hour shows running from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30. Even with CBS tossing some powerful movies into the chan- nel--most recent was The Apartment--and with NBC's of those shorter shows doing nicely. Bewitched, for instance, now is in its fourth season and is as strong as ever. It was, in fact, the No. 4 show in the most recent Nie n st, followed by Marlo Thomas, That Girl which also follows it on the network schedule. In that same list, incidentally 12 of the top 20 pro- grams were half hour shows-- and all comedies except two. Recommended Tonight: Tele- phone hour, NBC, 10-11 p.m. EDT, season premiere with The Many Faces of Romeo and Juliet, variations on the theme in opera, ballet, theatre and symphony, with Jason Robards, Claire Boom and Carol Law- rence. Sunday: 21st Century, CBS, 6-6.30 p.m., first of two pro- grams on The Computer Revo- lution; Holiday on Ice, ABC, 7- 8, with Jonathan Winters as host; Mutiny on the Bounty, ABC, 8-11.30; Broadcast of the 1962 feature film, with Marlon Brando. we ON WAIVERS TORONTO (CP)-- Flanker Jim Greth was placed on waiv- ers Thursday by Toronto Argo- nauts of the Eastern Football Conference.

By ahead of time, they would not then draw the oil out of the new putty (which caused it to crack). Too bad, but you should do the wells to fill up. So naturally| portant step. there's only one place for. the water to go--into the basement. What can we do to keep water out of these wells? ANSWER: To keep out over- head cascades, you can make sloping covers, hinged at the siding, and lowered during rains and thaws. Other times it can be hooked against the wall. For least conspciious appearance, paint the same color as the sid- ing. Or make these covers of thick clear plastic. A curbing, several inches high, will keep out all but flooding rains from pouring into the wells. Adequate drain pipes or tiles under the wells, connected to a dry well, will carry away a great deal of water. REMOVING PAINT DISASTER QUESTION: While painting the trim around my front door, I knocked the entire gallon can, which spilled at least half all over the concrete porch floor. You can imagine how I felt, what I heard and how it looks. I realize that trying to blot this much paint out is impossible. But I must do something! ANSWER: I sympathize! I also highly recommend your subsidizing a man who lays ter- razzi floors. With his floor grinding machine he can not only grind off the paint, but save you untold hours and elbow grease. Whatever he charges, it's worth it! NEW PUTTY WON'T STAY QUESTION: A few. months|ter yet, use a regular portable) interlocking game. DRAIN POOL IN WINTER? QUESTION: I bought our place last spring, and enjoyed the pool all summer, Now what about winter? Should I drain it or leave the water in. The pre- vious owner always left the water in, but I'm still doubtful. ANSWER: The previous own- er is exactly right. Besides, if he's had no trouble, how can you quarrel with success? If you drained, there would be nothing to resist the inward pressure of the surrounding earth, especially when it expands from freezing. That's the cause for many a concrete pool's sides cracking.
