. » tome praeticea that will help hold it fn check. Avoid seeding lawns in late spring. Late spring seedings do not establish grasses in time to compete with crabgrass growth. Fertilize adequately. A bluegrass lawn needs two "square meals’’ each year, one in early spring and one in September. Ten to 20 pounds of 10-8-6, 12-12-12, 640-4, or similar fertiliser per 1000 square feet of lawn area is recom-

mended- Water properly. Light sprinkling so at to wet only the surface aids crabgrass more than the turf grasses. When watering the lawn, apply sufficient water to wet the soil to a depth of 4-6 in. Cut the grass high. Close cutting will reduce competition and encourage the growth of crabgrass. Don’t mow closer than 1H inches. Dig or put out plants. If crabgrass plants are not numerous this will aid in preventing further Infestation. Pull them out in May or June when plants are yet slwl. Use chemicals. Chemical treafffltagts are most effective when applied before or just at the time crabgrass seedlings emerge. At this time it is possible to apply amounts sufficient to ill the tender crabgrass seedings, without serious injury to turf grasses. Use chemicals according to directions on the container. , Renovate and reseed thin spots Crabgrass matures early in the fall, leaving the lawn an objectionable brown color, At that time the lawn mower should be set to cut as low as possible. Cut, rake with a flexible lawn broom, and cut again In the opposite direction. Fertilize and seed thin Spots, and water to wash the fertilizer into the soil. Following these few suggestions should make it possible for you to eliminate crabgrass as an important weed in your lawn. .. - Two Michigan Men Await Peru Trial PERU. Ind.

Indiana Democrats In Session Today Party Leaders Meet In State's Capital INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Indiana. Democrats met today in an Effort to accomplish something they were unable to maneuver ddring the 89th general assembly. Tha minority party emerged from the legislative halls minus any burning political issue with which they could bat the Republicans over the head. Toll roads was the best prospect, but never fully crystallized as an issue since the GOP already was using it. faction wise. i Charles E. Skillen, of Windmjic, state Democratic chairman, jvas hopeful today’s session of the party’s central committee and Democratic legislators would solidify a good hefty issue that can be used in the coming municipal elections this fall and in the 1956 gubernatorial and senatorial campaigns. . However, the meeting today came amid nibbling little signs that the Democrats may not be as badly in need of a popular issue as it first appeared. If the leader’s mantle were dropped in. tl|e GOP camp, the resulting scramble might give the Democrats an itgide track. And Paul Butler, Indiana’s ! gift to the na tional Democratic ‘chairmanship, had a couple staunch Eisenhower supporters lending weight to JHs attacked opinion that the President might retire from politics at the end of his present term. On the tail of a caution by Sen Margaret Chase Smith (D Maine), to GOP women that some thought be given to the possibility of another presidential nominee than Ike, came a statement by another early Ike backer. Roy Roberts, Kansas City Star editor, wondered out loud it the idea that Eisenhower would accept a second nomination were not wish ful thinking on the part of the GOP rather than a realistic evaluation. today's session of the Democratic state committee was called specifically to make plans for the coming state campaign including a concentration on specific issues. " * Skillen wasn’t sure what the chief issue might be. "ToH roads? Toll roads, all roads, are an issue. Indiana has the least control over its toll roads of any state. The against toil roads, but xhey want controls over them.” Skillen also opined that juvenile delinquency was an issue the people must face, and why shouldn’t political organizations get in and try to block the path to crime? Mental health and other items were discussed, but none appeared to have the needed zip at the moment. While issues may have been the fancy, subject, the plain subject of .llseußsion’ wq» that of personal!-
