Care of Lawns.

Now that hot weather has come, remember that lawn grass is now making its most vigorous growth, that under the b/st conditions it roots but a few inches deep and therefore needs an abundance of water; more now is needed than in the hottest weather to supply the new and succulent growth. It <ill pay to watch lawns closely, and not water them until it is needed,. but do it most thoroughly, so that as the water supply lessens the roots will go deeper to find moisture. In this way a resourceful lawn may be made, one that will not dry but in midsummer if left without, watering for a few day*.
