Homemaking— | ne | Early Feeding of the Lawn Helps Grass to Choke Weeds
IF YOU WERE ASKED to name your major lawn problem, what would you reply? Right the first time! . . critters that seem to spring from nowhere. j Gardeners used to think that nothing but laborious digging would eradicate weeds from the lawn. But it is known now that early feeding of
the lawn with a complete balanced cating weeds. Of course [this early feeding doesn’t directly kill the weeds. But it does do this: Through supplying completely balanced, readily available nourishment to the grass roots, ‘it enables the grass to make such a dense, early, vigorous growth that weeds are choked out. Grass makes its best growth in early spring, when the weather is cool and there is plenty of moisture in the soil. Weeds do not start into growth until later, when the soil has become thoroughly warm, and . higher temperatures prevail. Therefore to combat weeds, give your iawn an early feeding this year, making application in late February or early March, before the grass shows any signs of active top growth. Apply four pounds of plant food per 100 square feet of lawn area.- Application may be made either with a plant food spreader, or by hand. - Not only is this early application beneficial from the standpoint of combating weeds but it is less laborious for the gardener, because when plant food is applied to lawns before any top growth is made, it is unnecessary to water the plant food in. Late snows‘ and early spring rains take care of this part of the Job and carry the plant food down to the roots where it is ready to be utilized just as promptly as the grass starts growth. Try an early application of mi food to the lawn this year. u will be pleased with the results secured.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a brunette in my early thérties. All my life I have been unlucky in work, love and life in general, I can’t remember ever being happy in my life. I am a melancholy type, so awfully blue, so depressed. They say that life is what you make it but I disagree. People can make you awfully unhappy. I can’t smile any more only through tears. Everything I ever tried to do I have been unlucky in. I think I hold the ace of spades. Don’t tell me that people are not doomed for unluckiness. Perhaps you will tell me to find things that interest me. That can’t be done. Life’s just the same over and over. I see nothing worth while. I dread to wake up to another day. Other women are so happy. Some are lucky in everything. I was married once and thought I would have a little home and someone to care, but I never had that little home and we have been divorced for years. I have gone with nice, well-educated men but I can honestly say no one has fallen in love with me. Men have told me I am too serious. What’s wrong with me? I'm no beauty but I am attractive and have a nice personality. I am more afraid of life than I am of death. I would like to go to sleep forever. I'm not dumb, I am intelligent. Please advise me but don’t scold me, [ couldn’t take it. ~ BLUE-ITIS.
» ” ”» Answer—While I do not doubt that you have had some: very adverse circumstances to meet, it is not: the circumstances but your method of dealing with them that has brought defeat. From the general tone of your letter I would judge that your tendency is to quit ‘when confronted with hardship. You're thoroughly discouraged and won't put up sufficient battle to win. The ‘first step in your improvement, if you want to improve, is tq stop placing the blame on external circumstances and accept the responsibility for what you do with your life. . A melancholy person is an angry ‘person. An angry person is a hostile person. Perhaps you have every reason to be hostile, but why -take it out on yourself? Kick whatever made you mad but don’t crawl in a hole and kick yourself. You say you are unlucky in everything you undertake. Whenever we find ourselves repeating a pattern, failing at whatever we do over ‘and over again, we mus: suspect ourselves of inviting such experiences. I do not mean that we actually plan our: misfortunes, but simply that we are lacking in self-protectién. We “stick our necks out” so to speak and then collapse in despair because someone takes a crack at it. Make up your mind that there are worthwhile things in life, available to you as well as to others, and you can fo a satisfactory
place for yourself if you have more courage, \You aren't being scolded. Take heart. JANE JORDAN.
