0 12 The Newi-Revlew, Roieburg, Oft. Mod., March 12, 1951 Don't Rush Lawn Making Lest Turf Be Short-Lived With the first few days of warm, sunny weather in early spring there wUl come a mad scramble among owners of new homes along the pa cific coast to plant lawns. More often than not, this means the top soil will be scratched up, dragged and leveled, a thin dress ing of commercial fertilizer spread and grass seed planted immedi ately with a scattering of peat moss over the top as a surface mulch. The usual result of this kind of lawn making is a brilliant green carpet &t fast growing grass. Soon, however, the weed seeds that have lain dormant in the soil germinate and someone has to spend hours on his knees trying to pull the weeds without disturbing the grass. Then, the effects of the mineral fertilizer wears off and the roots begin to starve in the unpre pared soil. The grass turns yellow and begins to thin out. This is be cause the roots are now trying to live on the mortar, sand and per haps dead soil excavated from the basement of the house. A good lawn must be build upon a foundation of good, fertile soil with plenty of organic material mixed in. This organii material must be added to the soil before planting the seed. The soil should be made CASH PAID FOR GOOD USED CARS Keel Motor Co. 443 N. Jackson Dial 3-7422 ready weeks or months before the lawn is planted. The first step is to remove all the debris left by the builders. Exca vated dirt should be carried away. If fill is needed it should be the best top soil you can obtain, not lifeless creek silt which may be infested with nematodes. Next, buy several yards of cow manure which has been composted and rotted and is free of weed seed. Even if weed seed is present, the weeds can be hncd out if the soil is prepared well ahead of planting time. If the -oil is light, a liberal amount of peat moss should be added along with the manure to help retain moisture. Work the manure and peat moss into the top foot of soil. Break up the large clods but do not fine the soil at this stage. t Allow the ground to lie fallow to absorb the rains of the next few weeks. If drouth occurs, keep the soil moist with the hose to germi nate weed seeds in the soil. As weeds appear, turn them under or hoe them out. The month of April Is considered one of the best months to plant lawns along most of the Pacific coast states, and by that time you should have your lawn area prac tically free of weeds which were in the soil and manure. A lawn plant ed in April on well-prepared soil, will look better through the hot days of summer than one planted hurriedly at this time and sub jectcd to th ecold weather an wins of late winter.

The bill, sought by Portlanders who own summer homes at the beach, was opposed by residents of the area who like to use the beach as a roadway. Rep. John Dickson, Portland, fa ther of the bill, said "Cannon beach is wide open and is a Bar- bary coast. Drunken youngsters drive along the beach where youngsters play." Rep. Joseph E. Dyer, Astoria. opposed the bill asserting: thousands of people camp on the beaches and use the beach as an access road. Cannon beach has stiffened fines for reckless drivers."

Jackson St. walks here. . . 01' Paul was a remarkable man. He did big things. Quick-like and thorough. Paul's spirit got restless about 30 years ago. Yearning for a mod ern touch, he stepped out of lumber and into a thing called ply wood. He sat in with us back in 1921 when we pioneered the man ufacture of Douglas fir plywood for commercial purposes. With his seven league boots he strode with us from Washington to Oregon in 1939. ' He helped us with many new de velopments. The system of bark ing, peeling, clipping, offbearing, and grading was improved. Lathe refinements were initiated. Drying facilities were improved. The Skoog patcher, a machine that cuts out defects, inserts and seals the patch in one operation, came in great demand by the entire ply wood industry. Paul aided in laying out and is building our plywood plants, o lumber mill, our logging camp. Then he took over the construc tion crews who built our company warehouses in San Francisco, St. Louis, Dallas. But he got home sick for Oregon and returned to develop our new trademark, and the method by which we put this brand of quality on every plywood panel we produce. Paul still walks here. We just saw him, heading for a meeting of employees and management. Sub ject: how to do things still better.
