PROBLEM OF
ANNUAL ONE
The lawn mower Ik. an nnmitil
jirohlenu If . the home owner po-;
Lijo-eK .one, hu pruhlein is to jret
it sharpeneil and in uhaie for use.
If the mower I worn out or Jf' he
doonn't hnppen to own1' one. the
problem i, to select a new one.!
This is now complicated by the!
fact that fact -that we must decide
whether to have a hand power or
motor power mower.
The motored mowers offer fcreut,
tmptatloit in the way. of labor sav-j
ln;r. I he original ost Is a decid--inK
factor. The element of timet
unci availnhle luhor are important
factors. A motor mower does the
job more quickly. In small places
it Is a luxury, pure and simple, a
hand mower being sufficiently ef
ficient to do' the work. Hut in I
p luces, of Jai'Ker extent where the
lawn requires mowing regularly the.
saving in time and work makes a
powered mower a real economy.
Ujiwn expert s have figured that'
the.; dividing line between economy,
and Mutfury is a- lawn space of
about 800 sqti.-ire yards, lleluw this'
extent, a powered mower Is hnrdly
urcessary. Above It, the time and
bibor saved ivitl make the motor
mower morerand more appreciated.
Tlie main' thing in mowing the
lawn Is to have the blades sharp.
See-'to 11 that the. mower Is sharp
ened. J tt 11 blades cut unevenly and i
often pull lul ls of grass out by
the roots. Tills is particularly true
newly planted law.ns .where .the!

New gi;ass must he hamtled care
fully in the early mowings. The
mower tiinst he thoroughly nharp
to cut without pulling. English ex
pertn traditionally, out young ttiwns
with a scythe instead of with a
mower to avoid pulling It out. New
Kurdcuers aro acftompllKheil in the
wleldlngt-of a scythe and there
seems no real need for such an
accomplishment.' I
It is an excellent Idea to send the
mower to a machine whop In the
sluing for a thorough sharpening
imd overhauling. This is advisable
unless the owner has u mechanical
bent nnd knows'lie is thoroughly,
competent to sharpen and put the'
mower In condition. '
Any patches where' seed did not i
("atch well In the early sowing
sprinkling of festilizer. The lawns j
Lshould ho.thorough raked with a j1
Ahurn pointed gardeii" rake in the
first clearing off. This is in the
fiho soil so fertilizer will t:ike ef
fect nuickly.
