MADSEN I With April approaching, the: time listed as one ot the two best; suited to planting lawns, the ques tion of what kind of lawn grass to use is uppermost in the minds of many home owners. D. L. Rasmussen, assistant Mar ion county agent, has some of the answers to this question. He states that highland bentgrass, Chewings fescue, and red creeping are rec ommended by farm crops spe cialists for general lawn use In the Wiliamette valley, but that the widely-known Kentucky bluegrass Is not generally adapted to the growing conditions in this area. Rasmussen adds that there is no perfect grass or combinations of grasses for all conditions. Each grass has its advantages and dis advantages which must be con sidered by the "lawn-maker." For example, Chewings is a good shade grass but it is also tough to mow. Highland bentgrass makes an at tractive turf but it also creeps into adjoining flower beds. Whether or not to use grass mix tures is another problem to be considered. Rasmussen personally believes that using grass mix tures will eventually result In "patchy" lawn caused by one grass crowding out the others. In the same lawn there may be patches of several kinds of grasses. Using high grade, Oregon grown seed of one of the recom mended grasses is the best meth od to avoid grass mixtures. Take your choice of a grass mixture or pure strain, he adds, but don't forget to prepare a fer tile, firm seed bed. Even though the weather has been very un favorable for lawn-making, the gardener should not rush sowing until he has prepared a firm seed bed of rich topsoil. Subsoil from house foundations Is not suitable for a good lawn. Either it should be replaced or covered by top soil which can be worked down by tilling, leveling, and raking. followed by fertilizing just before sowing.

Questions and Answers MA-N. Ask how mulch of saw dust can be used on shrub border to keep woods and grass down and then on lawn as a good lawn mulch, where he wants grass to grow. Ans.: He definitely would not use it at the same thickness. The mulch on the shrub border might be from an inch to two thiok, while on the grass, would be Just a very thin layer, one which would not cover the grass but go through it. This will eventually work into the soil and add some humus. It is best used with a well balanced fertilizer, or with one a little heavier in nitrogen. A nit rogen fertilizer is rather beneficial at this time of the year, anyway, to give the grass a good start. V. R. asks for the names of some small narrow-leaved ever greens that will stay small. She doesn't say how small. However, Juniperus communis rompressa. Pica abies pygmaea, P. A. gregoryana; P. glauca coni ea; Taxus Cuspidata densa; Pinus sylvestus watereri; and Cnamae cypasir obusa nana are among the very small-growing ones. C.

Ana.: It is plenty late to set out figs but it can still be dona, par ticularly if he has plenty of water for the summer. They like a clay loam that is comparatively rich. Brown Turkey and Celeste are among the popular varieties for home cowing. C. R. wants to know if there Is some flowering tree which he can plant against a group of three evergreen trees. Says the corner is well lighted, the ground good, but the "too-green look somewhat dreary." Ans.: How I wish I had a spot like that with room to plant a white flowering dogwood. Dog wood never looks better than against a background of ever greens. 429 roggednossfq "" ir' 14 ; JV ' I till Pi color coordinated rfe ?H tt A prWa.rWeJArdeA ''"' M ortfwlly blended J0f ' 6oM.hippoAljS. as;: fern of casual.
