BY LXLLIE L. 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.

P. A. gregoryana; P. glauca coni

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

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
