Y. U.R Lawn seed mixtures suitable for perm anent lawns generally aren't what they should be, according to an expert at New York state's agricultural experiment station here. Dr. B. E. Clark, head of the department of seed investiga tions, has some words of warning for those buying lawn seed mix tures. Analyses were made here of 138 samples representing 108 dif ferent brands of lawn-seeding mixtures purchased at random from lots offered for sale by re tail outlets in the state. Dr. Clark noted that most mixtures were labeled accurately, but that very few met recommendations for seed for planting permanent lawns. He pointed out, for instance, that a lawn-seeding mixture for use in a sunny spot with normal moisture supply should contain at least 55 per cent Kentucky bluegrass of either the common or the Merion varieties. The 108 brands analyzed, he said, con tained an average of only 14 per cent Kentucky bluegrass and fewer than five per cent con tained the desired amount. Dr. Clark noted that other "basic" grasses desired in a good lawn mixture include red fes cues, rough bluegrass and colon ial bentgrass. These, along with Kentucky bluegrass, should make up 80 per cent of the mix ture, he said. ' "V M fli f i : " f S5 .V : -is-' The news ie all over town. So are the bright new bottles.

At this distance, says the National Geographic Society, . terrestrial gravity is many times greater than at the distance of the moon. Hence the orbital speed of the satellite will also have to be greater than that of the natural moon. The artificial satellite must travel around the earth at a speed of about five miles a second, faster than the fastest rifle bullet. j Oft9 111 Union Pacific's San&ne PORTLAND ROSE Also direct scrrice to Boise, Salt Lake, Kansas City and St. Louis.
