iBest Time to Feed Lawns is in the Early Spring

What does early feeding for lawn: fully mean? It means just n! soon ll you can get on ths lawn when vtinlcr is breaking up, ns soon as tr just before the frost has started to come out oi tho ground. The ground may be frozen and have a light covering oi snow. it _ may have thawed once and then t- . i frozen again. Naturally the feeding can't be done when the ground ls too salt or too wct, as during the first day or two oi a thaw. Early feeding should be done before that condition exists. Ii the soil con- dition is right, don't worry about ills calendar. Early feeding gets the plant food right down to the roots ln time to be ready for use at the first signs oi spring growth. Alternate freez- ing anti thawing produces a soil structural condition called “honey combing." The soil is much more porous when lt ls honey combed; consequently. snow and rain will ‘ ilnd their way through the soil much easier and deeper when this condition is present. ‘ Plant food applied during this period is placed right around the grass roots by the melting snow or spring rains. Plant food must be available to the roots themselves and early application gets it there easier than any other way at any other time. '1‘ho grass has not started its top growth during the , best period for early application; therefore, plant food npplicd early: dens not require watering . . . ll “V1113! of time and money.

food is used up by luxuriant top growth instead of root growth. An- other big advantage of early root growth is the mat it builds up against weeds. Most all weeds re- quire the warmer temperatures of late May and June to start active wth, whereas lawn grass has tvCBn growing since late March or Larly April.

The Jews ln England (2)

When Richard returned from captivity 1C. 1194) he enquired into the affairs of the Jews. The justices on their circuits were ordered to probe into any murders of these people. and into what became of their property: all who were in possession oi their effects and had not compounded by a fine. were to be brought to justice. The Jews—-as was the case in oth- er countries -— were formally pro- claimed to be the property of the King. Their property was to be registered under penalty of for- feiture. In order to prevent the destruction oi bonds and obliga- tions (as at York), they were made in duplicate: one copy to be held by the Jew, the other to be de- posited in a chest with three locks. the keys whereof were to be held respectively by a Jewish and a Christian attorney, the third by two public notaries. At every stag) of the proceedings a. fee was to be paid to the Crown.
