observed that in many caves the principal treatment of the lawn consist of giving it a coating of lime. It is doubtful if lime alone does much g-»..l to a lawn, and in some instances loo heavy applications of this material have been known to cause injury. Lime is not a plant food in itself. It ‘‘sweetens” the soil and to a limited extern makes certain plant food in t he soil available. Of course lime will help white clover, which under some circumstances, is

desirable.

Thr tendency today is not to make white clover the pknt of ' first importance in a lawn, but to encourage the grasses, letting the clover rake care of itself. Lime is of very little benefit to straight leafed grasses and in fact it is harmful to some. Clrass needs organic matter and plant food. The organic matter is furnished by well rotted manure or by a compost made of manure and good top

soil.
