If, when the lawn was originally established, the fact was more commonly emphasized in the owner's mind that good turf Is more or less dependent on how well the lawn foundation, the soil, has been built so as to withstand the great subsequent drain of plant food and water by good, close, heavy turf, the lawn problem would be less common.

The fact of the matter is that most of our bad looking lawns we see now are the effects of careless watering during last summer. A lawn will deteriorate from lack of proper moisture supply ln a week's time to a point where many weeks and extra care will be required to bring it back In shape again, and as 90 per cent of the lawns are subject to shortage of water at critical times during the growing season, and as extra care is 'Usually not forthcoming to nurse It back from the bad effects, the deterior- atlng process goes merrily on.
