Kendrick To Be
In Publication
Gary Gene Kendrick,
1008 College St., ad-
mistrator at El Campo
Memorial Hospital, has
been selected for in-
clusion in the 1982 edition
of Outstanding Young
Men of America.
These men were
selected from
nominations received
from senators,
congressmen, governors,
mayors, state legislators,
university and college
presidents and deans as
well as various civic
groups, including the
U S. Jaycees which also
endorses the Outstanding
Young Men of America
program.
In every community
there are young men
working diligently to
make their cities, as well
as their country, better
places in which to live,
said the board of ad-
visors.
These men, having
distinguished themselves
in one or more fields of
endeavor, are out-
Lawn Fertilization
Good For Greenness
If you haven’t fertilized and root growth,” notes
your lawn lately, it’s not Duble. “Potassium is
too late to do so, says a also important to winter
turfgrass specialist. In survival, disease
fact, fall fertilization can resistance and drought
boost a lawn while tolerance Phosphorous
minimizing energy is essential but is
requests for mowing and
removal of grass clip-
pings.
“A fall application of
fertilizer not only
prolongs green color in
lawns but also stimulates
root growth, reduces
winter injury and
promotes early spring
recovery," points out Dr.
Richard L Duble with
the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, Texas
AAM University System.
“Fall fertilization also
increases turf density
and reduces weeds. ’ ’
Warm fall days and
cool nights provide
conditions favorable for
grass to accumulate
carbohydrates that
promote root growth and
help winter survival,
says Duble. And, since
leaf growth is also less
during the shorter fall
days, delaying lawn
fertilization until mid-
September or October
helps reduce mowing
requirements and energy
use.
The specialist
recommends applying a
fertilizer high in nitrogen
and potassium and low in
phosphorus.
“Both nitrogen and
potassium are important
to leaf growth and color
required in much lesser
amounts than the other
nutrients.”
He suggests a fertilizer
with a 15-5-10, 12-4-8 or
similar analysis for the
fall application
Base the rate of ap-
plication on the nitrogen
content, the first number
in the fertilizer analysis,
says the specialist Apply
1 to 2 pounds of nitrogen
per 1,000 square feet of
lawn. So, with a 12-4-8
fertilizer, use 10 to 15
pounds per 1,000 square
feet, depending on when
the last fertilizer applica-
tion was made. If the
lawn has not been fertiliz-
ed for the past eight
weeks or longer, use the
higher rate.
“Lawns can be fer-
tilized through October in
most areas of the state,”
points out Duble. “In
South Texas lawns can
still be fertilized in
November without ad-
verse effects.
“For the homeowner
interested in an at-
tractive lawn this fall and
early recovery next
spring, fail fertilization is
a must, emphasizes
Duble.

burglaries in Victoria, homeowners are beginn-
