Due to short fertilizer
supplies and resulting high
prices, homeowners are urg-
ed to use fertilizer wisely
for lawn maintenance.
‘‘With the world food
crisis that has resulted in
part from short fertilizer
supplies, we can all do our
part in conserving scarce
plant nutrients,” contends
Dr. Richard Duble turf
specialist for the Texas Ag-
ricultural Extension Service.
Although less than three-
and-a-half per cent of the
fertilizer consumer in the
United States is used on
law-ns and other landscape
areas, judicious use of plant
nutrients is important.
M hat can the homeowner
do^to conserve fertilizer?
“First of all, a knowledge
of fertilizer requirements
for your lawns is important.
St. Augustine, centipede and
zoysia grasses all require
less nitrogen fertilizer than
does bermudagrass,” points
out Duble. “Bermudagrass
requires three or four ap-
plications of fertilizer per

plete turf cover while the
other grasses only require
spring and fall applications."
Spring and fall fertilizer
applications should be at
the rate of two pounds of
nitrogen per 1,000 square
feet of lawn area. For a fer-
tilizer containing 10 per
cent nitrogen, 20 pounds per
1,000 square feet would be
needed to meet this require-
ment. Duble suggests using
organic or slow-release fer-
tilizers when available as
these are formulated espec- '
ially for lawn use.
For a rapid greening re- I
sponse during the summer
months, a soluble fertilizer
material should be used at
a rate of one pound of ni-
trogen per 1,000 square
feet.

sity System specialist re-
commends fertilizing in the

I port of the Easter Seal So-
ciety for Crippled Chrildren
and Adults and its program
of services to the handicap-
ped was issued today by C.
T. Huddleston who is the
i Easter Seal Representative
in La Salle County.
The Easter Seal Society-
provided treatment and ser-
vices for 20,152 physically
handicapped children and
adults in Texas last year, and
this program needs to be
expanded. Many people are
going without services that
would increase the produc-
tiveness of their lives and
make them happier. Increa-
sed public support of the
Easter Seal Society will ena
ble more and more of these
people to be reached.
The Society is carrying
out a continuing program
to seek out the disabled who
are doing without services
and see that they receive
the help they need. As Eas-
ter Seal Representative, Hud
dleston is the person to con
tact for services from the
