The workshop consisted of films, a mock trial, a simulation of lobbying and the legislative process, and other activities which can be used in the classroom. Political candi dates, law enforcement of ficers and other resource persons also made presenta tions to the group. The work shop was conducted at the Ramada Inn in Athens, Ga.

Though landscaping of the yard has not been completed, Fall Lawn Care Is Very Important The kids have been home all summer. The area around the porch step has been “home” for the games of hide and seek, but the grass has all left “home.” And in the corner of the yard that nice dirt with lots of clay has been mixed with water many times to make wonderful mushy mud. Now all that is left is some hand prints baked rock hard by the summer sun. It’s time for a lawn fix up and doing it now will give better results than if you put the job off ’til Spring. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has anew factsheet with tips for renovating your lawn or starting anew one. For your free copy of Fall Lawn Care, send a postcard to the Consumer Information Cen ter, Dept. 680, Pueblo, Colorado 81009. If you have lots of weeds, now is the time for weed killer. Apply 2, 4-D to kill broadleaf weeds, and DSMA or MSMA to get rid of crabgrass. They’re available at hardware stores and garden shops. Do this two to three weeks before you plant the new grass. If you haven’t put any lime on your lawn for four to six years, apply 50 to 75 pounds per 1,000 square feet of lawn. At the same time, spread ten to fifteen pounds of fertilizer per thousand square feet now, and again in October. This will help the lawn develop strong roots even though the grass itself has almost stopped growing. When you are ready to plant the seed, loosen-the soil in the bare spots and work some organic material like peat moss into it. Seed perennial grass, such as bluegrass and red fescue, in bare areas and rake it in lightly. Keep the soil moist until the seedlings are well established. This may re quire watering the area a couple of times a day. And while you’re renovat ing, don’t ignore the rest of PRICED toco: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1277 Flovilla City Races Draw Candidates With nearly two weeks left to qualify, interest is mount ing in the Flovilla City Election of October 19th. Two persons have qualified for the unexpired two-year Mayor’s Term and two the lawn. Keep the grass cut, but not too short. Blue grasses should be cut no shorter than one-and-a half inches, and bent grasses no less than three-quarters of an inch. Don’t let the lawn get too long between mowings. Cutting off more than half of the leaf area can do damage. And you should continue to mow the lawn until it stops growing for the winter. Permitting grass to stay long during the winter months may smother the grass, and give insects and lawn diseases a place to hide. If you are starting a lawn from scratch, dig up the w’hole area and add organic material. Spread ground limestone and superphos phate and mix it in. Then grade it so there won’t be any spots where water can collect. A gentle slope away from the house is best. Rake it several times and before the final raking add fertili zer. Spread half the grass seed from east to west and the other half north to south to make sure you cover every spot. Rake lightly, roll lightly and water. Be sure the seedlings stay moist until the lawn is established.
