QU TITIES OF Many factors may

BY GRASS water consumption
of grass: The
faster the plant is growing the more
| Yater it will take in as the more food
material it requires. Consequently
weather conditions such as rain,
humidity, temperature, sunshine and
wind greatly affect the amounts of
water consumed. Some: grasses, like
the fesces, are inherently slower-
growing and have a lower water Te-
quirement than others such as some
of the bent-grasses. Other physical
factors such as depth of roots, height
of cutting and sod density also influ-
ence the water intake.

LAWNS watering lawns is
- frequently abused
to the detriment of alawn. A lawa
should not receive water until it
shows definite signs of needing it ani
then the soil should be thoroughly
moistened to a depth of at least six
inches. Periods between waterings
should be spaced so as to permit-the
sround to dry out to a depth of 1 or
2 inches. This practice discourages

Slopes and terraces require special
attention with respect to watering:
since they dry out very quickly and
the amount of runoff is great. Water
should be applied slowly to such
areas and permitted to soak in thor-
oughly. Signs of wilting in grass ure
Dlufsh color, severe footprinting of
the turf, and loss of the normal

It is often advisable to give the
ground a good watering late in the
fall to-restore soil moisture if the
ground has dried out to prevent win
ter injury through desiccation of
the grass.

Kamloops—is married and has a son nearly
two years old. He has been logging for six
years and has the responsible job of loading
the powerful trucks that transport logs from
woods to dump. Experience and judgment
are vital to his job. Equally important are the
forests from which a perpetual supply of

logs must come. In British Columbia, the forest

resource is important to everyone because,
directly or indirectly, it effects their livelihood
to a great extent.
