"Spring has sprung. The urns*
Is riz.
I wonder where the tlowers
isVVV?"
Thus this well known sa>luu that
conies up duriiu: the "«prlng fever"

grass was not In vain, for their
goal will -i",i, IM' realized. All the
hy-ftaths and bare places made by
the stamping of hundreds of ulrls
going to classes will SIKMI have a
velvet cover of green — In other
words, the ground has liecn plowed
and grass seed have IM-CII planted.
According to Mr. N, F. Johnson,
assistant su|M'rluIcndcrit of build-ings,
over TUX' bushels of ]H>rninuent
winter grass seed have been plant-ed.
Four or five men are working
dally on this project, which was
Is*gun ahout two w»*eks ago and
will continue for several weeks
more. The green tl|is of the new
grass should apis-ar within 10
days, provided thnt the wi>ather
stays cool and the new Krass Is
not trampled on. Mr. Johnson also
aald that an average of approxi-mately
1.000 pounds of grasa seed
are used on the campus of Wom-an's
college. Graaa seed will be
planted again next falL
