Home Gardners Should Service Power Equipment Clemson Extension Ornamen tal Horticulturist Landon Mil ler reports that as of July 1, 1966, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has estimated there are 20,400 power lawn mowers and 3,700 garden trac tors and motor tillers in South Carolipa. This is the time of year to make all necessary re pairs to this labor-saving equipment and get it in good shape for plowing the spring garden and keep the lawn look ing good from spring to fall. Dull cutting blades of a mower reduces the efficiency of the machine and tear the grass leaves instead of cutting them. Torn and bruised leaves turn brown quickly giving the lawn a dead, brown cast over the surface in place of a rich, healthy one.
