Prioritize shrubs over lawns as lawns recover slowly, and use available water sources to protect established plantings. Perforated plastic or canvas around shrubs works best, while overhead sprinklers are acceptable but slower to cover.

Cigarette filter claims questioned by lawmaker
Rep John Blatnik of Minnesota told UP that a House subcommittee found filter-tip cigarettes deliver as much tar and nicotine as plain tips. He said smokers pay more for filters and advertisers spent hundreds of millions promoting them while old unfiltered cigarettes offered better tobacco for less money. The hearings wrapped after six days on filters and tobacco cancer, with Blatnik urging health protections and possible neutralizers or reformulated tobacco to cut tar.
