TWO LEVERS LIFT

BULLDOG CUTTING UNITS

OFF THE GROUND!

By merely pulling two levers, the operator can raise all five Bull-dog Cutting Units clear off the ground—for passing over roadways, rough, etc. Moreover the Ideal Bulldog can be backed up. This cannot be done by any other mower. Operators who have had to maneuver clumsy high-wheeled mowers in tight places, can appreciate the desirability of a mower that can back up.

But that is only one of the five reasons, why the low-wheeled, close-coupled, simply-built Bulldog can out-perform any other fairway mower—at a lower cost per season. Write today for the interesting facts.

of ammonia. What else shall we put on this cockeyed grass?"

Consequently, inasmuch as it i s nearly 5 o'clock and knocking-off t ime and all the members of the committee know that they'll catch hell from their wives if they are late for supper, they all vote for the good old hackneyed standbys such as bone-meal, nitrate of soda, etc., etc., and call it a day.

Suggests Experiments It seems rather foolish to treat a plot

with nitrate of soda alone in comparison with plots receiving sulphate of ammonia alone or plots receiving a complete fer-tilizer. Why not run a plot treated with nitrate of soda, phosphates and potash in comparison with the complete fertilizer (12-6-4), the nitrogen of which is derived from sulphate of ammonia?

The bone-meal plot is s imply a platitu-dinous gesture to the wind. Anybody that ever walked on turf knows that it is as slow as cold molasses.

The plot treated with Urea alone is an-other washout because Urea is very slow acting in early spring whereas it is valua-ble for applying to warm soil.

The activated sludge plot ( fancy name for Milorganite) is another unfair test and comparison. The Milorganite people in both their trade literature and from the platform have repeatedly stressed the fact that for the best results on new seedings their product should be supplemented with phosphates and in certain sect ions of New England with potash as well. In view of this fact why give the product a black eye to the uninitiated by unfair ly testing it alone in comparison with a complete fertilizer?

Lack of space alone prevents me from ripping into the series of fa irway fertil izer experiments described in this same article. They are even more susceptible to criti-cism.

Arsenate of Lead Experiments On page 219 of this article we find the

fol lowing: "In each of the demonstration gardens

one putt ing green plot and one fairway plot (each 10 ft. by 10 f t . ) was treated with arsenate of lead before sowing the seed. The poison was used at the rate of 5 pounds to a 1,000 square feet. Some in-teresting observations were made on the effect of arsenate of lead on earthworms. The poison used on all the gardens came from the same package and was applied at

the same rates and in the same manner just before sowing the seed. In spite of this standard application of chemical there 4 was apparently a difference in control of earthworms. On several gardens the num-ber of earthworms on the poisoned plots was much smaller than in the check plots, but on other gardens the worms were equally numerous in both. This difference is probably due to a difference in soil, as has been indicated in previous tests. How- t ever, observations must be continued sev-eral more years before the full value of arsenate of lead as a control for earth-worms is determined."

I have sat back, gritted my teeth and stomached this sort of information regard-ing lead arsenate and earthworm control for the past several years but I consider , it is about time that the Green Section staff had a few pertinent points anent this chem-ical publicly drawn to their attention so that they may either test its merits in a scientific and fair way or else let it alone.

When to Apply In the first place I have repeatedly

stated that there is no object in applying 1

the lead arsenate to the soil before seeding unless grubs are present. It is much bet-ter to apply the chemical as a top-dressing after the new seeding is well established.

Secondly you cannot secure or demon-strate earthworm control in a 10 ft. by 10 ft. plot treated with lead arsenate when this poisoned plot is surrounded by un-poisoned turf in which earthworms are present, for the simple reason that the 1

earthworms in the surrounding unpoisoned area will be constantly creeping into the poisoned 10 by 10 plat and throwing up casts until they get a shot of the arsenate and die. Since the worms are constantly creeping in the casts will always be present thereby giving the apparent result of fail-ure to control the worms. In the same way you cannot keep a green free of casts unless you treat the turf on the outside of the green proper for a distance of at least 15 ft., so that the earthworms in creeping toward the green get a shot of the arsenate and succumb before they ever reach the green proper.

JACK PATTERSON, pro-greenkeeper at Midlothian C. C., recommends the ap-

plication of arsenate of lead in a soap-water solution for application to bushes. This makes the arsenate stick to the bushes and protect them against beetles and other insects.

* Chicago Plans Downtown >. Golfers Club SUCCESS of the Golfers club In New

York has been responsible for renew-ing discussion on the subject of establish-ing such a town club in Chicago as a head-quarters not only for members of local golf clubs, but for visitors from other private clubs in the central states.

* The Golfers club of New York is com-fortably located at 102 East 40th street and, although only a little more than two and a half years old, it finds itself estab-lished as one of the Gotham town clubs whose memberships are h ighly prized. Clifford Wendehack, the architect who has

v been responsible for many outstanding country clubhouses, remodeled an old stable into the home of the Golfer's club. He obtained a handsome wrought-iron gate which separates the small first floor reception room of the club from its 18-hole cotton-seed hull putt ing course and by using this imported antique and a strik-

, ing fireplace he came across during his travels, he fixed the club up with a sight that very favorably presents itself to the first gaze the visitor gets of the establish-ment.

A small dining room on the second floor, where the service and cuisine are excel-lent, practice nets, showers and a library comprise the other facil it ies of the club. The place is distinguished in i t s appoint-ments and in its service. Regular mem-bership init iat ion fee is $150 and annual dues are $150. The membership is limited to 400.

The Chicago plan is to have the facili-ties of the New York club, w i t h the addi-tion of some guest rooms and larger meal service faci l i t ies . Those who are sponsor-ing the Golfers club in Chicago have the idea that the establishment with its sleep-ing quarters will be a popular place for out-of-town members. These travelers, it is expected would welcome a temporary residence of such distinctive and pleasant character.

HOME-CLUBS are a tee your members will ask for, and ask for as Your tee, because they are a better tee—slightly longer, better pointed and uniform in size, shape and finish.
