Pacific Coast GossipIT By ARTHUR LANGTON

"1 HERE is no telling what will happen when a groupof greenkeepers get together.

A group of greenkeepers in southern California hasdecided that something should be done to mitigate thecurrent economic embarrassment. In carrying out thisidea they have decided to encourage trade in their par-ticular field as much as possible by holding an exhibitof golf equipment during which time the latest indevices for main taining golf courses will be shown anddemonstra ted.

That this will be advantageous to both green keepersand salesmen is obvious inasmuch as greenkeepers onthe Pacific coast rarely are able to attend the nationalconvention and exhibit. And because the local green-keepers are scattered throughout many hundred thou-sand square miles of territory, manufacturers' repre-sentatives are not always able to arrange a demonstra-tion for individual greenkeepers.

For the purpose of the exhibit which will be heldon April 13, the Bel-Air Country club of WestwoodHeights, Los Angeles, has graciously consented to grantthe use of its scenic grounds.

Bent Grass SeedDirect from my farms where it grows

There is no one variety of grass, whether it is fineturf grass or forage grass, that grows equaIly well underall the varying degrees of humid, soil, and climaticconditions. The alfalfa that grows in North and SouthDakota is a vastly different strain than that whichgrows and produces the wonderful yields in the SaltRiver Valley of Arizona. The dent corn grown on theplains of Iowa and Nebraska is not the same as theIndian Maize corn that produces the largest yields insouthern New England.

Likewise, certain varieties of Bent grass do muchbetter in some localities than in others.

I have had a great deal of experience covering elevenyears in furnishings hundreds of golf clubs with theirannual seed requirements. If you wiIl absolutely followthe simple directions in applying the seed that I recom-mend to revamp your old greens or old fairways or onnew seedings, I will absolutely GUARANTEE RE-SULTS.

Tbis mOl1th al1d l1ext is the time to apply yoltr seed to improve the tltrf

who could wield a club and could pay a green fee. Inspite of the depression several courses set new highmarks for the amount of play during February.

The combination of heat, damp soil, and heavy playhas made the surface of the greens unusually hard forthis region, so that even a well-played ball frequentlygoes over the green. To remedy this condition, disc-ing, spiking, and the application of calcium carbonateare being tried, not always successfully because the heatand the heavy play are continuing.

One of the surest signs that the ramy season-wealmost said winter-is over here is the fact that thefairway sprinklers have ceased their hibernation and arebeginning their seven-month grind.

At the Annandale Country club, near Pasadena theattempt is being made to keep Bermuda grass greenthroughout the winter by the use of fertilizers, ac-cording to a report. Although the grass may be niceand green at the present time, it is difficult to deter-mine whether or not this favorable condition is due toa period of warm days foll~wing closely upon the heelsof heavy rain.

However, if the experiment proves a success and themuch maligned Bermuda stays verdant the year round,a long step will have been taken towards the millen-ium as far as the greenkeepers in the Pacific Southwestare concerned. Many of the local guardians of turfand green insist that there is no better grass anywherefor fairways than Bermuda grass when it is green andtender, but when it is tough and stringy there is verylittle that could be worse.

Getting back to the climate again-and who docsnot when speaking of California?-it has been respon-sible for a rather unusual condition on the southerngreens. The protracted period of heavy rain followedby warm sunshiny days brought forth every player

Penn State Course Popular~ HE three-weeks' course at Penn State proved verypopular this year and much good seemed to come fromit. At the close of the course a three-day conferencewas held at which more than sixty clubs were repre-sented.

Practically all the problems connected with the cul-ture of fine turf and the control of turf diseases werecovered in the discussions.

Mr. John QuaiII,

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Enclosed find money order for ten dollars ($10.00),same being membership dues for 1931 in the NationalAssociation of Greenkeepers of America.

While I was unable to attend the Show and Confer-ence at Columbus, I feel the officers of the Nationalassociation and all men who are instrumental in con-ducting the Convention and Golf Show deserve a com-ment of appreciation on their efforts to help their fel-low-greenkeepers. May the good work continue.

For sometime I have wondered why the Question andAnswer column in the National GreenkeejJcr wasdoomed to death in its infancy. Surely there are anynumber of green keepers who have been losing sleep thepast two dry summers turning over and over in theirminds some problems of course management which haveadded a few gray hairs to their heads.

If we could have all the questions tha t exist in theminds of our members published and answered in theN atiol1al Greel1kee per) I am sure it would be of greatbenefit to many, and furthermore it would fulfill yourhopes of having the magazine so large as to badly cripplethe financial status of the Editor.

A letter from Mr. Power, Editor of the NationalGreenkeeper, asked for a number of questions which Isent to the office of the magazine some time ago. Thesewere forwarded to Professor Lawrence S. Dickinson,Amherst, Massachusetts, for publication. Althoughthey have been solved quite satisfactorily for me throughour course at Michigan State College, I shall submit sameupon receipt of answers from Professor Dickinson.Should any conflicting solutions arise I wiII let it beknown. I think we will all welcome constructive criti-cism and from it grow bigger and better than ever.

A strictly organic fertilizer is beingplaced on the market through our col-umns this month by the \X1ayside Gar-dens Company, Mentor, Ohio. It is aplant food developed for the specific pur-pose of promoting deep root-action andto provide a dense, healthy growth ofturf.

This new fertilizer is called "WaysideGardens Plant Food. The manufacturershave given it a thorough trial throughseveral years and are placing it on themarket with the confidence that it willfulfill a purpose much needed by thoseengaged in turf culture.

Instead of being just a stimulant theWayside Gardens Plant Food is an all-year-round proposition and one applica-tion will last from twelve to sixteenmonths.

Golf NewsAlbany (N. Y.) Country Club has

recently completed a hoseless fairwayirrigation system, with hoseless tees, onits new IS-hole "sand dune" course, alsoa new pumping plant. Here is a casewhere the nature of the soil makes com-plete irrigation imperative. The installa-tion was planned by \Vendell P. Millerand Associates, who also superintendedthe construction by local contractors.

The project cost about $25,000.00complete. Sidney J. Davis is the green-keeper in charge. The project was spon-sored and personally directed by Mr.John A. Becker, who has been Presidentof the Albany Country Club for a num-ber of years.

about sixty per cent of the fairways areon marshland with the water table justunder the grass roots. The club recentlydammed Chain-a-Lakes, which nearly

neers in charge of the project.

Mr. H. W. Eldredge, who has been

Green chairman for sixteen years and re-

cently elected to the presidency, was in-strumental in bringing about the installa-tion, which was preceded by a full sea-son's demonstration on part of one fair-

way which effectively proved to themembership the value of fairway irriga-

tion. Jake Kohr, greenkeeper, says he ismighty glad to be rid of his low pressure,

small pipe, tee and green water systems.

Queens Valley Golf Club (LongIsland) has let contracts for an 18 -holehoseless irrigation system and automaticpumping plant which will be constructed

early this spring from plans and speci-fications by Wendell P. Miller and Asso-ciates. This club was planning to installa hose system designed at home but final-ly decided that Wendell Miller's famous"finality in the first instance" wouldprove the cheapest in the long run.

Our reporter learns that the club doesnot employ an experienced green keeper ,but it is believed that with the addedfacilities and resulting increased play anexperienced man may be employed. TheGreen chairman is Judge Frank F. Add.
