COOPERATION NOT .\ SENTIMENT

COOPERATION is not a sentiIl1ent. It isan econon1ic necessity. \Ve want every-

one to realize that we cannot be classified as alabor organization for a greenkeeper would bcout of place in one. Greenkeeping belongs toart and science. The re1nuneration of a green-keeper will always be based upon practicalknowledge and experience.

Up-to-date inforInation and training enablcsa greenkeeper to sa \'chis club thousands ofdollars through effi-cien t nlethods and ex-pert diagnosis of soilconditions. Dearth ofprinted knowledge.lack of opportunity forcontact and coopera-tion, and the absoluteneed for eyery possiblebit of infonnation,were the real control-ling factors whichactuated the organiza-tion of the 1\Tational

Thc object of thisassocia tion is to ad-

yance the art and sciencc of greenkeeping, tocenlent thc green keepers of the United Statesand Canada into a closcr relationship with eachot her, and to collect and dissel11ina te practicalknowledge of thc prob1cnls of grcenkeepingwi th a view of n10re efficien t and cconomicalmaintenance of golf courses. \Vith this in vicwit has been the aiI11and purpose of thc NationalAssociation of Greenkeepers of .Alnerica tostudy and devise ways andmcans to lcssen thecost of golf and at the same t inle to endeayorto improye servicc.

Dear Mr. Morley:-I have to thank you for the complimentary sug-

gestion contained in your letter of November 15th.It will however be impossible for me to comply withit, as I am booked to leave the country for several1110nths' absence, on the 15th of this coming] anuary.

These conferences to which you have lent so en-couragingly your influence and assistance seem tome to make a most important development in golfcourse affairs. In no line of endeavor could cooper-ation and discussion on the part of those carrying onthe work be of more benefit than in the cultivationand maintenance of turf.

I have noticed with satisfaction the growth of yourassociation and the very general interest that is beingtaken in it, not only by your members but by all whoare in anyway identified with golf.

I wish for it increasing popularity and good fortune.\Vith kind regards, I am,

Sincerely yours,(SIGNED) Chas. C. \Vorthington.

] ohn ~I orley. Esq, President,Youngstown, Ohio.

In less than three years we have grown fr0111;) ll1en1bership of sixty to over five hundred andnew nleInbers are still cOIning in. This rapidgrowth is not the result of individual efforts,but due to the supportof a nun1ber of influen-tial greenkeepers whohave recognized theneed of aNa tional As-socia tion. }\nd as Ihave previously stated,it would have been in1-possible to accOll1plishthe results \ve have at-tained had it not beenfor our official organ.the NATIONAL GREEN-KEEPER. Through this111ediun1 we have en-deavored to give to thegolfing world inforn1a-tion and service byable and experiencedn1en devoted to the science of green keeping.

The NATIONAL GREE~KEEPER, as well as ourassociation, has at all times tried to be conserv-ative and clean. For we want this associationto instill into the hcarts of every Inenlber re-spect for our vocation and ha\'e hinl think hinl-self bound to uphold it and claiI11 for it the re-spect it deserves. \Ve believe in cooperatingwith the various chairnlen of Green conl1111t-tees, also officials of district golf associations,as \Ycll as the rank and fi Ie of greenkeepers.

IAl\1 unable to find words to eXJ)ress to eachof you personally IllY sincere appreciation

for the able support you have given us in 1nak-ing it possible to carryon the progressive workof the National j\ssociation of Greenkeepersof America.

12 THE NATIONAL GREENKEEPER January, 1929

Did it e\'er occur to the greenkeepers of.-\lnerica, the \"ide fayorable publicity whichhas been broadcast by the daily press and ourown Illagazine? Since the National canle intoexistence, both the United Press as well as the!\ssociated Press haye all helped to show theoutside world the importance of our calling. f\short tinle ago inllnediately after the annualelection of officers of the Cleyeland DistrictGreenkeepers Association, one of the leadingradio stations broadcast the nalnes of thenewly elected officers. That we are now ratedwith the various Inajor organizations of Alner-ica can be obsen'ed by the .splendid invitationfr0111 the ~Iayor and Challlber of COnlll1erCeof the City of Cleyeland, Ohio, to hold our 1930conyention in their city. \Vho says we are notkeeping step wi th the tinles?

Chainnen of Green COtl1Illittees and green-keepers who attend our 1929 Conference andGol f Show will go away with a new interest intheir work and relationship, and a far betterrealization of the benefits that the National.:-\~sociation of Greenkeepers of Atnerica is of-

fering to eyery golf club in An1erica. I-Ier.e youwill C0111ein contact with greenkeepers andofficials of golf clubs fronl nearly every state inthe Union and the D0111inion of Canada, es-pecially those residing in the Provinces of On-tario and Quebec who will be present in fullforce. You want to be there to greet them, asyou \\-ill find thenl a lot of jolly good fellows.

REPRODUCED above is one of the many illustrations contained inour unusual SPECIAL 1929 CATALOG which pictures and de-

scribes all the tractor-drawn, horse-drawn and hand-.operated mowers inthe complete PENNSYLVANIA Quality line for Golf Courses.

This illustration gives one example of the complete operating flexibilityof the improved, tractor-drawn PENNSYLVANIA "New" Fairway Quint.I t is by means of a unique lifting device that-as shown in the picture-the operator of the Quint can quickly and easily raise the two outboardunits to permit passing through narrow spaces or over bridges.

If you are interested in obtaining greater mowing mileage at lowercost per mile, you will want to know more about the "New" Fairway Quintor Trio, the Super Roller and New Aristocrat Greens Mowers and theother mowers in the complete PENNSYLVANIA Quality line forGolf Courses, all of which are pictured and described in this attractivenew catalog.

man character as to nlake greenkeepers righ1"lyappreciate and esteem one another. We haveendeavored to nlake our association the out-growth of the spirit and the prevailing senti-Inen t of the tinles. \¥e present its teachingsand principles as a great nloral force with theutnlost confidence and appeal to its fruits asverified by our records.

:1\1yInind travels back to that beautiful Sep-teInber day in 1926 when a band of about sixtygreen keepers pledged themselves to be loyal toour association. They did not give that pledgein some out of the way place, but in the beauti-ful club house of the Sylvania Golf Club, To-ledo, Ohio, and it was the chairman of theGreen cOI1lInittee who called the meeting toorder, Doctor I-Iartshorn. And at that nleetingwe all cherished the greetings fron1 Doctor \lV.S. l-larban, vice-chainnan of the United StatesGolf f\ssociation, Green Section, when he saidin part that, "greenkeepers will no longer bein the background as the nlenial necessities ofa course but stand out, as their superior intelli-gence should place thenl, above all others con-cerned in golf life. I wish you every success inyour meeting and hope you will build up a bodyof 1110stdeserving nlen and an organization\\"orthy of the high standards you have alwaysstood for."

\Ve can truthfully say today after nearlythree years of our existence before the golfingworld that Doctor l-larban's sentiments anddesires haye been fulfilled. No greater proofc0uld be given but to again call attention to thefacts that since we have been organized fullyninety per cent of all the important State andNational tournaInents have been conducted oncourses Inaintained by green keepers belongingto our association. Nature gives to those whoseheart and soul is adapted for the profession ofgreen keeping personal satisfaction, peace oflllilld, contentInent, nlaterial comfort, char-acter and reputation. The adnliration of clubmembers, everything that Inakes life worth-while is the inevitable consequence of doingXature's work. No other branch of scienceC0111eSI110reclosely to Nature than the callingpi life which we are undertaking. If we co-

Those who attended the Detroit con-yen tion were alnazed at the progress and rapidwork accomplished in one day.

natl1e of the grass and every grass expert thatvisits our course has a new nanle for this strainof grass, which is the original strain developedby Professor Carrier and nalned "Washing-ton." However, sonle day the truth will belearned about the changing of these nanles bythe department in \Vashingtoll.

The heads of the organization at this periodput through a rule that should be adopted byall golf clubs, that every change or nlajor op-era tion on the golf course shall first be placedbefore the board of directors for their approvaland they have in this way controlled every pro-posed change that has been made on the golfcourse.

Professor Carrier visi ts Kirtland twice a yearand his advice is followed to the letter withthe results that we have nlade no ll1istakes andhaye enjoyed good putting greens, he has alsolaid out a three year schedule of fertilizing forour fairways that will l11ake thCl11equal to OUt-putting greens.

To know Professor Carrier is an honor anda privilege and for his advice and help the IZirt-land Country Club is indeed very grateful.

To tell the story of the tOrlnation andbuilding of the IZirtland Country Club is justa repeti tion of luan y siluilar organizations thathave been fonned and opened for play onlyto find that for sonle reason it was ilupossibleto round the course into playing condition andthe grass on the greens would not deyelop.

After the second year the greens caIne on inbeautiful $hape. In the spring the coursewas opened for play only to run into a season ofbrown patch weather that conlpletely \yiped outthe greens and nlost all of the fairways.
