ture of the soil varies so much; generally speak-ing, a sandy soil 'vvill stand much heavier roll-ing than a clay soil. On a clay soil such asmost of our golf courses are composed. a roller'vveighing from 1500 to 2000 lbs. and eightfeet wide is ample weight for the job. I wouldnot recommend anything heavier than those'vveights, it being much better to use too lighta roller than one too heavy.

The number of times the fairways shouldbe rolled can best be governed by conditions.If the greenkeeper feels that he has a satisfac-tory condition with one rolling, he will bewell advised to let well enough alone; if heconsiders the grass is not sufficien tl y pressedinto the soiL or that the surface of the fairwayis still too uneven, he must watch for a seconrl

opportunity and perhaps a third: but by allmeans give them one thoroughly good rolling.

By W. J. SANSOM, GreenkeeperToronto Golf Club. Long Branch. Ontario

IN REGARD to rolling of fairways in the spring.I consider that judicious use of the roller is a mat-

ter that calls for the exercise of considered judgment.For whilst it is highly essential that fairways shouldbe rolled as much as necessary to maintain a firm rootrun for the grass and a smooth even surface for play.it is a grave error to overdo it.

A great deal of harm may be done and often isdone by using too heavy a roller, especially where thesoil is of heavy clay. Rolling when the turf is satu-rated with moisture will do more harm than good. Itis well to bear in mind that a healthy growth and

What Is a Green Worth?SUPPOSE you do save a few dollars in treating

the green for earthworms, but injure the turf.Have you saved money or wasted it?More than 500 greenkeepers in all parts of thecountry have come to the conclusion that the besttreatment is also the most economical in the longrun. That is why they stick to good old "ELEC-TRIC." And their greens grow better and betterwith every passing year.

proper functioning of roots is impossible when air i5excluded from the soil.

Sandy or stony soil may be rolled a great deal andstill allow access of air simply because stones and grittyparticles of sand cannot be bound tightl y together. butwill maintain a fair degree of openness or porosity inthe soil. Where the soil is heavy and retentive ofmoisture. rolling should be done when the ground isdry and never immediately after heavy rains.

Spring rolling of fairways should be done as earl yas possible after the frost is out of the ground and thesurface water has drained away. A strict watch mustbe kept upon the conditions of the soil and the ad-vantage taken of every opportunity. The time to rollin the spring depends on the locality. texture of thesoil and rainfall. Light sandy soil or loam can berolled much earlier than a heavy loam or clay.

The rollers I use were made in Toronto and consistof three-sections. each secti<;>nbeing four feet in widthand weighing one thousand pounds-that is threethousand pounds spread over a width of twelve feet.I have been using these rollers for the past eight yearswith good results. In having a set for each of myToro tractors I am able to get my rolling done justas soon as conditions are favorable in the spring.

The Amherst Exhibition~ LLEWELLYN L. DERBY

A NOTHER well-planned, complete exhibition andfi another profitable session for discussing green-keeping problems, was the verdict of visitors to thesecond annual golf course maintenance exhibitionwhich was held at the Massachusetts Agricultural Col-lege at Amherst, March 8 and 9.

Members of Prof. L. S. Dickinson's class for green-keepers planned and set up the exhibition and madethe visitors intimately acquainted with the differentphases in golf course maintenance illustrated. It isworthy of mention that the members of this year'sclass came from the six States of Connecticut, Ohio,Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Massachusetts. Theirassignments at the exhibition were as follows: Motors-W. A. Mumford, Orchard Ridge Country Club,Fort Wayne, Indiana; Water Systems-Harry Burk-hardt, assistant greenkeeper, Westwood Country Club,Rocky River, Ohio, and George Moquin, Bristol Coun-try Club, Bristol, Conn.; Soils and Fertilizers-J.

One of the centers of interest was the 18-hole modelcourse, measuring twelve by fourteen feet, designedarchitecturally by Walter B. Hatch, associate of DonaldRoss. From time to time, the class during their ten-week's course built it up, bit by bit, attempting to solvethe different greenkeeping problems as they arose.

Coincident with the exhibition, the New EnglandGreenkeepers Association held its annual meeting.

JOHNQUAILL.

SAYS:Now that the third annual convention is over and

and we have all settled down to get ready for ourspring work, several thoughts come to us. Probablythe first thought is, will our convention next year be asgood as the one we have just passed. The answer is,yes, if we all help to make it a success and will give ourtime and influence toward boosting the association andits conventions. Tell that neighbor of yours who doesnot belong what he missed at the convention and whathe is missing all the time by not being a member.

Another question that is asked a great many timesis, what does the association do with all its money.Out of the ten dollars dues here is how it is spent.Two dollars to the Benevolence Fund, two dollars tothel National Greenkeeper for your magazine subscrip-tion and the balance for postage and stati.pnery, trav-eling expense for extension work, printing, payrollsand general office expense. This year we expect tospend considerable in getting new members and ex-tending our association throughout the country.

If every mem ber would get two mem bers, we wouldhave a membership of sixteen hundred. If you can'tget two, get one.

The executive committee is working on the newinsurance plan. We hope to be able to announce thechange shortly. You will receive a letter very soonexplaining this plan in detail and asking you to fillout a card. Filling out this card will in no wayobligate you. We must have the ages of every green-keeper to figure the rate. It is estimated that thecost wiII be ten to twelve dollars for one thousanddollars insurance. This is a very cheap rate and at thiscost it would be foolish to pass it up. The com-mittee is investigating the company thoroughly tosee that it is reliable and safe.

1929 dues arc due April 1, 1929. You will not re-ceive your magazine until the 1929 dues arc paid up.So pay up and receive your copies of the magazine forthe full year. Statements will be mailed.

a golf mower trallels during tbe season.

THERE are no speedometers on tractors, so there isno way of telling just how many miles a tractor

covers every year on a golf course. Many manufac-turers of farm tractors estimate the average farm trac-tor has a normal working life of 600 days. It shouldbe generally conceded that a golf course tractor doesconsiderably more work than the average farm tractor.and although there are no definite ways of figuringthe exact service from the point of mileage, it is com-parativel y easy to figure out how far a tractor mowertravels.

So take out your pencils and see how accurate thesefigures are as compared to your own course.

FAIRWAY:viOWERSAverage length IS-hole course 6500 yards.Less 50 yards rough per hole 900 yards.Total yardage cut 5600 yards.Width of fairwa ys. 50 yards.Width of cut, 4 yards.Number of rounds, 13.Total mileage necessary to cut, 72,SOO yards.Cutting season, 210 weeks.2 cuts per week, 43 cuts-3, 130,400 yards.Cutting mileage per season-l 77S.7 miles.It is conservative then. to estimate that for handling

the mowing job. a tractor mowing outfit travels 177Smiles per year, or equivalent to the distance betweenNew York City and Denver. Colorado.

This estimate does not take into consideration theextra work that a golf course tractor does when notused as a mowing outfit and it can be conservativel y

stated that this \voldd amount to at least five hundredmiles more per year.

It is easy to ascertain how far a putting green mowertravels. and if you are not all tired out with this high-powered arithmetic. take your pencil in hand againand see how close these figures come to your owncourse.

Johnhad his troubles due to heavy rains and scalding sun.but those who saw his golf course at the time of theWalker Cup Matches will testify that as a greenkeeperhe is second to none in the United States.

Concluding the meeting Arthur Reitsch, superin-tendent of the park district of Rockford gave an in-teresting talk which was great] y appreciated. Mr.Reitsch is also superintendent of the Rockford ParkCountry Club.

The evening was spent in discussion of upkeep,seeding, fertilizing and equipment. The recent N. A.G. A. Convention was reviewed and the various papersread at the conferences were discussed at length. Itwas voted that this was one of the most instructivemeetings yet held.

From all appearances Louisville is very much flat-tered and gratified that the National Association ofGreenkeepers of America will visit them next February."The green keepers will find," said Mr. Evans to Mr,Morley, "that Louisville is not the biggest town yetit is large enough to afford metropolitan service andamusements while still within easy reach of toe opencountry.

"Louisville has much to offer any national organi-zation as a cbnvention city," Mr. Evans continued."Being located within eighty-two miles of the nation'scenter of population it can easily make good the boastthat it is 'twenty-four hours from anywhere.' Thecity is served by nine trunk-line railroads; it is in directconnection with the electric systems to the North; per-fect highways run through its gate-ways from everypoint of the compass.

"Just a few blocks from any of the hotels is theJefferson County Armory, which is used by conven-tions for exhibition purposes. This is one of the verybest exhibition halls in the United States. The greatbuilding has a floor space of 196 by 270 feet, whichgives a square foot measurement of 53,000, all with-out obstruction of any kind. There is an unobstruct-ed balcony space of 18,000 additional square feet.Electric current, either type, is available in any quantityand at a low rate. Gas lines may be run to any partof the building. There is water supply and drainageat every twenty feet over the main floor. This build-ing is complete for display purposes."

Treating My GreensBy JOHN MORLEY

"Last week I gave all our putting greens 50 poundsof hydrated lime, because this kind does not linger inthe soil as long as agricultural lime. By the first ofMay when it is time to feed the soil nitrogen there willbe very little of the hydrated lime left to disturb anyfertilizer mostly composed of nitrogen.

"On two of my putting greens I have put on Gyp-sum-this is sulphate of lime, and it does not sweetenthe soil like other lime, nor does it force clover, butdoes bring on a soil reaction.

"Last season I did not use an y pulverized charcoal.

A New Hole CupCharles H. Michael, greenkeeper

of the Park Club of Buffalo andmember of the N. A. G. A. an-nounces in this issue a new solidaluminum hole cup with unusualpatented features.

It is called the "Klean-Ball Cup"because the center support for theflagstaff is raised above the cup bot-tom and carries a flange which pre-vents the ball from lodging any-where near the bottom of the cup.This means that the ball cannotcome in contact with any form ofdirt.

The upper inside edge is beveledtowards the center which preventsthe ball from being deflected whenit hits the back of the cup. In otherwords this beveled edge throws theball downward into the cup insteadof upward onto the green. Four holesare drilled in the bottom of the cupfor drainage, and the bottom of theflagstaff socket is closed at the b.ot-tom so that the staff will alwaysstand upright on a secure founda-tion.

The construction of the cup isvery high-grade and the price ex-tremely reasonable. Mr. Michaelwill be glad to send complete infor-mation upon request.

Godwin Bent GrassA newcomer in the advertising

pages of our magazine this monthis Hiram F. Godwin an experienc-ed green keeper and member of theN. A. G. A. He has entered the

HIRAJvl F. GODWIN

national field in the distribution ofbent stolons for golf courses, lawns,athletic fields, etc.

Mr. Godwin began growingstolons eight years ago and plantinga few greens of several courses. Oneparticular strain which he was in-formed by those at Washington atthe time was "Washington," madea particularly fine turf without napand was very resistant to fungus

diseases. He has used every pre-caution to keep this strain pure.

Every year there has been an in-creasing demand for this particulargrass from those who have playedover turf where it was established. Ithas naturally been the source of nolittle pleasure to Mr. Godwin tohave been able to grow and supplya product which invariably has pro-duced a pleased customer. It takesabout three years to prove out inturf what a particular strain will doand he is constantly experimenting,in hopes of finding something bet-ter; although to date, out of hun-dreds of strains tried and discarded,none combined all of the desirablecharacteristics as well as the "Wash-ington."

Mr. Godwin's address is 18261Beaverland Drive, Detroit, Mich.,and he will be glad to hear from hisbrother-greenkeepers and Greencommittee chairmen who are inter-ested in bent grass for either newgreens or to establish nurseries.
