better the root system. This was ably demonstrated by Mr. Harrison last year during the
U. S. G. A. Greens Section meeting at the
Chicago experimental
turf garden, when he
showed the root system of grass cu t in differen t
lengths.
The first step to take by those who
ha ve a mania for close cu tting is to raise the
mower a notch-the
result will be a pronounced improvement.
One more reason for poor fairways is lack
of water when it is essential. The best fertilized
turf cannot be expected to stay green nor near
spring condition without water. Many of the
new courses are having a water system installed
during construction.
Those contemplating
a
water system should investigate the new hoseles's systems which have been installed on several courses during the past two years. There is
no question about the merit of such a system.
Fertilization of the fairways is very important and should be a yearly occurrence. I have
found that best results are obtained by fertilizing early in the spring, before the grass has
started growth.

discussed ways and means of avoiding bill collectors during the next eleven months.
If our green keepers can keep about three
holes ahead of those fellows, we are going to
charter the Graf Zeppelin and go to Columbus
in style. In the meantime there is going to be
a little contest known as the National Open

second week in July, and Erich Pahl has managed to arrange for a Greens Section meeting
the day before the hostilities begin.

To maintain perfect greens as demanded by presentday golfers, perfect: cutting of the grass, frequent
rolling
of the turf, aerating of the soil, brushing in top dressing
and brushing off worm casts and other refuse, are necessary operations
which require
considerable
care if the
surface of the green
is not to be injured.
The everincreasing popularity of the Cooper Putting Green Mower
is due to the fact: that it eliminates
manual labor from
greenkeeping
and under its own power performs
these
various operations
efficiently and quickly.
The
high-speed,
seven-blade
reel
trims
the
turf
to per-
fection; the smooth sectional aluminum roller with differential action
for easy turning, supplies traction and provides with each cutting that
gentle rolling action that levels without: packing; finger t:ip control and
independent operation of blade reel and traction roller make the mower
extremely easy to handle. The light: but strong steel and aluminum alloy
construction, Briggs (, Stratton motor and grease packed gears with ball
and roller bearings throughout are Cooper features that: insure longer
life and trouble free service.
Of particular
importance
is the
fact that t his mower
has
the
famous
quicR-detachable
.. dropout"
reel and bed
pia t e un i t
pioneered
by Cooper.
Both roller
and reel are chain driven and the
latter can be operated
in reverse
for self-sharpening.
Add i t ion al
investment
in a transport
cart for
this mower is unnecessary.
Each Cooper

and at small

cost can be equipped
wit h the

as illustrated.
By doing

invitation to all the green keepers of the state
to attend this meeting, and we are anxious to
have the boys from all over the country pay
us a visit about that time, for we have a very
interesting and instructive experimental
plot
at Interlachen that might pull a few stragglers
away from the Bobby Jones Gallery.
After the boys had taken care of the election
of officers by giving them all a chance to do
better this year, they succeeded in putting
something over on Charlie Erickson, but we
will tell you about that later.
The officers
who were given one more year to make good
in their official positions were Chas. Erickson,
President, Erich Pahl, Secretary, Victor Larson, Treasurer, and the proverbial Vice-Presiden tial side- track honor was given to the
writer, because that officer has nothing to do,
and they consider your scribe a master of that
art.
Reports of the secretary and the treasurer indica ted that one was checking pretty closely on
the other, and if the conditions remain unchanged, our bondsmen will have an easy time
this year. Erich and Vic have demonstrated
their ability to keep something besides greens.
as their books proved, and they were given a
vote of thanks from the Association for the
careful work that they have done during the
past year.
T"his article is getting rather lengthy, but I
have to tell you about Charlie Erickson.
If
any greenkeeper anywhere doesn't know Charlie, then they have never heard of Minikahda
Club, for Charlie found Minikahda away back
in the' 90s, very much like Pharaoh's daughter
found Moses, in a cradle among the rushes. and
unlike the daughter, Charlie brought the young
Minikahda up to its present maturity.
But Mr. Erickson must have found a fountain of youth hidden away at his club, for he
is just as young and enthusiastic as he was
thirty years ago, and this youngster has been
our president since we organized our association, and the boys think that he is quite some
president. So they presented a beautiful monumen tal inkstand and desk pen to the' 'Veteran
Greenkeeper of Minnesota", and he was more
surprised than he was the time that his chairman found a dandelion on his 13th green, and
-far
more pleased.

Tested Seeds
omatter how well the soil has
been prepared, or how fully the
thousand and one little details have
been taken care of-if the seeds you
plant are not right, it is largely wasted effort. This is why we emphasize,
at all times, what we term "The
Henderson
Standard of Quality,"
rather than our prices.
We have always believed that there
is a demand for the highest grade of
Grass Seed-Grass Seed that could be
depended upon, and the results have
fully justified this belief.
Let us quote you on your requirements, and you will be surprised to
find that the prices for Seeds of the
Henderson Quality are about the
same as you have been paying, but
with a vast difference as to results.
We can help you with your course
problems. Our staff of trained men is
competent to assist you, whether it
be a complete new course, the renovation of your present one, or the
usual problems that come from day
to day.
An inquiry does not obligate you
in any way.

couples from the surrounding
section who,
after an excellent dinner, enjoyed dancing to
the strains of an exceptionally fine orchestra
,till the' 'wee sma" hours of the morning. The
beautiful interior of Bonnie Briar club earned
the admiration of the visitors and a word of
praise is due the club staff for its excellent serVIce.

guests and thanked the committee who so ably
assisted him. The members of same including.
Mr. Robert Hayes, Mr. Joe Butler of Siwanoy

course of his remarks said:
Bob Hayes Says
"I am more than happy to see the large and
representative gathering here tonight and trust
that each and everyone is having a very enjoyable time and will carry away a pleasant memory of this happy occasion. It is indeed encouraging to find such keen in terest and hearty
coopera tion on the part of the Westchester Association.

not least the Banquet was something to be remembered and how.
"It was decided to hold the next Convention

is listening in on this program and who assured

We are all looking forward
to seeing the Convention held in New York in
1932 and to accomplish that end, it is up to
us, here in the East to show a keener interest
in the National Greenkeepers Association. so
let the slogan be, 1000/0 membership in the N.
