. The seeding and care of golf courses. Golf courses; Grasses. The Seeding and Care of Golf Courses done under the direction of an experienced person, and, if practicable, should be completed six months before seeding, to permit - "ts^k^^ settling of the trenches. Advantage should be taken of this period in the making of the course to lay the nec- essary pipe for watering the greens and fairways. The in- stalling of an adequate water system may be expensive but it pays in the long run. ENRICHING THE SURFACE SOIL /' N addition to the humous material which has been plowed under, a dressing of organic manure should be applied after plowing, to be thoroughly worked into the surface soil by repeated use of the disc harrow. Barnyard manure is the best material for this purpose, if it is fine and without any quantity of living weed seeds. The various kinds of com- mercial dried manures are also available, but expensive. If chemical fertilizers or soil amendments, such as lime, are needed, they too may be added at this time. HARROWING 7) LOWING should be immediately followed by a thorough Jt harrowing with a disc harrow, repeating the operation until the soil is worked into a fine and mellow condition. The application of an inch of sand to clay soil during the process of harrowing will be beneficial. Sand corrects the tendency to bake and crack and aids the circulation of air and water Harrowing should be repeated at intervals to kill succes- sive weed crops. It is important that they be exterminated [13].
