AT KANAWAKI JIMMIE PATTERSON HAS USED MILORGANITE FOR OVER TWO DECADES Kanawaki is a much used, popular private golf dub in Montreal, Canada. The turf on greens, tees, and fairways is excellent always — thanks to the know-how of Jimmie Patterson. In the early days Patterson was the Professional only. Then he was asked to direct course main- tenance in addition. Now he devotes all his time to maintenance. In addition, Patterson is gen- erous enough to lend a helping hand to other clubs in Quebec Province. Kanawaki started to use Milorganite before 1930, They have been a consistent carload user ever since — for more than two decades.
