T Ml LORGANITE SCORES AGAIN -I Memphis Country Club Site 1948 National Amateur

This club inaugurated a turf improvement program in 1947. It produced outstanding turf for Ibe 1918 National Amateur Tournament. Fairways were a velvet-like car* pet — greens were exceptional. Fairways got Milarsenite at 400 pounds per acre, three times, spaced two weeks apart, starting in July. 1947 to kill crab grass and clover. Miloiganite was used in Sep- tember. 1947, at 1,000 pounds per acre. Greens got phosphate and potash generously last fall. This year Milorganite only was applied each monrh at 40 to 50 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Top*dressing was used when needed to keep runners buried. The Bermuda grass was leafy and fine textured. Mr. Francis and Jim Hamner may well be proud of their achievement.
