McGREADY-KERN TEAM BUILDS BETTER TURF AT TRENTON COUNTRY CLUB Mr. G. C. McGready inherited crab grass infested greens, poor tees, and indifferent fairways when he became Chairman at Trenton Country Club (New Jersey), lie decided to get a competent Superintendent and sought the services of Kussell Kern. The choice was a good one. In a single season Russ licked crab grass and pro- vided good greens. Tees and fairways have been vastly better also. Club members are happy w ith the McGready-Kern team. Kern is an old timer in the area, with a record of achievement at Tavistock and other clubs before that. He has used Milorgan- ite regularly for many years.
