TURF'tUt' StoMfatotlUdt! EMILIO STRAZZA HAS HAD GOOD TURF ALWAYS AT ROUND HILL . . . Emilio Strazza has been superintendent at Round Hill right from the start- Through the years — for more than a quarter century — he has kept exceptionally fine turf on the greens, the fairways, and the tees. The club has been fortunate to have Strazza in its employ. Strazza has used Milorganite year after year, ever since production started. Greens receive no other kind of nitro- gen during the summer months. The rate used then is one quarter pound actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per week. A visit to Round Hill in July or August is the best answer to those who think summer-time use of Milorganite invites trouble. In his spare time Emilio has several worthwhile hobbies. Painting is one of them. His landscape scenes on display in the clubhouse and in his home must be seen to be appreciated.
