“CIL-Organite”’ derives its nitrogen from four different sources and of varying rates of availability. This ensures an immediate and continuous supply of nitrogen to the grasses. It also has a humus base which pro- motes favourable bacterial processes in the soil, conserves moisture and removes the need for compost.

The venue of the 37th Annual Ca- nadian Amateur Championship Mon- day June 17th to Saturday June j 22nd,—will this year be at beautiful Ancaster, where the 18-hole and 9-hole links of the Hamilton Golf & Country Club are situated in ideal scenic sur- roundings some seven miles from the city. It is generally conceded that at Ancaster is to be found one of the fin- est golfing properties on the Continent. The third and seventh holes of the first nine are adjoining ones, both crossing a deep valley Both courses were laid out by the fam- j from a hightee to a high green. They are beautiful par fours, requiring well placed drives Sus English architect, Mr. Henry S. and not too stiff iron approaches. The rolling ground constitutes the hazards as both holes Col h h | ‘bl | are below the 400 yard mark.

For a great many years Ancaster was consid- ered the finest course in Canada. During the past ten years so many magnificent links have been constructed that it is now unwise to ; rate any course as the best.

We have seen that the beginning was made in the hips in order to assure that the wind-up of the body would atleast be started. When this had progressed a short distance we began to force the club back with the left arm. Now with the club having com- pleted about half of its backward trav- el, the left arm has become almost straight, and is pushing the club as far back as it can comfortably go. The arc of the swing is thus made very broad so that the space and time for adding speed to the club-head coming down will be as great as possible. The player who allows his left arm to bend perceptibly, as illustrated by Bill Burkeis sacrificing breadth of arc and power. His swing, becauseit is not as wide as it could be, is that much away from the ideal of efficiency which he could makeit.

Let the next water hose you buy, be Gutta Percha “Golf Special” hose—and here are reasons why: This hose was specially developed to meet the needs of golf club service. It is exceptionally flexible. Therefore kinks which develop into weaknesses are practically eliminated.

In the planning of the work due regard was paid to the results of investigations conducted in the United States and by Imperial Chemical Indus- tries Limited, our associates in Great Britain, It is not myintentionhere to gointo details of the investi- c aa i gations, but it is significant that ourresults led us to recom- a e c mend a Golf Green Special fertilizer of a 10 2-2 formula e i which was found to corre‘pond veryclosely to the 13.2-2.4- 2-2 analysis brought out about the same time by Imperial Chemical Industries Limited. The initial experiments were made on greens of the Sum- merlea Golf Club, near Montreal, and extended, two years ago, to the course of the St. Andrews Golf Club, Toronto. Incidentally, the treatment demonstrated at these centres has been adopted with success by many other golf clubs in several provinces of Canada. The 10-2-2 became known asthe “Green Special” of the Province of Quebec Golf Association. But it is no longer a 10-2-2, since the investigations in their progress revealed that a 10-5 2 (higher phosphoric acid) is superior. This QUALITY seems to be explained by the properties of phosphoric acid CONTROLLED described earlier. We have gone a step further and made the discovery that still better results may be obtained by Te alternating applications of the 10-5-2 Golf Green Special with a humus-base fertilizer (CIL-Organite) of a 7-5-2 LOOK FOR THIS LABEL formula. The nitrogen in the latter is derived from four different sources of variable availability. At this juncture I interpose the remark that much of the nitrogen applied in water-soluble forms to golf greens may —, be lost because of the copious watering given, although dur- OQ. ing the summer the upward trend of the soil moisture restores it largely to the upper strata.

The proper time for the first application is when con- ditions become favorable for the start of grass growth. In the Toronto area it may be about the first or second week of April, in the neighborhood of Montreal some three weeks later. The first application should generally be heavier than subsequent ones. The frequency of applications has received some study, and we have found evidence in favor of treat- ment every two weeks, as compared with monthly treat- ments.
