Abstract

The Golf Green Research Station at St. Ives, Bingley, continues its investigations into problems connected with the management of lawns. Vol. 2, No. 7 of its journal has recently appeared, and contains articles on “The Management of Golfing Turf on Heavy Soil” by G. Samuels, “Mole Draining of Golf Courses on Heavy Land” by R. B. Dawson, “Composts and Fertilisers in Relation to Green—keeping” by T. W. Evans, “A Greenkeeper's Guide to the Grasses” by I. G. Lewis, and “Common Weeds of Turf” by R. B. Dawson. The Station has already made outstanding contributions to our knowledge of the ecology of the grasses which are used for lawns. Mr. R. B. Dawson and Dr. T. W. Evans have revolutionised our methods of manuring lawns, both of golf greens and garden and are substituting scientific knowledge for the ‘rule of thumb’ methods or the absence of methods, of the past. The journal may be obtained from the St. Ives Research Station, Bingley, Yorks., price 2s. 6d. per number.
