Abstract/Contents:"During the month of June letters have been sent to all member clubs in Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, inviting their attention to the cooperative arrangements for turf investigations which have been established with the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton, Georgia. The work will be conducted by Dr. G. W. Burton. One of the projects at Tifton is the collection and testing of the many naturally-occurring superior strains of bermuda grass. All interested individuals were requested to select outstanding strains of Bermuda grass and send one cup-cutter plug of each to Dr. Burton. These selections will be planted at at Tifton, increased, and used in their breeding program and also for establishing plots for studying their turf-making qualities. Anyone interested is requested to send plugs of his better Bermuda strains to Dr. Burton."
