| Question: | "There are parts of our fairways that are so infested with dandelions at the present time that very little grass exists. We must take some steps to get rid of these weeds and are wondering what you would recommend." |

| Answer/Response: | "The dandelion problem on fairways is a serious one in many sections of the country. There are several methods which have been proved to be effective but have not become popular due to the fact that any of the chemicals which kill dandelions also injure grass to some extent. Therefore areas treated with these chemicals are badly discolored for several days and the treatments are objectionable. Many clubs have found that dandelions become less and less of a nuisance as fairways are improved by some regular fertilizing program. It is true that this weed also thrives on rich soil, but apparently the grass, by feeding, is able to compete more successfully with such weeds as dandelions and ultimately greatly reduces their numbers. In your letter you did not state whether you had fertilized your fairways. If you have not done so we suggest that you first give this method a thorough trial. If dandelions persist in spite of adequate fertilization it would be well to use one of the chemical weed eradicators." |
