| Question: | "In the preparation of land for several new fairways we are about to construct, we have advice from one source to fertilize it first with horse manure while another source advises us not to use horse manure under any circumstances but that sheep manure should be used, and still another source advises us that the proper thing to do is to grow a crop of peas on the land first and turn it under. We shall appreciate your suggestions In the matter." |

| Answer/Response: | "The character of turf grass can always be regulated by fertilizing the established turf from the top, and in the end this is just as cheap and more satisfactory than trying to get the soil rich enough to grow turf indefinitely without fertilizing. As for the value of the different manures, cow manure gives the best results. Horse manure is excellent, and so are some grades of sheep manure. If you buy any manure, we would advise you to buy that which is cheapest, as the differences between them are of minor importance when cost is considered. As for growing a crop of peas on the land and plowing it under, that is an excellent plan, provided you are in position to wait a year longer, as it will take that long for a crop to mature." |
