| Question: | "From this season's experience with brown-patch I am convinced that it is very contagious and can be carried from one green to another by mowers. Is this true?" |

| Answer/Response: | "On page 137 of the June, 1926, number of THE BULLETIN there is a diagram of the fungus growing within the leaf tissue. If such an infected grass blade is placed on healthy grass under favorable conditions the fungus will grow out from it and attack near-by grass blades and in this way start a new brown-patch. Such blades are used in our experimental work to make artificial inoculations. Under golf course conditions such infested grass undoubtedly accounts for the spread of the disease to some extent. It may be carried on mowers or other machinery or even on the feet of players. The success of attempts to prevent the spread of the disease by control of these means of inoculation will probably always be difficult. Daily inspection of all greens for evidence of infection is imperative and will not be neglected by any club desiring to reduce damage to a minimum. Delay of even a half day in the application of proper fungicides may be disastrous." |
