| Question: | "A number of our greens have a very thin and mottled turf, the indications being that they were sowed to a mixture, some of the grasses of which have died out. Last fall a coating of sharp sand was spread on them with a view to improving the turf. What treatment would you suggest this spring to improve this turf?" |

| Answer/Response: | "It is unfortunate that the coating of sharp sand was spread on your greens last fall. We would suggest that at the earliest date you can, you rake this sand into the surface of the soil as thoroughly as possible. Putting additional seed on bare spots of putting greens in the spring rarely gives good results. We would advise you to stimulate the growth of the grass all you can during the spring and summer by fertilizing with ammonium sulfate and topdressing with a good loamy compost, and seed the bare spots with South German mixed bent seed in the late summer or fall." |
