| Question: | "How is the best way to apply bone meal, and what quantity per green; also mowrah meal and quantity per green? Should these be applied to the greens before the topdressing or after the topdressing? Is there any danger, in using creek water, of introducing seeds of weeds or marsh grasses to the greens?" |

| Answer/Response: | "In applying bone meal all that is necessary is to scatter it as evenly as possible over the green at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds per 1000 square feet; it never burns the grass. Mowrah meal is applied at the rate of 15 pounds per 1000 square feet and is then watered in with a hose. These applications can be made either before or after topdressing. We do not consider creek water a serious menace as regards the weed problem. The great majority of the weeds that might be introduced with creek water could not withstand the close cutting given to putting greens. In the East there are probably only half a dozen troublesome weeds. The weed problem is easily solved if the greens are once freed from weeds by hand-weeding and then watched carefully to see that all weeds are pulled out as they appear. The whole weed nuisance is due to neglect–letting the weeds get a firm foothold before any attempt is made to eradicate them. Bone meal in itself has a tendency to encourage the growth of clover and a number of weeds, while ammonium sulfate has a marked tendency to discourage them. Our suggestion therefore is that you will get far better results by fertilizing with ammonium sulfate instead of bone meal." |
