| Question: | "We are preparing to build a new fairway on some very poor land which is quite gravelly in places and which is now covered with weeds, wild grass, bushes, and scrub trees. In your opinion would it pay us to plow this land and seed it to rye and vetch this fall, turning these crops under next spring, rather than to prepare the land for seeding to permanent grass, and seeding this fall to grass?" |

| Answer/Response: | "We believe it will be much better for you to grow rye and vetch on your land this fall, and turn the crop under next spring. This will improve the soil greatly and will give you an opportunity to get a fine seed bed prepared next summer for seeding in the fall to grass. To do well, grass seed needs a well prepared seed bed. We would advise you to plow the rye and vetch under in the spring as early as possible, so that it will rot thoroughly before the grass seed is sown in the fall." |
