Abstract/Contents:Author describes how he managed to establish Chewings fescue on a hard clay fairway. "First of all I took a disc with blades set straight, and cut the fairway in three different directions, then top dressed with a good grade of screened compost. On top of this surface I seeded the poor spots with Chewing's fescue, mixed with a small quantity of red top." He filled in the bad "cuppy" spots with rotted manure. "With this treatment I now find the fescue making rapid strides in filling in the bare spots and living up to its reputation of making a fine, closely matted turf."
