brownish, unkempt appearance very typicalot soil poisoning. The ultimate result ofapplications of aluminum sulfate is a thin,weakened stand of grass. You can trythis for yourself on a small scale but wouldcertainly caution against large scale opera-tions with this compound.

B. R. Leach.Cricket MolesSir:

Can you tell me some means of riddingmy course of cricket moles? One fairwayhas had them for about two years. Thissummer they have attacked more fairwaysand are in one green. F. M. K.

(Fla.)Reply:

There are two methods of controllingcricket moles which have given a fairmeasure of success in actual practice.

The first method consists in the use ofa poisoned mash or bait made up of bran,paris green and certain attracting agents.Would suggest that you get in touch withthe Florida Experiment Station at Gaines-ville, Fla., for detailed information regard-ing the preparation and use of this bait.

Good results have also been reportedfrom the use of calcium cyanide in con-trolling mole crickets and I suggest thatyou write the American Cyanamid Co.,New York City, for information along thisline. This company maintains agents andfield men in Florida who can no doubt be

. of assistance to you. B. R. Leach.

QOLFDOM

Puff Balls in GreensSir; We have been troubled this sum-

mer with fungus growth on our greens,particularly from puff-balls. Can you giveus any information on eliminating thesefungi?-G. R. (Mass.)

Reply:Since receiving your letter of October

17th I have had some correspondence withDr. John Monteith of the Green Sectionwith regard to puff balls. He advises thatpuff balls are generally conceded to arisefrom the spores of the puff-ball funguswhich enters the soil of the green andobtains a ready foothold due to the pres-ence of ample organic matter in the soil.They can be controlled by using a drenchof a weak solution of semesan or corrosivesublimate (brown patch dosage). It is usu-ally necessary to fork the infested areaso that the solution may penetrate wellinto the soil and kill all of the fungusspores.

TWELVE clubs in Arkansas and Okla-homa, all in the trade territory of Fort

Smith, Ark., have formed the Two StatesGolf League. Earl U. Hardin of FortSmith is president. The golfers visitvarious towns once a week and have agreat time.

Showing how this golf league is an in-fluence in trade development, we give be-low, the bulletin Mr. Hardin sent out inFort Smith prior to the Fort Smith golfers'tour of north Arkansas. There's a goodhunch for business promotion in a partic-ularly happy vein, presented in this bul-letin, which goes:

"We wish to call your special attentionto the Good Will Tour of the Two-StatesGolf League to North Arkansas.

"The people of Northwest Arkansas arelooking forward to this good will tourwith much pleasure. They are spreadingthemselves as they never have before tomake this party a huge success. Thereis a point of vital interest in this trip toevery merchant in Fort Smith, and we be-lieve that every merchant who possiblycan have one of his force on this tripshould strain a point to do so. Theywill meet many people from thetowns around here that are withinour trade territory, and this personalcontact over a period of several days willgo a long ways toward creating a feelingof good fellowship among the towns.

"The interests of Fort Smith depend onthe kind of feeling of the surroundingterritory, and it is only proper that weencourage this good feeling when the op-portunity presents itself. The good of thistrip can not be overestimated. The peoplewho make this trip will have the exper-ience of forming lasting friendships thatwill be worth something in the future.

"As an example of the way the peoplein North Arkansas are going to receivethis party, each town they visit will fur-nish the party a lunch, in the eveningthere will be a dance and banquet, and inall of. the resort towns they give everymember of the party a courtesy card whichadmits them free to all the amusementsand entertainments in the town. In ad-dition to this, the hotels have made specialrates which will give a man the privilegeof taking his wife with him without payingher hotel bill, in other words, if she ac-companies you she will have free lodging.

"Let's get behind this and make it ahuge success for a bigger and better FortSmith."

Wild-Cat Oil Offer to Pros NotSponsored by Manufacturers

A prowling wild-cat is causing confusionto the pros and consternation to golf

goods manufacturers these days. The wild-cat, wearing the beguiling attire of ~fancy label, is a Michigan oil wild-cattingenterprise baited with the letterhead ofthe National Association of Sporting GoodsMan ufacturers. To make things perfectlyclear to the elect "twenty" who have beeninvited to step out for fame and fortunevia the hidden treasure of Newaygo county,the National Association of SportingGoods Manufacturers is a private enter-prise and is not connected officially withthe athletic goods chamber of commerce,the golf club manufacturers' association, orthe golf ball man ufacturers' associa-tion. Therefore, the pros who have beenpuzzled about the manufacturers going intowild-cat oil promotion, now may get theirsights lined up straight. The manufac-turers are not in the oil business.

On the letterhead of the National Asso-ciation of Sporting Goods Manufacturers,carrying type to the effect that the com-munication is from "The Sporting GoodsClearing House" which has for its func-tion "Credits;" the following call-to-get-richis handed out to the lucky two-score:

Dear SiT:Please 'read carcjully and. then act

promptly.Oertain it is that many ot us spend

our lives hoping and '[J'l'aying [or op-portunity and then jail to recognizeit when it comes.

H ere is an Opp01'tunity tor you. Areyou going to pass it by when all I ask0/ you is a little bit of uou» time?

You doubtless have retui in the dailypape-rs a,bout the tortumes being madein the Muskegon oil fields.

My assoctate and I have taken titleto 4,000 ac-res of land in Newaygocounty, Michigan, on which we a-re go-ing to drill for oil, In order to raisethe necessary junds [or d-rilling we areofre'ring tor sale 2,000 acres of thisland at $50 an acre.

If you have any selling ability thendon't pass this ofrc'l" by.

A.ll I ask is that you agree to sell100 acres /01' 11S,' nothing less than 5

acres to one person, and in returntor your efforts you are to receive 10acres free and clear and share in theoil.

The same proposal is being put upto twenty people. 1/ you wish to getin on this you must act quickly.Yours very truly,

(Signed): S. O. Penrod.

Question the "Come On"Mr. Penrod is the National Association

of Sporting Goods Manufacturers. Hisheadquarters are at 140 North Dearbornstreet, Chicago. Some manufacturers sub-scribe to his collection and credit reportingassociation but, as far as the pros' possibleinference that this Michigan oil deal hasthe endorsement of the manufacturers,the assumption is without any basis offact, It is quite a tribute to the procredit standing that the boys should bepicked as a solvent and inviting group,known by the cynical as "the sucker list."

Penrod, as operator of a credit infor-mation bureau ought to have fair informa-tion about the pros' financial standing, butin selecting the pros for a good going-over, thinking that the name of the "as-sociation" would establish a confidencenot warranted, Penrod obviously is deepin the dark about the extent of pros' gul-libility.

The reference to a selected twenty beingAllah's anointed to whom the golden gateof opportunity is being held wide open,does not seem, from available evidence,to he just the sort of accuracy one wouldexpect from a man who should be ratherconfined to the facts by the preclsion ofdollars and cents constantly' before himin his daily credit work Those who haveasked GOLFDOM to look into the matterindicate that a rather general and indis-criminate circularization has been thepractice. One of the letters forwarded toGOLFDOM was addressed to a pro at anaddress a year old. That's not what we'dcall a sign of very careful selection of justtwenty lucky guys who just have to sell100 acres of Michigan oil (?) land, andthen play golf simply for a pastime, not

Point club, Mamaroneck, N. Y., was electedpresident to succeed Frank Murray ofRavisloe C. C., Homewood, Ill., Murrayhaving filled out the term of J. BarkerSmith who died in the Cleveland clinicdisaster.

The greater part of the sessions was de-voted to association management affairsand extemporaneous discussions. Threescheduled addresses were delivered. GeorgeD. Fish spoke on the relation of the man-ager to the board of directors. B. F. Mc-Carthy, marketing specialist of the Depart-ment of Agriculture, talked on meat gradestandards, and Theodore DeWitt of HotelHollenden, Cleveland, a former club man-ager, presented an address on operatingpolicies.

Outstanding work done at the conven-tion was the change in association by-laws and additional impetus given thework on a standardized method of club ac-counting. Instead of five regional vice-presidents as at present, the associattonwill have, after its next election, two vice-pre sid e n t s, with regional directorsappointed by the president. This changewas recommended by the Ways and Meanscommittee, H. 1. Dutton chairman. Pro-grams for future conventions will be madeby national officers instead of by local as-sociations. A committee to draw a code ofethics for club managers and to put it intooperation, was appointed at the conven-tion.

Study Meal ServiceWork of the restaurant committee of the

association was considered with the endin view of making this committee a valu-able aid to the club manager who is desir-ous of help with his menus. That the man-agers are having plenty of a problem withmeal service was evident in the remarksof Adolph Koenig, manager of the Fair-view C. C. Mr. Koenig told of the neces-sity of the manager keeping closest super-vision over the kitchen because of thedifficulty of getting good chefs. He alsotouched upon the work that might be donein seeing that good men were rightlyplaced in club jobs when they were avail-able.

To qualify managers in every respect forthe many phases of the work they haveunder their authority constitutes one ofthe important responsibilities of the Club I

Manager's association, said Tom Jones ofthe Harvard club, Boston, in discussing theeducational requirements of club managers.

Jones also figured later in the conventiontalk when he stressed the need of datingon canned goods. This comment followedMcCarthy's address on meat standards.

A lively program was staged during theoff hours of the convention. The conven-tioners attended a theater party at EarlCarroll's Sketch Book revue Tuesday eve-ning, concluding the nocturnal festivitiesby turning over the legit club managers'roll to the night club managers, which isin strict accord with mankind's merryritual.

Portland Prizes Its GolfPrestige

GOLF as a civic asset is talked about invague terms in a lot, but in Portland,

the Morning Oregonian comes out editor-ially in definite terms to cite the nationalpublicity brought to the city by the abilityof its golfers and the number of its courses.

In part the Oregonian's editorial says:"Some time ago a national golf magazine

printed as its opinion that Portland couldmake up a golf team of six men who coulddefeat a similar team from any other cityin the country, regardless of population.This high estimate of Portland golf isshared in substance by all who are fa-miliar with the ancient game. As a de-veloper of champions, few, if any, citiessurpass the record here.

"This leadership is due to' a popular in-terest in golf that is remarkable. Thephenomenal rise of the game in popularityhas nowhere else been more in evidence.C. P. Keyser, superintendent of parks, callsattention to the fact that there are noweighteen golf courses in. ~ultnomah countyor its environs in addttion to courses atMount Hood, Oregon City and Clarkcounty, which are played by .Po.rtlandpeople. The eighteen courses within .theimmediate district include three municipallinks seven which are privately owned,but ~pen to the publlc, and eight clubs.The eighteen courses have a tot~l of 306holes and all of them are heavIly used.On the municipal links in 1928 there wereplayed 272,248 nine-hole rounds. .

"Golf is the great popular game m Port-

land. It has not been many years since itwas regarded as a rich man's sport, but ithas been brought within the reach ofnearly everyone, especially on the munic-ipal and pubUc courses, where greens feesare not high. Wtith an automobile, on theaverage, for every family, it would bestrange if devotion to this outdoor pastimehad not increased as it has."
