DOLLARSPOT AND BROWNPATCH CONTROL ON RYEGRASS GREENS IN GEORGIA: Last winter on rye­
grass greens at the Sea Island Golf Club in Georgia, tests were made with tetramethyl 
thiuramdisulfide (available commercially under the trade name Thiosan) as a mercury 
substitute in control of dollarspot and brownpatch. During November and December all 
greens were treated with tetramethyl thiuramdisulfide at the rate of 1§ pounds to 
6,000 square feet as dollarspot appeared. This kept dollarspot fairly well in check. 
At the end of December, four greens were treated with a calomel-corrosive sublimate mix­
ture at 1 ounce to 1,000 square feet, applied dry and mixed with sand. The other greens 
were again treated with tetramethyl thiuramdisulfide at the original rate. As the 
season progressed no difference in results could be observed between greens treated with 
the mercury mixture and those treated with the mercury substitute. Both brownpatch and 
dollarspot had been held under reasonably good control in both cases. Later in January 
halves of two greens were treated with calomel at 1^ ounces to 1,000 square feet, dry 
mixed with sand, whereas the other halves were sprayed with the mercury at 1^ pounds to 
6,000 square feet. These comparative treatments were made in February and again in 
March as dollarspot and brownpatch became troublesome.

While these tests were not conclusive since applications were made at irregu­

lar intervals as disease attacks necessitated and labor permitted, they indicated 
equally as satisfactory results with the mercury substitute as with the mercury com­
pounds themselves. Although the disease was not completely controlled by these irreg- 
lar treatments, it was definitely kept in check, as evidenced by the fact that one 
practice green on the same course which received no fungicide treatment whatever became 
severely infected with dollarspot in December and, although reseeded, became reinfected 
and remained so for the rest of the season.

CURRENT REVISIONS OF RESTRICTIONS ON PESTICIDES: For the most part, the outlook for 1944 
supplies of such essential insecticides and fungicides as rotenone, arsenicals and mer­
cury is more promising than was that for 1943. It is expected that the rotenone sup­
plies will be somewhat larger as the production by the Latin-American countries is 
increased and therefore the list of uses for next year has been expanded, although it 
will still be necessary to use substitutes for many purposes. Although not available 
for use on turf., small sized packages will be available for the protection of Victory 
Garden crops. Nicotine, of which there is a greatly increased production, may be 
substituted for rotenone wherever possible. Other possible substitutes are Cryolite 
and lethane. The production of arsenate of lead has increased some 15 percent over 
last year but its use for the protection of such plants as turf grasses, shade trees, 
etc., will probably still be discouraged. The use of barium fluosilicate is being 
encouraged as a substitute for the arsenicals for poison baits. War Production 
regulations so far as mercury is concerned have become more liberal, the restrictions 
having been lifted from its use in the manufacture of agricultural disinfectants, 
insecticides and fungicides, except turf fungicides. The restrictions on the use of 
mercurials in the control of turf diseases, therefore, will still be effective. The 
situation so far as pyrethrum is concerned, however, will probably be more acute than 
last year, most of the year’s production being necessary for use by the armed services. 
Substitutes such as the organic thiocyanates and lethane will have to be used wherever 
possible in crop production.

CHARCOAL TREATMENTS ON GREENS: Numerous inquiries have been received as the result of 
the article which appeared in the June issue of TIMELY TURF TOPICS on the use of charcoal 
in putting green maintenance at the Canterbury Golf Club in Cleveland. For those who 
are interested in considering the adoption of some such treatment next spring in order to 
encourage deeper root growth, more detailed information regarding the type of charcoal 
used and the method of applying it are given here. This information has been obtained 
from "Mr. Franklin L. Miller of the Canterbury Golf Club.

The charcoal which was used so successfully at Canterbury was a wood charcoal 
manufactured by the Cleveland Charcoal Supply Company. It was a product which had been 
sifted through a 30-mesh screen. From 80 to 110 pounds per 1,000 square feet have been 
used at Canterbury in each treatment.

As indicated in the previous article (see TIMELY TURF TOPICS for June, 1943) 
the greens were spiked by the use of forks made with 6 hollow tines 4j inches long and 
7/16-inch in diameter, spaced 2 inches apart. After the greens were spiked the charcoal 
was applied by means of a home-made device consisting of a tin filler box 12 inches long, 
8 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. Holes were drilled in the bottom of the box and hollow 
tines identical in size with those of the fork and spaced at the same distance apart 
were attached. A metal slide, one end of which extended 3 inches from the end of the 
box, served as an operating handle. Holes were drilled through this slide and spaced to 
conform with the spacing of the hollow tines themselves. When the holes in this slide 
were superimposed on the hollow tines the charcoal could escape into the tines and con­
sequently pass into the holes in the green. When the holes were filled the slide was 
pushed back, thereby closing the tine holes. The man with this filler box followed the 
operator with the spiking fork and allowed only enough charcoal to enter the tine holes 
to come within J./4 to 1/2 inch of the surface of the green.

It has been estimated that 48 man hours are required to apply this treatment 

to a green of 6,000 square feet. Although at Canterbury complete treatments were given 
in the fall, they did not hesitate at any time during the season when necessity of the 
treatment was indicated, to treat high spots which dried out during the summer months 
or low spots where moisture tended to accumulate. No evidence of any toxicity to the 
grass as a result of the use of this type of charcoal was observed.

PAMPHIETS ON CARE OF MOTOR-DRIVEN EQUIPMENT: Now that the lifetime of motor-operated 
machines must be extended to the limit it is important to follow expert advice in the 
care and repair of such equipment. Recognizing the need for information and recommenda­
tions regarding the care and repair of motor vehicles, the Office of Defense Transporta­
tion has published a series of exceedingly helpful, well illustrated pamphlets on 
various phases of the subject. These have been'prepared for the Office of Defense 
Transportation by the Society of Automotive Engineers and any or all of the series may 
be obtained from the Office of Defense Transportation, 1147 New Post Office Building, 
Washington, D. C.; from any of the 143 district offices of the Office of Defense Trans­
portation, Division of Motor Transport; or from regional offices of the ODT, Office of 
Information. At this time of year attention of our readers may well be drawn particu­
larly to the 34-page pamphlet entitled, "Cooling System: Cleaning, Flushing, Rust Pre­
vention, and Antifreeze.” The pamphlet is divided into 7 sections, each of which is 
well illustrated by drawings and photographs. The sections include such subjects as, 
"Routine Maintenance of Cooling System,” "Diagnosis of Overheating and Overcooling,” 
"Cooling-System Corrosion and its Prevention,” "Characteristics of Different Types of 
Antifreeze," etc.

Other pamphlets which may be of interest in connection with the maintenance 

of trucks, tractors, etc., are: "Pistons to Fit Reconditioned Cylinders," "Reconditioning 
Brake Drums, Limits and Tolerances," "Hard-Surfacing Applications and Techniques," 
"Cold Welding," and "Preventive Maintenance and Inspection Procedure." This is the 
time to obtain concise statements of vital information regarding the most efficient 
maintenance of motor-driven equipment which will be equally as useful in the economical 
operation of golf courses after the war as at present.

IDENTITY OF CREEPING BENT STRAINS PLANTED ON EXPERIMENTAL GREENS: During 1939 and 1940 
the Green Section established a series of 40 experimental greens (see TIMELY TURF 
TOPICS, June, 1940, page 2), locating them in as many as possible of the leading golf 
areas where bents will grow. The objective of these plantings was to test the relative 
merits under various climatic conditions of some of the vegetative strains of creeping 
bent which had given most promise on the turf garden at the Arlington Experiment Farm.
For comparison purposes there was included on each experimental green along 

with numerous of the Green Section strains one or more commercial vegetative strains 
as well as one or more strains which are regularly propagated by seed. All of the 
strains including the standard commercial ones were referred to by key numbers in order 
to avoid any partiality in scoring the different grasses.

At the time the greens were established, cooperating clubs were promised that 

after 3 years of ratings were recorded the identity of the strains would be disclosed. 
Several clubs have requested the identity of the strains this summer and have indicated 
that if this information were available it would be easier to interest golfers in 
rating the plantings. It has therefore seemed advisable at this time to include in the 
accompanying table the origin of all Green Section selections as well as the identity 
of the commercial strains used on any of the experimental greens.

FOUR YEARS OF TIMELY TURF TOPICS: Since May, 1940, 22 issues have been published. As a 
result of the many changes in personnel incident to the nation’s ’’all-out” war effort it 
is probable that many who are now responsible for the maintenance of turf under these try­
ing conditions will not be acquainted with the information available in TIMELY TURF 
TOPICS. For this reason it seemed advisable at this time to publish an index to the in­
formation which thus far has appeared in this medium. Every member club of the United 
States Golf Association receives two copies of each issue from the Green Section. In 
order that the two people in each club who are most interested and primarily concerned 
with the turf on the course may receive the current copies as they are issued, it is hoped 
that all member clubs will inform the Green Section of any changes in such personnel. Back 
copies of all numbers are still available and can be obtained at a cost of $1.00 a year.
