Oregon Compost Heap

The Thatch Patch

By Jim C h a p m a n

B y Dick M a l p a s s
T h e O r e g o n Golf C o u r s e Superintendent s A s s o c iation meetings for December and J a n u a r y are a s
follows; December 8, C o l w o o d Golf Course, Portland,
Dr. Arnold Appleby from O r e g o n S t a t e University
will speak on " P r o p e r weed control." H e will also
give information on surfactants and spreader stickers.
W i l b u r Bluhm, Agricultural Extension A g e n t from
Marion C o u n t y and W i l l a r d Lighty, Extension A g e n t
from Multnomah C o u n t y will also be on the program
and speak on problem solving a s it applies to weed
control. T o be covered will be mode of action of
chemicals and plants, pre-emerge vs. post emerge,
and spring control vs. fall control of weeds.
T h e January 10 O G C S A meeting will be at E u g e n e
Country Club. T h e assistant dean of F o r e s t r y from
O r e g o n S t a t e University will be speaking on the
subject of proper care of trees on golf courses.
November has been a wet, relatively warm, month.
T h e excessive rainfall has somewhat
complicated
normal golf course maintenance work for this time
of year. T h e incidence of F u s a r i u m patch has been
rather high because of the wet cloudy weather.
I s a w the ultimate on the Ecological - Environmental binge today. A g a r b a g e truck crossed the
street in front of me and on the side of the truck
in large letters were the w o r d s S A N I T A T I O N R E L O C A T I O N E X P E R T . O n e last bit of humor comes
from a sign we saw in C h i c a g e recently. " M e m o r y
is what keeps a good chaperone a w a k e . "

I am pleased to a d d to the T u r f g r a s s T o p i c s a new
and, hopefully, permanent column entitled " T H E
T H A T C H P A T C H . " Jim Chapman, from the O . M .
Scott C o m p a n y , has generously agreed to collect information for publication from around W a s h i n g t o n .
T h i s column was previously handled by Bill Strahl
and John C a r p e r but has lapsed for several years.
Byron Reed has generously written the O r e g o n C o m post H e a p for many years and somewhere in between
Byron Reed and Dick M a l p a s s we hope to keep the
Compost H e a p coming along with news from O r e g o n .
W e shall look forward to Jim C h a p m a n ' s column
on a regular basis. . . . E d .

A guy traveling around a s much a s 1 do h a s a
chance to see and hear some interesting things. Cliff
Everhart has solved a tree root competition problem
on several of the Manito Golf and Country C l u b
greens with 16 ga. steel plate. W e l d e d 4' wide
sections into 50 to 120 ' lengths and placed in slit
trenches between greens and trees. Still working well
after over 18 years.
O n the same trip found that Herb Brown, S u p e r intendent at W a n d e m e r e Golf Club in S p o k a n e , is
recuperating from a leg operation. Last year this
time, Herb was a proud new papa. W h a t will you
do next fall, Herb? Nice that he can schedule these
things for after the season.
Further south L e R o y H o u g h intrigued me with his
method of fairway fertilizing at the S w a l l o w s N e s t
Golf C o u r s e in Clarkston-by airplane. M a y b e something there for cemeteries and parks, too. Forest
products companies have been doing it for years.
T h i s new M a n h a t t a n r y e g r a s s continues to impress.
I remember the 5 yard wide strip across the Columbia
River High School football field in Vancouver, W a .
O f all places, right at the 50 y a r d line and shrugging
off the wet fall play a s if there hadn't been any.

Community C o l l e g e is repeating its popular turf equipment course. E d Jennings, superintendent at S n o homish Golf C o u r s e , is the instructor a g a i n . K e e p
up the good work you guys. Let's get more of these
winter educational p r o g r a m s going.
Those ot you that visitea or piaycu W e s t w a r d
W e s t Golf C o u r s e while at the conference in Y a k i m a
didn't n e e d . t o stop for lunch, did you? A p p l e s and
pears in bountifulness. W h i l e the rest of you fight
fall leaves. Bob C y r , the W . W . Supt., and his crew
pick apples. Y o u get a free lift if your ball rolls
under an apple bin.
S e e you next trip. . .
Jim C h a p m a n

D o u g W e d d l e is wondering what is causing the
yellow rings in his T u m w a t e r V a l l e y greens. T h i s
new Olympia Brewing C o m p a n y course is showing
circles similiar to Fusarium Roseum or F a i r y Ring.
N o , not Ophiobolus Patch. In fact, no organisms can
be cultured which are known pathogens or fungi.
F u n n y o r a n g e color in thatch under the rings.
South Seattle Community College has started a
turf maintenance course under S t e v e N o r d . Bellevue

Louis Smith
Louis Smith, father of Arnie Smith, who is the
present Superintendent of the E l k s Allenmore Golf
C o u r s e in T a c o m a , passed a w a y at the O r c h a r d Park
Convelescent H o m e i n T a c o m a on October 26, 1971
at the a g e of 72. Louis w a s born in N a s S w e d e n
April 23, 1899, and w a s one of nine children. H e
left Sweden on F e b r u a r y 24, 1923 and sailed for
N e w Y o r k on the ship Drottingholm with a brother
and sister and landed in N e w Y o r k on M a r c h 14,
1923. T h e fare for the p a s s a g e at that time w a s $500,
which is about the same price a s it is today. A t that
time they had to pay a head tax of $8 at Ellis Island
N . Y . before they could continue on their journey
b y train to T a c o m a where a second cousin lived.

Henry W. Land
T h e last rites were given for Henry W . L a n d S r .
at the V a l l e y Chapel at Mountain V i e w Cemetery
on S a t u r d a y , N o v e m b e r 6, 1971. H e n r y p a s s e d a w a y
on W e d n e s d a y , N o v e m b e r 3, 1971.
H e n r y began his work in the t u r f g r a s s industry
in about 1925. H e w a s active in the construction of
golf courses and particularly on S a n d Point Golf
a n d C o u n t r y Club in Seattle. H e n r y left the turfg r a s s business for brief periods of time between 1925
a n d 1950 but a l w a y s returned to the business of
growing g r a s s .

Louis worked at the G r e g o r y furniture factory in
T a c o m a for awhile and then went on to logging
jobs in the w o o d s . H e married Inez in 1928. S h e
p a s s e d a w a y in 1950 and Louis never remarried.
H e started into the golf course business at the
T a c o m a Country and Golf C l u b in 1925 and worked
there until he retired in 1965. Louis w a s superintendent of the T a c o m a Country and Golf Club at the
time that H e n r y L a n d came. D u e to his wife's ill
health, Louis could not a s s u m e the responsibilities
of superintendent and asked to step down and work
a s an assistant for Henry.

Prior to taking over the superintendent's position
at T a c o m a Country and Golf Club, Henry served
in the capacity of both superintendent and m a n a g e r
of Longview Golf and Country C l u b at Longview,
Washington.
H e became the superintendent of T a c o m a Country
a n d Golf C l u b in 1950. H e n r y joined the T u r f g r a s s
Association in 1951 where he became treasurer until
1961. In September 1962, H e n r y w a s elected president of the Association a n d served for one year in
that capacity.

A f t e r 1965, Louis found that he did not like being
retired so went to work for his son at the E l k s Allenmore Golf C o u r s e in M a r c h of 1966 and stayed
until his health failed in July of 1970.
Ed. Note.- . . . Louis Smith w a s one of these dedicated
golf course employees who w a s a l w a y s somewhat
in the background. T h e r e never w a s a more dependable or trustworthy superintendent or assistant who
w a s more concerned about the well-being of a golf
course than Louis Smith. His forty years at the
T a c o m a Country and Golf Club is evidence of his
love and dedication for this type of work. Strangely
enough, Louis Smith p a s s e d a w a y about one week
before H e n r y L a n d S r .

H e n r y worked diligently with a number of turfg r a s s association people in helping to establish the
association a s a non-profit corporation, exempt from
federal taxes. T h i s took a lot of time and money
but w a s finally accomplished. In addition to his duties
a s treasurer and president, H e n r y also served a s
chairman of the Research Committee on two different
occasions over the years.
W i t h o u t a doubt, Henry w a s a class A golf course
superintendent and helped to improve the image of
all golf course superintendents and to a d v a n c e the
profession beyond the s t a g e of " g r e e n s keeping."
T a c o m a Country and Golf C l u b w a s a l w a y s groomed
to a degree of perfection.

PACIFIC AGRO COMPANY

H e n r y actively retired from the golf course in 1968
at the a g e of 62. H i s health w a s failing at that time
a n d he decided he could not keep up with this full
time pursuit, however, he remained with the golf
club a s a part-time consultant.

Balance of Nature Never Was

the

E v e r y o n e today is vastly concerned with his environment. E c o l o g y , a new word to the vocabulary of
many, has become an important focal point today.
T h e t u r f g r a s s industry requires considerable amounts
of pesticides to control weeds, diseases, insects and
soil-born organisms. Fertilizers are necessary to grow
good turf but all of these things are under close
scrutiny by environmentalists. 1 just thought you might
be interested in a brief article reprinted from the
National Agricultural Chemicals Association news
letter which gives another view of this subject.
Dr. Norman E . Borlaug, who recently won the
Nobel Peace Prize for his wheat breeding program
to feed underdeveloped countries, talks about the so
called " b a l a n c e of nature" while in N e w York recently. H e said that a s an ecologist, forester, and
scientist, he never observed nature being in balance
with anything. Rather, he said it had been his experience that nature dealt in one excess after another.
T o o much rain, too little rain, drought, forest fires,
volcanic eruptions, disease, starvation and a host of
other violent actions by nature, which he has observed
in his world travels, have convinced him that any
" b a l a n c e " on the part of nature is simply another
fairy tale. ( T h a t is putting it pretty straight. E d . )
