His with arsenicals main subject was “ Agriculture and the Environment.” Did you know there are 10,000 kinds of insects found on golf courses and some 1,500 different diseases. People are our biggest problem. Man is the endangered species. What would we do without pesticides? About half of our population couldn’t survive without the use of pesticides to protect our farm crops.

Even the tap water from your home faucet that appears crystal clear contains these minerals. The percentage and type of these j harmful minerals varies from well to well and stream to stream, but they I all contain harmful minerals and solu- | ble salts to some extent. Rain water > in surface drainage to streams and ( ponds or in deep penetration for well supplies, dissolves and absorbs the I soil minerals. Rain water itself con- j tains carbon dioxide gases which \ form bi carbonate compounds of the I soils contacted. Every State and ; Federal Geological Water Survey re- | port gives the prediction that “ All Irrigated Soils Will in Time Have a | Soluble Salts Problem.” Bi carbonate ( mineral forms are strongly absorbed on soil particles and since growing grass plants cannot absorb them for growth, each irrigation season adds to the previous year’ s accumulation i in the soil. Sewerage, detergents and indus­ trial wastes dumped into the streams further reduces the quality and purity of the water. Stream travel of five 1 miles, at one time considered ample to oxidize sewerage is no longer sufficient due to the chemical wastes and detergents. Pollution of this type is practiced in every section of the country according to the United States Department of the Interior. Well waters too, have deteriorated due to higher mineral content. Water tables that should be maintained by rainfall against the amount withdrawn to keep lowest mineral content, have been increased use of water in almost all areas. Mineral bi carbonates cases have doubled in the past 10 years. lowered by in many Hydrology Survey findings show that the water tables have lowered to the extent that much of the water being used in the Middle West today is 100 years old.

If at any time there is evidence that the supply of water is damaging to existing turf such water should be tested immediately.” MSU FIELD DAY big housing and Turf-grass Experts in turf-grass maintenance frequently mention the role of irriga­ tion water in establishing a healthy turf. However, the usual emphasis is on water as a solvent for chemical compounds in the soil, or as a trans­ porter of nutrients within plants or as a prerequisite for metabolism and nor­ mal growth of grasses. Seldom con­ sidered are ingredients and chemical compounds applied to lawns in irri­ gation water. Yet, these compounds, having once reached a certain degree of concentration in the soil, may critically influence the general soil environment and the growth of grasses. facilities are usually around cities. Golf located courses, for example, are often es­ tablished on small running waters or near artificial to provide a variety of playing conditions, pretty scenery - and irrigation water. Very often overlooked is the fact that newly developed industrial plants in the area may cause the water used for irrigation to become polluted with wastes, salts and detergent resi­ dues. Repeated application of such water may lead to accumulation of harmful chemicals in the soil. Thus, in many instances, the turf problems of a golf course around a big city may be intimately associated with irriga­ tion water. Lake Michigan water for instance has the content of Epsom Salt close to the minimum acceptable standard. lakes Potentially harmful effects or irri­ gation water have been acknowledged by several scientists and research stations. It has been pointed out that if soil and climatic conditions (such as high temperature, soil moisture and humidity) are favorable, then “ ....The fungi known to be most dam­ aging to grasses subsist in dead or­ ganic matter such as mat and thatch OVERW ATERING C A U S E S G R A S S W ILT fr o m G R O U N D S M A I N T E N A N C E , M a r c h 1 9 6 9 the it grass, Speaking at Too much water and too much fer­ tilizer often cause grass wilt, says Harry Meusel of Yale University. first Delaware Turfgrass Conference, Meusel ex­ plained that wilt occurs when grasses lose more moisture than they absorb. Since heavily watered grass has about twice as many surface pores as lightly watered loses moisture faster and wilts sooner in hot weather. intensity also affect wilting, he said. At tem­ peratures below 70 degrees F., very little wilting occurs. While above 70 degrees F., wilt increases rapidly, especially in heavily watered grass. Light intensity, which affects size of surface pores, also influences wilt­ in shaded areas wilt ing. Grasses more in bright sunny sites. Temperature and slowly than those light Because more water evaporates fer­ from plants after tilizer be avoided during the wilting season, Meusel pointed out. fertilization, should applications The best safeguard against wilting is a strong root system. Here again, heavily watered grass can be a prob­ lem since root systems are usually short and stubby when moisture is readily available near the soil sur­ it face. Lightly watered grass has long, thin roots that reach deep into the soil making less susceptible to wilting. Application of a phenol mercuric acetate solution will also help pro­ tect grass from wilting by closing the leaf pores, Meusel added. MBCGCSA PICNIC The annual picnic was held on July 31st at Burroughs Farm. It was a great day for a picnic as the eighty people, including 37 children, who attended can attest. We are greatful for the planning and arrangements made by George Prieskom, host Superintendent and Chairman, Clem Wolfrom and his helpers who handled the kid’ s games, namely Gordie Lafontaine and his wife Eilene. The annual picnic seems to be picking up interest. Each year it gets better than the last. When another day has arrived, we will find that we have consumed our yesterday’ s tomorrow; another morrow will urge on our years, and still be a little beyond us. - Persius Algae: The Spoiler CUTRINE 7 mI I Be free of the odor, scum and harm ful effects of algae.

C o . Watering practices are related to clipping height and frequency be­ cause of the influence of clipping on root development. Mowing is not a simple operation to be regarded merely as a means of removing excess growth. Mowing is a management practice essential to a satisfactory playing surface. Mowing practices are related to the species and strain of turfgrass being grown. The inherent characteristics of the plant determine the height to which it may be cut. Mowing is the most time consuming of all management prac­ tices and has far reaching affects on the longevity of any turfgrass area. To use water properly requires an understanding of the fundamental role water plays in plant growth; of the they rates; how effects climate and weather have on growth influence water use rates and choice of grass. Good watering practices demand a knowledge of the basic physical and chemical soil properties, how they effect water absorption, storage and drainage as well as the frequency, rate and manner in which water must be applied. such basic Further, proper use of water means information correlating with the requirements for play, for mowing and other management prac­ tices and programming a watering schedule to fit the existing irrigation facilities, so as to make the most efficient use of them and the availa­ ble labor force.

M EET THE BOARD This month we’re featuring Director Superintendent of Clem Wolfrom, Detroit Golf Club. in present Clem was actually born into the game of golf - his birthplace was in the day Clubhouse of Maple Lane Golf Club. He for began working wages 1948. After g r a d u a t i o n from high school he e n t e r e d MSU in 1951. His graduation in 1956 in the school of Ornamental Horticulture was followed by his acceptance as Assistant Golf Course Superintendent to Mr. Phillipson, the Superintendent of Dearborn Country Club. In March of 1957 Clem became the Superintendent of Dearborn CC. This position was short lived be­ cause Clem went into the service in September, 1957. In March of 1958 he returned to Dearborn as Superin­ tendent until in March of 1962 to accept the position of Golf Course Superintendent of the Detroit Golf Club. leaving After serving on the local Board in several capacities he became Presi­ dent of the Michigan and Border Cities Golf Course Superintendents Association in 1967 and was re­ elected in 1968. Clem is presently on the Board of Directors of the Michigan Turfgrass Foundation and a past Director of the Midwest Regional Turf Founda­ tion at Purdue University. Golf and deer hunting are Clem’ s hobbies. He resides in Troy with his wife, Jan, and their two children. Don’ t apologize for being yourself. Just be sure you are the best person you can possibly be. There’ s no reason why you shouldn’t be proud of yourself if you work with concern and purpose, and strive for high values. - Walter MacPeek 13 P R O B L E M S at "Your Patch of Green” ?

Using the rays of the sun as its source of energy, grass synthesizes carbon dioxide, water and minerals to promote green growth. In the process, it takes pollutants from the air, filters out dust particles, and gives off oxygen in return. In fact, actively growing grass on a 50 by 50 ft. plot releases enough oxygen to meet the needs of a family of four, day by day. The world needs more such greenery.
