Reporter Participation In Education and Education by Participation The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America’s “ Code of Ethics” states that a member pledges to: every “ Utilize opportunity to extend my professional knowledge in order to my e m p l o y e r s , my industry and my profession.” increase my value The time has come for us to ask ourselves, “ What have I done the past year to better myself and the know­ ledge of my profession?” to Or ask yourself these questions: in the local 1. How much do I read and what type of material do I select? 2. Have I participated superintendent or turfgrass meeting? 3. Have I attended as many con­ ferences, clinics, and shows as I could have? 4. Have I taken any college, exten­ sion or other type of courses to improve my overall knowledge? 5. How much experimenting have I participated in during the past year? 6. If I have a problem, do I go to a recognized authority for advice? 7. How many people have I trained? Are they presently employed by a golf course? 8. Do approach my career and responsibilities with an open mind and a willingness to learn? I Kuan Tze in 400 A.D. said, “ If your plan is for one year, plant rice; if your plan is for ten years, plant trees; if your plan is for 100 years, educate men.” Obviously, the GCSAA and the RMGCSA are planning for the future, because during last couple of years, they have added and introduced the this the Certification Program, and are up-grading the education programs, Both of these steps are and promise to1 be great assets to our profession. But training, educating, retraining and re-educating do not begin on the, national level. They begin AT HOME because is where opportunities5 for improvements are. All that remains for us to do is to accept these many opportunities. With respect to training, Patrick Williams, former director of education1 of the Professional Golfers Associa­ tion of America, said it best at the 41st International Turfgrass Com ference and Show: “ Training is a learning situation where you protect your profession by helping others to become as proficient as you are. It is an obligation you owe> to your profession. Someone did it for you at one time so you must do it for others. Their ability, whether you like, it or not, reflects on your ability.” newsletters, If we do not participate in meetings; conferences, the like - how will our p r o fe s s i o n a l 1 associations continue? How will our, profession better itself, and how will we better our own positions? Educa* tion by participation the bes^ answer - for yourself, for your asso­ ciations, and for your profession is> the answer. and As Pat Williams so rightly stated,' “ What do you people (GCSAA) have to sell as an organization? One thing anc one thing only - professional standing which is an image of capability. And there’s just one way to do this. Train educate, retrain, reeducate.” is Tom J. Rogers, CGCS | New Pest Discovered in Ohio Golf Courses There is no common name. They are resistant to Chlordane, Dioldrin and Aldrin. There has been some control from Diazinon or Dylox or Proxol. Egg laying takes place in low wet areas in April. The season’s life cycle is, eggs in spring, grub or larva in summer, pupa in late July or early August. Adult beetle early part of August. Ed. Note: This cycle is known in the C h i c a g o area and was first noticed in 1975 on golf courses in the Chicago area on Poa annua and bent- grass turf. It also has been observed in the southern part of Illinois in 1974. We have confirmed the identification of a small grubworm that has literally destroyed thousands of square feet of Poa annua and bent grass turf in in southern Ohio. Dr. golf courses Harry D. Niemczyk, turf research entomologist at our Wooster Agricul­ tural Research and Development Center, collected some of the grubs and sent them to Washington, D. C. to be identified. The identification came spretulus. The back beetle has no common name. as Ataenius I first came in contact with the grub in July of 1973 when one of our golf course s u p e r i n t e n d e n t s in Cincinnati called and said his whole course was full of brown patches. I went down and sure enough there were brown patches ranging in size from a golf ball to a square yard. In lifting up the dead area I could count as many as 50 grubs per square inch - yes, per square inch. I’ve never seen that many grubs in one place in my whole life. Since it was July, I thought that these grubs were probably newly hatched Jap. beetles, or northern masked chafers. Our attempts to rear them were unsuccessful. For control measures, I suggested to the superin­ tendent that the course be treated with diazinon right away and aldrin in the early spring. This was done and control was obtained in the fall of 1973. This summer I got another call from the same superintendent indi­ cating the grubs were back again. The aldrin should have killed them. This time Dr. Niemczyk went down in July adults, pupae, and and the adults with grubs. He sprayed Sevin, diazinon, and aldrin in the laboratory to check for resistance and also these materials would do against them. They were highly resistant to aldrin, but easily killed by the other two materials. to see what collected Dr. Niemczyk has reviewed the literature and has told me that there is very little known about Ataenius spretulus. In fact, he found only 2 papers on the subject. One dated back to the late 1800’s. He indicates that there is probably one generation a year. They overwinter as adults in debris such as grass piles and other such materials. In the spring, they come out of hibernation, lay their eggs turf and by mid-late July emerge as adults. What they do from August on isn’t quite clear. We don’t know if the adults feed, or what they do. It seems that Poa annua and bent grass are their favorite foods. How­ ever, Dr. Niemczyk did find them in bluegrass. in Richard L.

A hybrid, named “ Urban Elm,” will be avail­ able in limited supply in about three years. It is resistant to Dutch elm disease which has spread throughout the American elm’s natural range since the 1930’s. Scientists at the ARS Shade Tree and Ornamental Plants Laboratory, Delaware, Ohio, developed Urban elm from a cross between an elm from the (Ulmus hollandica var. Netherlands vegeta X Ulmus carpinifolia) and a Siberian elm. The new tree is expected to grow to moderate size, making it more suitable for urban planting than the American elm, according to plant pathologist, Dr. Charles L. Wilson. Like the American elm, the new hybrid grows fast in various soil types, has dark green foliage, and is tolerant to drought, pollution, soil compaction, and restricted root space. locations where In the fall, Urban elm offers the promise of a striking appearance, because it is adapted, the tree retains its foliage and dark green color longer than other trees. The new hybrid has a profuse upright branching habit and its dense foliage produces a compact crown. A team began developing Urban elm in 1956, crossing parent trees to obtain seedlings that proved capable of withstanding inoculations of the fungus, Ceratocystis ulmi, which causes Dutch elm disease. Then came years of propagation and seasonal susceptibility trials in which plants grown from cuttings were inoculated with strains of fungi at various times of the year. in for adaptability For the past two years, under an agreement with ARS, wholesale? nurserymen have been testing the tree further to various climatic conditions. The agreement the nurserymen prescribes propagate elms in sufficient numbers to insure that they will be available to other nurserymen before commercial trade begins. that the ARS plant s c i e n t i s t s at the Delaware laboratory are developing* more hybrid elms that may be released within a few years. About six different elm selections including two American, elms, have moderate to high resis­ tance to Dutch elm disease, according1 to plant pathologist, Dr. Lawrence R, Schreiber. vary claims could be made Plant geneticist, Dr. Alden M,i that physical Townsend, char acteristics substantially among elms in the breeding program, Some into shrubs, Others may grow from seed to heights, of 15 feet w i t h i n three years. A Chinese elm, with a deep red colora­ tion, and a columnar shape elm hafs been developed. This tree might be used to replace Lombardi poplar which is susceptible to cankers and may die w i t h i n about eight y e a r s after1 planting. A. J.

Scientists don’t have all the details, but they know excessive use of insecticides causes tests where thatch builds up, there is an absence of worms. thatch. In all Do worms feed on the dead clip­ pings and plant surplus to control thatch or are they merely bystanders? Scientists don’t know for sure. untreated surrounding But they do know that two applica­ tions of chlordane or dieldrin a year caused thatch to appear in two years, while turf remained free of thatch and seething researchers also with worms. The tested short-lived pesticides like carbaryl and diazinon, applying them twice a year during a 3-year study. These pesticides didn’t cause thatch and had little influence on numbers of worms in the soil.

If there were no USGA, where would clubs and individuals turn for guidance and leadership? Chaos would prevail, with resulting decrease in pleasure and increase in expense for golfers. Every club or course owes it to itself and its members to insure that a central a u t h o r i t y for golf continue to exist. USGA membership by every other club or course can do just that. The USGA’s benefits and services extend to all golfers, clubs and courses, whether or not they are members. As examples, non-member clubs print on their score cards that “ USGA Rules Govern Play” ; they use their own m e mb e r s with provide “ USGA Handicaps” ; they do not hesitate to write or call when a ruling or other information is needed; and greenkeeping practices they d e v e l o p e d by the USGA Green Section through years of experimen­ tation. Such clubs can avail them­ selves of these and other benefits thanks to the concern and generosity of our dues-paying membership. But, fortunately, most clubs and courses j are eager to participate. The spirit that motivated the USGA founders is alive and growing. As more clubs and courses take an active part in USGA activities, the Association is able to increase its effectiveness. . . thus increasing the benefits to all golfers, clubs and courses.
