UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. has applied the lessons of cord tire construc-tion to golf course hose in a successful effort to offset harsh treatment hose gets in course maintenance. Results of this work feature the golf course hose US pre-sents for 1936 budgets.

J. A. Muller, of the company's hose di-vision, names as leading features of this manufacturing development: a substantial increase in burst resistance, increased re-sistance to external abuse, increased flex-ibility, and greater strength and durability at couplings.

Spiral cord sheathings, running in op-posite directions to balance strain, are en-veloped in rubber sheathings in a manner that produces a close and enduring bond between the component parts, says Muller. Obviously this construction calls for mul-tiples of two plies. Over all a sturdy cov-ering of rubber is applied-

Especially proud of the US golf hose performance this year is the San Fran-cisco branch of the company which sold the hose into the service of leading clubs in that section. In the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys where summer tem-peratures are extremely high, the hose has stood up splendidly despite the injury that hot water usually does to golf hose. •

Four prominent Cleveland clubs, Canter-bury, Acacia, Oakwood and Shaker Heights, report that with automatic coal stokers, not only are fuel costs lowered, but also heat is more uniform. Members find their clubhouses comfortable during the cold months. The smoke nuisance is eliminated.

Elmer E. Heasley, Jr., pres., Acacia, re-ports "a 51 per cent reduction in fuel costs without any temperature correc-tions. The installation has given us ex-

treme satisfaction; we have plenty of hot water and even temperatures at all times".

E. B. Roberts, pres., Canterbury, states his club's stoker has reduced fuel costs about 25 per cent. One advantage noted is that it has enabled the firemen to de-vote more time to other work in the club-house.

R. D. Clark, pres., Shaker Heights, re-ports: "From February 1, 1932, to Febru-ary 1, 1933, we used hand-fired coal at a cost of $984.64 and gas for hot water for kitchen, laundry, etc., at $1,516.40; total $2,501.04.

"After the installation of an Iron Fire-man stoker on February 1, 1933, we used from that date to February 1, 1934, coal at cost of $663.20 and gas at $707.97; to-tal $1,370.99, or a net saving of $1,130.05 for the year. This was accomplished by the installation of an indirect hot water heater and the remaining gas is now used for steam tables in the kitchen. The above figures represent a 45 per cent cut in our fuel cost, and it is needless to say that we are very well pleased with our instal-lation."

• THE KALO CO., QUINCY, ILL., has a

development in insecticides which should be of interest to greenkeepers. J. W. Lusk, president, advises:

"We have found a way of greatly in-creasing the insect toxicity of Kaloil, our concentrated pyrethrum insecticide, and tests made during this past season on golf greens for sod webworm showed that, as fa r as we could tell, Kaloil was superior to other pyrethrum sprays for this purpose, and was somewhat more economical to use.

"Our best results came with Kaloil at a dilution of 1 to 600, using 100 gals, to each 1,000 sq. ft . of green. Very effective and satisfactory results were secured when a smaller amount was used, in fact much

better than would normally be expected, but this would be our recommendation.

"Kaloil is a special type of pyrethrum insecticide in which is incorporated a patented oxidized sulfonated oil spreader which energizes the pyrethrum, is active in itself, and give much better coverage and penetration than when pyrethrum is used with soap or with saponified oils. For general purposes with plants, Kaloil can be relied upon to kill any insect on con-tact at the proper dilution, and is non-poisonous."

€> A feature of many club buffet luncheons

that will grow in use next season is the WILSON & CO. new line of vacuum-cooked luncheon meats, known as Wilson's "Lasting Flavour products". They are packed mostly in 6-lb. net oblong tins, which makes sandwich-size slices.

The line consists of 30 items such as brisket beef, hams, fancy sulze, pork and ox tongue, boneless pork hocks, chi'"> pork tidbits, spiced beef and canned chicken. These delectable prepared meats are highly economical because there is ab-solutely no waste and no additional cook-ing is required, and they are a "friend in need" to managers when an unexpected rush of hungry golfers occurs. Because there's no advance preparation necessary, there's no loss if the weather turns bad and the crowd doesn't show.

• MARTIN DENNIS CO., 859 SUMMER

AVE., NEWARK, N. J., makes Lexol leather conditioner which has been getting a good play at eastern golf clubs this summer. The preparation preserves and restores leather. Golf shoes treated with Lexol after being worn through the wet don't dry stiff. Grips, golf bags and gloves treated with the material retain softness and resist the tendency to glaze or to scuff or scale on the surface. Cost is low so the Lexol proposition has gone over well as a new service at pro shops and in locker-rooms.

• Greenkeepers have been watching with

more than ordinary interest startling ex-periments with the so-called 'rare ele-ments" in fertilizer being made by soil technologists of the Department of Agri-culture. As a result of this work rare ele-ments that were formerly ignored have begun to assume vast importance and many fertilizer users and manufacturers are finding it necessary to recast their en-tire concept of fertilizer values.

The chemical analysis of Milorganite made for the MILWAUKEE SEWERAGE COMMISSION by the University of Wis-consin is probably the most detailed and thorough analysis of fertilizer ever made. This complete analysis was made from a

composite of hundreds of samples taken from 27,000 tons of Milorganite and showed that, in addition to organic nitro-gen, phosphoric acid, and potash, Milor-ganite is abundantly supplied with other common elements used by plants such as calcium, magnesium, sulphur and iron, as well as copper, manganese, lead, chrom-ium, titanium and other rare elements.

Soil analysis indicates that many so-called "poor" soils are deficient in one or more of the rare elements. Thus the use of Milorganite not only provides the com-monly accepted fertilizer elements, but also supplies the other less common and rare elements now recognized as being vital to healthy plant growth. This is one reason why Milorganite has been such a successful fertilizer.

The Sewerage Commission will gladly furnish a complete analysis of Milorganite to any interested Club or Greenkeeper. •

JACOBSEN MANUFACTURING CO., Racine, Wis., is enthusiastic over the per-formance of its new 20" and 24" Sturdex power mower, designed especially for mow-ing banks on greens, aprons, approaches and tees; in fact, to do all work on a golf course ordinarily done with hand mowers with the exception of mowing greens.

Makers claim the Sturdex is by f a r the easiest handling mower put out to date by any manufacturer for such hard work as mowing the sides of steep bunkers where it is almost impossible for an operator to walk. This machine is extremely light in weight, well balanced for traction, pow-ered with an engine that barely pulls the operator along, and can be furnished with either pneumatic or metal wheels. In ad-dition to the rough work on bunkers, it will cut tees as close as they should be cut. With the Sturdex one man can do all the hand mowing on the average 18-hole course in one day a week, it is stated.
