AN S WE R : Yes, fall is general-ly conceded a the logical time for majorfairway fertilization in the crab grabelt (from Philadelphia and Wa hingtonaero to t.

WithKentucky blue grass and other permanentgras e which spread by mean of rhizomes(underground stems), fall fertilization isespecially beneficial becau e rh .zome formand develop abundantly during that coolseason. ince new plant arise from rhi-zome , an increa e in their number ande tent obviou ly increases turf den ity,This i one factor in crab gra controland other weeds al o.

GOLF COMES IBy JOHNM. BEALL

This Kansas club ha plenty of social activity,but golf' demand are met first. Theresult - a successful club from all angles.

OLF comes first with our members," says Harry Robb, pro-supt. atMilburn CC (Kansas City district) "then comes the social! We don't

neglect the social side of our club life by any manner of means, but we areprincipally a playing club."

Robb can speak with authorityabout most everything around theclub for he has been with the clubsince its inauguration in 1917. Heassisted W. B. Langford, Chicagocourse architect, in laying out thecourse. Through these years, Robbsays, the club has operated on a fullschedule of activity without evermaking an assessment or suffering ared figure.

This speaks well of Milburn's pay-as-you-go budget plan. The finance chairmanexplains that the club is not and has notexperienced a deficit chiefly because itmakes a practice of paying a it goes andof budgeting the club on slightly fewermembers than it actually ha .

In playing a round at this rolling, andgenerously timbered course, one is im-pres ed with the evident care it receives.Already lavishly supplied with woodedholes, the club is contemplating a five-year tree-planting program to follow theplanting of 300 trees during the past twoyears.

Milburn' charm lies in its vari ty. Twosmall lakes, something very rare in inland

central state courses, offer water hotwhich add materially to the beauty andscoring te ts of the layout.

Three or four of the drinking fountainover the course are iced. The water comesthrough coils in underground boxe , whichare iced each day. Convenient rake areplaced at each trap.

Milburn has one of the few puttingclocks lighted for night play in the Kan-as City ection. Every. two week during

the warm weather, the club conduct nighputting tournaments on the lighted clock.Usually 100 or more of the 290 activmembers enter the contests, with perhapas many wives, children and intere tedfriends on the sidelines.

The putting tournaments are popularbecau e they give the members and theirfamilies and friends some incentive todrive into the country away from theweltering city. Prizes heighten the

Here's Milburn's lineup of course maintenance equipment, which includes power and handmowers, 3 tractors, rollers and watering equipment. Harry Robb, pro-supt., is budgeted$11,000 yearly to spend on the course, and he puts $7,500 of this into employing 8 to 11 men

during the playing season, plus two year-round employees.

utmost in care of fertilizing, seeding, andwatering.

The club's tournament schedule calls fora men's match play tournament of 13flights with 16 members each, practically1000/0 of the masculine membership, whichgives a cue to the type of club Milburn is.Winners of the 13 flights have a match-play tournament to determine the clubhandicap champion, whose name is en-graved on the handsome match play cupand who also is awarded an individualcup. It requires about two months for thistournament to be played.

Toward the end of the season wheneveryone has progressed about as far ashe hopes to, a match play tournament isheld to determine the club champion.

About one-third of the membership ismade up of members' wives, who hold a3-day medal play tournament every year

He encourages his members, men andwomen, to enter the local and ectionaltournam nts, with the result that Milburnis always well represented, and high in-terest is maintained.

The caddie hou e is located about 200-yards from the clubhouse to eliminate theusual caddie house confusion around theclub. A phone connects the caddie-rna tel"office with the caddie-house.

Robb spends approximately $11 ,000 ayear on the course. Ordinarily $7,500 isinvested in labor, with the remaining$3,500 spent on water, fertilizing, seeding,trees, praying and mower equipment.

He works from 8 to 11 men full timeduring the playing season and r tains twomen for early spring course and greenoverhauling.
