Price $12.50 anil Planning for improvements, even though funds are not immediately available or for- seeable, is a good municipal practice. Dur- ing the depression years, the cities that had plans were those which benefitted from appropriations made to bolster the na- tional economy. The federal government is presently alert to the importance of preparing a pub- lic works program to be used in the event of economic emergency. Cities would wise- ly do the same. Los Angeles has already done so. Robert Moses, Commissioner of Parks in New York, is always ready with plans. That is one reason why so much benefit has come to New York throughout his administration in the improvement of park facilities of many kinds. In the United States in 1953, 52 golf courses were completed. Twelve were mu- nicipal, 13 were pay-as-you play, and 18 were private courses. In addition, there were 109 courses under construction and 226 planned and prospective courses. Impressive as this record may appear, it is believed that the future will witness an even greater growth. Public golf has, indeed, a bright and assured future.

MILORGANIZED T U R F ^ ^ H GROWS BETTER

LOOKS BETTER

Fairways, greens and tees fertilized con-s is tent ly wi th M I L O R G A N I T E , the natural organic nitrogen plant food, are distinguished by rich, deep green color, uniform texture and a healthy, closely knit root system. "MILORGANIZED" turf resists disease and withstands_many of the climatic rigors to which less s turdy turf succumbs.

These are reasons why Golf Clubs use more MILOR-GANITE than any other commercia l fertilizer, Our Soil Testing Lab-oratory and Turf Serv-ice Bureau are avail-able to you upon request.

The water pressure turns the wheel. The stream is broken up into rain-like drops which penetrate the soil like a gentle shower. The head revolves slowly, delivering the water in a long straight line which allows all the water to soak in be-fore the line passes over again.

It is not a mist, to evaporate; not a too-heavy shower to run off, wasting water and packing or washing the soil. Covers 80 feet in diameter under good pressure. Can be reduced to as little as 15 feet with a turn of the faucet.
