Most people sowing Kentucky blue grass seed naturally think that all the seed comes from Kentucky. This is an erron-eous belief for some of the best quality blue grass seed comes from the central western states, namely Iowa and Nebraska.

The Nebraska Seed Co. of Omaha, Nebr., specializes in high quality Kentucky blue grass and is the world's largest indenen-dent gatherer, thresher and cleaner of blue grass seed.

Harvesting of the seed, generally takes place the last two weeks of June in Nebraska and Iowa. The seed is stripped or headed by a machine drawn by a team of horses. Seed is gathered from large pas-tures and careful supervision is given to the stripping of the seed. Every precaution is taken not to strip weedy and chaffy places in the fields, this safeguard increas-ing the high quality of the seed. After .gathering the seed it is put into sacks and is taken to a central place, where it is dumped on the ground.

The grass seed is piled in long windrows and is kept stirred (by men with pitch-forks) to allow the air to pass thru and also to allow the sun to come in contact with the grass seed. This is known as the curing stage and generally takes from 10 days to two weeks, depending on the weather.

As the seed is cured, the windrows are made larger and when thoroughly cured, it is again put into sacks, shipped to Omaha by trucks or rail.

Threshing of the seed is a separate op-eration and a special-built machine is nec-essary to thresh the seed. From the thresh-er, the seed passes thru several other machines, which separate the chaff and rough grass from the seed.

Then the seed passes onto the cleaners which grade the seed to the quality de-sired. The standard weight of blue grass seed is 14 lbs. per bushel but high grade seed offered for sale by reputable seed con-cerns weighs from 19 lbs. to 25 lbs. per measured bushel. The seed is graded ac-cording to weight per bushel and also its purity and germination, and then is packed in uniform bags weighing 112 lbs. each.

The Nebraska Seed Co. ships blue grass seed in carload lots from coast to coast and also exports several cars each season. Many golf clubs seed their fairways with Iowa and Nebraska grown Kentucky blue grass, with the very best of results.

NITROGEN in a fertilizer encourages rank leaf growth. This may be un-

desirable in many farm crops, but is most important in turf development.

T R U E T E M P E R A N N O U N C E S T W O N E W STEEL S H A F T S

Geneva, O.—Robt. H. Cowdery, Director of the Sporting Goods division of The American Fork & Hoe Co., says:

"For 1934 True Temper is offering the trade two new steel shafts in addition to the regular line.

"The True Temper Semi-Flex shaft is one of the new types. While very flexible, this shaft is a happy medium between the extremely whippy shafts that were in vogue last summer, and the standard True Temper shafts. The diameters have been decreased from tip to butt from the stand-ard design, and this affords more feel under the hands and the compensating thicker cushion of leather and windings further deaden any shock effect.

"The Semi-Flex shaft is made for both woods and irons and offered in many fin-ishes including chrome and colored lac-quers. The True Temper Reverse Taper shafts have been artistically designed for players who prefer the large diameter at thje hosel of the club. It likens the shatt to hickory. This construction throws the action still further up the shaft and af-fords unusual feel under the grip.

"These shafts are made in three differ-ent degrees of stiffness so that this may be controlled and varied in each different club in a set."

I D E A L H A S N E W M O D E L P O W E R G R E E N M O W E R FOR 1934

Lansing, Mich.—Ideal Power Lawn Mower Co. recently announced addition of a new power put t ing green mower to its line of golf course equipment. In the past Ideal has only produced a power put t ing green mower in the 18-in. size. The new model has increased capacity, having been de-signed with cut t ing width of 21-in. This new 21-in. machine has been thoroughly tr ied out in various sections of the coun-try on greens of practically every charac-ter to determine first i ts ability to handle the very heaviest kind of cutting, its ease of handling, also to determine that a ma-chine of this wider width could be used on sharp contours and undulations without possibility of scalping or in jur ing the turf .

The anti-scalping roller on this machine i3 so placed ahead of the reel that while it has no rolling effect on the grass, it does prevent scalping. This machine can be r u n over a ridge so sharp tha t the front cast-ers a re an inch or two off the ground, yet the anti-scalping roller will protect the turf f rom any damage, according to Ideal.

The new model is equipped with hand lever s tar ter and larger capacity gasoline tank. The s tandard 18-in. power put t ing green mower as well as the new 21-in. can

Ideal's new 21 in. power putting greert mower, mounted on rubber-tired carrier.

both be supplied with special wire brush, a very valuable feature , part icularly on bent greens where f requent light brush-ing of the grass prevents the graas leaves from becoming so badly tangled and matted.

For t ranspor t ing the Ideal greens mow-er is furnished with a special pneumatic tired car t . Wheels of th is cart are of a large enough diameter so that they ride easily over rough spots, across ditches and bad bumps without any possible in jury to the mower and without undue effort on part of the operator.
