"We are very much pleased with the TORO Master Seven Tractor and Mowers" . . .

Pine Valley Golf Club, George Cunningham, Mgr.

By many competent authorities, Pine Valley Golf Club at Clementon, New Jersey, with an international membership, has been chosen as one of the five outstanding golf courses in America.

Selected by the U. S. G. A. as a site for the Walker Cup tournament next year, it will be the scene of competition attracting world-wide interest.

It is particularly significant that TORO Mowers are used 100% on Pine Valley and have been for a number of years past. The fairways are cut in six hours with a TORO Master Seven and Trojan Mowers. The greens are mowed to perfection with TORO hand Greensmowers and the tees are cut with TORO Silver Flash precision mowers.

Throughout the East, the Middle West, the Pacific Coast and Canada, three out cf four able Golf Course Superintendents will tell you that TORO machinery is the best in the field. Specify it on your grounds.

one man do it alone? "Can't be done", you reply. T o which we come back at you and say: Oh yes it can, if you have a Worthington Overgreen.

GRUBS AND WORM CASTS

A few handfuls of grubs, beetles and worms will ruin

more good putts than any other cause. Worm casts and bare spots on greens not only take the joy out of golf, but also take the cash out of the greens fund.

It costs much more to repair and replant greens than it does to save them in perfect condition by the generous use of Dow Lead Arsenate.

Dow Lead Arsenate, properly applied, will rid your greens of worms, beetles and grubs, and will discourage growth of chickweed, fennel, crabgrass and other noxious weeds. Ge t your supply of Dow Lead Arsenate now.

WORN OUT MOWERS STILL COST YOU MORE THAN NEW "PENNSYLVANIAS"

You can juggle figures just so long, then they fall on the right or left hand side of the ledger. UNBREAKABLE Many greens committees have postponed the purchase of new mowing equipment in an effort to meet reduced appropriations—only to find that the cost of maintain-ing old worn-out mowers is greater than the invest-ment necessary for new "Pennsylvanias".—Some have paid for this knowledge with a lowering o f the standard o f their turf, and the resultant complaints of player members.

So —stop paying repair bills and jeopardizing the con-dition of your course—send for the new Pennsylvania Quality Mower Catalog—you will be quick to see how up-to-date "Pennsylvanias" actually save you money while improving the playing condition of your course.

PROTECT Your

Fresh, Green Fairways

Don't Let Them Burn Florida Humus, applied now, will hold like a sponge the moisture that your fairways are going to need this summer. It's your best fairway in-surance—against hot, dry weather— because it also encourages strong root growth, and makes healthy grasses by feeding them slowly re-leased stores of organic nitrogen . . . Many clubs have found that Florida Humus has reduced their watering costs by as much as 50%. T H E A N A L Y S I S of Florida Humus (Wiley & Co., Baltimore, No. 129117) shows a water-holding capacity of 581,12%; a nitrogen con-tent (on a dry basis) of 3.25%; and an acidity, pH, of 6.2 (very slightly acid—7 is neutral—most grasses like an acidity of around pH, 6).
