TOP DRESSING PUTTING GREENS
The old time compost pile made with
'manure, sand and soil is becoming ob
solete and is being discarded by tha
majority of Golf Clubs in favor of Pre
pared Top Dressing which comes ready
to apply. It takes two years before a
compost pile is fit for use. It is costly,
even when all the ingredients are at hand,
and absolutely impracticable if they
must be purchased. The labor of turning
and screening is also expensive. The
automobile has reduced the quantity and
increased the price of manure. Manure
is a carrier of disease germs and weed
.seeds. Shavings for bedding and strong
disinfectants in stables, mean death to
grass.
The Alphano Humus Company's corps
of experts have made an intense study
of this problem for many years. The
result is, their Prepared Top Dressing
for Patting Greens a scientifically bal
anced grass food, inoculated with bil
lions of Nitrogen gathering bacteria. It
is delivered in the right condition for top
dressing greens, just as unloaded from
car. The finest Putting Greens in Amer
ica today owe their perfection to Pre
pared Top Dressing periodically applied
with no interference with the play.
To be always positive that the grass
seeds best adapted to the locality and
climatic conditions are sown in connection
with Prepared Top Dressing, to insure re
sults certain of satisfaction, The Alphano
Humus Company has effected selling ar
rangements with the largest grass seed
exporters and importers of the world and
can furnish grass seeds of the proper
variety, of guaranteed purity and highest
germination tests.

The main route to Pinehurst and
Southern Pines is now so much better
than usual at this time of the year that,
as a result of a survey just completed by
A. G. Seiler, one of its field men, the
American Automobile Association has
compiled this summary of present condi
tions: By arranging the journey so as to stop
the first night at Baltimore, Md., the sec
ond at Richmond and the third at Clarks
ville, Va., the trip may be made comfort
ably in four days, averaging 157 miles
per day.
The road to Baltimore, consisting en
tirely of macadam and concrete, is in ex
cellent condition. Motorists should be
careful, however, to leave Philadelphia
via Baltimore Avenue, and follow the
route through Media, Kennett Square
and Conowingo, as the better-known al
ternate via Wilmington and Harve de
Grace is still quite rough in places.
From Baltimore to a point about 18
miles below Washington excellent hard
surfaced roads will be encountered. The
next 21" miles consist of fair gravel,
rough in spots, but entirely passable. The
notorious Chopawamsic swamp section is
now traversed by a fine new concrete
road, three miles in length, and its for
mer terrors are eliminated. The balance
into Richmond is mostly good graded
gravel, except for a few short stretches
just north of Fredericksburg, which
might cause trouble in wet weather.
Leaving Richmond, the motor traveler
will find excellent macadam and concrete
into Petersburg. A short detour is prob
ably still necessary just beyond this, and
inquiry should accordingly be made before
attempting it. The rest of .the route, to
Clarksville consists of fair-to-good sand
clay and gravel with occasional poor
stretches which, slow down traffic tem
porarily. While the new bridge at Goode 's Ferry
has probably been finished, it is not ad
visable to follow this route at present
owing to bad roads both north and south
of that point. It would be better to con
tinue on the main road into Clarksville
and thence through to Pinehurst via Dur
ham thus making certain of roads which
would be passable even in very wet
weather. Under favorable weather con
ditions the route as a whole is fairly
good and should cause no particular diffi
culty or delay.
