T U R F i S i a t S i i m & A ^ y i O t ^ f MILORGANITE Helped Produce Better Greens, Tees, Fairways at Shaker Heights Country Club

At the time Harry Burkbardt started the turf improve-ment program at Shaker Heights Country Club greens were mostly poa annua, and fairways were mostly poa in spring and fall. Clover and knotweed were bad in mid-summer, When he left to assist in the Army turf program Al Lesperanee carried on. Then Colin Smith took charge. He has done an outstanding job. Greens have a good foundation of bent grass, and fairways are outstanding. During the Burkhardt regime, and ever since, Shaker Heights Country Club has used a carload — or more — of Milorganite each year. It is used on greens, tees, and fairways.

Yes, the 1m.; gangs easily take care of fairway mowing, but what about your "rough"—those knee-high weeds and grass, steep hillsides, weed-infested gullies, fence rows, etc? That's exactly where YOU need a GRAVELY—that rugged little 5-1 IP Tractor with its 42" Sickle Mower attachment! . , . Low center of gravity and swivel ac-tion of cutter bar give a smooth job no matter how rough or hilly the ground. Long-necked, front-mounted cutting unit gets in close—under fences, shrubbery, etc.—places big tractors can't touch. Reverse gear elim-inates fugging and pulling to hack our, . . Powerful, sturdily builr, all gear driven — the perfect adjunct to an otherwise weII-equipped, well-groomed golf course. But remember—sickle mower is just ooe of Gravely's 19 attachments—-rotary and gang mowers, bull-dozer, roller, hauling cart, snow plow, etc.—for complete maintenance of small courses.

M O W E R S H A R P E N E R — T h a t Gives A Keen

Cutting Edge Every Time

The Peerless Sharpener has a fast-cutting grinding wheel . . , puts a keen cutting e d g e on any mower blade — and does it right the first time.

Peerless Sharpeners are rugged ond precision-made. They're built for long, trouble-free service and backed by a company well known for its tong skill in designing grinding tools of many kinds. Write today for complete information.

September 4, 1950 Ferguson & Sons EauClaire, Mich.

Dear Fergie:

I believe I promised you a report on how the Night Crawler, which we purchased from you in June, worked out for us, so here it is — better late than never!

Just before the Big Elks State Tournament was held here we perforated all eighteen of our greens with your machine taking only two days for the whole job and hiring no extra help at that and the tournament players pronounced the greens in perfect shape for play. I personally think the Fergusons have produced the answer to every green keepers' prayer with their Night Crawler — it is certainly "Tops " at our club.

With best wishes,
