Brown Patches on the Lawn

Objectionable brown patches ap-
pear on fine lawns. greenswards, and
the putting greens of golf courses US
ually during the hot, mois: weather
of summer, the disease being most
noticeable when the weather is hot
and muggy, and on ground which is
kept too moist by insufficient drain
age OF heavy sprinkHng. The brown
spots, caused bE fungus, are at
first more or less circular and grow
in centrifugal fashion, becoming a
foot OF more in diameter.
| During the early morning many OF
| the spots are covered with fine mill
dew. Later in the day the border Of
actively growing spots is smoky
green in color where the grass leaves
| are dying. When the disease is
abundant and merging of the spots
occurs, an entire putting green often
will be completely brown and ap-
pear as if dead. Peculiarly enough,
with the coming of cool weather in
fall most of the infested spots recov-
er, indicating that the grass has
suffered no permanent injury. How
ever, occasional diseased spots are
completely killed. Apparently the
brown spots radiate in the form Of a
small circle from one unit and con-
tinue this process, season after sea-
son, until large circles are formed.
Occasionally a green spot is found in
the center, but usually the whole
patch is brown.
Prevention is the practical way of
decreasing the damage wrought by
this turf disease, according to the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Preventive measures consist in
providing thorough drainage, both of
the surface and subsoil. Watering
should be done in the morning, in
the case of golf courses, the purpose
being to have the courses as dry as
practicable during the night Often
in spite of these precautions the dis
ease will appear in warm, wet wea-
ther when the excess surface mois-
ture can not be controlled. The
growing of turf plants immune or
highly resistant to the disease
Bermuda grass in the South, and
blue grass and white clover in the
North-is the iGeal method of pre-
vention, but the last two are not the
most desirable for putting greens or
for lawns of superior quality. The
fescues and the bents, the peers of
all fine turf grasses, are markedly
susceptible to the brown patch dis
ease. 1t is anticipated by specialists
in the United States Department Of
agriculture that in the near future
resistant strains of desirable grasses

pose of discussion, divided into two
kinds, the so-called toxic rheumatism,
and the rheumatism resulting as
secondary focal infection. BY toxic
rheumatism we mean that certain poi
sonous toxins, the result of bacterial
action in some remote part of the
body, other than the joints, may pro-
duce an irritation and inflammation of
the lining membrane and other struc-
lures of the joint, a condition that
we call Joint rheumatism or acute
articular rheumatism" These toxic
poisons may come from different
sources, for illustration. Assesses at
the roots of teeth, or infected 1onsils
The other kind of rheumatism is
where the bacteria actually invade
the joints and esta blishes a new point
Of infection. This sort of rheumatism
IS the more serious kind and is ex-
tremely difficult to cure-usuaIIy re-
curing surgical procedure for its ul-
innate cure. Toxic rheumat ism is
often cured as if by magic when the
sources of bacterial processes become
definitely located and permanently re-
moved; for illustration, If the tonsils
are the manufacturing laboratory of
these poisonous materials complete
removal of the tonsils will naturally
cut off the continuous supply of poi
sonous elements circulating in the
blood, with the result that these cases
improve with wonderful rapidity. The
OIL TIME OF the cure QepS1QS en-
tirely upon the discovery of the source
Of infection and having it removed.
Obviously the method of procedure
is to put yourself in the hands of a
competent physician with the idea of
first finding the source of infection,
If possible, and when found of having
it removed
Another form of rheumatis in
which the joints become greatly de-
formed. is. perhaps, but the terminal
stage of the type of rheumatism in
which the joint becomes actually in
fected with the bacterial organisms
Do not become discouraged or lose
faith in the doctor who spends great
deal of time in making exa limitations
ard who seems uncertain as to the
source of infection, or who speaks
pessimistically as to the outcome.
Such a doctor understands his bust
ness, and is a safe man to tie to- Be-
