BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Did you know that: The United
States Golf Association spends vir-
tually all of its income from club
dues, amounting to around s25 900
year, on work of the green's Sec
tions? Or that a staff of hundreds
of men all over the land, is engaged
in the work of spreading the gospel
of better green keeping over the
United States? Or that the WASH
ington area is the center of all this
activity and that the National Cap
ital is looked upon as the hub OF
golf course greenkeeping work in
the United States?
All these facts are true, and the
greenkeepers admit them as they
60 about their second and final
day OF the annual turf meeting to-
day. They are scheduled to visit
several local clubs as part of their
final gathering. Last night at the
Hamilton they listened to addresses
by John Gray. president of the
Greenkeeper's Association: j. B.
Williams, J. Bernd Rose and others.
Walter McCallum acted as toast
master at banquet at which Bobby
Jones was to have been the chief
speaker. Bobs father-in-law died
at Atlanta, and Bob couldn't play
at Columbia nor attend the green
keepers meeting.
They were to wind up their ses-
sions today with visits to Capital,
Chevy Chase and other clubs to
inspect grass plots under the super
vision of DR.. John Monteith, head
Of United States Golf Association
Greens Section activity in Wash
ington.
