Greenkeepers' Sessions
Will Be Transferred
To GreenbeIt Plot

Today's meeting of scientific and
practical minds in the golf green
keeping profession will be the last
of its kind at the historic old Ar
lington Turf Garden. Tra,ditionally
the parent bed of culture and devel-
opment of golf course grasses in the
Eastern part of the United States,
the old Arlington Turf Garden soon
will vanish. On the spot where a
couple of generations of scientists
have labored with grass experiments
and have doused the sod and soil
with generous applications of chemi-
Gals, will rise the marble columns of
a new War Department building
BY late fall the top soil and the
precious grasses which form the
nucleus of much of the work of the
Turf Garden will be moved to Green
belt, Md. where the experimental
work which means so much to thou
sands of golf courses and to millions
of golfers will be carried on. At the
old garden were conducted the ex-
periments which resulted in propa-

and other equally worthwhile work

worth of expensive golf turf. and

the land.
But the work will not end. DR..
John Monteith and his scientific
associates will carry on at Green
belt. And few outside of Washing
ton will know it is centered at a
different location.
Following the opening gathering
at Arlington the several hundred
visitors were to view today expert
mental work in the Washington
parks, and turf culture at several
courses around town. A dinner will
be held at the Hamilton Hotel to-
night.

Finally. one of the three baited his

the guy suddenly remembered he

So, when a like occasion comes
up, don't ask whether the unhappy
anglers business dealings have been
on the up and up, or If his attend

see II there isn't some more normal
reason for the Ill luck. for there are
many substances in our bodies which
we exude through the skin as well
as sulphur that might be equally
offensive to fish.
Also, the question as to how much
the sense of smell is developed in
fish seems we'll answered by such an

one of the most important senses.

Usually at this season channel
bass are running the Maryland and
Virginia beaches in large numbers.
This fall the run is late. for the
catch of five at Wachapreague last
week was the first indication they
still were offshore, and as the last
of the run invariably is gone by
mid October the season is going
to be short.
However, it might mean that the
fish know something We do not, and
the fall season. like the summer, Will
be extended this year. From al
appearances now, other than slight
drop in water temperatures, We are
experiencing late-August fishing.
Cape Charles shippers are doing
better with channel bass and the
run has not started along the
North Carolina coast, SO there is
good reason to assume that our real
fall run will be in october.
Fishing Mystery Solved.
Is there any angler who never has
experienced fshless days? Days
when others on the same boat
hauled big ones in hand over fist.
and no matter how often the bats
were changed, or from just what
part of the boat they were dropped
over, the fish refused to give them
the slightest attention. =
We have seen such a happening
many times and furthermore have
experienced this phenomenon, recog-
nizing the fact something was wrong
but without understanding Just
what it was.
Lou Caine, whose stories about
fishes and fishing are found more
than ordinarily interesting by
anglers all over the country, has
come up with what might be the
real answer to this piscatorial
oddity 1t is at least a partial
answer. Recently, anchored over a
snapper hole, Lou and two OF his
companions were bringing them IN
with clocklike regularity. The third
companion changed bats, stood up,
sat down and even tried the time
honored custom of splitting on
the live shrimp for luck, but it was
of no benefit; not a single snapper
would nibble at his bait.
1t was funny and all laughed for
awhile. Then only three could find
the subject mirthful, and with all
the time -honored quips that 60 with
such a situation, they delved into
the unlucky anglers past for rea-
son to explain his inability to hook
