as Kentucky bluegrass. creeping

H. B. Musser. Pennsylvania
turf specialist. has given q pic
ture in the Seed World OF the
progress made in improving lawn
grasses. He says we should know
first what qualities a grass should
have to make q good turf.
It must be persistent Inc its
environment and have a rea-
sonable tolerance to the diseases
which cause many turf failures.
It must be a good seed pro-
Queer and capable OF reproduce
ing itself through successive gen.
erations without loss Of its de-
sirable qualities.
And. it must produce q good
quality turf for the purpose for
which it Is to be used. Leaf
density, good color. desirable tex
ture and resistance to wear are
all important.
Merton bluegrass will grow
well throughout the entire area
OF Kentucky bluegrass adapta-
ton, especially in the more
southern sections Of the. region
where there is most trouble in
maintaining satisfactory blue
grass turf. It Is more tolerant
to the leafspot diseases which
are responsible for most Of the
poor quality Of common blue
grass turf. The density. texture
and general quality Of Merton
turf are consistently as good or
better than common.
Delta bluegrass Is q vigorous
strain best adapted to the cooler
sections Of the Kentucky blue
grass-growing region. When
healthy it produces a dense turf
of better quality than common.
Illahee and Trinity fescues are
much alike in appearance. pro-
ductivity and quality Of turf
which is appreciably better than
common Chewings and creeping
red under cool growing condi-
tons.
Alta and Kentucky 81 fescues
are coarse in leaf texture and
only moderately disease-tolerant.
Their virtue is in their toughnesS
and resistance to wear which
makes them desirable for ath-
letic fields and similar areas.
Several new strains Of Ber-
mudagrass which are definite i'm
provements over the common are
coming into use in their region

From there he probably turned

the fact that he slept at a brick
hotel at Warwick and many be-

proof of his satisfaction, he is re-

1t will take a month for Group
Hospital Service to distribute new
certificates covering all of the
225, 900 members of the Blue
Cross and Blue Shield Plans, it
was estimated by r. c. Denzler,
assistant managing director.
The new certificates are being
issued to members because of the
new rates and benefits to go into
effect on February 1. This will
be the first such change in four
years; certificates previously is
sued to members reflect the old
rates and benefits.
In addition to the formal GER
tificate, attesting to membership
in the non-proft community or
ganization providing hospital and
medical-surgical coverage, each
member will receive folder sum-
marizing the new rates and bene-
fits and explaining that payment
of the new rate is considered to
be acceptance of the new certifi-
cate.
Each certificate and folder will
be enclosed in window envelope
for convenience in keeping them.
The name of the member will ap-
pear in the window.
The envelopes will be distri-
buted through the group repre-
sentatives-one designated person
for each of the 1000 membership
groups in Delaware. Distribution
to the group representatives start
ed Monday and is expected to be
finished about December %.
Non-group members will re-
eeive the new certificates and ex-
pianatory folders by mail to their

The present hunting days re-
snind us of the bygone days of
1900, or thereabouts. Then the
veteran hunters went to the hunt
ing scenes and generally bagged
n full quota of game and no de-
lay to it. The veteran workmen
were Messrs. L. B. Shockley, Ser
eek S. Wilson, Walter Morgan,
Harvey Daniels, and a few others.
Back in 1897, veteran hunter
was Jacob Daniels who knew his
shooting was clever enough to
make others wish they could
shoot as well. In recent days the
Wilmington gunners here were
Harvey Spruance, Medford Halt
en-, Samuel Spicer and Marion
