Light or sandy soil is capable of in- definite improvement by continued applica- tion of manures and fertilizers. The most favorable time for manuring or fertilizing is spring and early fall. Late fall ap- plications stimulate heavy growth when it is not needed. Spring dressing produces results most quickly. A spiked roller is sometimes used on the fairway before and after humous dressing, to mix the humus with the sur- face soil. On the green a fine dressing may be worked into the turf with a broom. Commerical dried manures are expensive and their use will ordinarily be confined to the green. The following paragraphs are purposed to describe briefly the various kinds of soil-building materials commonly avail- able. Soil improvement may be secured by the use of or- ganic manures and commercial fertilizers. Organic manures are composed of decaying vegetable and animal matter. Among them are the following: BARNYARD MANURE (i7)ARNYARD manure is commonly available and is the J-J most economical and, in many ways, the best soil- builder. It not only furnishes plant-food elements, but also beneficially modifies the structure of the soil. Its presumed disadvantages, coarseness and the presence of weed seeds, are not serious. Both can be obviated by giving it time to rot thoroughly. Fresh manure must not be used. It should be leftuntil decomposed, or should be composted with other material. While the value of manure is best conserved by plowing under, it can also well be used for top-dressing, if finely pulverized and reasonably free from straw. For use [32}.
