GREEN-K.F.EPING RESEARCH.
Great progress has been made by that quaintly entitled body, the " Board of Research for Golf Green Keeping." Its ideals and range are much wider than its name. The body was formed rather less than a year ago. It produced its first journal, a most readable and suggestive half-crown's worth, in November. It has an active research station, admirably situated on the St. Ives Estate, Bingley, Yorkshire. In his life 1,200 years ago St. Heif scarcely dreamed of such an extension of his patronage, though St. Kolv is old, too. These research workers, as others, reap no small advantage from belonging to an Empire. Their way is .made easy for experi- ments with Indian Dhoob or South African creeping dog's tooth grass, to quote two actual examples. And they are co-operating with a yet more elaborate research station in New Jersey, where several discoveries of scientific value have been made. Canada is following suit.
