Operation of the camp is a new project for the diocese and building is still con- tinuing. Shortage of supplies ,post- poned the opening from July 1 un- til Friday. The first camping per - led will lest for 10 days under dean of the camp, Rev. John 'Graham, of Woodstock, and a staff of 25. Not all junior campers couldbe accom- modated at the first session and a second will be opened from Aug. 6 to.. 16. In the intervening period of July and' far the remainder of Aug- ust it will be used for intermediates, seniors and young people. The Bay- field site also has a rest home for clergy vacationing. At present it is To Keep Turf Good On Bowling Greens In the establishment and main- tenance of turf on bowling and putting greens, excess rolling is frequently practised to the detri- ment of the turf, particularly on bowling' greens, says J. H. Boyce, Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Fre- quent heavy rolling causes compac- tion of the soil, creating unsatisfac- tory conditions for root growth. The damage is especially severe if the soil be wet at the time of rolling. Normally one rolling is necessary during the year and then it is given in the spring.The punpose of this rolling is to counteract the heaving caused by freezing and thawing. Rolling is not necessary in those re- gions where heaving does not occur, Rolling should never be resorted to with a view of levelling the green. The only satisfactory way of filling small depressions in the green's surface is by top dressing. In the case of large depressions or mounds which may occur on putting greens, the proper method of count- eracting them is to remove the turf and bring the soil to the desired level by filling, or removal as the case may be, and then replace the sod. Contrary to the opinion of many green keepers, constant rolling is not necessary to maintain a desir- able playing surface. The surface may be kept true and firm by fol- lowing a proper top -dressing pro- gr,am which is beneficial to the Member of Conservation Club grass and avoids the difficulties Mr, Thomas W.
