Now is the time before the ap
proach of winter to institute protect
ive measures for the control o,f snow
mould which during recent years has
caused considerable damage to turf
on golf courses, bowling greens, and
lawns in all parts of Canada. Timely
precautions also guard against the
rarer attacks of snow mould in the
late fall and early winter. Snow
mould injuries seem to be on the in
crease in Canada, and usually the first
symptoms are found in the form of
dead areas of turf—something like
brown patch injury—of various shapes
and sizes as the snow melts in the
early spring, or, as sometimes hap
pens, in the early winter when the
snow is melted by abnormal thaws in.
the East or by Chinook winds in
Western Canada.
The injury is caused by fungi which
develop at low temperatures when
there is excessive moisture due to
melting snow or rain. Snow mould
may be distinguished from brown
patch by the cobwebby growth of the
fungi on the leaves.
i As a control measure the greens

of Oct. 16th at 8 p.m. in
a
freezes. According to the results of
experiments carried out by W. C.
Broadfoot, Plant Pathologist at the
Edmonton, Alberta, Laboratory of the
Division of Botany, Experimental
Farms Branch, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, practical control was
obtained by the use of calomel and
corrosive sublimate in any proportion,
provided tire rate was four ounces or
greater per 1,000 square feet.
It seems advisable, states Mr.
Broadfo )t, to recommend equal parts
of corrosive sublimate and of calomel,
because this mixture would provide
immediatelv-available toxicity from
the sublimate to control a fall attack,
and it would possess, due to slower
oxidation, the lasting qualities of the
calomel to combat early spring at
tack. Whether applied by machine or
by shovel, the chemical should be
thoroughly mixed with a small am
ount of dry shatp sand, and this mix
ture of chemical and sand or dry
earth compost to ensure even distri
bution.
“How’s the wife, George?”
“Not so bad, old boy. She’s just
had quinsy.”
“Gosh! How many is that you’ve '
got how?”
Gipsy: “You want to know about
your future husband, beautiful lady.1*
Visitor: “No. I want to know
something about the past of my pres
ent husband for future use.”
Stenographer (to another): “I think
