Fertilizer—Not Snow
Turns Turf White
By GRETCHEN HARRISON
Who ever heard o£ fertilizing turf in the middle of winter?
The University has, and, according to Walter Trainer,
head of the Division of Landscape, Construction and Main-
tenance, fertilizing in winter i
The white stuff now on th
mistaken for snow, is agricultural
lime. The spreading of it is a
regular part of the University turf
management program.
“It is important for the turf to
be sweet," Trainer said.
Because of all the fertilizers
used during the year the soil con
tains too much acid. Lime re
moves the acid making soil
“sweet”. It has been proven that
this process is as important as
actual fertilization, he added.
There is no particular season
for lime spreading. The Univer
sity has found winter best, be
cause the tractors used in the
project can travel easily over
the hard ground without leav
ing marks or digging up turf.
Two spreaders and two tractors
are being used. For smaller places,
such as between buildings, hand
spreaders distribute the lime.
Snow will not hurt-the project.

“In fact," Trainer said, “snow
will help it. Lime will melt snow,
and the moisture will help the
lime soak into the soil.”
The wind has been presenting
a problem, Trainer said, by
spreading the lime a little too far,
making it too thin in some places
and too thick in others.
Now that finals-are drawing
near, I would like to make a
suggestion that might irictke
