The Importance of Grass
We have many research workers whose subject is the grass of the field and common and lawn ; and recently no little fillip to this enquiry has been applied by an association of those who study farm grasses and those who care chiefly for golf greens. Professor Stapleton, at Aberystwyth, has earned fame all over the world for his discoveries in the improvement of the grass of Welsh sheep farms. He has fulfilled Dean Swift's great ideal of making two blades of grass grow where one grew before, if not literally and in fact, yet essentially, for he has made good grasses grow where bad grasses grew before. Professor Stapleton himself has now been blessing the Board of Green-keeping Research and even expressed the belief that the golf green is as important as the hill pasture.
