o MoreWinter Rules,

Thanks toAGRICOI"

Mr. Richard D. Mansfield,Supt., of the Mink MeadowsGolf Course, Vineyard HavenMartha's Vineyard, Mass.reports:

"Five years ago, I started a fairway rebuildingprogram with AGRICO Country Club 8-6-4 fer-tilizer to really encourage good, healthy growth.For the past two years, I used AGRICO FORTURF 6-8-2 I am very pleased with the out-standing AG RICO re ults of this 5-year program.The turf IS much healthier, has thickened up andnow has excellent growth and color.

AGRICO has given the same excellent results ongreens and tees. But the one big difference wasthis: prior to my AGRICO fairway feeding pro-gram it was necessary to play winter rules becauseof thin, spar e turf. Now we no longer need toplay winter rules thanks to AGRICO!"
