Until very recent years but little attention has been given to the use of commercial fertilizers for grass in Kansas or regions of similar climatic conditions. There has developed, however, an increasing interest in the use of these materials for treating lawns. A considerable number of people are using them and the tests so far have indicated that they can be substituted for manure. Commercial fertilizers are popular because they do not introduce weed seed or make the lawn unattractive with litter as is often the case with manure. In 1925 a series of tests was begun at the Kansas Experiment Station in cooperation with the United States Golf Association Green Section in which studies were made on the adaptation of different grasses as well as the effect of nitrogenous fertilizers in improving the turf produced by each.
