Main Speakers Close Annual Turf Meeting A carefully planned buying and organized evaluation of equipment and its maintenance is a big step toward improving efficiency of op erations for golf courses, parks and other public places, according to Dr. Jim Watson Jr., chief agron omist for the Toro Manufacturing Corp. at Minneapolis, Minn. Watson was one of the main speakers at the fourteenth annual Texas Turfgrass Conference held hero Dec. 7-9. Such equipment as mowers, fer tilizer spreaders, seeders, aerators, sprayers, dusters, mist blowers and wood chippers should be pur chased to suit the needs for one type of operation. Ife said adequate machinery for one golf course, one cemetery, one park, or one school system may be inadequate for another and exces sive for a third. “Therefore, equipment must be selected on the basis of the indi vidual requirements for a particu lar organization,” Dr. Watson said. Discussing “Personnel Manage ment and Relationships,” David Lilly, president of Toro Manufac turing Corp., and another main speaker, said management is the art of getting things done through people. Efficient management is rarely achieved, he said, without consid erable planning and a statement of obje(#ives, policies and long range plans. The statement should in clude the questions of what, where, where, how, how long and why something is to be done and who can do it best.
