Driving a rear-enginsd, four-
wheel drive racing car which
was built to use exactly the same
kind of gasoline and oil that can
be purchased at highway service
stations, George Barringer efftab-
lished thirty new International
and American Class “D” speed
record.s on the famous Bonneville
Salt Beds in Utah.
Flashing around the circular
ten mile course at speeds up to
15S.4 miles per hour, Barringer
finished hi.s 500 mile dash in
slightly under three and ohe-half
hours at an average speed of
142.9 miles 'per hour. Among the
14 International Class “D" and
16 American Clas.» “D’’ records
broken, all .it which have been
confirimed by the Contest Board
of the American .\utomoibile As
sociation, same were lifted as
high as 31 m. p. h. above the
previous records.
Barringer is a Texas driver
who ha.s finished “in the money”
two years at Indianapolis.
Gulf No-Nox gasoline and
Gnlfpride Oil were used in the
streamlined, six-cylinder Miller
Special which set the new records.
The car was built to use pump
gasoline and automotive lubri
cants . . . but to compete with
the foreign and domestic cars en
tered in the annual Indianapolis
500-Mile Race which use highly
“doped’’ and alcohol-blend fuels.
Barringer’s 500 miles at.142.9
miles per hour is well abiove the
aired place to prevent rots; give
air to tobacco in storage when
necessary to prevent modly con
ditions: pick cowpeas when ma
ture to prevent blackening and
decay that usually follow periods
of wet weather: and keep all
weeds from areas where Granville
wilt occurs.
R. L. Lowbrn, Experiment
Station agronomist, says a 2 per
cent solution biy weight of copper
nitrate, applied at the rate of 200
gallons of water per acre, is one
of the best chemicals known tor
the control of dandelions in the
lawn or pasture. The spraying
should be done on a clear day,
preferably in the morning. Two
applications should be made dur
ing the summer, the last about
August 15. For small areas, 1 1-2
pounds of copper nitrate dissolved
in 7 1-2 gallons of water will
make enough spray for 1,000
square feet.

Plue-cured tobacco' growers of
other iectlons of the State are
being plagued this year by Gran- Williams
ville wilt, a disease heretofore
largely centered in Granville,
Durham and Wake counties.
Howard H. Garriss, plant pathol
ogist of the State College Exten
sion Service, reports that the
wilt has been found this summer
in many counties, with the worst
new outbreaks in Southeastern
North Carolina.
Granville wilt is caused by a
bacterial germ which lives in the
soil Indefinitely if plants suscep
tible to the germ are grown on
the land. Since It Is not trans,
ferred through t'l.i air, Garriss
said the only explanation for the
widespread occurence of the di
sease this year is that it has been
brought in iby tobacco plants im
ported from one area to another,
or by soil attached to potatoes,
tomatoes, peppers, string beans,
peanuts, Jimson weeds, cockle-
burs and other plants susceptible
to attack by the wilt.
Ho recommends the following
control measures, none of which,
however, have been proven to
be entirely “sure” as a cure or
preventive for the disease: Pre
vent washing of soil from infect
ed to uninfected fields, avoid
tran.sportation of tobacco stalks
and trash from infected to unin
fected fields, avoid transporta
tion of soil on farm implements
and on the feet of animals and
man from infected to uninfected
fields, and grow tobacco in in
fected fields only in a three to
five-year rotation with resistant
or Immune crops adapted to lo
cal conditions.
Garriss says that the following
plants apparently are Immune to
Granville wilt; corn, sweet pota
toes, cotton, wheat, oats, rye, bar
ley, crimson clover, Austrian
winter peas, vetch, lespedeza, cro-
talaria, herds (red top) grass,
crab grass, watermelons, canta
loupes, and sorghum.
