Make Experiment1
! In Soil Erosion!
I
Chapel Hill.?Chosen by the j J
United States government, an
800-acre tract of land two miles
east of Chapel Hill will be made
headquarters of the Southeastern
[states in experimentation for con.
trol of soil erosion, it has been
|announced.
Belonging to the university, the
land has been turned over to the
Department of Agriculture to be
used at a Soil Erosion Experiment
Station.
Experiments will consist chiefly
of growing trees and shrubs
for highway bank protection,
game conservation, and gully
control.
A 50-acre plot has already been
prepared for setting out plants
to be brought from the government's
station at Statesville
Tuesday, September 3. During
the coming week 11,000 will be
transported here.

formerly with the Department of
Agriculture, wilj be plant propagator,
and O. L. Veerhoff, a
graduate of Colgate and Johns
Hopkins universities, will make
experimental studies in seed germination
and stratification. He
will also be chief custodian of
the seed stock in all the government
nurseries in the southeast. |
There are five in North Caro-1
lina. ;
The station staff will also in- J
elude young scientists who will |
function as "field men," and they j
will collect plants from all overj
the southeast i
Operations on the farm will be j
steadily expanded, 200 acres of
which are now cleared ground, j
Engineers will be sent from the ;
Soil Conservation Service at j
! High Point to make a photo-1
graphic survey and a soil survey
of the farm. An irrigation sys-1
tern, to cover five acres, will be
installed.
The farm will be financed by
the Department of Agriculture j
I but labor will be supplied by the
North Carolina Division of the
Works Progress Administration. [
i A joint enterprise of the govern-1
ment and the university, the j
prime purpose of the farm is for
control of soil erosion.
It will serve as a laboratory
for scientific study and eventualII

THE
Chevrolet Cars
Score In Race
Six Out Of Seven Chevrolet
Motor Cars Entered In
6-Day Ocean To Ocean
Trip In South America
Complete Race
In a 6-day ocean to ocean competition
in South America, over
a course so severe that 37 cars
out of 56 starters withdrew after
the first day's run, six Chevrolets
out of seven that entered
completed the 4,458 kilometer
course without serious mishap,
the seventh having been withdrawn
for personal reasons only.
According to a detailed account
of the race appearing in the current
issue of General Motors
wona, magazine or rne u. m..
export division, the route was the
most interesting and at the same
time the most perilous ever mapped
out for a race in South
America.
The Argentine Pampa, the hills
of Mendoza, the mountains of the
Andes and the wilds of Neuquen
and the Atlantic seaboard were
some of the difficulties strung
out over a route which for fourfifths
of the distance is a succession
cart ruts, loose sand, and
treacherous bogs. One of the
highest peaks in the Andes also
had to be scaled at a height of
12,000 feet, above which stands
the Christ of the Andes, making
the boundary line between Argentina
and Chile.
Many world-famous motorists
came to the shores of Argentina
with high hopes of showing their
prowess. Some of them brought
their cars, saw the Argentine
roads and departed without even
entering.
One of the Chevrolets, manned
by Tadeo Taddia, finished in
sixth place. His car was a 1934
Chevrolet Master, straight from
the showroom, without the slightest
alteration to engine, body or
fittings and with only one trip of
"exploration"- along the route. "I
did not have to make a single
replacement in the whole journey,"
he said later, "and had no

mechanical trouble of any kind.
The Chevrolet behaved admirably
during the whole trip and were it
not for the tiring effect of such
a race, I would call it a pleasant
paseo (excursion.)"
During the race thousands of
Argentines read with amazement
of a race being conducted over
those very roads which were considered
impractical for the tourist.
The race is over, but the far
reaching effects remain. Argentina's
great road-building scheme
j forgoes ahead and is followed
with greater interest than ever.
The exploitation of Argentina's
untold wealth in the interior,
which for most Argentines is
still terra incognita, has been
brought a little nearer because
of the race.
i Give Blood In

Nineteen Veterans Of War

Volunteered To Give
Blood For Use In Preparing
Serum
Boston, Aug. 26.?Nineteen vetI
erans of the war on infantile
paralysis, whose ages range from
13 to 50, appeared at a Boston
city hospital clinic today to donate
blood to be transformed into
a serum to benefit other victims
of the disease.
Seven years ago George Murphy,
13, was stricken with the
disease. He is still taking followi
up treatment and wears a brace
| on one leg, yet he was one of
the first to respond to the call
for volunteers made by the State
Department of Public Health.
Dr. Frederick J. Bailey, deputy
health commissioner having char;
ge of communicable diseases, surjveyed
the group of "polios" (the
abbreviation from the technical
poliomyelitis) who had come to
! donate their blood and declared
j them all heroes.
"They have all come at their
I own expense," he said. "Many of
j them had to stay away from

[ In addition, provision has been
made for an adjustment payment

to assure the growers a

i If a grower decides to sell his
