Mr. H. P. Speed, Louisburg, R.
2, used P.D.B. in treating one to
bacco plant bed out of three plan
ted side by side. It was thought 1
immediately after treating that
very little results had been obtain
ed even though he followed prac
tices as suggested, using stands
six feet apart and using unbleach
ed cotton cloth as cover. The first
time this plant bed was visited it
was observed that large amount
of growth had been made since
treatment started four days prev- 1
iously. However, it was observed
on adjoining bed that similar <
growth had been made. The sec
ond visit showed that the plants <
on treated bed were green where <
there were many yellow spots on ?
untreated beds. Also plants were : 1
pulled from treated bed one week '
earlier and to date more than <
twice as many plants have been 1
transplanted from the treated bed
than from the untreated beds.

cent Improvement, fell to a net
improvement of only 2 per cent.
While fatal accidents in cities
decreased 9 per cent in April
from the same month a year ago,
a three per cent advance In deaths
on rural highways cut the net Im
provement to only 2 per cent.
The council said the estimated
reduction of only 40 deaths was
io slight that It would be wiped i
3ut by unfavorable records In the
majority of the ten states still un
-eported for the month.
Despite the poor April ghowlng
:he first four months of 1939
ihowed 870 fewer lives lost than
In the corresponding period a year
igo or A drop of 9 per cent. The
lour-month totals were for 1939,
1,600 and for 1938, 9.470.
Motor vehicle mileage for the
Hrst three monih3 of this year In
creased 4 per cent over the corre- 1
sponding period of 1938 which!
made this year's mileage death 1
rate only 11.5 or 15 per cent be-1
low the 1938 rate of 13.6.
