What Happens To Corn Formerly Used To Make Whiskey? Columbus. O.? Major T. P. Walker ~ of the Commercial Solvents Company of Terre Haute. Ind.. speaking before _ sual meeting at Oblo State Puniver elty. said lOMOJXX) bushels uf iui'U an nually, quarter of the amount former ly made Into splritous liquors, now. goea into lacquers. Com, cotton, sugar and milk, he brought out. are four of the most Im portant Industrial chemicals produced on the farm. Corn crops, once converted into whiskey, still go Into alcohol, but it is butyl and ethyl, for lacquer. An other corn lacquer product is acetone. "More than fifty chemical products," he said, "are derived from the corn kernel. They Include such things as i tahla aU, '"*r g'p? ?"?*" substitute, fertilizer, starch, corn sy rup. tanner's sugar and vegetable glue. "Eleven companies in the United States are engaged in manufacture of corn products such as starch, corn sy rup., corn sugar and corn oil. About 8S.000.000 bushels, one-third . of the corn that reaches the primary market, is employed in this industry. "It Is estimated that the nine States in the corn belt yield enough stalks annually for 12.000.000 tons of paper. ? But it is probable that it would not prove economical to utilize them ex cept in the most favorable location . because .of the cost of collectln? and l transportinz such bulky material ( Processes for chemical utilization o! corncob have b?en worked out. but here. Rgaln. the problem cf com-, mercial oils, synthetic stearin, soaps and soap collecting comes In. "Cottonseeds now produce refined powders, nitroglycerine, roofing paint, writing paper, celluloid, rayon, photc graphic film, sausage casings, nitro ceuuiose. smoiceiess^ powder. |Utl cot ton, lacquers, artificial leather, t.nlet ware furfural i-arhntivHralu and no tash.

Calpiuni arsenat?, the pios^n familiar to cotton -.$r oners, is the rhost economical and effective poison on^ can use to control the Colorado Po tato Beetle or potato bug, as the pest is commonly known. "Calcium arsenate may be used either as a dust or spray and in either case* is effective. " savs C. H. Brarinon. extension entomologist at State College. -When this poison is usatf. m hn\i:T :? as mimum arsenate is absolutely effective and. is^ the cheapest, material that can be* used. The applications should star: a* soon u The beetles appear in num bers and should be continued Just as. often u taey become numerous." To apply the calcium arsenate. Mr. | | Brannon recommends the regular hand dusters used with cotton In the eon- i ! trol of the boll weevil. These have eiven excellent reaulU in tetU made at the college. The plants need to be well-covered. There $ IltUe danger from burning but too much poison should not be used because of the : waste. ' If one prefers to use the arsenate as a spray, large amounts; may be pre pared by using two pounds to 50 gal lons of water. Where only small amounts are wanted for the home Irish potato patch, 10 tablespoonsful to three gallons of water Is the proper proportion. Growers should keep in mind however, that this application of calcium arsenate.Js for control of the beetles alone and will hare no effect t In controlling plant diseases. If the potato bugs are left without ; molestation th?v ran destroy the do tato plants in a short time. Growers | who have tried calcium arsenate say I that it has giver* excellent results. Autos Cause 73 Deaths Iri The State In April Raleigh. ? Automobile accidents j caused 73 deaths in North Carolina ; Last month in comparison with 44 dur ing AprU. 1928, according to the re j port issued by the motor vehicle bu reau of the Slate Department of Re r. venue.* . April fatalities brought tho total j; T.umber for the year to 196. The toll for the first thr*?e months, an average of 1.3 persons killed per day. was con siderably below the April record which shows 2.3 person killed in the State I each day through automobile accident's. In addition to those killed there . *vere 369 injured. Nineteen pedes trians were killed, and 41 injured, 20 t frnrm Q.ltnmnhilp ynl lisions, one from a collision with a horse drawn vehicle, and ten from I corns ion wun trains. There were *19 i deaths resulting from non-collision ac cidents. three from collisions from | fixed objects, and one from a collision with a bicycle. Ten deaths resulted from accidents ' caused by speeding. 30 from driving the roadway.' seven from passing . ori a curve or hill, seven from dis regarding signals, and five from cut ting in. these making up the major- 1 I ity of causes tff fatal accidents. Sixty-five of the' cars involved in j. fatal accidents were in apparent good condition before the accident, the bie majority on clear days and on dry! roadways.

Fuel Economy is Whippet 6 Models Although notable advancements have been made in the few year* In the development of four cylinder in fuel consumption without sacrific ing power, ipeed or all-around per formance. the higher compression en gine employed in the Whippet Six strikes a new note of lower gasoline consumption (or light sixes. Throughout the past year while the new Whippet Six power plant was in the hands of Willys-Overland engi neers undergoing strenuous tests in var ious sections of the country to bring It to its present point of engineering perfection, careful check was kept on ; its fuel consumption. In fact, many | of the tests were made to accurately 1 determine this. *> The tests disclosed that, compared Willi Its pi edetwui , ? tfce ? engine ? in the Superior Whippet Six showed a notably reduced consumption of fuel despite a materially improved speed and power development. This decisive factor is attributed by Willys-Overland engineers .to^improye i ments. incorporated in the " Whippet Six engine, although tlje fundamental principles of its predecessor have in ; the main been "retained. . ' ' It is pointed out that the" improve! Whippet Si?[ engine has an increased : jccmpreisiea ratio, this., factor result - ::v: in eleven percent increased horse power and torque on a smaller amount cf fuel Jha'h was formerly used. ? It his been one of "the chief aims | of manufacturers of six cylinder cars to materially reduci fuel consumption but it remained for Willys-Overland engineers to be the first to produce a six that compared favorably with the fuel consumption of the more efficient present day four cylinder car. Chevrolet Establishes New Monthly Record Detroit, May 11.? Exceeding by ap proximately 10.000 units its best pre vious monthly manufacturing record, the Chevrolet^ Motor Company in April established a new all-time ninthly production record with an curput of 167.137 cars and trucks. April was ? the second consecutive month durinr- -which Chevrolet set up a new all-time monthly production mark. March having been high with 147.273 units. The sensational April achievement brings Chevrolet production in . the first four months up to the. record to tal-of 511 837 units as compared with 477.967 for- the corresponding period r.f loeg ? pTin nf irifirf than' 33.000 units over the best previous corres ponding period in the company^ . his tory.
