What Happens To
Corn Formerly Used
To Make Whiskey?
Columbus. O.? Major T. P. Walker

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

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

Kill Potato Bugs With
Calcium Arsenate
Raleigh. ? 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

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

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
