Pa^e Four THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Ctti-hliw Friday, September 9, 193S. Seaboard Sees Business Boom With New Diesels Electric Service From New Yorii To Florida Should Increase Travel, Says Powell Increased Florida and Mid-South travel, i-esulting from the latest pro gressive step of the Seaboard Rail way in its purchase of nine new streamlined Diesel locomotives, the most powerful type of Diesel loco motives in the world, should play a salient part in bettering general business conditions throughout the South, L. R. Powell, Jr., receiver of the Seaboard, told The Pilot ^when in Southern Pines last week. For the first time, electric sei’vice will be provided from New York to Florida, he added. The Seaboard has long been rec ognized for its pioneering efforts, and under the leadership of Mr. Powell has been most active in pro moting travel to and from the South, being the first Southern road to introduce air-conditioned equip ment on its trains. The placing of these huge Diesel locomotives into service, however, is the most for ward step .so far made by the Rail road. Only two others of the same great horsepower have been con structed; they are in use on trans. continental lines in the West. The new Seaboard locomotives are also the longest type in the world, each unit of three locomotives being 210 feet in length. Commenting on this first large-scale introduction of Diesel power in the Southeast by the Seaboard, Mr. Powell said in part: “Diesels are the newest marvels in railroad service, but that is of less importance to the public than the fact that these Seaboard locomo tives are designed to provide the fastest-possible long distance trans portation at the lowest-possible max imum speeds and with the utmost of comfort, safety and dependabil ity under all operating conditions." Construction of the Diesels is ad vancing rapidly at the plant of the Electro-Motive Corporation, La Grange, Illinois. State’s Tobacco Crop Damagred by Leafspot state College Pathologist Says There’s No Known Control For Black fire Leafspot diseases, aided by ex tended rains, became general and destructive in many tobacco fields throughout the State, according to Dr. Luther Shaw, exten.sion plant pathologist at State College. The most prominent and destruc tive of these diseases is blackfire. This disease causes spots on the leaves, beginning as sm^ll yellowish specks which enlarge rapidly to one- fourth to one-half inch in width. The attack causes the tissues to turn brown and die. Blackfire is always most prevalent and destructive during periods of ex cessive rains. This results from two factors. First, blowing rain appar ently is necessary for the rapid and abundant spread of the bacterial par asite which causes the disease; and second, tobacco plants are more sus ceptible to attack by the parasite during conditions of high moisture. No Known Control Dr. Shaw pointed out that there is no known control for the disease once it has appeared in the field. However, he said, it has been observed that plants growing under conditions of high nitrogen are more susceptible than those growing under conditions of low nitrogen. Such practices as growing plants in new sites, using new or sterilized old covers, and seed treatment will tend to reduce infection of plants in th bed. This, in turn, will reduce the amount of infection in the field. However, the St'ite College patho logist said, it is evident that careful application of these practices will not guarantee control in the field.

The Bureau of Agricultural Ek:o- nomics points to an increased con sumption of cigarettes as a favorable sign in this year’s tobacco outlook. Tax-paid withdrawal of cigarettes for 11 months of the la»t fiscal year totaled 149,665,000,000 or 3.6 per cent above the corresponding per iod a year earlier, the bureau said, and estimated withdrawals in the first half of the present calendar year were two per cent larger than last year. "The failure of cigarette consump tion to decline during the present period of sharply decreased business activity” the bureau attrabuted to: 1. The reluctance of consumers to curtail purchases of a habitually used commodity and the persistence of a significant long time upward trend in cigarette consumption. 2. Government expenditures have tended to maintain the purchasing power of large numbers of people in the lower income brackets. 3. An increase in the importance of the ten-cent brands- “The continued increase in ciga rette withdrawals is a factor w'hich tends to make the long time outlook for flue-cured (cigarette type tobac co) rather favorable,” the bureau said, “but tobacco actually purchased in any given season generally does not reach the hands of consumers until one or three years later.” “The demand of domestic manu facturers for cigarette tobacco in the present season as compared with the preceding probably will be re lated significantly to the level and the trend of general business activ ity and wholesale prices as well aa to cigarette withdrawals as such. “Recent upturns in commodity prices and business activity, if con. tinned, will tend to expand domes tic demand for the current flue-cur ed crop. "Unless the improvement in com modity prices and general domestic conditions, however, is considerably more rapid than is expected, the market situation will be somewhat less favorable than in 1937” World’s Fair Briefs Traffic experts of the New York World’s Fair 1939 and the New York Police Department are completing plans for a directional sign system to enable motorists from out of town to make their way through the city to the Fair grounds without any pos sibility of becoming lost. On main thoroughfares information booths are to be erected. Approximately 10 miles of bus road.a have been constructed within the grounds of the New York World’s Fair 1939, and 100 buses will operate over them. Most points in the grounds will be within a few hundred feet of a bus stop. OR. E. L.
