pected to become the center of motor
racing in the United States, is admit
ted by all visitors to be the most per-
fectly equipped and arranged place
for the purpose for which 1t Is intend
ed. Fully $350,0OO have been ex-
pended to transform an old farm on
the Charlottesville pike into an ideal
speedway park. The speedway>whic
occupies a considerable part of the
park enclosure, is without rival in
this country, If not throughout the
world. 1t is five miles long and con-
sists of two courses, one 21a miles
long and the outer. oval course, in
Guiding the inner and more curved
track. The track is fifty feet wide
on the straightaways and sixty feet
on the turns. The outer line of the
course is banked twelve feet high,
thus permitting of gradual incline
that makes 1t possible for driver
10 leave the track at any point via
the lower slope If his car gets into
trouble There are no fences around
the track, thus giving a driver a
chance to jump for his life if his car
goes over the upper embankment,
and if it shoots across for the inside
he has plenty of room to restore the
machine to control The surface of
the track is covered with gravel,
firmly cemented together with as
phalt Oil. The grounds. buildings and
the track are Illuminated at night by
thousands of acetylene gaslights and
it would be possible to hold race
meets at night The grounds enclose
folty-one buildings, among them club
houses, garages, training quarters,
oil houses, machine shops and twen-
ty-two stands of various capacity for
the accommodation of spectators. For
the benefit of visitors who come in
their own automobiles there is car
park which will hold several thou
sand autos and other vehicles.

Indianapolis, Aug. 1.-THE three
day automobile race meet under the
new racing rules and with the sane
ton of the American Automobile as
ISOLATION, with which the recently
completed motor speedway of this
city becomes formally inaugurated,
opened today under ideal conditions.
The auto races and, perhaps even
more, the desire to see the most per-
feet motor speedway in the country
under working conditions, has at
tracted hundreds of automobile en-
thusiasts and representatives of auto
mobile manufacturing concerns to In
dianapolis and, as a result, the at
tendance on the opening day far sur
passed all expectations. The list of
entries is exceptionally large and in
cludes machines of all the principal
American and foreign makes.
Naturally, the principal interest
centers in the three long distance
races, one of which will take place
on each of three days of the meet
The principal event today is the $50
mile race for cars from 231 to 800
cubic inches piston displacement. the
other events being short sprints and
record trials by the free-for-all cars.
Tomorrow the semi-finals of the free
for-all races will be run, as we'll as
additional record trials. These events
will be followed by a 300-mile race
for the Prest-O-Lite trophy, possess
ing a coin value of $1,000. This
trophy will be forcars with sol to
$50 cubic inches piston displace-
ment.
On Saturday, the last day of the
meet, there will be the finals for the
free-for-all cars and a free-for-all
handicap, as well as race for stock
cars entered in the short events, with
a trophy for the driver who shall
have made the fastest mile during
the meet. This will be followed by
a stock event for cars ranging in pis-
ton displacement between 451 and
600 cubic inches This will be for
the Wheeler-Schebler trophy, stand
ing over eight feet in height and rep
resenting a silver coin value of $4,000
and a total value of about $4,000.

The Crop Situation

During the past two or three weeks.
the price of wheat has fallen gradu-
ally until this week the quotations are
around 75c for Club, which it seems
to be the general opinion is pretty
near the bottom figure for this season.
While some wheat is being hauled it
appears to be the general inclination
to hold for better price.
The first deliveries were received
at the local warehouses last Saturday,
among the first being Chas. Jessup.
F. NJ Talbot and Chas. Ameling.
The wheat from Chas. Jessup's
ranch was Little Club, running As
bushels to the acre, machine measure,
testing 81 lbs, and actually weighing
out better than so bushels to the acre
Herman Wilken of Cameron rep orts
that on little less than 10 acres oil
land, he threshed during the past
| week 2S7 sacks. or So bushels to the
acre, machine measure, which will
probably weigh out better than &C
bushels to the acre. This phenomi-
nal crop was spring wheat.
Chas. Hill reports iall wheat or
summer fallow running so bushels tc

Interview with the State
Grain Inspector

State Grain Inspector, A. w. Lee
spent Sunday at home and when asked
about his work stated: The Grain
Commission has had me looking after
the warehouse scales for the past two
weeks and it will take about three
weeks to finished the work. l find
many of the scales in bad condition.
not because dishonest people are
handling them, as many suppose, but
because in almost every case the bed
plates are laid on the wet earth with.
out any work for foundation; decay
soon sets in and one corner or side
sinks, putting the scales out of balance.
All scales are made to break on hall
pound before they are sealed and a
license issued.
The warehousing of grain Is new
fully protected by law in this state and
the buying and selling of grain should
be absolutely unrestricted. The ware
house receipts must show what the
sacks contains in the way of any smu
or foul matter, or the grain must be
piled in separate pile. In the frs
case. the receipt is as negotiable as {
bank check; In the latter case, the
farmer is as free to sell his grain Il
whom he chooses as he is to sci
II his horse that stands in tn,
livery barn. To avoid all confusion
the farmer should stamp his initials o,
every sack before it is filed"

Warning to Ranchers

]. M. Aldrich of the Agricultural
Experiment Station was in town Tues
day. having been called 10 Driscol
Ridge. where the Colorado potato
BEETLE has appeared. There are three
patches on the Nee Perez prairie, first
appearing about five years ago, but
doing little damage until this year.
These bugs have appeared in but two
or three places this side of of the
Rockies AMI this prairie is the only
place in Oregon, Washington or Idaho.
Some confound this beetle with the
lady bug which is somewhat resembles,
but if you see any bugs on your potato
vines and are not sure, see sample in
IN the Gazette Office.
Watch potato vines for first ap.
pearance OF the Colorado potato beetle,
which is doing much damage in parts
of Nez Perez prairie and appears to be
spreading. The beetle is the common
eastern potato bug, round yellow
beetle with black stripes lengthwise
the under parts and head of reddish
orange color. The young stages are
soft reddish grubs with shiny black
head. The eggs are yellow and are
laid in clusters on the under parts OIL
potato leaves.
Potato growing in the Inland Empire
is threatened by this insect and il:
spread should be prevented with an,
expenditure of time and effort, even il
the busy season. If it should DE founc
in new place, the insects should be
collected by hand with the Creates
care and destroyed. Where they have
become too numerous to handle b,
this method, the potato vines may BE-
sprinkled or sprayed with mixture Of
arsenate of lead in water, two tea
spoonsful of the poison to a pail Of
water; or one teaspoonful Of Pari.
sreen may be used in a pail of water
