VICTOR IN VANDERBILT CUP RACE
AT SANTA MONICA, CAL.
oldfield, Close second-Driver Perils
Mechan;can and Self, When He
Passes Italian at death Curve"

Santa Monica Race Course, CAL,
Feb. 28.-The Vanderbilt cup automo-
bile classic was won by Ralph de
Palma on Thursday when he sent his
Mercedes car 294.0S5 miles in 3 hours
81 minutes and Al seconds. This is
an average of 75.5 miles an hour. Bar
ney Oldfield, driving a Mercer car,
was second in hours SIS minutes and
/ second.
At the beginning of the thirtieth lap
De Palma was 80 seconds behind Old
field. but the latter started SO seconds
ahead of De Palma and would have 10
gain, so seconds in the remaining t1ve
laps to defeat the winner of the last
Vanderbilt cup race.
Oldfield went into the lead at the
end of the twenty-third lap, with De
Palma close second. The crowd
went wild when the announcement
was made that George Joermann, pilot
of the Touraine, an entry that was be-
lieved without a possible chance OF
running more than few laps, was the
surprise of the classic. At the END OF
his nineteenth lap Joermann was
driving a clever race and holding
tight grip on fifth place. When Old
field had completed Is laps he was still
in the lead, followed in order by De
Palma, Carlson, Cooper, Joermann and
Janette.
AS Oldfield passed De Palma he en-
acted piece of the most daring driv-
ing ever witnessed on any Vanderbilt
cup race course. The two machines
had passed the grand stand with only
few seconds separating them. AS they
approached death curve" right
angle turn, Oldfield put on all power
and overlook De Palma. With death
for himself and his mechanician GER
tainty If he sent his car one inch out
of the path, Oldfield dashed onto the
curve and swung around De Palma's
Mercedes.
He kept the lead on the straight
away and passed the grand stand 100
feet ahead of De Palma. The shouting
of the crowd was thunderous.

REBEL OEFIEs u. s.
BRYAN coNFERS WITH VIII SON.
cARRANzA REFUSES TO ACT
IN BENTON CASE.
GREAT BRITAIN MUST ASK
information Given to State Depart
rnent at Washington Shows That
Briton Was Murdered in Villas
Office-Investigators Halted.

Washington, March 3.-Gen. Venus
tiano Carranza's defiance to the
United States created a new and
grave crisis in Mexican affairs here.
1t brought the president and Secre-
tary Bryan together for another con-
ference on Sunday.
The conference lasted an hour and
half, and then Secretary Bryan held
a consultation at the state depart
ment with Solicitor Folk, who has
charge of the Benton case, and with
Beaz Long, chief of the Latin division.
From there Secretary Bryan went to
the British embassy to furnish the
British government, as agreed, with
the latest developments.
City of Mexico, March 3.-President
Huerta insisted on furnishing spe-
cial police gaurd for the American en-
bassy. He told Charge O'Shaughnessy
on Saturday there might be justifica-
ton for the presence of guard and
as he deplored the bringing Of marines
to the capital he would provide a
sublegation guard.
Nogales, Sonora, March General
Carranza on Saturday declined to fur
nish information to the state depart
ment at Washington regarding the
killing at Juarez of William s. Benton,
a British subject. At the same time
he assured Secretary Bryan that he
would investigate the disappearance
of Gustav Bauch, an American citizen.
The attitude of the revolutionary
leader was that the death of Benton
should be taken up through the diplo-
matte channels of his own country,
Great Britain, and not by the United
States.
Carranza announced his position in
two notes addressed in response to
Mr.. Bryan's requests for information
to Consul Frederick Simpich. The
notes were delivered by Ysidro Fa-
bella, Carranza's acting secretary of
foreign relations"
In his reference to the Benton case
Carranza pointedly remarked that
Mr.. Bryan's original message, received
three days ago, was the first official
mention of the tragedy brought to his
attention as directing head of the rev.
olution He did not say that any in
vestigation was being made on his
part.
Washington, March 3.-William S..
Benton was unarmed and was shot
dead in Villas Office with a pistol,
says conclusive information that has
reached Washington officials.
Juarez, Mex, March 3.-The Ben
ton investigating commission on Sun
day was prevented from proceeding
to Chihuahua to examine the slain
Briton's body by rebel orders. Col.
Fidel Avila, military commander here,
declined to permit it to board the
regular passenger train which was
waiting. An authoritative admission
to this effect dispelled reports that
the commission was halted on orders
from Washington.

Pruning Grapes
And ScuppernOngs

T. H. Mediation, Professor of Horti-
culture, Georgia State College of Ag.
riculture.
Most plants can be pruned at any
season of the year. Grapes and
scuppernongs, however, will succumb
If pruned during the growing season.
The grape vine. is so porous that
when pruned during the growing sea-
son the sap is pumped out of the
vine and, as we commonly say, "The
plant bleeds to death"
The grapes and scuppernongs bear
fruit on last years shoots, so if al.
lowed to grow and bear as they will,
the fruit wood gets farther and far
Their away from the main plant each
year and has tendency to overbear.
The fruit does not seem to be as well
nourished as when closer to the
source of food supply. For this rea-
son the general principle in pruning
grapes should be to cut back the
canes that grow this year, leaving
only from to 6 buds. These buds
will produce a like number of shoots
that will bear fruit next season. A
grape vine that has as many as 20
bearing shoots should produce a
heavy crop of fruit.

ORDERS FOR AUTO TRUCKS
CONTINUE TO POUR in
One Concern Has European Contracts
Sufficient to Keep 1t Going Until
Summer.

From the New York American.
Orders from foreign countries for
American products continue to pour
into manufacturers owing to the war.
An automobile company represent
alive said his concern had received
enough orders for trucks to keep going
at capacity speed until well into next
summer.
New York jobbers in underwear are
having great difficulty to fill their re-
quirements from the factories, owing
to the heavy orders placed by foreign
government agents. The orders for
underwear from the belligerent ma
tons have been greatest from Russia's
agents, exceeding the combined total
of any other two of the warning coun-
tries. Russia has also placed a repui-
sition for 5000 wooden army caps.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-10-26

1t has been generally supposed
that scuppernong vines will not bear
pruning, but this is not SO. They
should be treated similarly to ordi-
nary grape vines, only they should
be allowed to retain more bearing
shoots.
1t is well to prune grapes before
Christmas, though the ordinary grape
vines could be pruned as late as jan
uary. Scuppernongs must be pruned
before Christmas, otherwise they will
bleed seriously. Should it happen
that a scuppernong vine becomes
broken or injured and begins to bleed
badly, 1t can be stopped by burning
the end of the bleeding vine with a
hot iron, or by putting grating wax
over the wound. Scuppernong vines
pruned previous to Christmas do not
bleed.

General Agent O. E. Jenkins, of the
New York Central lines, with head
quarters in this city, has returned
from a two weeks trip to the Dakota,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin thoroughly
convinced that general business is in
a healthy state in that section of the
country. He said that he observed the
usual number of people travelling on

freight as result largely of the alb
undant crops.
"The farmers" said Mr.. Jenkins, 'in
that part of the country are wonder
fully prosperous. Crops are abundant
and are being mover freely. Neither
politics nor war is being felt to any
extent in the sections visited, and !
am inclined to believe from what /

Home Raised Foods Bulwark of
Europe--South's Present Crying Need
Pres Andrew NJ Soue Georgia State College of Agriculture

To Georgian visiting Europe, that
which stands out paramount in agri-
culture, is the absolutely complete util-
ization of land in producing food sup
plies, not one, nor a few kinds of
food for each farm, but as complete
circle of food requirements as it is
possible to raise.
What is the result in times of war?
There is a food supply at home.
What would happen in the South
should an enemy cut its lines of COM
munication with food supplies
Where would an enemy first attack
and invade this country if not the
South, where food supplies might be
cut off?
What has actually happened in the
South with war thousands of miles
away? The cotton market largely de-
stroyed; prices of cotton ruinous; the
South with paralyzed purchasing pow
er; food prices soaring; buying power
falling; to buy food a necessity. Ger
tainly a gloomy predicament, yet one
from which it is extricating itself
with far less of calamity than might
be expected, chiefly because of the
sympathetic assistance of the more
fortunate people Of the South and of
the nation as whole.
What is the lesson to be learned
from this terrific blow? Certainly not

war in the manufacture of it's own

DR.. C. E. Monroe, of the George Wash
ington University faculty, in an ad-
dress last night before the Chemical

both opened a new field for chemical

for both years showed larger yields
where land was disced.
