Previously the State had sought an

RALEIGH, n. c.. July 31.-Unique
in annals of American bridge testing,
a project to load the huge concrete
span of the Yadkin River bridge until
it cracks, will be undertaken about
October /. State highway commission
officials said today.
BY so doing North Carolina will
be taking foremost place in the era
of great bridges not by way Of CON
structing a large bridge but in the OPP
posite way--in the destruction of one.
The Swift Island concrete arch
bridge across the Yadkin River, the
first OF several similar structures
built by the State highway commits
sion in 1921, will be cracked by test
ing of the heaviest load it can stand
and heavier than that, and then
dynamited.
Engineers Interested.
The Carolina Power and Light Co.
is building a dam which will raise
water above the present bridge. w.
F. Hunter, State bridge department
engineer, conceived the idea of test
ing the Yadkin River bridge to see
just how big a load it would carry,
and to load it until it breaks.
While the idea appeals to the popu-
lar imagination, it is no less of wide
scientific interest, "the chance of
lifetime" Hunter enthusiastically said.

DIVORCE" said Judge Joseph B.
David in a side remark from the

Judge David doesn't give interviews.
When he has something to say, he
says 1t from the bench.
THE man cheats the wife. The
wife cheats the husband. They both
cheat the children and conspire. to
cheat the judge" he declared. And
after all. why gum up the courts with
fraudulent divorces? A judge hears

SUMMARY OF MTLDEW
INVESTIGATION FILED

currence and prevalence OF mildew
in these districts during certain
years. Until complete records for
the present season are available an
analysis Of this data can not be
made.
Specimens Collected
SpccimcnS of powdery mildew on
dahlia, squash. and pumpkin plants
were collected at Hcmet, Califor-
mia. GoldengIow plants infected
with powderv mildew were found
growing on the grounds of the ex-
norimcnt station at Riverside.
Leaves Of infected squash plants
were obtained from San Luis Rey.
California. Infected material was
secured from cassaha and japanese
melon vines growing near Airing
ron. Measurements Of conidia
from these leaves and plants were
made and found To compare closely
with those made of conidia secured
from infected plants in Imperial
Valley. Cantaloupe plants in the
greenhouse were inoculated with
conidia from dahlia and cassaba
leaves and became infected. Other
infection experiments attempted
proved unsuccessful.
Cantaloupe plants of uniform
size growing in six inch pots were
busted with sulphur and placed in
the compartments of the constant
temperature apparatus. The tenn
peratureS maintained in the several
compartments were 11.0 degrees,
100 degrees. 21.5 degrees. 32.5 de
greeS. and 34.5 degrees. The hum
iditv in all compartments approach
cd the saturation point. Sulphur
injury Of the more mature basal
leaves appeared within five days
upon plants held at l6.0 degrees c
and above. The plants held at a
lower temperature showed no eVi-
denre of sulphur injury during the
course Of the experiment. The num-
Der Of leaves affected and the Sc
verify of the injury increased with
the higher temperatures at which
the plants in the other chambers
were held The extent of the injury
increased rs the experiment pro-
gressed. All plants held at 32.5 de
greeS G. were killed al the end OF
eight days

of sulphur are in progress, and will
be continued.
In January of this year the field
work was transferred to the lmper-
ial Valley. Field trials of various
soil. dust, and spray applications
for the control of mildew are in
progress at the present time on the
Tamaraek ranch. \ 10 acre field of
cantaloupes is being used for these
, te@;s which involve in all, 234 plots.
The dust treatments were applied
at the rate of ). 10, lJ. and 20
pounds per acre. The soil applica-
tionS were made at the rate of 80.
60, 90, and 120 pounds per acre.
These total quantities Of the vari-
Gus materials were put on in one,
two, and three installments: the
first. during the last week in
March, the second, four weeks. and
the third, eight weeks later. 4
series of from one to five apphca.
lons of numerous sprays were made
at two week intervals beginning
April $.
Mlldew Found
Mildew was found within two
limited areas in the experimental
field on June 13. Since then it
has spread so slowly that at the
present time (June 20) a large por
tion of the fold is still free from
the disease. Until mildew becomes
generally distributed information
as 10 the control value of the tests
will be incomplete.
The soil applications of sulphur
proved to be more or less injurious
10 the plants, the amount of injury
varying directly with the amount
of sulphur applied The extent of
the sulphur injury is also influenc-
cd BY the time and method Of ap-
plieation. \ slight difference in
the toxicity Of the several kinds of
sulphur used was noted. 4 number
of the sprays applied have been
found to be too injurious to the
plants to warrant their use in fu,
ture control tests.
The Investigations will be CON
tinued during the summer and fall
of this wear in the field greenhouse
and laboratory at Riverside. Fur
ther field experiments in Imperial
Valley during the cantaloupe sea
son of 1923 are planned.
