ton and other chemical phenomena
have been suggested as factors in
causing detonation, said DR.. Edgar, in
summing up the various theories ad-
vanced here and abroad.
THE thermal decomposition of such
well known knock suppresSors as
tetraethyl lead has suggested that the
dispersed atoms of lead may oXidiZe
ahead of the flame and spread the re-
action more evenly through the burn
ing mass" he continued.
1T has also been suggested by a
German that the electrical conductiv-
ity of the fuel determines its knock
characteristics, while a FTenchman
has thought that defamation is caused
by sharp metallic corners, or edges, IN
the engine, and these are rounded oil
by metallic lead from such a suppress
Sor as tetraethyl lead.

The f1exibility and small amount of

educated fuel users, both domestic
and industrial, to the fact that 1t is
desirable to sacrifice some of the in

SUGAR BEET
INDUSTRY IS
MOVING EAST
Crops in California and Other
Far West States ScOurged
By Curly Top

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20 -tP,-
Scourged by virus disease known
as .curly top" the sugar beet in
dustry Of tn west, highly important
to American refineries, is moving
definitely eastward.
Federal reports show that three
large factories owned by one sugar
company in southern California
were idle this year, while opera
tions shifted as far east as Mime
sofa. Scores of long-established
beet fields in other states were
abandoned in favor of new, unin-
tested locations.
The manufacture Of sugar in Call
ifornia dropped from $4,000 tons
in 1924 to 10000 tons in 1926; in
Utah from 10000 tons to $4,000
tons; in Idaho from $4,000 to $4,000,
and in Nebraska from 10000 to
100000. Increases are reported in
Montana and Wyoming, and east
ern Colorado retained supremacy as
the center Of beet production in the
west.
Eastern Growers Not Troubled
Ohio, Michigan and other humid
states showed a general increase.
Eastern groves are not troubled
with curly top, since it is transmit
ted only by a desert-brcd insect, the
sugar beet ''leafhopper."
If the winter is mild this tiny
disease vcctor breeds prolificly on
desert vegetation. Favored by
strong winds, swarms of the insects
may be carried hundred Of miles
to ravagc young beet crops. The
leafhopper itself does not cause
curly top, but by feeding on infect
ed plants transmits the disease to
healthy beets. Frequently entire
fields have been ruined.
Spray will not control the leaf
hopper. 1t does not eat from the
surface, but feeds from the inside
Of the plant leaf by long, almost
minute protector. The disease virus
it carries from infected plants is
much smaller than bacteria. 1t never
has been seen. even by the best in
struments of science.
Psychologists Busy
Because IF its peculiar nature
plant Psychologists are convinced
curly top can be counteracted only
by Commercial use of disease-re-
sistant varieties, number of
which have been developed by gov
eminent experimentation and have
proved successful. No wholly inn
mune strains, however, have been
found and ,cause Of the relatively
low sugar content in resistant types
authorities have hesitated to rec
ommend them to commercial grow
ers. Effort nov is turned to crea-
ton Of sugar beet hybrid in which
qualities Of resistant types and
strains highly productive Of sugar
are expected to be combined fol
establishment of suitable variety.
Over period of ten years three
foufths to four-fifths Of the entire
sugar outp, of continental America
has been manufactured from beets
the bulk Of which was grown on ir.
rigated farlls Of the west.
