Visitors Travel Faster On
Roads Than Home Folks

Visitors travel faster than the
home folks on the highways, and the
farther they come the faster they go,
according to a traffic survey by the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads and
the Connecticut State Highway De-
partment. AS reported in Public
Roads," the Bureau journal of high
way research. Connecticut cars av-
eraged 3S.2 miles an hour; cars from
neighboring Massachusetts, 4O.3
miles; from New York, Alb miles;
and from four midwestern States,
44.9 miles an hour in the daylight
during the summer.
There was no significant difference
in the average speed of men and wo-
men drivers. Men average a little
faster in the winter; women in the
summer. But, back seat drivers put
on the brakes. That is. cars with
passengers did not travel as fast on
the average as cars with only dri-
yer aboard. In the winter this differ
ence in speed averaged only about
half a mile an hour. but in summer
it was 2 miles.
Average speeds were fastest in the
early morning, slowed gradually
during the day, picked up a little
from 5 to 6 in the evening, and les
sened in the dark hours.
The driving records of 9S1 high
speed drivers were checked against
tba raoardo 0f I05A moderate driv-
ers. Thirty per cent more of the fast
drivers had been in accidents and
they averaged As per cent more ae-
cidents than those who drove at
moderate speeds.
The timing was done with the aid
of a stop watch and mirrors from
car parked at the side of the road so
that drivers would not slow down for
fear of a speed trap.

18TH EDITION OF KENT
SPRAY NOTES ARE OUT
IContinned from First Psge1

! LOfsF~
have been distributed to fruit grow
ers through the county extension
office. Throughout these years this
spray service has developed into one
of the most appreciated forms of
agricultural news bulletins. as these
spray notes contain timely informa-
ton in regard to spray materials
AS a further protection against
the codling moth, however, another
application is being recommended at
this time, which in most orchards
should prove sufficient for effective
control. In those orchards in which
further difficulty is anticipated, 1t
would be advisable to make another
application during the week of Au-
gust 8.
In regard to the peach situation,
DR.. Adams states that If a fungici-
dal coverage has not been renewed
this moth, a wettable sulphur, or
sulphur dust, should be applied to
those varieties which are to be har-
vested within the next two weeks.
This should assist In improving the
carrying qualities, also prevent any
late scab infection in the event
rainy period should occur before
harvest.
and the effect of weather conditions
on insect emergence, and disease,
prevalence in orchards and vine
yards.
For this sixth cover spray on APP
pies, growers may use 3 pounds OF
arsenate of lead and pounds of hy-
drafted lime to each 100 gallons OF
spray, provided the fruit is to be
washed. If the washing equipment,
is lacking, however, growers may
substitute / pint of nicotine sui
phate and i gallon of summer oil for
the arsenate of lead and lime, but no
sulphur fungicide should be combin-
ed with this spray.
Unfortunately most apple growers
have experienced disappointments
with tfieir early crop because of low
prices and poor sizing. but a some
what more favorable situation exists
this season than was the case last !
year from the standpoint Of the con-
iition and quality of the late varie-
ties of apples in this section. Ac-
cording to DIR. l. A. Stearns, ento-
mologist of the Delaware expert
ment station, heavy flights of adult
