Chevrolet Reports
Gain in Car Sales

A reversal of the downward trend
that ordinarily oharacterizes the
retail automotive business index
during the midsummer months was
reported by Chevrolat's Central
Office here today when figures for
the second ten-day sales period in
July showed gains over both the
preceding period this year and the
same period in 1888.
A total of 21,7S9 new passenger
and commercial cars were sofa
at retail by Chevrolet dealers the
nation over. the report shows,
which is a gain of 3,289 units over
the 1S.509 reported for the first
ten days of the month and an IN
crease of 1885 over the 1888 re-
ported for the period last year.
In the month-to-date, Chevrolet
dealers have retailed 40,3O7 ne"
units, 10,450 above the z9'oo' Soiu
during the first 20 days of July
1893. This represents an increase
of $50 per cent.
Used car sales also showed d
substantial gain for the period as
against the preceding 10 days. A
total of 5O,764 units were sold, for
an increase of 26.6 per cent over
the 4O.O96 retailed from July l to
10. This is a unit gain OF 1868
Used car sales, month to date
also were up, with 4,312 more
units being sold thus far in July
1929 than in the same period last
wear. The month-to-date total
was 90,S60.

Notes On
Plant Protection
Bv DIR. ]. G.. Brown,
Salt River Valley Cotton


A recent survey of Acala cotton
in the Salt River valley revealed
the presence of angular leaf spot
in the seedlings of most fields
planted with fuzzy seed; no angu-
lar leaf spot was found in fields
planted with acid-delinted seed.
Less than one per cent of the
disease was the rule, yet one fleio
showed an estimated 10 to Is per
cent, and the worst field showed
about SO per cent infection. Un-
der the prevailing dry condition
leaf spot may be thrown off, to a
great extent. At prestnt, Infection
is mainly restricted to the two
seed leaves" which naturally come
in contact with the infected coats
during early sprouting and when
are naturally dropped in the late
growth of the Seeding. However,
a few cases of the more permanent
type of angular leaf spot (block-
ARM were present.
Early in the development of cot
ton farming IN Arizona angular
leaf spot and blackarm were aD-
sent, or nearly so, in Acala cot
ton. but the disease was found
more or less abundantly in Pima
Egyptian cotton. Some growtrs
came to believe that upland cot
ton in Arizona was immune.
Angular leaf spot was first de-
scribed on upland cotton in the
South and there appeared to be no
evidence that our geographical To-
cation should induce immunity.
To try the relation of the upland
cotton to the germ of angular leaf
spot. we planted part of field on
the Salt River Valley Experiment
Farm with Acala seed which had
been thoroughly wetted with a
culture of the angular leaf spot
bacterium. The result was an in
fection of more than 80 percent;
furthermore, a large proportion OF
| the bolls were ruined. The previ-
Gus apparent immunity of the crop
had been due to lack of contact
| with the germ of the disease and
not at all to immunity.
Angular leaf spot is unavoidabiy
spread in the ginning process
since the bacterium of the disease
easily grows through the lint in
| the moist heaps of seed. Probably
the germ was first brought to
Arizona in the very susceptible
Egyptian variety.
Because upland cotton and Pima
Egyptian were grown separately
in more or less well-defined dis
tricts and ginned separately, some
time elapsed before the upland cot
ton seed became contaminated.
Occasionally, the planting Of the
two kinds of cotton in adjacent
fields permitted the spread of the
leaf spot from Pima to upland,
gins handling upland cotton beams
infected, and the disease grdual-
ly increased in upland cotton fields
as a result. The maxium infection
thus far found in upland cotton
