The power barrier
There's wall between you and full
engine power. 1t is caused by lead and
carbon deposits that glow red hot in
combustion chambers to pre-ignite
fuel before the piston is in proper fir
ing position.
These same deposits form on spark
plugs and act as electrical conductors
to short-circuit them. Then your spark
plugs misfire.
These twin power thieves, pre-
ignition and mis6ring, are most active
when you need power most, during
acceleration or on hills.

fuel additive, corrects both pre-ignition

Using Weed SPrayer
For Insecticides
Is 9 K-Sometines

One farmer may say mat he has
used spraying machine for APP
plying weed killers, then used the
same machine for applying insecti-
cides without damaging the crop.
A neighbor may disagree, claim
ing his crops were badly damaged
when they sprayed insecticide with
a machine that had formerly been
used for applying herbicides.
Both could be right" says r.
l.. Bissell, University of Maryland
Extension entomologist. THE sue
cess of failure Of using the same
machine for weeds and insects de-
ponds on such things as the type
of weed killer previously used, the
crops to be sprayed and the method
Of cleaning"
Bissell explains that if the weed
killer was one of the phenoXyacetic
acid compounds (2,4-D, PAST and
MOP are eXamples), then the farm
er could easily run into trouble if
he uses the machine for insect
spraying.
IF another type of chemical
weed killer was used the equip
ment may be safely used for in
secticides after being washed out
thoroughly with water and a small
amount Of detergent" the ento-
mologist adds.
If the weed killer used was
phenoxyacetic acid compound such
as PAD, the next thing to be CON
sidered is the crop to be sprayed.
Grapes and tomatoes, for example,
are highly susceptible to this fam

The folks at Northern High
school are Just finishing the job of
grading and seeding around the
school. Part of the work consisted
of taking care Of storm run-off
from the area back of the build
ings. First, a long diversion ter
race was built above the two play
ing fields to protect them against
water from the pasture area
above. Water will be carried in
this diversion, all the way to the
woods at the back edge Of the
cleared area.
Next, it was necessary to care
for the water falling on the graded
athletic fields. Otherwise, water
from one field would have run down
across the other, damaging the
lower field and the terrace between;
and the accumulated run-off would
have damaged a roadway and
washed away a bank at the edge
Of the graded area. So belms were
thrown up at the lower edges Of
the fields, to lead the water slowly
to points where it could be disposed
Of. Part Of it is carried in another
diversion terrace to a grassed slope
where it can do no harm. The net
result is a pretty good example Of
conselvationist's aim Of making
running water walk
The Soil Conservation District is
proud to have had part in the
planning and doing of this job. All
Of the work on the school land is
an example Of cooperation by pub
lie agencies to accomplish two ends.
One is the actual improvement of
the grounds. The other, equally or
more important, is to do it in
way that the work can be used to
teach boys and girls something
about conservation and protection
of the land.
In planning the use Of land at
the school people have sought, and
received, and used help from all T.
the agencies having anything to
do with conservation. These include /
the Game and Fish Commission, /
Extension Service, Forests and |
Parks Department, Soil Conserva-
ton District, and County Roads De /
partment. Education is Of no small /
part of any conservation program
and the educational value Of the I
work done at this school property
will be felt on Garrett County land I
for a long time.
