Relay Victory Nets
Two-Point Margin;
ShankIe Outstanding
By GEORGE Huber

Maryland SQueaked through
as track champion of the new
Atlantic Coast Conference yes
terday. but it was Joel Shankle
of Duke who stole the spotlight
at College Park with another of
his terrific one-man shows.
Shankle missed his aim of five
f1rst-place medals when he had
to settle for a tie in the pole
vault and when he tripped over
the last hurdle of the 220-yard
low timber race to spread him.
self over the track.
AS it was. the 6-foot-3, 180-
pound Duke junior accounted for
the only new record (they used
Southern Conference records as
standards at which to Shoot)
with % feet. 55s inches in the
broad jump. He also won the low
hurdles and the high jump
along with his pole vault tie
for 1912 points.
Shankle'S hurdles spill on his
final test of a long and tiring
afternoon came when he was
leading and seemed a certain
winner, and, in fact, it pre-
vented him from matching or
bettering his performance of
last year in the old Southern
Conference when he scored %
points.
Terps Win by Two Points.
Just as thrilling for the Mary
landers was the team victory
the Terrapins scored by less
than two points over North
Carolina, with a win in the mile
relay, last event on the program,
the decisive factor.
The quartet of Phil Stroup,
Joe Hemler, Burke Wilson and
Jim Pentzer won this in S:20.2-.
best time this season by several
seconds. The Tar Heels, who
entered this final race leading
in the team totals, finished fifth.
That made the difference.
The final points were Mary
land. 59H: North Carolina.
81 N10; Duke, AZ 9/1O; South
Carolina, 3715; Virginia, 16h;
Clemson, 612, and North Carolina
State, S.
What turned out to be the
tightest race yesterday was, un-
expectedly, the mile. It took al
most a photo finish to put Ben
Good of Maryland ahead of Garn
Mcbride of South Carolina, in
4:22.4. Good was the early leader
but Mcbride took charge at the
gun lap and had a 10-yard lead
coming out of the final turn.
Good put on a really fine finish
ing kick to come up from behind
on the rail and nip the Came
cock runner by hardly an inch.
WOOdlee Wins Sprints.
Aside from Shankle, the only
man with more than one victory
was Tommy Woodlee, "the fast
est human being in the State of
South Carolina" who gave the !
Gamecocks their two f1rSt-place
medals with a go seconds win In
the 100-yard dash and with 22.1
seconds in the 22O. In both he
outran JEFF Newton, North Caro-
lina'S best.
In addition to Shankle, there
were three defending champions
tfrom the old Southern Con-
ference) in the meet, and all
were winners again. Jim Pentzer
of Maryland came home first in
the 40 in 49.6 seconds; Durham
Lawshe of Duke again was top
man in the shot put with so
feet, 434 inches inches under
the record he set last year
and Harry Brown of North Caro-
lima was nearly 10 feet better |
than his 1858 in the javelin with
199 feet, 312 inches. LawShe also
took second in the discus.

Sweet Potato Scurf Controlled
Al Little Cost Says County Agent

Is Sweet Potato scurf a problem
on your farm? If SO, this is the
season to consider methods for
controlling it.
This disease can be controlled
at little cost and since free seed
treatment service is being offered
in many communities, it is a good
time to start a series of practices
that will eliminate scurf from the
new crop OF potatoes" says c. d.
Raper, County Agent.
Scurf is caused by a fungus that
lives in the soil for several years
and it is present in the scurfy
spots on the diseased potato. None
of the chemicals we use for treat
ing seed potatoes will destroy the
fungus in the infected root, there
fore 1t is necessary to discard all
infected roots and treat the scurf
free potatoes before bedding as
they may be contaminated with
spores of thescurf fungus and 9TH
er organisms. 1t is useless and a
waste of time to treat scurfy pota-
toes as the fungus survives inside
the root and will infect the sprouts
as they develop. Therefore. the
first step in controlling scurf is to
remove infected roots and treat
the disease free potatoes in a
SemeSan Bel bath.
1t is sometimes difficult to select
cut all scurfy potatoes in a badly
infected crop. In many cases the
scurf spot is small and NAV be
mistaken for soil discoloration. AS
second step in controlling scurf,
II is recommended that the crop
be planted with vine cuttings from
the plant bed. This will further
assure disease free plants because
the Scurt organism only attacks
those parts of the plant below the
soil surface. In case it is not prac-
teal TO plant the entire crop from
vine cuttings you can produce
Scurf free potatoes for bedding
next year by setting a part of YOUR
crop with vine cuttings and using
roots from this planting for bed
ding in 1855.
Since the scurf organism lives
IN the soil for several years, land
that produced scurfly potatoes
should be planted to other crops
Tor a few years. In soils. such as
Norfolk sandy loan. a 2 to 3 wear
rotation may be sufficient to
StarVe out the organism: while in
dark heavy soils. rich in organic
matter, 1t may take 3 to 5 years
10 eliminate the organism through
crop rotation. Select land that pro-
duced Scurf free potatoes. or has
oeen out of potatoes for several
years for setting the healthy
sprouts or vine cuttings.

VIII do the job. Seed treatment is
me only practice requiring addi-
'lonai expense, and in many areas
this service is given free. Vine
cuttings generally produce smooth
err potatoes and crop rotation is a
GOOD farm practice. These are ad-
ditional benefits besides controll-
.ng Scurf.

| joyous occasion of Israers day of

Inquisition Square, in the pres
ence of the minister of Israel and
the head of the Indian Jews.
It has been about fifteen years,
since the gates of Mexico were
closed to new Jewish immigrants.
Except for a few hundred souls
who were pushed into the country
over the years, the gates could not
be opened, even during the times
of the prosecutions by Hitler.
You may think that these Jews,
of more tn a n twenty thousand
persons, committed some wrong
against Mexico and are therefore
banned from entering the country.
On the contrary; all objective in
vestigations have proved, that the
Jews were a blessing for the
country, for its industries, and for
its culture.
In the tremendous progress in
civilization which Mexico has
made in the last generation, the
Jewish genius of enterprise has
played a great role. By the way,
the new stream of Eastern Euro
pean Jewish immigrants came
about by the specific invitation of
the Mexican president, General
Plotarka Gales, who wrote in his
manifesto the following: eve are
dispatching a friendly invitation
to Jews, telling them that they
should come to Mexico and be
ready to build the national indus
