In mid-afternoon of June 1, 1909, five primitive motorcars motor-cars started out from New York City Hall headed for Seattle, Wash., in what was officially called the "Ocean-to-Ocean Automobile Endurance Contest." Two of the five were Model T Fords, designated No. 1 and No. 2. The others were a Shawmut, an Acme and an Itala names now long since forgotten in the automotive industry, Ford No. 2 reached Seattle at 12:55 p.m., June 23, nearly 17 hours ahead of its nearest competitor, the Shawmut, and was the first car ever to travel from New York to Seattle under its own power. Ford No. 1 came in third, the Aems fourth. The Itala broke down and was shipped in by freight. The historic contest is being re-enacted this month by a Ford Motor Company caravan which, as nearly as possible, is following the same route and same day-to-day schedule as the original contestants. Included in the caravan are a duplicate of the victorious No. 2 Ford; Ford Motor Company's 50 millionth vehicle, a Galaxie four-door sedan; a 1908 Model K Ford which paced the competitors from New York to St. Louis, Mo.; and an exhibit van, the displays of which show a look into the past and a glance at the future of the automotive industry, The above picture shows (top left) the two Model T Fords on the starting line in New York City Hall plaza; top right, Ford No. 2 as it stopped to cool off in Cleveland, 0.; lower left, a duplicate of the original Ford No. 2, elong with Ford's 50 millionth (the exhibit van U in the background); lower right, the late Henry Ford (in derby hat and long overcoat) greeting Ford No. 2, with driver Bert Scott and mechanic C J.

Weeds Irrigation waters are often a real "supply house" for weed seeds because be-cause of the heavy growth of weeds which line river banks, canal can-al banks, and ditches in Utah. Steps can and should be taken to reduce the number of these seeds on our farms by irrigation water. It is not practical for one farmer farm-er to spray the entire water system sys-tem to get rid of the weeds they produce. But a practical approacn is to install a weed screen where the water enters the farm. An effective weed screen con sists of a series of horizontal screens, graded in size from about V4 inch mesh to a fine wire screen or cloth. In some areas, where very small weeds are a problem, a nylon cloth is used as the final section. These screens should be placed so they are easily removed for emptying and cleaning. By removing weed seeds from the irrigation water with screens, the cost of weed control can be greatly reduced. And as a final precaution, make certain that the weeds are eliminated from along your own ditch banks. Electricity If you think 115 volts of electricity electric-ity won't hurt you, you're apt to be in for a "shocking" experience. Under certain conditions, 115 volts have killed people and livestock. A cause has often been improper grounding. Any voltage above that used on doorbell systems" should be considered con-sidered dangerous. And it IS if not properly handled. Many appliances and pieces of electrical equipment using 115 volts are not grounded, thus creating an electrical hazard. When an electrical electri-cal charge builds up on the frame of such equipment due to worn insulation or faulty connections, it will take the quickest and easiest path to ground. This may be your body. To prevent your body from being the electrical path, provide a wire conductor to convey the current to the ground. This is called "grounding" the equipment. Equipment such as washing machines, ma-chines, dishwashers, bathroom heaters, kitchen and bathroom ventilating ven-tilating fans, water pumps or other appliances used in damp places require re-quire special attention to proper grounding. So does portable electrical elec-trical equipment such as drills and saws. Most power suppliers or electricians elec-tricians will help you to check your electric equipment for proper grounding. Thrips and Aphids Thrips have been reported to be extremely abundant in some alfalfa al-falfa fields of Utah this Spring. Pea aphids and spotted alfalfa aphids are also threatening alfalfa damage dam-age i nsome areas. Fortunately, control measures that will destroy the aphids will Millard County Chronicle Thursday, June 18, 1959 Jr. M-Men Ball League Re-Sdiedoled JUNE 19th 7:00 Delta 2nd vs. Delta 3rd 8:10 Abraham vs. Delta 1st 9:20 Leamington vs. Oak City JUNE 26th 7:00 Deseret vs. Lynndyl 8:10 Delta 1st vs. Oak City 9:20 Oasis vs. Sutherland JULY 3rf 7:00 Delta 3rd vs. Deseret 8:10 Lynndyl vs. Leamington 9:20 Oak City vs. Oasis TULY 9th 7:00 Abraham vs. Delta 2nd 8:10 Deseret vs. Leamington 9:20 Delta 1st vs. Delta 3rd also kill the thrips present in the fields at the time of treatment. However, thrips present a particular particu-lar problem by migrating about actively ac-tively from field to field and 'from weeds to crop plants. If these insects are presenting a problem to you, contact your local county agent for information and assistance. Marven J. Ogden, County Ag. Agent Pests Beneficial Insects have reduced the aphid threat to many alfalfa and small grain fields in Southern Utah, reports Dr. George F. Knowl-ton, Knowl-ton, Extension Entomologist with Utah State University. Pea aphids and spotted alfalfa aphids on alfalfa, and the corn leaf aphid on wheat and barley were a serious threat to crops a month ago when Washington and Kane Counties' insect conditions were surveyed in cooperation with County Agricultural Agents, J. Keith Hughes and LaVar Eichman, A few hundred acres of alfalfa and barley had to be sprayed during April in Washington County. Ladybird beetles, aphid lions, syr- phid fly larvae, damsel bugs, min ute pirate bugs, big-eyed bugs, and melyrid beetles have "ganged up" on the aphids. While aphids still are present in all fields, seldom are they in numbers justifying the cost of control at this time. Were it not for the help we re ceive from beneficial insect parasites para-sites and predators, insectivorous birds, frogs, toads, and lizards, it would be much more difficult and expensive to protect our crops from insect and mite pests. Follow a good fruit spray schedule sched-ule if you desire colorful, high- quality, insect-free fruit. Commerc ial fruit growers generally time their pest control sprays well. They begin with the delayed dormant spray in early Spring. (Apple and pear spray schedules during the remainder re-mainder of the season differ from spray programs on peaches and apricots.) Home orchards seldom produce top quality apples and pears as the common pests attacking attack-ing them are usually but partially, or not at all, controlled. Is it time to spray? The best way to know is to watch your orchards; or-chards; learn to recognize the com moner pests, and to follow the of ficial fruit spray program. This cir cular, No. 272, is available without cost to you from your local County Extension Agent's office.
