CHARLES CURTIS Another Confederate - • ■ Veteran Passes Away W. B. Carroll, aged 82 years, died at his home near Blackville, June 6th, after two years of ill health. His be4y was lakl to rest the following day in the Double Ponds Churchyard, the Rev. B. H. Duncan, of Blackville, conducting the funeral services in the presence of a large gathering of rela tives and friends. Mr. Carroll was a Veteran of the Lost Cause, having enlisted in the Confederate Arm in. 1863. He was a member of Company B, Second S. C. Artillery. For many years he was superintendent of the Double Ponds Sunday Schools and always took an active interest in the affairs jof his church and community. Mr. Carroll, whose wife preceded him to the grave about eight years ago, is survived by one daughter, Mrs v Sam Still; one son, S. B. Carroll; 23 grandchildren and 18 great-grand children, who have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. Potato-Tomato Union Good Graft for Farms St. Louis.—A “good graft” (not of the political variety) which anyone may try and which will reward a lit tle patience with' a double crop is de scribed in a recent bulletin of the Missouri Botanical garden. It con sists of a tomato vine grafted on a potato stock, which yields tomato fruits above and potato tubers below. The graft is fairly easy to make, it is stated, requiring no mote skill than is needed for a similar operation on an apple twig. Apparently the first one on record was made over a century ago by an amateur scientist named De Tchudi, who reported his experi ments to the Horticultural institute at Fromont, in France. Neither partner in tills double plant body seems to have any influence on the other. The tomatoes are like those of sister plants grown orv their own roots, and the potatoes differ in no way from those grown in the ordinary way from other eyes cui from the same parent tuber. ♦ Scarsdale, N.

The domes tic price of wheat probably is more strongly Influenced by crop conditions in distant parts of the world than Is true of any other * important farm product Strength In whelTt prices during the spring has been due to special develop ments In all Important wheat countries. Drouth prevaileji over the hard wheat sections of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Excessive rains in Canada de layed spring wheat planting opera tions and prevented seeding a full acreage. In Argentina and Australia, where planting fall wheat was taking place, the wepther was too dry. Some of the countries of Europe, Including Russia, reported that the season was cold an<T backward. Final estimates on the 1927 crop in India indicated but little wheat for export from that country. The remainder of the 1926 crop was passing into consumption at an unexpectedly high rate, suggesting only a moderate carryover. In recent years, the United States has produced an average of 810 mil lion bushels of wheat, of which ap proximately 22 per cent, or 175 million bushels, had to be sold .abroad. This - » Cflunitjry furnished only about one- fourtfl of the wheat required by im porting counties. The balance came chiefly from Canada', „which produced an average of 890 million bushels and exported 285 million, from Argentina which produced 210 mill ion bushels and exported 135 million, and from Australia, which produced 135 million bushels and exported 90 million bush els. Small amounts were exported from Russia, the Balkan countries of Hungary. Yugo-Slavia, Rumania and Bulgaria, and_fcom India. This wheat Is shipped principally to central and western Europe. The United King dom, Italy, France and Belgium are the leading importers. Oriental coun tries also import some wheat. • The worl^ price level for wheat Is determined by the relation between the surpluses available In the exporting countries and the needs of Importing countries. Since the presence of a surplus keeps domestic prices in line with world prices, the wheat producer In the United States is almost as much concerned in the yield in Australia as in the sire of the domestic crop; ’ World production of wheat averages about 3,700,000,000 bushels. fluctu ation of 150 to 200 million ^rushels either way means the difference be tween a year 1 of high prices and a year of low prices. to be separated on this system alone. The total cost to complete the work is a stupen dous sum—probably half as much as the cost to build the railroads. Even if the money were available, and the public willing to pay the increased freight and passenger rates necessary to provide a fair return on it, many years would be re- ouired to do the work. Protection from the peril for the present generation at least must be found in some other way. Trains cannot stop at every crossing if they are to be run at the sustained speed expected by the public and required to carry the commerce of the country. The (• Y train crossed a highway about every mile. The motorist encounters a railroad only occasionally. It is necessary* therefore, for the automo bile driver to stop in order to avoid risk.
