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.

Wheat growers must take a world
wide view of crop prospects If their
decisions as to when to sell are to be
wisely made, says the Sears Roebuck
Agricultural Foundation. 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; ’

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

The motorist encounters a railroad only
occasionally.
It is necessary* therefore, for the automo
bile driver to stop in order to avoid risk. No
one who did this was ever killed.
