Increased Trade OF the South.

period of the preceding year,, an in
crease of $50, 900, 900. But more than
half Of this increase was In exports

revival Of business activity in that
section. The expsrts from Southern
ports aggregated 1926. 10000 Or

Now that matters have assumed
their normal condition In France the
attention OF all parties is con-
centrated on their new president,
Jean Casimir-Pe His election to
the presidency is regarded by every
body as most serious and significant
event for the future of the republic.
BY this must not be understood any
connection with the sad events at.
tendant upon the death OF the late
M. Carnot, or any measures for the
suppression Of anarchy, which will
necessarily be the outcome Of this
cruel murder. Anything of such
nature is merely incidental, nothing
more. Why all France is more deeply
concerned in It's latest choice is be-
cause no one party has as yet been
found which can claim Casimir-
Perler as its answering adherent.
Hewas chosen because he was uni
versally regarded not only as safe
man but also as one in whom all par
ties saw their representative. "The
Italians dagger not only killed a
man but also regime" exclaims the
sanguire Paul de Cassagnac in L'Au-
torite, and this exclamation finds an
echo among journals of all political
shades. When Carnot was murdered
a foreign statesman remarked that
France fortunately produces men
like CarnOt by the thousand This,
though of course we'll meant, was
very ambiguous compliment to
France. No such expression will
ever be made of Casimir. Perier, for
no country produces the like of him
In hundreds or even tens, much less !
thousands. He is a man of high |
mettle and distinction, with strong
ly marked individuality. He is thor
oughly democratic in his ideas OF in
dependence, and holds the right of |
men to be equal, irrespective of
wealth and station. He has always
insisted that the teaching OF equality
before the law and the respect for
the rights Of the people are the
safeguards of re-
public. Casimir Perier has not
the slightest reverence for any
thing which is, according to his
ideas, obsolete and absurd. This
was illustrated when he announced
that he and his ministry would be
present at the funeral of NJ. Carnot,
though he knew that there was an !,
order as old as the republic explicitly
ordaining ttat the head OF the state
shall under no circumstances attend
any funeral. This incident, tIife
in itself, reveals the most pronounced ;
trait OF the mana /,
predisposition to judge and act for
himself. s

The Parts OF Grain or Wheat.

The importance OF the wheat har-
vest adds timely interest," TO the
description of the structure of the
wheat grain by G. Z. Bessey and f.
Hyatt, of the Nebraska station
(B: 32). The outer skin, or pericarp,
of she kernel of wheat becomes the
coaysest part of the bran. The cpl
sperm, or inner double skin, is also a
constituent of the coarse brap and
cannSt readily be separated from 1t.
A third thin and transparent, but
hard, skin is the pepisperm, which
contains no nutritious matter what
ever. There is gluten layer which
is formed Of cells, closely filled wish
a very nutritious substance called
aleurone, nearly all Of which remains
in the bran. In graham bread and
brown bread much OF this is saved
to be used as a useful human food,
but as the tough skins OF the bran
are very indigestible, and irritate the
alimentary mucous membranes, the
farm stock generally get the whole
benefit of the nutritious aleurone.
The bulk of the wheat grain Is CON-
posed of a. great mass OF starch cells,
which form the white -four, though
even OF this considerable portion
adjoining the aleurone or gluten
layer is lost In the bran. The germ
or embryo which forms the young
sprout is composed OF cells rich in
nutritious substances, buT it is usu-
ally separated from the white -four
and finds its way to the bran and
middlings. Considering these facts,
it is not at all strange that bran
forms so suitable a food for dairy
cows, the herbif' rous organs of which
can withstand the coarse material.
