Potatoes and Tomatoes on One Vine,

George Snively, y years old, a
horticulturist of Sandy Grove, has
duplicated a feat he accomplished
when he was a boy of IA, consider
ably before the time of Luther Bur-
bank, the plant wizard
Snively has been successful in
grating tomato stalk on a potato
vine and having the plant reproduce
itself. This feat, according to hor-
ticulturists, never before has been
accomplished.
When IA years old, Snively, in
making experiments with the toma-
to vine and potato plant, succeeded
in grating them together and hav-
ing the plant produce both tomatoes
and potatoes. He, however, was new
er able to perfect his method. For
fifty-eight years he has toiled patti
emily in an effort to create a new
plant that would produce tomatoes
on the vine above ground and pota-
toes on the roots below the soil.
Snively says there is no question
as to the success of his experiments.
He says that he has so far perfected
his system of grating the two plants
as to make it certain both vegetables
ultimately will be raised on one
plant.

his home and business in that city
about one week ago. He SHRED an
automobile and went to McGregor,
where he took train south, suppos-
edly to Dubuque, expecting to return
the next day. Saturday Chords to
locate him in Dubuque proved futile,
but Monday noon letter mailed at
Davis Junction, ILL.,, told his friends
he did not expect to return. ]. L..
Kaufman, his brother-in-law, left
Immediately for Davis Junction in
an effort to locate him, but has not
been able to find him. He was en-
gagged in the harness business and
an investigation has revealed that
he has been struggling against adj
verse financial conditions for years
and that his business is badly involv-
ed, causing him constant worry and
depression, which, coupled with i'll
health at times, is the only apparent
reason for his action. His accounts
as secretary of the M. B. A. and 9TH
er funds in his hands are intact and
no suspicion of dishonesty or immor-
atty appears against him. He is
about 80 years old.
