rye are the staple crops of Russian az
riculture, and the annual production In
Ukraine of these grains amounts to
one-third of Russia's output. AS 20
other farm products, Ukraine's position
Is also conspicuous.
Beet root. for instance, Is especially
cultivated In the Ukrainian provinces
Of Podolia, volhynia, Kieff and Kher-
son; those provinces together yield
five.sixths Of the sugar beet produc-
tioh Of all Russia. Ukraine produces
almost oil the tobacco of the old en-
pire, and she has the largest and finest
orchards and vineyards of Russia.
The immense natural resources Of
Ukraine furnish splendid opportunity
for the development of manufacturing
Industries. AS a matter of fact, 62 per
cent Of Russia's annual production Of
pig iron and SO per cent of Russia's
production Of steel come from Ukraine.

Lexington Advertiser comments as
follows: Lafayette county has taken
the right course in making an effor:
10 'systemize' its wSeat production.
Spasmcdic efforts haEe for many
years been made IN Holmes county,
but on account of lack Of co-ordina-
tion, cooperation and system, wheat
growing has no. attained the magni-
tude its importance justifes. Every
farm and plantation in Holmes coun-
" should every year plant a certain
acreage in wheat. With the organi-
zation Of an association Of wheat
growers, united efforts viii be made
to provide the necessary reaping
binding and t.irsshing facilities, and
the problem Of milling will also be
solved. Az organizaion on the lines

FIRST PRIMARY ELECTION.
AUGUST 20.

The Primary election for United
States Senator win be held on the
third Tuesday in August, the date
fixed in the primary election law.
The third Tuesday in August i. the
Goth day Of the month, and hence the
first primary election this year will
will be held on Tuesday. August 20,
and the second. IL there be a second
primary, will be held on September
10.
Secretary w. A. Belk, of the State
Democratic Committee gives out this
statement:
IL fnd that there is some confusion
and misunderstanding As to just when
the primary election in 1918 in Missis-
sippi is to be held This arises from
the fac. that the law was changed in
1914 and it seems that even some OF
the candidates have themselves Ger.
looked this change. At least two OF
them very recently have stated 70 me
that they had not examined this mat.
ter and one Of them requested me te
write a little article simply calling
attention to the present law on thi,
question.
Chapter l49, section 2, laws Of 1914
reads. in part as follows: The hrs,
primary election for congressmer
Shall be held on the third Tuesday in
August and the second shall be hclc
three weeks thereafter. Candidate.
for United States Seaator shall b,
nominated at the congressional cleo,
ton next preceding the general elee
tion under the statue.
Thus it will be seen that the pri
mary election for congressmen aae
FOR United States Senator shall be On

Death Of Salem Boy
Reported by War Dept.
But Dates Conflict

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Martin, las
Saginaw street, received a communi-
cation from the war department at
Washington, D. c., this morning to the
effect that their son, Hugh A. Martin,
was dead, and that $4,000 government
insurance which he had taken out was
due them.
The letter stated that their son, who
is in the navy, had died on January 20,
1918, aboard the U. S. S. cruiser, st.
Louis. The letter bore the postmark of
Washington, D. c., and was dated
February 81. Mr.. and Mrs. Martin re-
ceived letter from their son written
in New York and dated February 8,
nearly three weeks after his reported
death, seying that he was then in
"fine fettle" and that they expect to
hear from him again in about three
weeks.
The letter received today is the first
intimation Mr.. and Mrs. Martin have
had regarding the death of their son,
and they are hoping that some mistake
is Indicated by the discrepancy of
dates, has been made. Mr.. Martin is
engineer at the Salem water, light and
power company plant.
