BOY DIES FROM INJURIES.
Young Harvey Carter Injured by
Auto Truck Died Tuesday
Morning.

Harvey Carter, the fourteen year
old son OF Mr.. Robert Carter, who
conducts a grocery store in the east
ern suburbs, died Tuesday morning
from injuries received last Friday
while attempting 10 jump on a
truck belonging to the Carolina Mill
ing Co. The truck was returning from
the Seaboard Air Line station where
it had delivered a load Of meal. 1t
was returning empty with the eX-
ception of barrel of oil when sever
al boys attempted to jump aboard.
The negro driver says he warned the
boys not to try to get on the truck,
but they failed to heed his warning
and caught hold of it. Harvey caught
the truck near the front, but lost his
grip and fell. Before the driver could
stop the truck the rear wheels had
passed over his body. His injuries
were not regarded as very serious
but complications arose and although
he was given the best of medical at
tention he continued to decline until
Tuesday morning when he passed
away. He was bright little boy and
very popular among his companions
and playmates. Not only is his tragic
death a shock to the community, but
he will be missed by his circle of lit
tie friends.

After the PrOfiteer.

The story comes from Florence
that a secret service man walked in
to Florence clothing store and ask
ed to look at suit of clothes. He
selected the suit he liked and asked
the price. 1t was priced to him at
$4,000. He demurred but the pro-
prietor insisted that he was making
only legitimate profit. The custom
er asked the proprietor to show him
his invoice. This the proprietor re-
fused to do. The prospective custom
er pulled the lapel of his coat back
and displayed his badge. The pro-
prietor produced the invoice and it
was found that the wholesale price
of the suit was SO. The profiteer
will settle with Uncle Sam.

POTASH INJURY.
Darlington County Trouble Traced to
TrOnna Potash.

Clemson College, July S.-Clemson
College authorities have investigated
the potash situation which has given
trouble in the Pee Dee section, and
have traced the matter to its source
in the use Of Trona Potash, which
contains impurities injurious to
crops.
Mr.. Bright Williamson, prominent
banker and farmer Of Darlington, and
John NJ. Napier, County Agent of
Darlington County found trouble with
potash in that county recently and
reported the matter to Clemson Col
lege. Prof. c. P. Blackwell, Agrono-
mist, and Mr.. J. l.. Seal, Plant Path
ologist, went Immediately to Darling
ton and Florence Counties where they
met DR.. w. w. Garner, Chief of the
Office of Tobacco and Plant Nutri-
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1919-07-24

tion Investigation. The three studied
the situation in the fields of Oar
lington, Florence and Dillon coun
ties.
They agreed that the very erratiC
seasons have caused poor crop con
ditions in parts Of Florence County
which some have enormously attribut.
however, where Trona Potash from
Searl's Lake, California purchased
through a Charleston broker, was
used, very serious injuries were OBJ
served on a number of farms.
The Clemson and Government ex-
perts were convinced from field eX-
animation that this Trona Potash is
responsible for the trouble. Thous-
ands of acres of crops in Darlington
have been destroyed.
Other sources of American potash
have given good results so far as in
vesugations show. Since nearly all
the soils of the Coastal Plains sec
ton of the state are in need of Pot
ash, it would be unfortunate to have
all potash indiscriminately condemn
ed along with this one source.
Director Barre announces that eX-
periments will be begun at once at
the Pee Dee Station to obtain all pos
sible information on the effect OF
this material on plant growth. Furth-
er study will be made in DARLINGTON
fields to assist farmers in securing
data upon which we base claims for
damages. These investigations will be
considered by the Board of Fertilizer
Control
There has probably been injury to
crops from this same source in other
sections Of the state, and if farmers
think they have this trouble they
should consult their county agents,
all OF whom have been posted about
the matter.
Late in June Director H. w. Barre
of the S. c. Experiment Station at
tended a potato conference on Long
Island to examine tests of all sources
OF domestic potash. Trona potash
showed marked injury to potato
plants, and. the conference developed
the fact that similar trouble was be-
ing experienced in North Carolina
cotton, tobacco and corn. Similar
troubles seems to have been exper-
fenced in several localities along the
Atlantic coast.
For the guidance of farmers, Prof
Blackwell gives the field symptoms
as follows: In the case of cotton and
corn termination is retarded or pre-
vented. Soon after plants which do
germlnate are above ground, they
turn white or yellow and die. To-
baceo when transplanted turns light
and soon dies. The roots are found
TO be undeveloped and many dead,
Inc trouble is worse where tobacco
oeds have been knocked down as
this brings the roots in closer con-
tact with the poisonous substances
WIN all crops the trouble is worse on
hght sandy soils than On heavier
soils.
