JOHN CARROLL, VETERAN WHARF MANAGER, DEAD
Seattle Times, July 16)

CSeattle Times, July lo)
 John G. Carroll, 76 years old, manager of Schwabacher's Wharf, Pier 2, for the past forty-fiye years, and recognized as the dean of the Seattle waterfront, died early this morning at his home, 1913 East AL der Street.
 MT. Carroll had been in failing health for some time. but his con- dition was not considered danger ous until last Sunday.
 Forty-five years ago today, MT Carroll went to work for the Schwabachsr Dock and Warehouse Company. He was 76 years old yesterday.
 MT. Carroll was schooled in ship ping in it's every phase, but never sailed on a deep-sea voyage. He made excursion trips to British Columbia, but, in all his forty-fiye years at Pier T, never was outside of Cape Flattery.
 When the little steamship Mike Maru noS2d her way into a slip at Pier T. August 31, 1896, as the first vessel of the first line to es- tablish scheduled service between Seattle and the Orient, MT Car roll was on the dock. He was at the same pier to welcome the steam ship Portland on July IT, 1897, when she dumped her Klondike treasure cargo on the wharf and heralded to all the world that AL aska had a real gold strike.
 MT. Carroll served from 1881 to 1886 in Battery c, End United States Artillery, and rose to the rank of sergeant. When President James A. Garfield was shot July |2, 1881, in Washington, D. O., Mir Carroll helped guard Guitteau, his assassin. and saw him hanged. At that time he held the rank of corporal.
 When the Washington Monument was unveiled MT. Carroll helped fire a salute of 100 guns. He came to Seattle from Baltimore week before the fire of 1889 and immed- lately entered the service of the Schwabacher Dock and Warehouse Company. In lact, he had been promised joo if he would come Ito Seattle and take over the du- ties of drill master for the Wash ington National Guard Immediate ly after his arrival he was ap- pointed first sergeant and drill in |structor of Company l, 1st Infan- |try, N G. w.
 MT. Carroll is survived by Mrs. U. G. Carroll, his widow; three sons. J. G. Carroll, Jr.. and T. M Carroll, both of the Puget Sound Navigation Company, and Robert Carroll of the Hamburg American Line; daughter, Mrs. H. c. Bow man; a sister, Sister Mary Ethe- line, of Victoria, B. C., and broth CT, Robert A. Carroll genera freight agent of the Santa Ana Steamship Company.

YEARS FARM INCOME
SET AT Sc, 900, 900

As a result of increased payments
by the A. A. A. to agriculture and a
somewhat higher range of prices for
farm products. the Standard Statistics
Co. has revised upward to $6,763,000,000
its earlier estimate of $6,085, 100000
for total farm income this year. Esti-
mated income for 1888 is 80 per cent
above 1882 results but some 43 per cent
below the income received in 1929.
On the whole, the rapid extension of
relief plans, the strengthening price
tendency of staple farm products and
easing of mortgage and other indebted
ness indicates a much improved net
position for the average farmer, the
report says.

fairness to borrowers and lenders alike.
And while his ideas are still In . the
formative stage, he believes the best
remedy centers around a commodity or

Early this year the American toy
trade, whose sales have increased 800
per cent since 1t started In 1918, started
a drive for orders that would keep its
workers busy throughout 1888. Ad-
vance orders taken at the Chicago Toy
Fair in May showed a gain of rs per
cent. Such bookings declined In Sep
tember and early october, probably be-
cause of price uncertainties. Although
80 per cent of the expected toy orders
are in, there is again danger Of last

SPRAY NOW TO CURB
PEACH LEAF CURL

The peach leaf curl, most frequently
reported disease Of the peach, is gem
orally present in western Washington
and in portions of the Snake river and
Columbia river valleys, says DR.. L. e.
Jones, associate professor of plant
pathology, Washington State college.
The diseased leaves are noticeably
redeemed, thickened, curled and other
wise distorted. The trees may be de-
foliated in the early summer Following
the defoliation a new crop Of leaves is
often produced that remains free from
the disease through the rest OF the
summer.
According to DR.. Jones, this fungous
disease is readily controlled by one ap-
plication of spray. The spores or fruit
of the organism that cause this trouble
live through the winter in bud scales
and bark cracks on the tree. A chemical
spray applied when the leaves are OH
the tree in the late fall or early spring
is recommended.
The period between the falling of the
leaves and the onset OF freezing
weather is an especially favorable time
to spray. If the spraying is delayed un
til spring, it must be done before TN
buds begin to swell. The best spra.
applied in the most thorough manner
of no value after the leaves becom
infected in the spring.
