Efficient
Graf ling Tomatoes
on Jimson Weeds
3. M. Hilton, a resident of Kershaw,
Lancaster, county, 8. C., has had con
siderable success In grafting tomatoes
on Jimson weeds and growing a very
hardy tomato, which Is blight and
drought proof. According to speci
mens exhibited, the meut of this toma-
to-Jhnson fruit is llrmer than tlie regu
lar tomato.
Mr. Hilton plants his tomato seed
according to custom, and when the
plants get to the height of six or more
Inches he grufts branches to the Jim
son weed. A flrin-tieshed tomato and
a bush that resists drought and blight
have been the dteani of truckers. If
his plnn, which has worked very suc
cessfully on a small scale severul sea
sons, can be enlarged to a commer
cial scale, the graft system may be
come a hobby with truck growers.

“I don't love her,” sobbed Ronald,

Suicide and Climate
U. S. Annual Rainfall
Are Closely Related
Thirty Inches Deep
T he relation of suicide to climatic
and other factors presents the results
of the extensive statistical analysis of
the relation of suicide to climatic and
racial factors, and to Industrialism,
occupation, urban conditions, age and
sex. It has long been recognised that
the suicide rate Is higher among the
Nordic race than among Alpine or
Mediterranean peoples. Mixed i>eo-
ples usually have a higher rate thun
either of the pure races to which they
belong. Foreigners In New York show
a higher suicide rate than in the
countries from which they came,
writes Dr. J. R. Milner In “American
Journal of Hygiene.”
The lowest rate Is found In Ireland
and the highest In Saxony, while the
rate varies In different parts of
France, according to the racial com
position of the population.
Among
Asiatic peoples, the Japanese and Chi
nese rates are high, while tn India It
ts low (4.8 per 100,000). India ap
pears to be the only country where fe
male suicides exceed the mate.
The general trend of suicide rates
has been upward during the Inst cen
tury, but the higher rates tend to be
come stabilized. Germany, France,
Denmark and Sweden have high rates;
Britain, Norway and the Netherlands
low rates. In the United States the
rates are lowest In the South and
higher In the West.
One Tagged Codfish
Hooked Three Times
Up to date the records of the re
capture of 128 tagged fish have been
received by the bureau of fisheries.
Considering the vast area of the fish
ing grounds off the New England and
Canadian coasts these returns are
thought to be quite satisfactory.
Since the last week In October 15
tagged fish have been taken off the
New Jersey coast. Indicating that the
codfish are migrating toward the
South. It ts expected that a compar
atively large number of tagged fish
will be caught in the vicinity of New
Jersey during the coming winter and
spring, and practically all pleasure
fishing boats frequenting tills locality
have been notified to watch for tags.
While assembling the duta at hand
a matter of unusual Interest was dis
covered in connection with codfish, tag
No. 231. This fish was tagged June 28,
1023, on Nnntucket Shoals, Mass. It
was recaptured by the Halcyon on Oc
tober 3, 1023, and again on October 15,
1023, In each case on Nantucket Shonts,
where It was first tagged.
It must be considered a rare occur
rence to catch the same fish three
times on n fishing ground many square
