FRANCES TUCKER
Severe Asthma
Sufferer Gets Well..
“I am going to tell you something more wonderful
than I ever thought could happen to my daughter, Fran
ces Tucker,” says Mrs. G. H. Manley, Rt. 3, Laurens, S. C.
“Frances began having at
tacks of asthma when she
was two weeks old. I have
had to stay up nights hold
ing her because I thought
each gasping breath would
be her last.
“For 13 years I saw my
daughter suffer death with
these suffocating spells of
asthma. Attacks would last
• as long as two to three
months and ever since she
was 3 years old, she has had
to sleep in a rocking chair
during the attacks. She
made so much noise gasping
for breath that she could be
heard all over the house. Only thosc^ who have witnessed
some one in the throes of an asthmatic attack can under
stand the awful suffering experienced by Frances during
those 13 years.
“I had to watch her.diet because Frances suffered
stomach distress after eating and would be nauseated
almost every morning. She has gone to school many days
after suffering such nauseating spells that she lost her
breakfast. The school teacher has sent Frances home
many times because it looked as if she would die during
one of the attacks. r •
“When I carried Frances to Dr. C. J. Hart, of Lairens,
S. C., she had been in the throes of an asthmatic attack
for six weeks. She was sleeping in a platform rocker
every night and was nauseated every morning, keeping
practically nothing on her stomach.
“The results that Frances received the first day under
D*. Hart’s care convinced tne that our search for her
health had finally ended. She was able to sleep in bed the
FIRST NIGHT after receiving her FIRST Chiropractic
spinal adjustment. The next morning Frances ate her
breakfast and went to school without the nauseating sick
spells. |2ven the school teacher noticed the improvement
shown in one day;
‘There has been no further trouble since Frances was
placed under the care of Dr. Hart. If ever again she
should have any trouble, I shall take her to Dr. Hart
immediately.
“I write this letter in the sincere hope that it will help
someone else who may be suffering with asthma.”

FARMERS WARNED
TO BEGIN FIGHTING
WEEVIL ON TIME
# ^
Cotton Poisoning Should
Start Before Insects
Make Much Headway.
Clemson, May 30.— The fight to
control boll weevils and other cotton
insects is approaching the zero hour
. on many South Carolina farms and
on some farms it has already ar-
! rived, and the South Carolina cotton
committee in a meeting in Columbia
May 25, advised cotton growers who
have fields where first squares are
forming to begin poisoning to con
trol the early weevils.
It pointed out that in these fields
this will mean making the first of the
three early-season applications due
to be made at the appearance of the
first squares, with two additional ap
plications at 7-day intervals. It adds
that in some fields it may be wise
to make a pre-square application tc
control thrips, flea-hoppers, and
plant lice.
The committee heard encouraging,
reports from representatives of the
agricultural agencies and groups on
the state-wide educational program
j on boll weevil control; on the train
ing otf fanners in the use of the va
rious commercial and home-made
types of equipment for applying the
recommended insecticides; on the
supplies of insecticides and equip-*
ment being secured by farmers; and
on the cooperation and support being
given the cotton insect control pro
gram by banks, credit agencies, com-
mcicUl organizations, the press, r&- 1
dio, and civic groups. 1
It also heard reports of the hea
viest early boll weevil emergence in
the history of the state and of dam
age to young cotton from plant lice,
thrips, or “harvest bugs,” cut-worms,
fleahoppers and flea beetles.
The committee advised cotton
growers to follow the recommenda
tions of the entomologists of the state
as to the kind, time, and amounts of
poison to use. It stressed the need
for thoroughness and timeliness in
application not only tq conserve ma
terials but to get the desired con
trol. If was pointed out that in pre
paring th£ recommendations consid
eration was given toy the entomolo
gists not only to the control of the
boil weevil but also to the control
of other insects likely to cause dam
age. The complete recommendations
are available in Extension Circular
349, Cotton (Production and Insect
Control, available at the offices of
county agents.
