"The doctor gives anesthesia t(

thrust or a shot to a writhing com
rade. Ain' decent man shoots hi:
women folk to save them from dis

Such was the explanation made b)
E. It. 10ardley for killing himself an<
his wife in their little cottage a
Southborough, says an 1English ex
change.
Mrs. Iardley was a hopeless invalid
and her disease had developed to thi
polit where it became necessary ti
place her in a home for the inentall)
afflicted. In the letter from whici
the extracts above are made, Eardle5
said:
"For two years nowl may wife ha
lived in hourly torment. 1er condl
tion grows daily worse. I can do noth
Ing more for her; my will to live aud
win is broken. There Is nothing be
fore her but the madhouse, withou
even the alleviation I have been ablI
to bring.
"Htowever human law niy regnr<
the matter, my conscience justlille
tme; indeed, I should live a coward I
my own esteem if I failed her in thh
extremity."
1Even in his sorrow Eirdley thougl
of those who would discover the trag
edy, and in the letter lie wrote to t
friend telling hii of his determina
tion, he added:
"The bodlies of myself and lily dlo
wife will be found toge lier in the lit

maximum.
Sixth. The question of poisoning for
boll weovil is still in the experimental
state hut your committee believes that'
poisoning wvithi calcium arsenate is val
nble, especially if dLone at the proper
time and uinder favorable conditions.
Heavy damage from plant lice following
dusting with calcium arsenate early last
August makes us doubtful as to this
treatment when applied at that time. Them
weevils should also be picked from the
plant in the early stages and as soon as
punctured squares arc noticed they
should be picked up twice per week until
mid-summer. Rapid and t horouig.h cul -
tivation at all times should bie employed
and the cerops should be gathered as fast
as open -to insure a high grade. In no
ease should more cotton be planlted than
cani .be properly handled at all stages
and pr1om~hptly 'picked bhy the labor on the
farm, for it is tFhe height of -folly to plant

EXPDRTS AVADANJf,
In every county the farmers should
utilize fully the government farm ex
ports. No 01ne can advise ittelligently
and correctly just what each indlividual
farmer should do. The dlemlonstration
agent, however, can tell you exactly wvhat
to do for 11e kniows yourP condition and
has available all the necessary linformia
ion to advise you upon01 each detai-l.
A miost important factor for success
undler boll wveevil conditions is hard and
inteiligent work. The slipshod farmer
will 'be out of business in a few years amid
only those whlo work hard and use intel
ligent methods will remainl. In all erops
on'ly varieties of .proven adaptability to
the section and those which make a 'pro
duclt of the highest money value as well
as of good ,production per acre should ibe
used.
The year 1921 has been more favor
able for the !boll weevil than any sine
lhe entered tihe Ibelt in 1892. 'Conse
(luently 'he has done more 'damage than
ever qbefore. His damiage next year and
succeeding yars will depend on weather
condlit ions anid thle intelligence and in
dustry used in fighting him.
iWe urge all our citizens to coperate
to carry this message to every farmer
and farm tenant in the state. Unless the
main features of the above pirogr'ami ar'e
generally adopted the wh'lole state will
