his face continually and If he had ever had
chance TO rule anywhere no one would ever have
accused him of cruelty. He was modelled after
the lines of old King Cole. But one day a pa
tient was admitted whose weak point happened
to be the idea that King Edward had sent ennis
saries over to kill him The doctors hesitated
about putting the man in the same room
with the king, but both were perfectly harmless,
so the experiment was tried All went well until
the new patient learned that King Edward was
about. Then he fled in terror and hid under bed,
and all the coaxing the nurses could do could
not drag him out again, They were in a dilemma
that taxed the resources of the institution. Final
ly, they decided to put the case before the king
and depend upon his well known good nature
to help them out. He was alive to the situation.
His grief was touching, for more harmless king
certainly never breathed. Profuse with regrets at
the strange mistake the monarch approached the
man under the bed and commenced to parley
with him. With all his negative graciousness the
king assured the benghted one that he was delud.
ed. Strange to say, the new man gradually began
to believe It. Something in the kings face in
ST red confidence and at last he came out. The
two soon became fast friends and the monarch
raised his found friend to the peerage This
man is now out Of the asylum, cured of his de-
fusion. But the king still rules his little king

FARMING IN

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
COTTON Villa DISEASE THAT
is ON THE INCREASE.
Efforts of the Government to Develop
a Wilt Resistant Pant-Ry w. A.
Orion, Pathooglst.

1t is very difficult to estimate the
total loss from cotton wilt. The in.
jury varies from the death of a few
plants to the destruction of hundreds
of acres. Several factors are to be
considered in estimating the loss. We
must add to the actual shortage of
the crop in the spots where the cot
ton dies: ID A diminished yield OF the
surrounding cotton due to the dwarfing
OF the plants from partial Infections
(2) lessened income to the farmers
on account of the necessity of plant
ing on infected land some less profit,
able crops as corn. OF of throwing
cotton out of cultivation altogether;
(3) the increased cost of cultivation
of wilt-infeeted spots due TO the foot
hold obtained by crab-grass, nut-grass,
cockleburs, and other weeds, after the
death OF the cotton; ca a deprecia-
ton in the market value of within
feeted land.
Wilt first appears in the latter part
of May or in June, when the young
cotton is to u inches high 1t is
most prevalent during June and July
but some cases continue TO develop
until the end of the season.
The appearance of a cotton plant
attacked by wilt varies somewhat, de.
pending on the age of the plant and
the severity of the attack. Some plants
wilt suddenly and die almost in a
day; Others pass through intermediate
stages, with leaves slowly turning
yellow, especially around the margins
and between the veins, and fall off.
Often branch near the ground makes
considerable growth and partially re-
covers. producing a dwarf. bushy
plant.
The most Characteristic symptom OF
wilt is a browning of the woody pof
ton of the stem and root. These dis
colored parts are the water-carrying
vessels which have become obstruct-
ed by the development in them OF the
fungus causing the disease.
The wilt fungus is itself a low form

H. In 1890 there We're 1862 bospitalS while N
1903 there were 32S, and many of the older ones
had been enlarged. In other words. the country
is taxing care of the insane and taking them out
or their homes, and incidentally the idea grew
that because the institutions were increasing in
number and size the number of cases was like
wise growing abnormaly
1t is not generally supposed that there Is
brighter side to insanity. The 5000 900 people of
this country who have relatives in asylums prob
ably do not see this bright side and few of the
other millions realize it, But nevertheless it is
fact that the darkest days of the affection are
over.
Nearly every patient in institution is normal
IN all but one or two subjects The dangerous
insane are, of course, another matter; to them
1t is always night and will be until some genius
discovers a new method Of treating the brain
more satisfactorily than is known at the present
day. But these others are normal human beings
with normal wants and ideas on all subjects but
one or two.
In the old days this normal part of their nature
never had its outlet; their lives were never given
the leeway necessary for even a moments happi
ness But to-day it would not be an exaggeraton
to say that the insane in institutions are a reason
ably happy lot
In many institutions entertainments are given
regularly by the inmates The man who has the
idea that he is King Edward is allowed to sit
in his royal box in all his majesty and, his other
faculties are unimpaired, he enjoys the show to
its utmost The woman who believes she has In
herited million from her uncle sits in the front
row, happy In the belief that in few days she
will leave the institution and buy silk dress for
every woman she leaves behind

insane to-day Is simply to humor them whenever

it is possible. This very strongly brought out
not long ago in an asylum Chicago There
a patient there who had the idea that he
was King Edward. The king was all right in
every other way, but his idea this point
so strong within him that it gave his normal
part very little room to move about. From
morning until night he would talk various
matters of state with his cabinet ministers, who
were anyone who happened to be near him, and
in greeting the women with a graciousness that
the real king would find difficult to initiate. But
the king was jolly monarch. smile was on

The effective sterilization OF soil
under field conditions presents many
difficulties and has never been accom-
plished except at prohibitive cost.
In the experiments of the Bureau of
Plant Industry with cotton wilt large
number of fungieides, including sui
phur, copper sluphate. copper car
Donate, copper acetate, Bordeaux
mixture, lime and sulphur. liver of
sulphur, iron sulphate, earbolie acid,
and formalin were applied to wilt
infected soils in such liberal quantf-

ceeded the value of the land, but in
no case was the amount of wilt les

of this sort is practicable.

A great alienist said that where physical

improvement, and with it comes the elimination of
the diseased portions of the brain Thus medical
men hope to eradicate insanity among the patients
at the hospitals.
The heat of the athletic struggle takes the mind
of the patient from his woes if that be the form
of mania, and one crazed woman is declared to have
been cured within two months after having par
ticipated continually in athletics at a hospital for
insane in the east.
There is no athlete who gets much apparent
enjoyment out of his successes az the one who is

the public is admitted by invitation These, while
they have their pathetic side Of course afford
much pleasure to the inmates, especially the young

Surgeons declare that some day all varieties Of

An operation on the brain is said by them to be
the solution but as yet the man has not arisen who

resistant to be cultivated with profit
