WORRY THOUGHT TO HAVE
CAUSED SUICIDE OF
AI.ONZO VANVACTER TUES.
Neighbors Say farmers Mind Had
Been Affected for the Past
Several Months.

Worry over his wife's ill-health was
thought to have been the cause of the
suicide of Alonzo Vanvacter at his
home, five miles north of Laddonia
early Tuesday morning. DR.. r. W.
Berrey, Coroner, who viewed the
body Tuesday, said there was no doubt
that Mr.. Vanvacter had taken his own
life. Neighbors told DR.. Berrey that
the farmers mind had evidently been
affected for the past several months.
Early Tuesday morning Mr.. Van
vacter left the house, telling his wife
he was going to feed the stock. She
prepared breakfast and called to him
when he did not answer, she went tn
the barn and found him hanging from
one of the joists; she cut him down.
but he was dead when found. DR..
Berrey stated that death was evident
ly due to strangulation.
Mr.. Vanvacter was about sixty
years old and had lived on the farm
near Laddonia for the past fifteen
years, having moved there from near
Centralia. He was a native of Har-
per's Ferry, Virginia.

HEAVY RAINS HURT SOIL

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. 10. - Figg-
ures obtained at the Missouri College
of Agriculture during the last two
years, showing the loss of soil fertil-
ity due to heavy rains, indicate that as
much as per cent of the fertile
ground on gently sloping field may
be lost in one year if the surface is
left bare. On the sleeper lands the
loss is much more rapid.
The farm practices that cause ex-
cessive erosion are continuous cul-
tivation, shallow plowing, furrow-
ing with slopes, leaving the land
bare in winter, neglect of gullies and
the exhaustion of organic matter.
According to the college, practic-
es tending 10 control erosion are
systematic rotations containing few
er cultivated staples and more hay
and pasture crops; the gradual deep
ening of the soil by occasional deep
plowing; the use of barnyard and
green manures, winter cover crops,
such as rye and wheat, and prompt
attention to gullies and bitches.
