SSIldlOT wants
Cotton Growers.
Washington, Sept. 12.-EXpres-
sions from cotton growers and 9TH
ers interested in the cotton industry
on plans for fighting the cotton boil
weevil by abandoning cotton acreage
in prescribed areas yer asked to-
night bv Senator Smith (Democrat)
Of South Carolina, following his re-
CENT from Dr.. E. D. Ball, chief of
the scientific work of the depart,
ment of agriculture, of a memoran-
dunn on the subject.
Declaring that it would not be
feasible to stop all cotton production
for a time to drive out the weevil
Dr.. Balls report stated that success
might be achieved through abandon
ing production in certain districts
throughout the cotton belt. This is
the plan favored by Senator Smith
and he proposes to bring the ques-
ton before the senate.
Legislation to ratify agreements
between the cotton growing states
for limiting a certain amount OF
cotton acreage in each state was
suggested by Dr.. Ball.

FOR DOUBLING

Those farmers of Abbevllle
County who still think that it does
not pay to use calcium ~arsenate for
the poisoning of the boil weevil need
not 90 to Anderson County for
proof that they r wrong. The
farm of Mr.. ". A. Calvert three
miles South of the city, or his other
farm within the corporate limits,
will furnish proof of the efficiency of
the poison, and that beyond a rea-
sonable doubt.
On the Hagan place, South of the
city, Mr.. Calvert has a large field
of cotton. Some Of it is on highly
improved land, and some on lands
which are not 50 well improved. The
cotton on the improved part of the
field is large and fiourishing, well
fruited and with the fruit matured.
Bolls will be found all the way to
the top Of the stalks, showing that
the poison did its work to the end
of the fight. The cotton on the poor
Ell lands is as good in proportion.
On the lands within the city limits,
which by the way are more fertile,
the cotton is in keeping with the
soil. 1t bears the same evidence, as
does the other cotton, that calcium
arsenate is the salvation of the cot
ton growing farmer.
Some other things are brought out
by an inspection of Mr.. Calvert's
various fields of cotton. One of these
things is that cotton may be pro-
duced under boil weevil conditions,
as we'll on fine fertile lands as on
the thinner lands. Except in very
low lands, there does not seem to
be any advantage in the n kind Of
land over the other kinds, so far as
the weevil is concerned.
But the principal thing which must
be learned is that the fight against
the boil weevil is a fight which can
be waged only by the thoughtful and
the industrious. The weevil can be
whipped only by proper application
and by intelligent cultivation. The
man in town who never visits his
farm and who has been getting his
two bales to the plow every year is
now no longer a farmer. He must
look elsewhere for an income. Eth
err he will go back to the farm him
self, or his lands will prove an in
vestment on which he will pay taxes,
and if he undertakes to farm, pay
losses every year.
But, as indicated, there is hope
for those who think and those who
work. We are at the threshold Of
another day of prosperity, but it is
not going to be the prosperity of the
past; it is not that prosperity which
m now and then to him who
waits, but that more logical pros
perity which comes to him who
works. 1t is the hire of which the la
borer is worthy; he will collect no
other.

which the loan is made the entire debt
both principal and interest, is entirely
wiped out. While such loans are of the
greatest possible benefit to the farmer
in supplying him with his required capi
tai credit, every loan is made with due
regard to the security. In other words
the only demand of a joint stock land
bank in supplying to the farmer this
most desirable form Of credit, is that
the permanent and enduring character
of the security will fully Justify every
loan made.
Security runs 40 Years
"When we make q loan we have to
appraise the security, not on the basis
of what it will be worth in three or
five years, but what it will be worth ir
40 years. That is, every detail of the
soil, the drainage, the water rights, the
crops, the markets, must be investigate
on % basis of absolute, permanent
values. Every loan must bear the
scrutiny of the national board a: Wash

JUDGE SEEKS TO BAN UNWRTTTEN LAW AND
INSANITY AS CRIME DEFENSES

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26-Tht
insanity defense' and the "unwrit
ten law,' those much used twin ave
hues Of escape in murder cases, must
go.
Such is the flat declaration Of Curtis
ID. Wilbur, justice of the California
supreme Court, in an interview fol.
lowing recommendations to this eff.
feet before the American Bar Assoeia.
tion. Justice Wilbur speaks out of an
experience Of 1000 trials of "insani.
ty' eases and years of research.
"The code of most states holds ia.
lots, lunatics and insane persons not
capable of committing crime" he
says. "No matter how many people
are killed by such persons, or how
many Houses are burned it is held no
crime at all has been committed.

man is just as real and great rs if
no were sane; but the killing Of a
human being is no offense, it would
seem, because there has been no mind
capable of understanding the wrong.

fendant is insane the criminal law
dismisses him.
Open Door for Murder
ITO put it directly: At present
the defense Of insanity is trap for
the insane and 4 means of escape for
the sane. SO widely has the idea Of
the unwritten law" taken hold that
we hear constantly respectable citizens
assert that they would expect public
plaudits of their friends and immedi.
ate acquittal if they committed crime
under certain circumstances.
my proposal then is this: That
Imperial Valley press., 1922-08-26

insanity be no lOngcd treated as n de
fense to a criminal charge and that ev.
idence on that subject be excluded
from the jury trying criminal case
that after conviction the defendant

ined by q board Of alienists; that they
determine whether he should be sent
to state hospital, private hospital or
prison; that the state retain jurisdic,
ton over the defendant even after an
apparently complete cure for az long as
the maximum sentence obtains.
Insanity Defense Humbug
CAS- it now stands the defense of
insanity is humbug, a pretense, a
hypocrisy, an invitation to murder all
too frequently accepted by jealous
lovers, discarded mistresses, indignant
fathers and outraged husbands.
"The average juror acquits the de.
fendant who does exactly as that juror
would have done under the same cir
cumstances-an this upon the absurd
ground Of insanity. On the other
hand the very barbarity and shocking
cruelty of the really insane man causes
that very juror to return a verdict of
guilty.
cit is high time for change
Murder is becoming commonplace

exercise intelligent discretion and Il
