Suicides


The impression prevails, and
think we'll founded, that the person
is crazy who kills himself or her
self. Perhaps the only suicide vic
tim that has cause for self-destruc-
ton, is the condemned prisoner,
doomed to the gallows. You rarely
find such a one intent on cheating
the law Of it's prey. The love of
life is so universal that it must be
an unbalanced brain that will de-
stroy it, of voluntary choice.
There are great many suicides
that we hear of, nevertheless. Some
are so love-sick that they go crazy
and kill themselves if anything goes
astray in a true love course. Men
who are caught in bad financial en-
bezzlements occasionally make the
choice Of self-destruction, but not
frequently. They will try a trip to
Canada or maybe Toxic, Japan, be-
fore they shuttle off the mortal coil.
Crooks are generally very care.
full Of their own precious selves.
They will kill the other fellow, but
cling to the life chance for them
selves to the bitter end.
I hear sometimes of suicide pacts,
where two people take a VOW to die
at the same time, by mutual con-
sent. Such persons are to be pitied
as well as blamed for their bad ex-
ample to other foolish ones. It is
an evidence of very unsatisfactory
condition Of their own mental parts.
In my young days my mother had
a neighbor friend, whom she loved
very much, who hung herself from
an overhead rafter, with hank Of
cotton thread. It gave me the shiv.
ers to see the clubhouse or to look at
the little children made motherless
by this unhappy woman.
You may set it down that no sane
person ever committed suicide, and
when such an incident occurs, the
brain has slipped a cog and broke
down.

PAY AS WE CO.
POLICY IS URGED

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Neces-
sity Of "pay as we co. policy of
government finance was urged to-
night by Eliot Wadsworth, assistant
secretary of the treasury in charge
of foreign loans, in an address before
the Washington stock exchange. By
such a policy only, he declared, could
the country maintain it's position as
the soundest financially in the world.
No matter how much the costs roll
up, he asserted, income should be
made available to met these costs.
Money, he added, can be obtained
only from one ultimate source,
which is taxes, direct or indirect,
but in the end coming out of the
pockets of the people.
"Our federal budget this year will
practically balance" Mr.. Wadsworth
= said. Next year the estimates show
a deficit. We are carrying interest
charges and other expenses, result
ing from the war which cannot be
reduced. We are meeting debt of
honor to our disabled soldiers and
sailors at cost Of over $3.50, 100000
a year. No one grudges a cent of
what we may wisely spend to make
life possible and happy for those
men.
"Other expenses will arise from
the war. Perhaps you may have
heard some talk of bonus in the
past few weeks. If paid, it will clear
ly be a war expense but will not
necessarily liquidate the war. There
are today sixty widows of the war
of 1912 and 1000 widows Of the
Mexican war on our pension roll.
Our last great war is SO years in
the pa and our annual pension
bill is $250,000,000. Who would dare
to estimate the ultimate cost to this
country of the World war"
Secretary Wallace, of the depart
ment of agriculture, also addressed
the exchange and discussed credit
needs of the farmers.
Credit facilities" he said, ''should
be provided which are adapted to
the peculiar needs of agriculture,
and thus make it possible for farm
lers to produce efficiently and album
dainty. This is all the more i'm.
portant to our business and indus
tial life now that we are coming into
period Of strenuous competition
with foreign manufacturers"
Discussing the proposed appoint
ment of a representative of agri-
culture to the federal reserve board,
Mr.. wallace said such a step would
simply put agriculture on a par
with commerce and industry in the
wording of the law federal reserve
act, and it is far-fetched assump-
ton that any president would ap-
point any man not qualified for the
position
"a careful examination of the
credit facilities of the country" he
continued, "leads one to the con-
clusion that they have been devised
almost entirely in the interest of
industry and commerce. With the
notable exception of the federal
farm loan system, the needs of agri-
culture have had little attention,
having in mind that agriculture
is our basic industry, and that it
cannot be conducted efficiently in
the absence of credit facilities,
should there be no agreement to the
statement that both long time and
short time money ought to be as
easily and as cheaply available to
the farmer as to industry and COM

Spraying Peach Trees

what is home without an Or
cnard? 1t is certainly not the kind
VI place it ought to be. The rea-
suns Tor this are as follows: First
VI all, the boys and girls, and even
me adults living on the land have
neen denied the privilege of associa-
ION with something that is wonder
4u!ly beautiful and inspiring at GER
IAN seasons of the year. Is there
anything more attractive and that
appeals more strongly to the imaGi-
natlon and to our sense of the beau
lliul than an orchard in bloom?
II IS realized by all that there is
q oe1lciency IN the supply of fruit on
Inc average farm. This is due to
our frequent neglect of the cultiva-
.lon OF fruit trees. Wherever the
Importance of the orchard has been
overlooked the children of the home
nave been denied what am inclined
10 call not only right, but q priv
uege as well. Fruits are among
the most wholesome of the things
winch we can eat. They supply
acids and mineral salts and vita
mines which we can obtain in no
other way. An abundance of good
1ruit is part Of the heritage which
every boy and girl should expect to
enjoy. 1t is strange under the cir
cumstances that we have not en-
phasized the orchard more particu-
iarly on the average farm. No
doubt this is due in some measure
TO the fact that we have now so
many insect pests and plant dis
eases to contend with. OF course, if
we do not spray the orchard and
take care Of it it will not prove a
profitable investment. There will
be comparatively little fruit reach
maturity, at least, that is perfect in
quality. Most Of it will be lost as
result of injury by insects or on
account of s.le attack of some fun

How to Use Calcium Arsenate
Against the WeeviI

How to Use Calcium Arsenate
Against the WeeviI
A. c., HARRISON, Ca, writes:
L wish information in regard to
the use of calcium arsenate for
the destruction Of the boil wee
vii. How often should cotton. be
busted and at what stages is it
most effective? How much is
needed per acre? What is the
best fertilizer for land that is
mixed with sand and clay?
The number of times cotton should
be busted with calcium arsenate de
Ponds a good deal on seasonal con
ditions, and the time at which the
weevil makes it's appearance anc
begins to damage the crop to any
material extent. AS rule farm
ers have been advised not to ust
calcium arsenate until ten per cent
or more of the bolls are punctured
We believe this is a mistake. When
ever there is evidence of anv ma
terial damage calcium arsenatt
should be used Immediately. 1t mus
be applied only as fine dust sprav
and it should be put on when there
is plenty OF dew to absorb and hole
the poison. Applications will thus
have to be made very early in the
morning or late in the evening. We
believe that the applications of cal
cium arsenate should be relatively
concentrated as to space of time. We
think one application might be made
say today, and the next about three
or four days later. A concentra
ton of three or four application.
in this way is likely to prove much
more destructive to the weevil, il
our judgment, than spacing the an
pl1cations out over a longer period
of time.
AS a rule pounds of calcium
arsenate will be sufficient to dus
an acre. 1t will, therefore, take
rs to 80 pounds, depending on the
number of applications made. We
believe that in the earliest stages
it is better to pick the weevils off
rather than attempt to poison then
at this time.
Probably a 9-3.3 or 9-3-4 formula
would be about the right thing to use
on your land. This formula is moi

may be prepared from any materi

be put under the drill row at the
time the cotton is planted, or a few
days before. Side applications ar,
