LYNN, Mass.-How would you feel
walking about with a 14-inch Sec
ton of cows rib as part of spine?
Edward c'Spider Bill') Cosgrove
formerly blacksmith, and living
at No. 20 Church street, three times
on the operating table at Massachu-
sets General hospital, answers that
he is feeling. fine and has no de-
sire to moo" when bottle Of milk
is set before him.
Once declared by physicians and
surgeons doomed to be a cripple for
life and spend his time in bed now,
each day in his home, he hobbies
about with the aid of crutches, and
within a short time expects again
to be walking the streets which he
traversed before a horse kicked him
in the back. Cosgrove's time is
spent making dolls furniture, and
only on cold days is he much in
conVenienced.
1.-The cold gets in my legs and /
don't care much about moving" he
told a World reporter, who called
on him.
When the accident happened,
104 pounds; today he weighs $50
pounds, having added pound since
New Years. He says he is now
t'going strong"
ut is twelve years since the horse
kicked me-" said Cosgrove. cat
first it caused me some pain, but
wasn't more than temporarily incon-
venienced. Later, I suffered two
more injuries to the spine, but con-
tinued at my work. I. drove jit-
ney bus for several months, and
the jolting of the automobile result
ed in weakening my back even more.
a few months later my limbs became
paralyzed. For years [ had worn a
stiff leather jacket to protect the
tender part of my back, but, sud-
denly paralyzed in the legs, i was
obliged to give up work and throw
myself upon the mercy of physi-
clans and surgeons"
His ailment was diagnosed as
Potts Disease, or tuberculosis OF
the spine. The operation, the doc
tors said, might save his life for
4 few years, but with little possibii-
ity of his ever again putting his feet

some of the surgeons on the battle

taught them many new things, and
they decided that portion Of Co.'S
groves spira should be cut away.
A strip, about ten inches long, on
one side of the spinal column, Gov
ering all of one side, was cut away
and replaced with a rib of a cow.
For four weeks I lay on my
back, strapped to a cot, until tn
stitches were healed and then was

of a young cow was whitfield and
chiseled into the proper shape to
replace the diseased portion of the

added for good measure and to give
strength to the substitute spinal
column. I was allowed to watch the
surgeons perform the preparatory
work on the rib, but after that was

Potato Production in the South

An investigation into the food sup
ply of some thirty counties in the
central part Of the state Of Georgia
indicates the astonishing fact that
only $1,000 bushels of Irish potatoes
We're produced therein. The popula-
ton Of these thirty counties is made
up of 570,430 individuals. They GER
ta1nly did not eat many Irish pota.
Ioes in recent years, or else the sta
tlstics on which these figures are
based are extremely faulty. AS a
matter Of fact, the city Of Macon,
which is the center of the commune
" covered by the survey, undoubted-
ly consumed more Irish potatoes
than the whole trade territory tribu-
tary to it produced. Where did
these potatoes come from? Some
or them may have been shipped in
from Florida in the early spring, but
the great majority of them no doubt
found heir way south during he fall,
winter and spring from points north
of the Ohio river or located in the
far east.
1t is seeming travesty of econom-
ic laws that Irish potatoes should
be shipped from Maine to Georgia.
AT best think this must be a dis
lance closely approximating $500
miles. We would naturally presume
under such conditions that Maine
could produce Irish potatoes at a
relatively lower cost than we could
in the south. or that Maine possess
ed a climate in which the potato
natures more satisfactorily than our
own. It is true we like to get Irish
potato seed from Maine and other
northern points for spring planting.
Possibly this is practice which we
will always continue, but this does
not mean that the potatoes we raise
here are not of the choicest quality
in so far as their edible character
istics and composition is concerned,
nor does it mean that they will not
keep just as long as may be desir-
able, or that we cannot grow a Sec
ond crop from our own seed with
advantage.
There is no way Of definitely es-
tablishing the needs of Georgia in
the matter of Irish potatoes, but
am of the opinion that we should I'M
dertalle to produce for home con-
sumption not less than three bush
els per capita. It would, therefore,
take approximately 100000 bushels
for our own needs. At the present
time we are growing something like
100000 bushels. At least, these
were the figures of 1919, and think
we did about as well in 1920. The
potato crop of 1919 was said to be
worth $4,000, 900. This was nice
little sum Of money to be turned
loose in the state at a season of the

done there ensued five hours of
darkness, while the physicians per-
formed the operation"
An incision fourteen inches long
was made at one side of the spine
so that the muscles and flesh direct
ly over the grated bone could be
pressed firmly into position after the
operation
Then Cosgrove was put into a
plaster. cast and the knitting process
on his spine began. In a few weeks,
long, anxious weeks for Cosgrove's
family, the surgeons pronounced the
operation a success. The first OPP
Grafton was performed in September,
1919, another in October, 1920, and
the third on February 81, 1921.
One of the unusual features Of
the operation, aside from the pa
TENTS rapid recovery, was the use
of the beef bone. Most grating OPP
erations require only two or three
inches of substitute bone, and a
silver from the patients shin is gen.
orally used. The beef rib used was
similar to that of the rib roast, to
he found in any butchers shop.

QUESTION BOX
T. E. D.: see no objection in the world
to friendly correspondence between young
people.
Newly Wed: 1 am glad to answer your
question as to the proper way of signing a
of signing a personal letter Mrs. So and
So Nothing is worse form. If you are
on terms of familiarity with the person to
whom you write, just sign your name Mary
Jones, if your acquaintance is so slight that
there may be some confusion about your
identity, or if it is your first letter to that
person, sign you rname Mary Jones but put
in brackets before it if you are married
your husbands initials. For example MRS.
e. NJ Mary Jones, or if single (Miss) Mary
Jones.
Dear Heart: My opinion is that this boy
you speak of does not care particularly for
you. If his type, is what you write the
very best thing fors you to do is to leave
him alone, be friendly but distant. man
that loves and respects a girl never does
things to humiliate- or make her unhappy.
1 think you are decidedly too young to
marry.
Lonely Girl: Any man who can write and
vet permits his sister to write his letters
for him is rather fake, think.
Invalid Girl: 1 am sorry but I do not
know any firm that would purchase your
hats out of hand. Try a small advertise
ment in your local paper. Believe you
would be more likely to get work that way
1t might pay you to advertise your work
in city paper as we'll. OF course the
people employing you would expect you
to furnish a sample of your work.

Controlling Anthracnose in Water.
melons

S. M. Y, Quitman, Ga, writes:
I wish to know how to treat
watermelon seed to control an
thracnose. Would also like to
know what kind Of poison to use
to control the boil weevil and
how to use it.
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1922-03-11

Watermelon seeds should be treat
ed with mercuric chloride made up
in the strength of one part Of the
poison to 1000 parts of water. Mer-
curic chloride, also known as cor
rosive sublimate is a very deadly
poison; therefore it should be han.
died very carefully and only by re-
sponsible persons. The seed should
be Immersed in the solution for five
minutes. The seed should be thor
oughly washed in running water aft
er the operation. \ Where this is done
there will be no Injurious effect on
termination.
1t is considered good practice to
use a dust spray Of calcium arsenate
against the weevil. The spraying
should be done relatively early m
the season. The tendency has prob
ably been to wait too long before be-
ginning the use of the dust spray.
The calcium arsenate must be put
on still day Or during the night.
Three or four treatments should be
made in the season not over four
! days apart. The idea is to concen-
trate the use of the poison and try
to destroy at least one generation of
