"Chinch-Bug Cholera'
Great Benefit to Mon

In the Mississippi valley there Is 4
disease known as "chinch-bug ehol-
era" It Is known in other parts Of
the country also, but perhaps not 30
well as there. This is one of the dis
eases that benefits man, for it attacks
only insects that are Injurious to his
crops. The disease IL caused by a
parasitic fungus, known scientifically
as Sporotrichum giobuliferum. and Its
host is the dreaded destroyer Of corn
and wheat. the chinch-bug.
1t is Of great interest and impor-
tance that this fungus may be cult
waited artiically in the laboratory. II
thrives on culture media of different
kinds. and may be sent out to farm.
ers in badly infected areas. The meth
cd followed is to distribute the bodies
Of infected insects In the fields. either
dead or alive. The disease is then
contracted by the healthy bugs and
soon spreads over the infected local
ity. helping to. extermfnate the pest
If not eliminating 1t altogether.
Many kinds OF insects are subject to
these fungus attacks, but 1t appears
to follow that they thrive wen only in
moist weather. The chinch-bug fun.
gus Is probably the only one that has
been seriously experimental upon and
turned to the use Of man. but there Is
no doubt at all that others might be
brought under control, and eventually
become Of enormous benefit to the hu.

when the Normuns wers besieging
Paris, many of them were drowned
and they had forthwith to raise the

the taunt which the monkish chron-
icler poet Abbo afterward addressed
to the folled warriors.
Much as Paris has suffered In mod

these visitations has been trifiing COM

1.-The farmer cannot solve his mar.
keting problems by individual effort,
neither Is cooperative marketing a
panacea for all the farmers economic
difficulties" declared Lloyd 3. Tenny,
assistant chief of the bureau of agri-
cultural economics. United States De.
partment Of Agriculture. In IN address
at the annual meeting Of the Chamber
of Commerce # the United States held
at Cleveland
Discussing cooperative marketing,
Mr.. Tenay pointed out that the farmer
is essentially a manufacturer and 10
confronted with the same marketing
problems as the manufacturer Of any
other product.
1.-THE farmer has the same right to
control and solve these economic ques-
tions as have other business men," Mr..
Tenny said individual effort cannot
solve them and group action is In
volved. It is not only necessary that
the right of the farmer to organize be
accepted morally, but that this right
be recognized by law. Congress has
recently passed the Capper- volstead
act which gives this right to farmers,
and most of the Individual states have
taken similar action. The federal law
simply gives producers the privilege
of combining to do for themselves
what any manufacturing corporation
has always had the right to do, name
ly, to handle in wholesale way the
output of their production plants"
Cooperative marketing among farm
ers must be considered in the light of
and judged by the results accom-
plished through cooperation. Mr..
Tenny pointed out. and then as
proof that cooperative marketing Is
producing satisfactory results he
stated that during the year 1923 a
total business amounting to over 81
2OO,OOOOOO was handled in the United
States through cooperative associa-
tions.

WHAT IS 's.
"a, INSULIN? {.
Dn. rREDERICK n. GREEN
EAiteR Of "HEALTH"

nABETEs 10 disease character
- lied by the presence of sugar In
the urine. It has been known for thou
sands Of years. f .l4 gel y.
Formerly regarded az disease Of
the kidneys, 1t was found. about forty
years ago, to be due to degeneration
Of the pancreas, following some infec-
tion, such as influenza or typhoid to
yer. It may be caused by obesity.
In 1890, Langerhans found tint only
4 part Of the gland was destroyed In
diabetes and that the pancreas was
really two glands in one.
One gland secretes the puncreauc
Juice, which goes into the small intes-
tine and aids digestion. The other
gland manufactures substance which
is taken up by the blood and which ID
necessary for sugar digestion.
The parts Of the gland which secrete
this second substance are called the
Islands of Langerhana
II these islands degenerate, then the
sugar In the food. instead Of being
used by the body. is discharged through
the kidneys. So that. no matter how
much the patient eats. he is unable to
get enough nourishment. because much
of his food ID thrown away.
Diabetic patients have enormous ap-
petites, but the more they eat the more
poorly nourished they are. To make
matters worse, the changed chemistry
Of the body produces an acid condition
of the blood called acidosis. which
eventually poisons the patient.
He becomes unconscious-what ID
known as diabetic coma-and usually
never awakens.
In 1921, DIR. F. g. Banting, young
Canadian physician. determined to find
this mysterious substance, the absence
Of which caused diabetes.
After many experiments he sue
ceeded in making serum containing
the secretion Of the Islands Of LANCER
hans, which he called insulin-
1t is now made from the pancreas
Of the hog, which contains more insulin
than that Of any other animal.
Before the discovery Of insulin the
only thing the doctor could do for dia-
betics was to give them starch and
sugar-free diet.
Since Doctor Banting's discovery 1t
is possible to restore the diabetic pa
tient to practically normal condition.
The doctor weighs the patients food.
estimates the amount of sugar eaten
and the, amount of sugar excreted.
Then he gives the patient enough
insulin to digest the sugar taken into
the body. This, enables the body to
a,,sorb it.
Insulin is not cure for diabetes. II
replaces the missing substance In the
blood of the diabetic patient and 90
enables him to lead a normal life.
It is not a substitute for other meth
ods of treatment. Careful diet and
ways of living are still necessary.
1t is possible that its continued use
may restore the pancreas to normal
at least in mild cases, but this We do
not know, as yet.
