FOUND DEAD IMPALED
ON CORN STALK IN FIELD

The body of Harry Clark, go road
foreman for D. E. O'Connell & Sons,
contractors, was found pierced by the
stub of corn stalk in a field about
85 yards from his home at Rosedale,
two miles north of Newark, by his
wife, Mary, last Sunday morning.
Chief of Police Cunningham, of
Newark, and Private Leisure, of the
State Police, who investigated, de-
clared that Clark had apparently been
dead since late Saturday night. He
is believed to have stumbled while
walking through the corn field and in
falling the stub of the corn stalk had
passed through the lower part of his
abdomen.
A pool of blood found near the body
indicated that he had bled to death.
Mud on the knees of his trousers
and the way the ground was torn up
led police to believe that he had
struggled to free himself, but had
failed because of weakness from the
loss of blood.

PLOW TOMATO
LAND IN FALL
OR DECEMBER

AS an aid in reducing losses from
leaf spot and early blight, where soil
conditions permit, growers should
pillow tomato land this fall or during
the early part of the winter, accord
ing to Herman A. Hunter, canning
crops specialist from the University
of Maryland Extension Service. Ex-
periments have shown that both of
these diseases, which rank among the
most destructive, live over the winter
on weed stems, leaves and old tomato
vines. They also pave the way for
sun scalds and various fruit rots.
The diseases may appear on the
leaves while the plants are still in
the seed bed although there is usually
no appreciate damage until the mid
die or latter part of the picking season
at which time blighting or falling of
leaves signifies their presence. The
fungi or molds causing these diseases
are similar to ordinary bread mold
and are blown from one field to an
other, spreading the disease irrespec-
tive of control measures. However,
fall or winter blowing will usually de-
lay the appearance of the disease and
thus give the plants a chance to set
and mature goodly portion of fruit
before the leaves become infected.
For best results, Mr.. Hunter advises
using the pillow with a well curved
moldboard and equipped with rolling
coster, a jointer and weed hook or
chain. Spraying or busting has not
been found very effective.
Fall blowing should apply to the
bed as well as the field, according to
Mr.. Hunter, who says that early in
fections cause the greatest injury.
Early blight organisms also cause such
stem diseases as collar rot or black
stem. In addition, it is advised to
treat the seed and change the location
Of the seed bed from year to year to
reduce trouble in this direction.

People Of the Valley refer TO them as water dis
tricts or as irrigation" districts. but IN reality they
are either water Improvement districts. or "con-
~servation and reclamation districts. according to the
section Of the constitution Of Texas under which they
were formed.
The first class. water improvement" districts. are
under the same constitutional limitation against the
issuance OF bonds against the lands within the dis
trict as applies to the county itself. Total Of bonds
issued against their lands must not exceed one fourth
o. their assessed valuations.
This provision proved most embarrassing when
Valley counties were ~indulging In their orgy Of bond
voting, 50 a new kind OF district was pushed through
which provides that there shall be limit on the
amount OF bonds to be issued against the lands OF
what are known as conservation and
districts"
Most Of our Valley districts changed TO this latter
kind Of a district in order to allow the issuance Of
county road bonds.
In Cameron county. the Harlingen and San Ben
Ito districts refused to change. and are still water
improvement" districts. o fact that Is now causing
renewed pressure TO be applied for the change in
order that the remaining s454.OOO Of the s6OOOOOO road

Editor, journal OF the american n1eulcdi ASsocLatVns
and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Most people think about goiter as a lump in the
throat. This lump. however. is caused by an enlarge
ment Of the thyroid gland which lies on each side and
across the wind pipe. and which is susceptible to all
sorts Of disturbances.
So far as we know, the thyroid gland manufactures
a substance. called thyroxin. which gets into the
blood and which has important effects on the human
body. Thyroxin Is known to have an effect on the
rate Of the body chemistry. It is known to be con-
cerned with irritabnity OF the nervous system, with
growth OF the human body. and with maintenance
OF all OF the tissues in their normal relationships.
When this gland is disturbed II begins TO turn out
an overamount OF its active principle and dangerous
results occur. One result Is called toxic goiter.
In toxic goiter the gland pours an overwhelming
amount Of its secretion into the blood. AS a result.
all OF the effects OF the thyroid are exaggerated.
Doctors have learned that overfunctioning Of the
thyroid gland can be changed to a certain extent by
giving small doses Of iodine. When iodine Is given.
the rate Of the body chemistry is at once lessened.
The pulse, which has previously been rapid, becomes
slower. and some Of the symptoms Of poisoning by
an overamount Of thyroid secretion disappear.
The iodine, however, tends 70 ameliorate the con-
dition, but It does not cure 1t. For that reason. doc
tors get the patient into condition for operation or
OLler treatment Dy BlNulB III OlALC AAob
The more serious treatment Is provided In the ap-
~pIication OF x-rays to the gland or In surgical opera
ton for the removal Of either a part or all Of the
thyroid gland. There Is q tendency to discourage the
use Of X-ray. because It is not as certain or as safe
as the surgical operation.
The operation is not particularly dangerous, pro-
vided the patient is put into suitable condition be-
fore the excelsior Is performed. The routine proce-
dure In one Of the large hospitals Is to put the pa
tent with toxic goiter to bed. watch his symptoms
constantly, and measure his basal metabolic rate
every day or two until 1t becomes stabilized at a
lower point.
Then iodine is given for from 10 to Il days until
the best possible effect from this Is obtained. This
effect is marked by a drop Of from is to 80 points
in the rate Of the metabolism, and general improve
ment In the symptoms.
AT this point. removal OF a portion Of the thyroid
gland Is undertaken
Persons who do not respond well to the iodine and
who are emotionally upset. are not rs good risks for
operation as those who do respond wei and whose
emotions are stabilized. Older persons do not respond
as well as younger ones.
IN those patients who have defective hearts as well
as an overactive thyroid, It Is necessary to take care
Of the heart by modern medical methods before the
operation Is undertaken.
