Carrollton Hospital Closed
At a meeting of tho directors of tho
Carrollton Memorial Hospital Mondnv
night it was decided to close it up for
lack of financial support. Tho hospi
tal is in debt and has been operating
at a loss for some time. Some few hnvo
worked faithfully and well to keep
the doors open to suffering humanity,
but these faithful few cannot afford
to financo it longer. If Cnrrollton and
Carroll county aro to hnvo a hospital
some plan to raise finances to run this
institution must be adoptod at once,
in order to re-open its doors before
it is everlastingly to late, so far ns
the most of this generation is concern
ed. When this property as hospital
property passes into other hands for
other purposes, it’s goodbyo hospital
for Cnrrollton for a quarter or half
centu ry.
This building and efuipment can bo
purchased at 50 cents on tho dollar of
its actual worth or first cost. It does
look like thero nro men in Carrollton
and Carroll county who should como to
tho rescue, and save this hospital for
treatment of suffering humanity.
The opening of this hospital was a
long stop forward, and allowing its
doors to remain permanently closed
will be a longer step backward.
Now, what will everybody do to re
open its doors.

THE PEOPLES BANK
Atlanta, Ga., Fob. 28.—The Nation
al Campaign for Boll Weevil Control,
which was launched in Atlanta last
week, docs not seek to supplant any
existing agency for combatting the in-
aoct pest but has tho purpose of mob
ilizing now, forces and throwing ad
ditional strength to tho support ol
thoso who hnvo conducted warfare upon
tho “Billion Dollar Bandit” in past
yonrs, according to Dr. Miller Reese
Hutchinson, the Alabama scientiest and
inventor, who is managing director of
(ho campaign.
“Tho widespread effects of tho boll
weevil’s ravages make this problem a
matter of concern to the entiro public,”
Dr. Hutchinson said. “One of the ob
jects of this campaign will bo to mob
ilize a ‘civilian army,’ tho strength of
which will be added to that of the
‘regulars’, the federal and state agri
cultural agencies. Just as the regular
army constitutes the backbono of the
war force when fighting another na
tion, so aro the established agencies for
combatting the boll weevil the primary
factors in this warfare.”
The National Cotton Conference on
Boll Weovil Control held hero last wook
assembled lending figures of all brnnehes
of tho cotton industry, scores of agri
cultural research and extension workers
from the Southern states, representa
tives of the United States Department
of Agriculture including Dr. W. D
Hunter and completed tho campaign or
ganization with Dr. Hutchinson as su
preme generalissimo of tho forces of
tho North and South fighting the “Mex
ican Invader.”
At tho present time, according to Drj
Hutchinson, war will be waged on the
weovil with all tho known weapons at
hand in order to save as much as is
possible of the 1923 crop from destruc
tion by tho pest. This work will be
carried on by means of a campaign of
practical information and donionstra
tion in all the cotton growing counties
of the South, Demonstration farms in
theso counties, under the direction of
experts, will give to the planters the
best methods.of fighting the weevil in
their particular, area by use of known
poisons, scientific use of fertilizers and
intensive cultivation.
In addition to this work experiments
aro already under way to devise new
and better means of exterminating or
controlling tho insect. At Dr. Hutch
inson’s request, experiments ore now lie
ig carried on at Glemson Collego, 8. C.
with the idea of fighting tho pest
through sterilization of the oggs by
mating of X-rays s ated in’ ch-inir."!
salts. Another experiment, suggested
by Hudson Maxim at the conference,
will bo conducted shortly with the idea
of developing a sex lure for tin 1 weevil
which can be used with a suitable pois
on and thus attract the insects to thei
doom.
President Warren G. Harding liai
pledged every resource of the technical
and scientific, agencies of the United
States to the war against tho boll wee
vil.

tures of farm practice. For tho benefit
of teachers in farm communities, the
United States Department of Agricul
ture has a bulletin on tho use of Farm
ers’ Bulletin 602, Production of Clean
Milk, as a textbook.
Topics of study in connection witli
it are tho reasons why cleanliness is im
portant; first, to tho consumer, because
of its effect on the wholesomcness of
milk as food; and second, tho producer,
becau)™ of its influence on the finan
cial ih’e of milk; bacteria and their
effects on milk; health of cattle and
human handlers of milk; disposal of
waste; how to combat flies; style and
care of dairy utensilB; stable and milk
houses; the procoss of milking; and
subsequent care of the milk. As a
preliminary to tho lessons, a survey
of conditions in the locality is advised,
and suggestions for it nro offered.
