SON'S DEATH IS HELD CAUSE OF LAMB SUICIDE
Weil-Known Richmond Traveling Salesman Takes Life . at Elks' Club. Funeral services for Galen Lamb, 45 years old, who was found dead last evening In the Elk's club, will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at the home, on East Main street. Burial will 'be in Earlham cemetery. Mr. Lamb's death was due to a bullet -wound in the head, self-inflicted, and was brought about by a weakened mental condition, due chiefly to worry over the loss of his son. Moorman, Lamb left his home yesterday morning and went to the Elks' club. He had asked Harry Gilbert to meet him there at 1 o'clock, and Instructed the porter to tell Mr. Gilbert that he would be found in the lodge room upstairs. "When Mr. Gilbert arrived shdrtly after 1 o'clock, he found no one who had seen Mr. Lamb, and believing that he was too late, left without going upstairs. About 7:30 o'clock last night, Charles Wolke, with some friends entered the lodge room and found Lamb's body on the floor. Death Instantaneous. Mr. Lamb was for a number of years a salesman for a large New York cloak bouse. Yesterday, It is Bald, he received a letter asking him when he would return, and this is believed to have hastened his act. Coronor Bond stated today that he had not filed a verdict, but that evidence left it no doubt that the suicide was due to Mr. Lamb'B unbalanced mental condition. Condition of the body, the coronor said, showed that he fired the shot Into his head about 11:30 o'clock in the morning. A letter addressed to his wife telling of his intention showed clearly that he had been planning suicide, the coronor said:
Mr. Lamb was the Bon of Benjamin Lamb, one of the pioneer residents of this city, having come here as a settler from North Carolina. He is survived by his widow, and two brothers, Benjamin and Fhyle. He was a member of the Elks club, the Country club and several other civic and social organisations. Friends may call at the
home, Friday between the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock In the afternoon and 7 and 9 o'clock in the evening.

Potato Growers Mast Look
Out For Dangerous Hoppers
Potato e rowers should be on the
look out for small green fly like leaf
hoppers which cause great damage to the potato crop, says F. W. Wesler, garden suDenrisor. These hoppers.
like the plant lice secure their food by sucking the Juice from the potato leaves and stems. As a result of their attack the leaves dry up, turn brown
and take on a dead appearance. Most damage Is done during hot, dry weather. Often in walking through the fields the adujt hoppers will rise and fly ahead in swarms. There are three generations a year, the first one appearing about the time the first potato plants are three of four inches high. Usually becomes most destructive during July and August. It Is not possible to destroy the adults or the winged hoppers hence the necessity of getting them before they reach this stage. This may be done by spraying with nicotine sulprate commonly know as Black Leaf 40, using one-half pint to 50 gallons of Bordeaux mixture or one teaspoonful for each gallon. The Bordeaux acts as a reppellant The first spray should be applied when first signs of the insects appear, usually when the plants are 3 to 4
Inches high. An additional spray should be applied every two weeys
as long as plants are infected. Thor
oughness of application is absolutely
essential for any degree or success.
To do this both sides of the leaves
must be sprayed since the young hopner must be covered with the nic
otine solution to destroy them.
Nicotine sulphate or Black Leaf 40 may be added to Bordeaux mixture and lead arsenate. When all three are combined potato bugs, lice, and hoppers may be controlled as well as
certain fungous diseases.
