The co - operative method is being largely adopted in this country by small growers , es- pecially in the purchase of seeds , manures , lime and tools . The Food Production Depart- ment directs attention to two schemes adopted by bodies of small growers that might advan- tageously be adapted to other districts . Both are intended to guard against a shortage of money when it becomes necessary to buy new seeds and other requirements for next . season .

CORONER'S CRITICISM OF A DOCTOR . " It seems incredible , " said Mr. Ingleby Oddie , the Lambeth Coroner , on Tuesday , " that in these days of the National Insurance Act and of the supervision of workmen a man could have been allowed to be walking about the streets in this horrible condition . ' Deceased , Alban John Horgan ( 50 ) , a Lon- don County Council tram washer , fell into a pit while at work on May 24. He injured his foot , but had worked for two days afterwards , then he had a short rest , and worked again for three weeks . Five weeks from the date of the accident he consulted a doctor for the first time , but disregarded his advice to go to a hospital . Norwood , for having attended the man when The Coroner criticised . Dr. Anderson , of West his advice had been disregarded . If he had been unable to make a proper diagnosis and flatly refused to have anything further to do his advice was not followed , he should have with the case . about with a compound fracture in the foot , As it was , the man was walking gangrene set in , and there were maggots crawling about the injured part . Dr. Anderson said that on the man's second visit the swelling was less . The last time the man called he said that the foot was much better . He would not take his boot off . Wit- ness attended him as he had known him many years , but he admitted that it would have been . taken . The Coroner said that in his own interests the doctor should have said to deceased : " I wash my hands of you . " Dr. Anderson said that it would be a great reflection on his professional ability if it were allowed to go out that there was a fracture , when he was not consulted until so long after the injury , and it was possible that the frac- ture had been set up as a consequence of the man's condition . A verdict of " Accidental Death turned . was re- WOMAN SMOKER'S DEATH . THREE PACKETS OF CIGARETTES IN A DAY . At an inquest at Southwark on Thursday on Ellen Baxter , aged twenty - eight , of Library- buildings , Borough - road , London , S.E. , who died suddenly on Sunday soon after she had gone to bed , the husband said his wife was a heavy cigarette smoker and would smoke a packet every night . He did not know that . she smoked during the day , but she smoked three packets on Sunday . That had been go- ing on for years . On Sunday evening they : went for a walk , and his wife had two glasses of beer and a glass of stout . She was greatly alarmed at the news of the air raid . that the valves of the heart were diseased , and Dr. George Elwyn said an autopsy showed the excessive smoking was the explanation of the dilation of the heart . Death was due to syncope . The jury returned a verdict of Death from Natural Causes . 9.
