BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS
Few Persons Know How the Won
derful Colors are Made.

, New York American.
Watching the sunset is a joy
that never pales, yet only few
people who see the wonderful
colors understand how they are
made. Merely to say that it is
due to the dust or to the mois-
ture does not explain, yet the
matter is entirely simple. Indeed
if one were able to tell exactly
the amount of dust or moisture
that existed in the path OF the
air that we see at the time of
sunset, he would be able to
prophesy accurately the colors OF
the sunset to within seconds
time.
Sunlight is a mixture of near
ly all colors known, fused TO
form white, and which are seen
separated in the rainbow or on
prism of glass. Color is depen-
dent upon the length of the wa
yes of light, the orange and yell
low being the long waves and
the blue and green the shortest.
The effect of dust in the air is to
show the direct passage of light,
because the light is reflected
from every piece of dust. The
long rays of light, that is to say,
the yellow, come through easily,
the short waves, that is to say
the blues, are more easily broken
up. 1t follows, therefore, that
the sunlight which reaches the
earth contains a yellow tinge-
we speak of golden sunlight
but the light that is stopped is
scattered in the sky and forms
the blue.
When the sun is setting or
rising we see the light through
very much greater thickness
OF air, a thickness so great that
if the air be dusty or very moist
the blue rays cannot get through
at all. When the density is at
it's greatest only the dar kest reds
get through. This was the rea-
son that after the eruption of the
volcano Krakatoa, when the air
was filled with the volcanic dust
thrown to a great height, for
nearly two years wonderful sun
sets were seen all over the world.
The dust prevented the blue s
from coming through, and g,
wonderful yellow and orange
effect. Also it will be noticed
In watching sunset that the
lighter colors, such as yellow,
begin to spread over the sky,
even before the sun has sunk
below the horizon, and that the
deeper colors follow in order as
the sun sinks and the RAYS have
more and more air and dust par
ticles to pass through. At sun.
rise he order is reversed, and
even on fine day the rosy blush
of dawn shows this same fact of
the longer reddish light waves
being the first to get through.

FARMERS COLUMN
Interesting Farm News Culled
For Our Farmer Friends.
Farmers and the Price of Food.

Ii the farmers do not make great
improvements it will not be for
want of advisers. The three can
didates for. president are all able
to tell them just what they need
President Taft yesterdaI pro-
claimed that the price foodst u IF 8
could be greatly reduced by as
sisting the farmer to reduce the
cost of production. That is a
very wise statement. He also
calls for more farms and farmers
He thinks cooperative farm ere
dit and uniform state legislation
will s"lve the problem. He has
invited the governors Of all the
states to conference on this
subject when they meet in De.
cember in their annual meeting
He claims that the farmers of
the United States are operating
on borrowed capital ne arly
equal to their products. BY a
cooperative system the farmer
would save half the interest he
is now paying on this borrowed
money. The plan is practiced
in Europe and the money is let
out at small interest, thus ena-
bling the farmer to secure best
methods of raising his crops.
All that sounds we'll, but the
pay - you go plan will be deci-
dc tly better. The easier it is
for many persons to borrow mon
ey, they will 60 in debt to the
limit aud never try TO get out 80
long as they can borrow.
What the farmers need is not
so much credit, but the ability
to live without it. In former
days farmers were the money len
ders of the country. Then there
was no cry of high priced food.
What we need today is the indie.
pendent farmer who makes his
own supplies and is never trou.
bled by debts hanging over him.
Just at the close of the war
hundreds of farmers lived hard,
some of them for weeks had no
meat of consequence in their
homes. They pulled through
and were getting on finely till
the lien law and easy credit
came and then they began 10 90
back ward.
A negro of that period was
asked by a white friend how he
was getting on in the world. His
reply was Boss, Use doing
monstrous we'll. Tse now living
on a lien / dun give on next
years crop"
Hundreds of small white far.
mers went down during that
lien period and lost their farms
and homes. Easy credit was
bad for them and it is bad for
any people. Men or corpora
tions which lend money are
going TO have ample security and
demand the pay to the last cent.
The hope OF the farmer is to
get on cash basis and then
high-priced food will not trouble
him. He who has neat enough
to do him twelve months and
corn in abundance, with a few
fat yearlings for beef in his pas
ture, is not troubled about the
food market .-Carolina Spartan.
