NEW HIGH-POWER PLANT
FOR THE CANAL ZONE
Construction Will Begin Shortly on
Large Naval Radio
Station.

Construction is to begin shortly on the
large naval radio station at Caimito.
Panama Canal Zone, to be known as the
Darien radio station. 1t is to be a 100
kilowatt plant OF the same power as the
Arlington station here. In the size of its
towers it will exceed the latter: each of
the three masts will be coo feet high.
whereas at Arlington one of the towers is
GOO feet in height. and two are $50 feet
high.
The bases OF the towers will be about
$50 feet above sea level and they will be
arranged i'm triangle. approximately 800
feet on side. The sending and receiving
radius will be nominally 1900 miles. so
that communication may be held direct
with the Arlington station, instead of by
way of Key West. as at present.
Air Line to San Francisco.
The station will be able to talk to
San Francisco. 2,7S5 miles away by air
line. The present stations at Colon and
Balboa will be continued in use, to handle
messages for ships using the canal, and
the Caimito station will be used exclu-
sively for official business of the govern
ment principally as a relay station for
communicating with ships of the navy in
southern waters.

Fredonia Grange, No. ], of the state OF
New York, branch of the organization
of agriculturists known as the National
Grange. which has thousands of members
all over the United States. is agitating
a proposal to erect in Washington, pos
sibly in the Capitol grounds. a memorial
to the late Oliver Hudson Kelley, founder
! of the order
| 1t is proposed that the monument shall
be paid for by appropriations from each
of the oranges belonging to the order
in size according to the membership of
the grange. 1t is also proposed that at
the next meeting Of the National Grange
a committee be appointed to decide upon
the amount to be expended for the me-
mortal, and apportion the total expense
among the various oranges of the order.
Mr.. Kelley, who founded the Fredonia
On. Y) Grange in April, 1863 was long a
resident of Washington. and died in this
city last January. He lived at 2014 Kalo-
rama road northwest, where his three
daughters still reside. He was widely
known as Father Kelley. because of
| the fact that he founded the order. and
as Brother" Kelley among his fellow
members.
Born in Boston in 1926.
| He was born in Boston, January =, 1896
He received his education in the public
schools of that city. finishing with a
course at Chauncey Hall School. At the
age of twenty-one he went to Chicago
and became clerk in a drug store, at
the same time acting as reporter for
the Chicago Tribune. He went from Chi
| cago to Peoria, ILL.,, where he remained
| until 1S4S when he went to Bloomington,
Iowa. as telegraph operator.
After that he went to Itasca, in north
|
of government land and established a
! trade with the Indians. While living on
+. this farm Mr.. Kelley owned and operated
| the first reaping machine, built the first
frame barn and sowed the first acre OF
(! timothy north of ST. AnthonyS Falls.
He was the second person in the state
! of Minnesota to be initiated into the Or
| der of Freemasonry, and was the Oldest
| living member present at the jubilee cele-
| bration held in Minnesota in 1899.
! Desiring a change from farm life, in
| 1864 Mr.. Kelley came to Washington and
| through Senator Ramsey he entered the
employment of the Department of Agri-
culture. Isaac Newton was then COM
missioner of agriculture, and after the
war, following an interview with Presi-
| dent Johnson, Mr.. Kelley was sent into
| the south to obtain agricultural informa-
| ton the department had not been receiv-
ing for some time as a consequence OF
| the war
! During his travels he thought over
| the idea of forming national associa-
| ton, to be called the Patrons of Illus
| bandry, and for several years he was in
| correspondence and conversation with
various persons on the subject, resulting
eventually in the permanent organiza-
| ton of the National Grange at George
town in January, 1873. Mr.. Kelley had
| in the meanwhile left the Department of
Agriculture and had entered the Post
Office Department, and he and some kin
dred spirits met in the afternoon from
| time to time at the old United States
| Hotel, where the project of the agricul-
tural organization was worked out.

Discussion of Proposed Memorial.

Commenting on the plan to erect me-
mortal to Father" Kelley, the National
Grange Monthly says. editorially:
THE project will command instant at
attention and interest, and is a very
timely subject for grange discussion
from now on. While opinions may
differ as to what form such a memorial
might best take, it is doubtful if any
patron will feel otherwise than that

Nor Is there any doubt of the ability Of
patrons Of this country. now numbered
well toward the million mark, to carry
through almost any undertaking CT this
sort which they may finally decide
upon.
Whether it should be shaft of gran
lite at Fredonia or whether it might not
more wisely take the form of a me-
mortal building so located as to render
large service to agriculture and to edu-
cation, or whether, indeed, in some other
form than either, through the creation
of a philanthropic fund or institution
this large agricultural and educational
service might most effectively be rem
dered-these are matters of detail, even
sion from many sources. The first issue
is this: Shall the grange of the country
undertake to set up some fitting me-
mortal at this time. not merely to
Father Kelley. but expressing as
truly and in broader sense its graft
tude to all the noble founders of the
order, and to no less a degree typifying
to the promotion Of grange ideals and
possibilities? What say the patrons of
the country on this very timely ques-
tong ...-.-.-.-.-.

Elected National Secretary.

Mr.. Kelley was made secretary of the
National Grange while it consisted sole
ly of the founders, their families and a
few friends. He started out to organize
in the United States oranges. with only
railroad ticket to Harrisburg and $3.50
of grange funds in his pocket. against the
protest of his associates. Handicapped
as he necessarily was by lack of funds
his success is said to have been extraor-
binary and soon oranges sprang up as If
by magic. At first he made the grave
mistake of going to the large cities to
organize, but he soon learned that an
association intended to benefit the farm
ers must be supported by the farmers,
and sooner or later the metropolitan
oranges dropped out of existence.
At the first representative meeting of
the National Grange held in Mr.. Kel-
ley's home in February, 1873, he was
elected secretary for a term of three
years, and was reelected twice-at Louis
vile, in November, 1875 and in Cincin-
natl, Ohio, in 1877. In 1875 he moved the
Office of secretary from Washington to
Louisville, and later went to Florida, to
invest In land in the northern part of the
state. He moved the secretarys Office to
Carabelle, Fla, and in the new work Of
developing that country he had not the
time to give to the grange that the work
demanded, and resigned the office of sec
rotary. Later he returned to Washing
ton to live

H. G. Talbert, one of the most pro-
gressive farmers in Forrest county,
was in the city this morning and in
speaking of the boil weevil situation,
confirmed the statements published in
The News Friday that the condition
is critical. Mr.. Talbert said that he
is positive that he could not have ex-
pected one bale from the sixty acres
of cotton he has planted this year. had
he not gone to work with energy and
kept up the fight to exterminate the
boil weevil.
Up to this time Mr.. Talbert has
picked over his sixty acres three times.
The first picking resulted in finding
and destroying 5000 weevils, or at the
rate of 100 to the acre. The second
picking this number was reduced one
third. On the third picking, now be-
ing completed, he is finding only about
30 weevils to the acre. Mr.. Talbert
thinks that there is no difficulty to be
feared now from any migration of the
, insects and those who go over their
cotton, picking weevils closely as they
go and also picking all fallen squares
and plucking those defective squares
that have not fallen, an average cotton
crop may be expected.
Mr.. Talbert stated that he had just
as bad a condition to confront in 1912,
with the added misfortune of poor
stand of cotton and other crop pests
besides the weevil to contend with,
but even with this condition he gath
cred one bale of cotton from every
three acres he had planted.
In addition to picking over his cot
