HARD TO DESCRIBE
Wondrous SpIendor of the Dying Sun
Almost Battles Description.

The traveller in the icy Northern
regious is filled with awe and stands
all> enraptured, gazing at this beauti-
full phenomenon of nature, scarcely
able to express his appreciation in
words. so overcome is he by this burst
of splendor in the otherwise cheer
less North.
1t is feeling somewhat akin to
this that comes upon one when gazing
at the western sky after the orb OF
day has set in the distant horizon,
writes Ignatius Johnson. The scene is.
ever old, yet ever new, and one seems
never to tire of it, The sun has just
disappeared beneath the horizon and
the heavens are all aglow with the
reflection of its rays. The co!or
scheme is magnificent, yet indescriba-
bic because of it's wondorus tints and
hues. The silver-lned clouds are
scattered here and there, forming
part of a mass of glowing splendor.
Again, other clouds, like long
streamers on background of glow
ing red seems to radiate from the in
visible orb. Moment after moment
the whole panorama seems to change,
bringing scene upon scene before the
onlooker Gradually it fades until
night has drawn the veil of darkness
over it.
The wonder indeed has disappeared,
but into the heart of the spectator
there steals the realization of the
greatness, the power and especially
the love that moved the hand of the
master artist as he painted the mas
terpieCe.

FARMER SURVIVES
TURNER COUNTY FARMER IN
BLOODY DIFFICULTY

Lee RObinette, Turner county
farmer, was brought to the hospital
III Cordele late last night suffering
from three wounds inflicted by
James Kearce, another Turner coun-
ty farmer, according to report, and
the victim is today out from the eff

good condition with many good
chances of recovery. One shot passed
near the heart. Another went through
the bowels, and a third hit in the
shoulder. The injured man was i'm
medistely operated on and is now on
a tight for recovery with the odds in
his favor.
The two men fought, it was said,
over farming which did together last
year. Grievances had been harbored
until there was a renewal yesterday
late on an infrequented street in
Ashburn. There were said to be eye
witnesses. The injured man had no
weapon according to report and the

WILL TRY POISONING

Since the advent of the boil weevil
efforts have been made to control the
pest by poisoning. The first efforts
were unsuccessful, but later expert.
ments have given more promising re-
suits
All early efforts were directed to
ward applying poison in such manner
that the boil Weevil would take it in
feeding. The feeding habit of the wee
vii made this practically impossible,
for the weevil has a long, slender
snout and feeds largely on the in
ner tissues of the plant 1t has been
determined, however, that the wee
vii drinks from the rains or dew which
collects in droplets on the plant 1t
of the weevil would probmmhmh htht
occurred to the investigators that an
effort to poison the drinking water of
the weevil would probably be more
successful. Experiments were con-
Quoted to determine this point and
these were decidedly successful.
Several methods of application and
several forms of poinsons have been
experimental with The greatest de-
gree of success has been obtained
from the seof arsencals carrying
high percentages or arsenic pentoX-
ide and applied in powdered from
with a dust gun. Calcium arsenate
seems to be the most desirable form
in that it has so high percentage of
arsenic pentoXide and is relatively
inexpensive. Snce the poison is to be
taken from the droplets of water it is
more effective if applied when the
plants are moist from dew or rain,
The Investigators are still experiment
ing with methods of application, and
the methods that are found most eff
fective will be recommended to the
cotton growers.
These discoveries are valuable in
that they will greatly decrease the
cost of production of cotton in wee
vii infested territories, sine ethe cost

to the first method tried. A few de-
monstrations of the methods suggest

Report of Farm Loan Board.-In

Report of Farm Loan Board.-In-
crease in the lending power Of federal
land banks and the grant of authority
for them to write fire insurance on
farm property were advocated by the
farm loan board in its annual report
submitted to congress last Tuesday.
Modification of the federal loan act so
as to make the minimum loan $500 in
stead of 500, and maximum loans
$4,000 instead Of $4,000 also was
urged.
The report was described as cover
ing"the first year of operation" of the
farm loan system, the first year of the
board being spent in organization.
1.-The year was one Of very evident
progress" declared the report, which
contained a table showing that farm
loans increased from 1889 to 3,349
during the year; that the capital OF
the IL federal land banks increased
from s10,4SS,23O to s16.25O,2S5; that
loans in force increased from $29,S16,-
s04 to $14s,OO4,439; that point stock
banks increased from four to nine;
and their loans now amount to ST.
3S0,734; and that interest rates of the
land banks was or 81 per cent, and
that of stock land banks was per
cent.
Interesting information as to. the
application by borrowers Of loans
from the land banks was given In a
detailed statement dealing with about
one third of all the loans closed by
the banks. This statement showed
that per cent of the proceeds of the
loans were used to buy land; 10 per
cent for buildings and improvements;
60 per cent to pay of existing mort
cages; 10 per cent for payment for
other debts; per cent for purchase
of bank stock; per cent for purchase
Of livestock, and 8 per cent for I'M
plements and equipments.
1.-The loaning Of over $4,000 has
been of distinct and direct benefit to
more than $4,000 borrowers" declared
the report, land has been Of indirect
benefit to every applicant for a farm
loan through private agencies.
"A distinct reduction, not only of
The rate Of interest on such loans, but
also in the accompanying charges,
was manifest Immediately after the
passage Of the act"

GREAT NAVY PLANNED.
Suggestion that Programme Runs
Counter to Great Britain's.

Suggestion that Programme Runs
Counter to Great Britain's.
An American navy second to none
in the world of 1925 was advocated
before the house naval affairs COM
mittee the other day by Rear Admiral
Badger, speaking for the general
board of the navy, of which he is
chairman. Admiral Badger said the
general board, had before the signing
of the armistice conceived plans for a
six-year construction program which
would bring the navy to that strength.
The necessity of protecting the great
merchant marine now building and OF
Americas contributing her full share
to an international police force neces-
sary to enforce the authority Of a
league of nations were cited as rea-
sons for an unprecedented expansion
in American naval Eower.
America should undoubtedly have a
navy commensurate with these re-
sponsibilities and others equally well
recognized, including the protection
of thousands of miles of coast line,
which means a navy Of highest eff
cheney and one constantly re-enforced
in power. But the policy Of a navy
second to none goes beyond this ba-
sis of expansion and obviously means
entering upon a competitive program.
Premier Lloyd George remarked of
the British navy the other day that 1t
was a defensive rather than an Of
fensive weapon. The best land bat
teries have proved impregnable in the
war against naval assaults. Con-
trasted with the military arm neces-
sary for the seizure and occupation OF
territory, navies are in their nature de-
fensive weapons, necessary for the
protection of outlying territories, trade
routes, etc. The sentiment of Great
Britain in support of her great naval
establishment is very reasonably
founded on this view. Her naval
power may be said to be in proportion
to the protection needs for such a
widely distributed empire and for
England's vital dependence upon trade
with her dominions and the rest Of the
world.
Great Britain need of sea power is
not the measure of Americas need.
BY entering into competitive naval ex-
pansion with Great Britain in order
merely to have navy second to none
the United States might we'll be out
running it's necessities. Colonel Roose-
Welt has said that from every aspect
it would be folly for the United States
to attempt to surpass Great Britain in
sea power. 1t is believed that public
opinion will align itself in support of
that view.
A powerful addition to the American
navy is contemplated in the new three
year construction program which Sec
retary Daniels has presented to con-
gress and which bespeaks an admin
istration policy of continued naval eX-
pansion to meet the needs and re-
sponsibility of the nation, this policy
having been uninfuenced as yet by any
possible readjustment of armaments
