Eagles Nest Twelve Feet
High Weighs Nearly Ton
Mass of interviewer Sticks Seven Feet
Tall in Tree Is "a Years Old.

The most remarkable, eagle nest he
ever saw stands in the broken and
now dead top OF a shellbark hickory
in an open grove in Vermilion, Ohio,
and about a mile from the shore OF
the lake.
Its form is that of wine glass or
inverted cone, according to Prof. F.
H. Herrick, .of Western Reserve Uni
versity, in Nature Magazine. 1t was Il
feet high and eight and one-half feet
IN greatest width. He estimated its
weight at close to one ton.
The history OF the Vermihon eagles
can be traced back to 1910, during
which period four nests have been
built and occupied in the same neigh
borhood by the same birds or by their
successors. The fourth and present
nest was started in 1890, or little
earlier, and has been occupied with
out break for upward of "a years,
being added to each year until it is
seven feet high.
Its framework is a close mass of in
terlaced sticks, some of which are
from three to four feet long and from
two to three inches thick, all being
now bleached to light gray color.
Each spring a fresh bed OF straw,
corn stalks and stubble is laid on top
and new sticks are incorporated with

"fat" copy, that is many OF the lines
are but half-lines as to words; and
there may be counted out twelve 'em

The presentments contain a pream-

that is the antithesis OF 'witless."

RAILROADS TO SPEND
MILLIONS THIS YEAR
GIGANTIC PROGRAM TO HELP
GENERAL PROSPERITY, BUS
MESS MEN DECLARE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The railroads Of
the country, it was stated today by
railroad executives, will spend l,l00
millions OF dollars this year for new
equipment and improvements in addi-
ton to the 2,136 millions authorized
during the last two years.
This gigantic program, leading bust
ness men and editors state, will help
general prosperity 1t is typical Of
plans being made for the coming year
in many leading industries, it was
pointed out
You can safely bank on 1925 being
a boom year." stated r. NJ. Page, edi-
tor OF the Columbus (Ga) Ledger.
The railroads, in the opinion OF bus
mess men and manufacturers here,
made during the past year the largest
contribution to the prosperity OF the
country than they have ever made, and
greater than has been made by any
single industry.
For every one hundred dollars in
vested, figures made public here show,
the railroads in 1898 carried 1,24l
tons OF revenue freight one mile. In
1924 it was 1,767 tons for every hun
dred dollar investment
These economies, it is stated, were
made possible through improved
methods OF operation resulting from
new equipment.

INTERESTS OF AGRICULTURE
AND TRANSPORTATION SAME
President Downs, of Central Railroad,
Makes Interesting Statement

The farmers welfare and that OF
business generally can best be served
by permitting the railways to earn
sufficient money to supply adequate
transportation-th prime need Of the
country-is the opinion OF President
L. A. Downs, OF the Central OF Geor-
gia Railway Company, in an interest
ing statement discussing freight rates
on farm products. Mr. Downs asserts
that the interests OF the farmers and
the railways are mutual. pointing out
that agriculture furnishes much trat-
fic to the railways and that railway
facilities have opened the markets OF
the world to the farmer.
The railway executive points out
that farm conditions are steadily i'm
proving and that in the past two years
the value of farm products has inCreas-
ed two and hall billion dollars, He
quotes from the Interstate Commerce
Commission to prove that the present
level of freight rates does not inter-
tere with the free movement OF farm
products, and says that the law of sup
ply and demand and not freight rates
controls the market price of farm
products. He says further that freight
rates are but minor factor in the
farmers bill of costs and that they are
not out of proportion to other rates.
He says that the railways are in no
condition to withstand reduction in
revenue because in 1924 they earned
but 4.3 per cent on the value of their
property devoted to transportation. He
cites numerous instances OF general
and specific rate reduction on products
OF the farm, and says the farmer
needs service from the railways. He
can afford to pay reasonable rates that
will permit them to supply him with
transportation. He cannot afford to
endorse Gripping policy OF rate re-
duction that will prevent the carriers
from giving him dependable service"

MORE MILK COWS ARE ON
THE FARMS OF GEORGIA
Increase in Poultry, Work Stock and
Dairy Cattle. Others Decrease.

An increase in number OF milk cows
and work stock and decrease i'll
swine and cattle, other than milk cows,
are principal points of interest shown
in the report on the number OF live
stock on farms, as released through
the Georgia COOPERATIVE Reporting
Service.
Because Of considerable improve
ment in farm financial conditions, due
principally to the greater cotton crop
OF last season, farmers are somewhat
enabled to replenish the depleted ranks
OF work stock This is indicated in a
Slight increase in numbers over work
stock on farms January lst of last
year. The increase will likely be con-
siderably greater just before opening
OF the work season, as many farmers,
because Of feed shortage, are waiting
as late as possible to purchase new
stock. This increase will be principal
" in mules, rather than horses, the
former being better suited to farm
ing needs.
Milk cows are reported greater in
y
has been gradually increasing since
the census year, owing to the need
OF an extra source OF ready cash in
come to the hard pressed cotton grow
er. This statement may also be made
concerning poultry, and both the COW
and hen have been an able assistance
in this respect. Poultry is shown at
practically last years figure,
Other cattle and swine show con-
siderable decrease in number compar-
ed with last year, due to shortage OF
feed and increasing interest in cotton
production.
The number and value of different
classes OF live stock on farms OF the

Horses, 10000; $7296.000.

SAYS BOIL WEEvIL
WILL BE CONTROLLED
NOT ENOUGH ARSENATE, AND
FINAL ROUT OF PEST IS
STILL PROBLEMATICAL.

Dr. Crocker, an agricultural SCENT
list in the employ OF the government,
has this to say about the cotton boil
weevil
The cotton boil weevil is the
worst pest the American agricultural
ist ever had to combat Since it cross
ed the Rio Grande from Mexico in
1890 it has spread through the cotton
fields OF the south like gossip through
a village.
But the scientist has partly sue
ceeded, even with the bo1Y weevil. He
has found one way to meet the prob
lem, though it is perhaps not the best
solution or the final one. The weevi
is bug which bores its way into the
buds OF the cotton plant and by its
devoted attentions prevents them from
developing. The men who set out up
on its trail naturally turned to arsenic
as a suitable poison for curbing its
activities, and soon found that it would
kill the weevil if eaten. Their only
difficulty was that the weevil wouldn't
eat the arsenic!
so they studied its habits B. R.
Coad, of the federal bureau of ento-
mology, put the weevil in a cage and
studied it for two years. Then he
found the crevice in its armor.
The boil weevil drinks lot OF wa
ter 1t drinks dew, and drinks rain
water, when it can get it. So Coad
tried the plan of putting the arsenic
in the form OF calcium arsenate-on
the cotton plant when it was wet with
dew The weevi took its drink as us
ual curled up and died-4just as surely
as though it were wood alcohol.
1T is quite task to cover with
the poisonous dust all the endangered
plants on the thirty-two million acres
OF cotton plants The work is best
done at night, when the dew is on the
plants, and night work is VIGOROUSLY
hard to get done, The calcium arsen-
ate must be put on by machine, which
throw out a cloud OF impalpable dust
to settle on every bud and boil. 1t
costs money, therefore, and a great
deal of the cotton is grown by small
planters, who find it hard to invest in
new machinery, in chemicals and in
added labor.
Besides, there isn't enough OF the
poison powder produced in the United
States to go around. 1t requires about
twenty pounds OF calcium arsenate
per acre. Ii one-third, say, OF the total
acreage should come to be treated
each year for the pest it would de-
mand 100000 tons OF the chemical to
l. ~. -, A IL, lnc
than 10000 tons year is available Tor
this purpose. So that the final route
of the boil weevil is still problematical
But science has done something in
finding the way to poison the pest. 1t
will probably discover a more practi-
cable way before it is through, and
one that the planter OF modest means
can afford"

FEED LAUGHING CACTUS
SEED TO THEIR ENEMIES

A naturalist Just returned from
Arabia tells OF a plant known
among the natives as the laugh
ing cactus" The plant gets its
name from the fact that any one
eating its seed gives way for some
minutes afterward to immoderate
laughter, frequently ending in ner-
vous prostration. Residents OF the
community in which the plant is
found grind the seed from the cac-
tus into powder and feed it to their
enemies. An overdose, it is said,
may result in a temporary loss OF
reason, following which the victim
falls into a deep sleep.
