Justice for the Farmer
With prospect? for a larger
crop than usual, us far as tlio
whole country is ooiiooruoil. it
should bo gratifying to the farm
ers to know the present treasury
lopii it iiient is alive to the ne
cessity of ample money for crop
moving purposes Mini further
more has nerve enough to act
ami act decisively when there is
any need of action.
Here is a recent statement
from Secretary McAdoo:
"The new federal reserve
hanks should he in operation in
time to materially help the crop
movement. Whether they are
or not the treasury is ready and
can extend all the aid that may
ho needed. The financial con
dition of the country is so ex
ceptionally sound now and
money is so easy that no con
cern whatever need he felt ahout
the immediate future You have
not heard this year, for the lirst
time in many years,' anything
ahout tight money this fall or
any expressed fear of inability
to handle the big crops that are
in prospect.
"The federal reserve banks
will be ready for business much
sooner than expected. An im
mense amount of work has been
done that does not appear on the
surface. When the federal re
serve board organizes it will find
comprehensive information, col
lected and prepared by the Re
serve Bank Organization- Com
mittee, and reports made by a
committee of experts, composed
of H. Parker Willis, chairman;
Edmund D. Fisher, Andrew A.
Benton, A. Howard Wolfe, Jo
seph A. Broderick, Ralph Daw
son and Stephen H. Famham
of New York, on a system of tini
form accounting, clearing house
functions, commercial paper, etc.
Also briefs from important clear
ing houses and commercial
bodies on the definition of com
mercial paper. The reserve
board will be able to get down
to business quickly and expe
dite the final steps in the organi
zation of the banks."
Every intelligent farmer
knows the meaning of ample
money at crop moving time. It
means just prices to the grower.
A tight money market always
means forced sales whether pri
ces are right or not, and the
farmer loses a considerable
margin of 'profit which is ab
sorbed by the men who handle
the crops after they have left
first hands.
Secretary McAdoo seems to
have the notion that the farmer
is the man who should obtain
the profits in the farming busi
ness and he is right about it.

LIGHT OF THE SUN
In Its Pjre State We on the Earth
Mave Never Seen It.
SOME RAYS DO NOT REACH US.
If They Did They Would Probably De
stroy Life as It Exists on Our Planet.
Daylight and Sunlight Differ Almost
as Much as Do Wine and Water.
"As clear as daylight" expresses In
ordinary language a maximum of plain
ness and obviousness. Nevertheless
daylight is one ot the most complicat
ed Hud capriciously variable of all nat
ural phenomena.
Almost everybody you meet will tell
you that daylight and sunlight are dif
ferent names tor the same thing. They
think they know that much of astron
omy anyway. But astronomy does not
teach anything of the kind. Astronomy
simply tells us that the sun Is the pri
mary cause or source of daylight, but
it does not say that daylight und sun
light are Identical. In fact, they dif
fer almost as much as do water and
wine.
But the degree of difference varies.
Daylight Is a mixture of two kinds of
light, and Its quality is continually
elianuliiij, us cvcr,vlunl,v who tins evei
hud mo tlilnu in do wllli hitKi'!ih,Y
knows. The pl'opiirtluus of the two
kinds of Unlit (hut tank diiyiluht lire
not I In- same from lumr to hour iiml
bttrdly from minute in minute
In clear wenllicr, muter an open sky,
wllh tlio sun hint! In the he.avciis. day
light, says I'rolessor Mchols of Cor
nell. Is almost entirely sunlight A
white niii Hire epoNnl to an unolisrur
ed sky receives Olivet ly from the sun
IO per cent ot the llhl Hint Illuminates
It uud only l.'i per cent from other
parts of the sky dome
This other part ot the Illumination
Is culled skylight, uud It consist of
lllit. nearly nil of which mine orltf
liinlly trotii I lie Mini, but which tins
been changed III quality by relleetlon
from the einili. from ihe i louds anil
from dust nnd vuvor In the air. Many
of the my that chametcrUed the orlg
lunl sunlight tut ve been absorbed by
the rellertlug substances, so (lint what
remain Is no longer I lie same thing
as before
On a completely ovenim day there
Is no siiuliglu. properly so culled, but
only skylight. Whether the sky Is
overcast or not the intensity of day
light varies with the hour of the day
ifml with the season. This Is due to
differences In ihe elevation of the sun.
These variations in the intensity of
daylight are surprisingly great. The
Intensity Is on the average ten times
as great In midsummer as In uildwin
ter, but this averime comes fur from
expressing Ihe utmost difference that
ciiii exist, for Investigation has shown
that between the clearest iiinnier day
mid the darkest day or winter the ra
tlo of the Intensity or daylight may he
as great as :iiin to I.
Hesldes. the ipiallty or daylight Is
continually changing on account or the
variations In the relative amount or
the different rays of the spectrum that
are mingled In It. The spectrum of
light Is a gMiuur of vibrations, and the
result of the selective action exercised
by the substances and vapors, from
which the light has been rellected and
through which It has passed Is to pro
duce variations of color anil of Intensi
ty of color, as well as of the iUaiitlt.v
of Invisible radiations present, and
these variations are not the less real
and Important because the eye is not
always fully aware of them.
As to pure sunlight, we never see It
on the earth The light that arrives to
us from the sun has neither the color
nor the Intensity that It possesses be
fore It enters Ihe atmosphere. The
ultraviolet rays especially are almost
completely screemsl olt by the attnos
phere. and If they reached us In their
full force it Is probable that life as
now orciinl.ed on this planet would be
destroyed by them.
Kvery different world has its own
daylight, although all may be Illumi
nated by the same sun. Not only does
relative distance affect the Intensity of
daylight on different planets, but the
constitution of their various atmos
pheres, has an equally great effect.
Venus has n daylight twice as intense
as ours: Mars one half as intense. On
Jupiter the Intensify Is l-.Ti of that on
tlie earth: on SHtnrn. MM; on Nep
tune. I min.
But each or these planets has an at
mosphere peculiar to Itseir. and thus
the differences of daylight upon them
are made still inure remarkable. This
Is one of the first things to be taken
into aecoiiur in all speculations about
the habitahillty of those other worlds.
