h The gravity of the locust danger to crops in Natal can be judged by the fact that one farmer reported that he had the previous day seen & swarm 30 miles long flying over the countryside. | Dr. Viljoen declared that the Govâ€" ernment would use more airplanes in its war against the pest and would hunt down the breeding placâ€" €3. Dr. Viljoen said that the Agricultuâ€" ral Department had experimented on a large scale with airplanes, and locusts, after they had settled, could be destroyed effectively by this means, and with very little danger if properly controlled. They could do as much with one airplane in half an hour as could be done by 20 men in 10 days. Locusts are one of the biggest menaces that South Aftican farmers have to face. A swarm of them can destroy a flourishing crop in an hour. More than £500,000 has been spent by the South African Government on its war against locusts in three months, it was announced by Dr. J. Viljoen, Secretary of Agriculture at an antiâ€"locust conference here, atâ€" tended by prominent members of‘ Parliament and Natal farmers. in using airplanes against locust atâ€" tacks is reported from South Africa and more machines are to be mobilâ€" ized against this pest.

A.â€"The original rate was 5 per cent. Congress concludtd that was pretty high, so it authorized the Treasury to figure accrued interâ€" est at 4‘%4 per cent., the same as on our Liberty bonds. That cancelled part of the back interest. Later, when funding agreements were made with the different nations owing money to us, interest was figured at a lower rate still. Great Britain‘s average interest over sixtyâ€"two years is 3.3 per cent., so in the case of the British debt the United States canceled the difference between 5 per cent. and 3.3 per cent.
