coast where the moisture is constant
no better winter pasture grass is
known. In North Carolina it is listed
as superior to orchard grass in the
quantity Of forage produced. Its
ability to succeed in regions subject
to periods OF excessive drought arises
from the fact that the seeds fall early
In the spring and lie dormant during
the hot summer, terminating in the
autumn on the approach Of cool
weather and fall rains. In feeding
value rescue grass ranks among the
best hay grasses, containing a higher
percentage of protein than either rye
or oat hay and but little less than
Bromus inermis. It is as a pasture
grass. however, that it excels. It pro-
duces large quantity Of very succu-
lent leaves, which are renewed rap.
idly after being grazed of. 1t can be
mixed with bur clover. crimson clio.
yer. or winter vetch to good advan.
tage. BY sowing rescue grass in Ber-
muda grass sod a continuous pasture
can be secured throughout the year.
When plowed under in the spring it
Is equal to winter rye or oats as a
fertilizer.
Culture.-The seed Of rescue grass
resembles that Of the common oat
except that it is lighter, weighing only
IA pounds to the bushel, but its size
makes 1t necessary to cover it more
deeply than ordinary grass seed. Sow
on carefully prepared land in Septem.
Der or the first Of October in the
Southern States, and if the weather
conditions are favorable it will come
up rapidly in November, and one
crop can be cut the last of December
or the first Of January; the second, in
March. This will give the third
growth sufficient time to produce a
seed crop, which can be plowed under
and the land sown in cowpeas or any
summer crop which can be removed
sufficiently early in the autumn to
allow the grass seed which has lain
dormant during the summer to germiL
nate In October. Thus the volunteer
seeding will make the grass practical
ly perennial. Handled with equal
care on good loamy soil it will give
better winter pasture than either
oats or rye and will yield even more
abundantly than orchard grass. On
poor soil. however, the yield is light
and the use Of vetch or of crimson
or bur clover is preferable for hay
purposes. Rescue grass does not sue
ceed we'll on heavy clay soil in Texas,
but on light loamy soil it is certainly
the best grass for winter pasture
Sorghum, cowpeas or velvet beans
may be used to follow it as a summer
crop. In the Northern States it may
be sown either in the spring or au-
tumn. Usually 1t Is more satisfactory
10 SOW DrOa0caSt, as the seed Is toe
chaffy to feed through a common
drill. Thirty pounds Of seed pei
acre on suitably prepared soils is the
required amount Seed may be pur.

but it Is no doubt capable Of a much
wider use as a winter pasture gras.

washington, May 31.-To those
who gave close attention to the pro-
gress OF events in Senate during tha
hlibuster. which marked the closing
day Of the recent session, the charge.
In the Interpretation Of the Senate
rules was considered Of far greater
import than the filibuster itself.
Senator Burkett who gave close at
tention to the parliamentary tactics
employed by the majority to bring the
obstruction to an end, thus summarize
ed today the changes which were ac-
complished between IL O'Clock, mid
night. and day light yesterday morn
ing:
First. The Vice President an
nounced that it was within the pro-.
vince Of the Chair to court a quorum.
and that he would not order a \rolH-
call If quorum was actually present.
Second. The Senate by vote upon--
a point Of order submitted to it by the,
Vice President, determined that the
question Of the quorum could not be-,
raised until after intervening BUSH
ness, if the previous roll call had
disclosed a quorum present. and that
de bate was not such intervening
business.
Third. A rule Of the Senate.
which in practice has always laid dor
mant, was invoked, prohibiting a Sem
ator from addressing the Senate up
on any question more than twice in
any one day.
The result Of these three interpre-
tations of the rules makes it absolute
ly impossible to prolong a debate in
definitely sand thus makes a fiilibuster
impossible where the end of the ses-
sion is indeterminate for they give no
opportunity for intermission by a
speaker except by yielding the floor.
and after two such Weddings of the
floor, under the rule, he will not be
permitted to speak further on that
day.
BY refusing to adjourn, and thus
continuing the same day until the
legislation shall be enacted, it is only
matter Of time until any filibuster-
ing contingent can be successfully
worn out.
Commenting on the effect Of these
changes Mr.. Burkett said:
''The present Senate filibuster has
been productive OF the greatest evo-
luton in facilitating legislation since
the days Of the 51st Congress. when
Speaker Thomas B. Reed announced
In the House that gentlemen in their
seats could be seen as well as heard.
That announcement was the result Of
a filibuster. and until Reeds decis-
on 1t was possibility for the mino-
rity to compel the majority to have
enough Of their members present all
the time to equal a quorum Of the
House. But Reed declared that X O.
man was present he was present.
whether he was willing to admit It
or not, and thereupon he directed the
clerk to count the members present
he saw as well as those he heard.
when the conference report on the.
currency bill came up for considers
ton some Senators undertook to fili--
buster against it by securing the fioor.-
and thus preventing it coming to q.
vote. Senator La Toilette led OF and,
Of course. used every technicality OK
the rule to consume time. He raised
the question Of no quorum thirty-six
times within q few hours, which.
necessitated the calling Of the rolI-
each time. II permitted to go on un--
hindered it might have been continu--
ed indefinitely" I
