TEXT OF CORRESPON-
DENCE MADE PUBLIC
Between United States and Great Britain
and Germany, and Latter's
Reply.

London, March "a dispatch to keu-
ter's Telegram Co. from Amsterdam gives
the contents of the American note oil
Feb. % to Great Britain and Germany
and Germany's reply thereto. The notes
were received in Amsterdam in dis
patch from Berlin.
The American note expresses the nope
that Great Britain and Germany may, by
means of reciprocal concessions, discover
a basis of understanding the result OF
which would tend to free ships engaged
in neutral and peaceful commerce from
the serious dangers to which they are ex-
posed in passing through the coastal wa
ters of the belhgarent countries.
This suggestion, the note proceeds to
say. should not be considered as pro-
posal by the American government,
whom it naturally does not behooVe TO
propose conditions for such an agree
ment, though the question at issue mas
a direct and far-reaching interest Tor the
government and people OF the United
States.
The note says the United States ven
tures solely TO take liberty which 1t Is
convinced can be conceded to a sincere
friend who is aetuated by a desire TO
cause inconvenience to neither OF the
two nations and possibly serve the com.
mon interests of humanity.
The suggestion is made that Germany
and Great Britain should agree, first,
that isolated drifting mines should be
laid by neither party, that anchored
mines should be laid exclusively for de-
fensive purposes, within gun range OF
harbors and that all mines should bear
the mark Of the government. OF origin
and be so constructed as to become harm
less after breaking loose from their an
chorage.
1t is suggested, second, that the sub
marines of neither of the two govern
ments should be employed to attack mer-
chant vessels of any nationality, except
for the purpose of carrying out the right
Of holding them up and searching themi
and. third, that mercantile ships OF Meth.
er of the parties should employ neutral
flags as a war ruse as for the purpose OF
concealing their identity.
Great Britain, it is suggested, should
agree that foodstuffs shall not be placed
on the list of absolute contraband and
that the British authorities shall neither
disturb nor hold up caTgoes of such goods
when addressed TO agencies in Germany,
the names OF which are communicated by
the United States government, for the
purpose of receiving such goods and
handing them over to licensed German
retailers for further distribution eNciu-
sively to the civil population
Germany, it is contended, should de-
clare her agreement that foodstutFs from
the United States or any other neutral
country, shall be addressed to such agen-
cies.
Finally, the American government says
it wishes to safeguard itself against the
idea that il either acknowledges or re-
pudiates any right on the part OF the
belligerents or neutrals established on
the principles OF international law. The
American government would rather re-
gard such an agreement as a modus Vi.
yendi which is based more on suitable
ness than on legal right.

The German Reply.

The German reply TO the note OF the
United States was dispatched last sun
day. 1t begins as followsi
"The German government has taken
note OF the American suggestion with
lively interest and sees therein new proof
OF friendly feelings, which are fully recip-
rocated BY Germany. The suggestion
corresponds also 20 the German wish
that the naval war should be waged ac-
cording TO rules which without subject

TURNING THE COVER CROP
(By J. G McAmis, Division of Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee.)


(By ]. G. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Do not allow the winter, crop to be-
come too far advanced in growth be-
fore turning it under The tendency
has been in that direction in the past,
! hope Of getting the largest pos
amount of vegetable matter into
t soil.
llp soil may not receive as much
Il ,tter by turning a little earlier, but
at which it does receive will be in
s ch condition that 1t will decay and
take effect Immediately, because all
plants must decay before they are of
much use to the soil.
II crops are too big and woody be-
fore they are turned, they not only
do not produce beneficial effect as
Quickly as is often expected but they
may even be injurious to the following
crops, especially in dry seasons on
thin shallow land
In their growth they have taken up
great deal of the soils available
plant food 1t is given UP to the next
crop only after decaying, which, takes
place very slowly in more matured
plants.
Besides. if they are turned under in
a mass, they remain between the top
soil and subsoil and prevent the rise
of water from below. Water comes up
in dry seasons and goes into the soil
In wet ones.
To insure the highest returns from
the winter cover crop it must be cut
up with a sharp disc previous to break
ing, and 1t must be turned before there
is much woody material in it.
Ordinarily, when a'summer crop is
TO follow, it is 6est to turn the grain
crops just before they head out, and
crimson clover when it has begun to
bloom well.

HURRY THE SPRAYING
FOR SAN JOSE SCALE

(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
The month Of March is the most fa-
vorable time for Killing San jose scale,
but the work of spraying must be done
before the fruit blossoms open, as the
concentrated lime-sulphur solution,
which Is the best scale remedy, is so
strong that it will kill the bloom. 1t
can be used with perfect safety even
when the peach buds are pink, pro.
vided the flowers are not open.
Spray thoroughly. To reach every
part of the tree, 1t is best to prune
well before. spraying, being especially
careful to head back the small limbs
that project beyond the general aver
age of the crown.
II the trees are badly infested with
scale, they should be "dehorned," or
cut back very severely Peach trees
may be headed back by cutting off
branches three inches or more in di-
ameter
Keep the nozzle moving, reach
every part of the tree. The only scale
insects that are killed are the ones
that are touched by the spray--their
food can not be poisoned. Spray until
the solution begins to drip from the
limbs.
Before beginning the work put on
old clothes, cover the face and neck
with vaseline, wear goggles to protect
the eyes, and gloves soaked in oil to
protect the hands. Cover the horses
with burlap.

SHALL We Build
CREAMERIES !?
Tennessee Farmers Should
Beware of the Cream
cry Promoter
DAIRY BUSINESS LUCRATIVE
Many Farmers Are Turning Their At
tention to the Dairy Cow as a
Source Of Ready Income and Soil
Improvement.

(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
Tennessee farmers are learning
more and more the necessity of di-
versified farming and the keeping of
more live stock on their farms. a
great many are turning their attention
to the dairy COW as source of ready
income and means of soil improve
ment.
The general interest in dairying has
caused widespread interest in the
building of creameries over the state.
Especially Is this true in West Tennes-
see, where the depressed cotton mar
kets are causing farmers to look for
something besides cotton for source
of income. The prevailing idea in
great many communities, If few
farmers should decide to get into the
dairy business, Is that they should
build creamery. While well-man-
aged, successful creamery does afford
an excellent market for cream, yet
many dairymen in this state have bet
ter markets afforded them by city milk
plants and in cream plants, than most
creameries can ever hope to afford.
The most essential requirement for
successful creamery is sufficient
supply of cream. The product from at
least four hundred cows should be
available, and they should be located
within a radius of not more than ten
miles of the creamery, or shipping
point. In some communities the roads
are in such poor condition that it is
not practical to deliver cream during
the winter.
A great amount OF excitement has
been created over the state by the
professional creamery promoter, whose
sole object is to sell creamery outfit.
These promoters get the confidence OF
the farmers and usually succeed in
selling a plant at about two prices.
They have operated in all parts of the
state, and we have number. Of ex-
amples of creameries that have failed
as result of their work. In Greene
county alone they built four cream
cries few years ago and not one Of
the plants was ever operated success
fully.
Any community considering the
building of a creamery should first get
In touch with the State Agricultural
College rather than listen to the glow
ing stories of the creamery promoter,
who is always working for a selfish
interest.

BUYING The BEEF BULL
A QUESTION OF TYPE
(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-

(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The buying of beef bull is not
nearly so much a question of breed
as of type. Whether an animal has a
good top line and good underline,
with plenty of width and depth and a
good quarter is of much more import
ance than whether he is a Shorthorn,
a Hereford or an Angus. 1t is very i'm
portant in any case that he be of pure
breeding and comes of line of good
producers. A bull of scrub parentage
might be first-class individual in
every respect, but we should hardly
expect him to transmit his excellent
qualities, because he did not inherit
them honestly. His offspring will al
most invariably give him away. We
can never Judge an animal except by
his offspring, but our best guarantee
lies in good pedigree. A good pedi-
gree is one in which the immediate
ancestors are animals of Importance.
Farther back than six generations the
influence is practically nothing.
AS we become better acquainted
with the different breeds we find that
neither of them has any particular ad-
vantages over the other A great
many people change from one breed
to another because of desire to
have something different, and more
frequently than otherwise, to have
changed was a mistake, especially IL
the change meant the introduction of
breed entirely new to a community
which had up to the time favored a
single breed. A man introducing and
trying to popularize new breed is
at serious disadvantage because he
generally has but few animals to
work with and he finds no ready sale
for the surplus stock he may wish to
dispose of. 1t is much better business
to select the breed the community ia
vors.
Select an animal OF good proper
tions, low down, blocky, straight top
and underline, with plenty of depth
and width; good width Of chest,
strength in heart girth, low down in
flank, and well developed quarters,
with just as little head and neck and
legs as possible.

TO GET BETTER
LIVE STOCK
Is the Most Important Ques-
Before the Tennessee
Farmers Today
COOPERATION is NECESSARY
Community Bull Suggested as the
Best Method of Improving Live
steek-G:cass Opportunity for i'm
provement.

(By R. M Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
Everybody is talking better. live
stock, but after all the talking is over
it is not much clearer to the average
farmer how he is to get any better live
tx than it was before. He is con
need that he needs better live stock,
but hundred-dollar bull costs just as
much as it formerly did 1t is not
economical for a single farmer in a
community to buy high-priced bull
to use in the Improvement of his own
herd of perhaps half dozen animals,
and when such an individual happens
to become inspired with sufficient am
bition to make purchase, his efforts
are rarely backed up by the enthus-
asm and appreciation of his neighbors,
and the valuable animal, after a very
meager service extending through the
space of about three years, generally
is sent away to be slaughtered even
before his true value is known.
The only economical solution of this
difficulty is TO be found in the pur-
chase of community bull, in which
the entire farming community will be
interested, and to which all of the
breeding animals of the community
will have access. This makes possible
the owning of a first.class bull at but
a very small cost to any Individual
and 1t also gives the bull a much
greater field of usefulness. The
average pure-bred bull owned by an
individual in community is rarely
we'll enough patrenized to justify his
maintenance; mainly because there is
not the community interest back of
him. On the other hand, the bull in
which the whole community is inter
ested is given an opportunity to i'm
prove Immediately the type of cattle
owned, granting that he is the indiyid-
ual he ought TO be. The first crop OF
calves following his appearance in the
community will carry fifty per cent of
his blood. One community is recalled
into which a Poll Durham bull was in
troduced a few years ago The first
year he was not SO strongly favored,
but just as soon as his first crop of
calves began showing their superiority,
which was evident, he became very
popular, and since that time has not
lacked appreciation, and to-day the
entire beef cattle population of the
community reflects his influence.
The buying of one thoroughly first
class bull in community CT the breed
that the community likes best will
mean more Of the immediate improve
meat of the cattle Of the community,
at LEGS expense, and will stimulate
greater interest in better live stock
than any other one thing.
