Heavy Sales at Rocky Mount.

Rocky Mount, Aug. 2S.-Ye Yesterday
closed the second week Of sales on the
local tobacco market. Sales to date
consisted almost entirely Of first
primings, and amounted to about 30O,-
600 pounds at an average Of about 9
cents per pound, which is considered
an excellent average for primings un-
der the existing circumstances.
The grade of tobacco is very good,
and through much that is common
is showing up in the offerings, yet the
primings as a whole, indicate more
than an average crop as to quality,
while the yield promises to be very
satisfactory.
The independent buyers seem to be
especially active and the market pre-
sents an animated scene, showing a
better feeling than obtained at the
opening of the season last year

Bermuda grass makes good hay
when cut sufficiently early. Its repu.
tation has suffered somewhat by an
inferior quality OF overripe hay that
has been put on the market. Two crops
can ordinarily be cut each year. While
the yields are small on poor land, a
rich, moist soil will produce several
tons per acre year. With both pas
lures and meadows the sod should be
plowed once every few years on &C
count of the tendency of this grass to
become sod-bound.
Bermuda is also the common lawn
grass in the cotton states. A still fur

Bermuda Grass az q Weed.
To control Bermuda grass on farm
land is a rather difficult matter. Grow.
ing smother crops, such as cowpeas
soy beans, millet and sorghum has
been advocated. This method is sue
cessful only under favorable condi'
tons Where the soil Is productive
enough to produce a thick stand and
vigorous growth of these crops, they
may be depended upon practically tc
rid field of the pest in several years
time. Most farmers, however, will
have to rely upon clean cultivation
This method may be followed eithel
with or without a cultivated croI
growing on the land. The best plar
usually is to put the land to grass fol
a year or more, either as pasture o.
meadow. When the sod has become
more or less root-bound it is in a sus
ceptible condition. Pillow shallow il
midsummer, Just deep enough to ge
under the sod. After that the lant
should be disked during the rest of thu
season at intervals frequent enough
to prevent top growth. By being thus
kept at the surface Of the soil during
the hot weather of summer the SOC
soon dries out and dies. The fire.

top or green growth, finally starve!
out the rootstocks that were not turned
by the pillow. If the work is thorough
ly done, all of the Bermuda will bt

season. 1t is advisable, however, tt
put in cultivated crop the following
year to locate and destroy any wire
grass plants that may persist.

 HIGH COST OF WARRING

Amsterdam. Aug 2S-The Berlin YorWaerts in discussing the new Ger man war loan directs attention to what it charaeterizes as the alarming must face at the conclusion of the war.
 After the war; says the Vor- waerts," the Imperial debt and pen sions alone will demand an annual expenditure of at least two. and a half billion marks ($625, 900. .0o0). or 2. little less than the united ordinary and extraordinary Imperial expendi- ture of 1912. In other words, the in- come of the empire hitherto will only suffice to pay the interest on the na- tfonaI def9, for all other expenses new sources of taxation must be created.
