Washington, D. c., Aug. 26.-In a
statement issued today by the Comp
troller of the Currency, regarding the
condition of the national banks of the
United States, the South and the cot
ton situation are discussed in detail.
The statement says:
In view of the large demands which
the national banks of this country
may. in the not distant future, be re-
quired to meet in supplying the sea-
sonal and ordinary as well as the ex-
traordinary calls ahead of them, a
brief statement concerning the pres
ent conditions and resources of our
national banks and of the Federal Re-
serve Banks will be instructive, and
will prove distinctly reassuring.
The special requirements above re-
ferred to are:
First. The yearly recurring de
mand for funds with which to move
the crops, which this year, except as
to cotton, are unusually large and
commanding full price.
Second. The unusual calls for funds
which may arise to enable cotton
growers to meet any congestion in the
movement or marketing of the crop,
in the event that cotton should be de-
clared contraband

(By Associated PreSS.)


Berlin, Aug. 26.-The Associat-
ed Press is in position to state
on the best authority today that
the Arabic incident may be con-
sidered eliminated as a source of
discord between Germany and the
United States.
At least Germany considers it
in that light.
Germany, in its extreme desire
to continue friendly relations with
the United States, had adopted a
policy before the sinking of the
Arabic which was designed to set
tie the whole submarine problem
as affecting the United States on
the basis of a mutual understand
ing.
Cermanys attitude on the Ara
bic case is shown by d statement
by Chancellor Won Bethmann-
HolIWeg, given to the Associated
Press. The Chancellor referred to
the instructions given the subma-
rine commanders which he said
were designed to prevent a repeti-
ton of the Lusitania case, and to
provide an opportunity for Ameri-
can non-combatants on torpedo
ships to escape.

GOOD RATIONS FOR
EWES WITH LAMBS
Glover Hay Is Better Than Tim
othy-MouIdy or Sour Corn
Silage Is Dangerous.

by HOWARD HACKEDORN. Missouri
Experiment Station)
Glover hay and grain Is better
ration for breeding ewes than timothy
hay and grain.
Glover hay alone will maintain preg-
nant breeding ewes up to lambing
time After lambing, the addition Of
grain is advisable.
Corn silage when fed with clover
hay, with grain. and with both clover
hay and grain is slightly better rough
age than corn slower fed with the
same combination of grain and clover
hay.
Mofdy or extremely sour corn silage
is dangerous feed for sheep. Eleven
ewes were lost in one week from ac-
cidentally feeding moldy silage.
A ration of corn silage, clover hay
and grain is the most efficient way Of
utilizing silage.
Feeding corn stover, clover hay and
grain is the most satisfactory method
OF utilizing slower.
Corn silage and stover are better
roughages than timothy hay when fed
with grain.
