WASHINGTON, June 1.-Facing

tory rejoinder to President Wilson's
submarine warfare protest note, to-
days cabinet meeting was expected
to be one OF the most important in
two decades. 1t was certain before

in rough outline the new note to
Germany. it will be withheld, and its
contents closely guarded until after
tomorrow's conference between the
president and Count Won Bernstorff
the German ambassador The confer:
ence was asked for by the ambassador.
State department officials who ar.
ranged it, said they did not know
what the envoy wanted. At the en-
bassy 1t was stated he hoped to be
able to discuss with the president
Germany's latest note to the United
States. and find out, if possible, what
further action" the president planned.
The German officials would not dis.
cuss the report. however, that the am
bassador had been instructed by the
German government to emphasize the
professions of friendship contained in
the latest communication and to as
sure the president that the last thing
Germany desired was any interruption
of her present friendly relations with
the United States.
In the absence OF any official state
ments, President Wilson having or
dered his confidential advisors not to
complicate matters by talking, NUM-
erous rumors were in circulation. One
of the most heard is that Germany
had sent word to her ambassador TO
explain that she was willing to make
material concessions to the Unitea
States but that it had been necessary
to make the irst note evasiye and UNI

WEEKLY LETTER OF CON-
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE
Bureau of Mines Manufacturers, and Agriculture, Little Rock. Ark. Been Much Interest Aroused
 in Sudan Grass.

There has been much interest aroused in Sudan Grass and a great many farmers in all parts of the state are preparing to experiment with this new grass. There is but one objec- tion to the Sudan Grass, so far as 1 know and that is the striking similar ity of the grass to Johnson Grass and the close resemblance of the seeds to the Johnson Grass seed.
 If you pay the Sudan Grass without some sort of guarantee as to it's purity you may run the risk of getting some Johnson Grass on your farm and in many cases it would indeed prove pest. Sudan is a splendid yielder, a very hardy grass, and is as good hay as timothy or Johnson grass hay and is relished by stock. If an experiment is to be tried, l would advise only a small acreage and then save the seed carefully if you find that they are pure and free from Johnson Grass. A small patch of Johnson Grass would be more easily killed out and for that reason there is a possibility that small patch or acreage would be more desirable.
 A number of our farmers in var ious parts of the State have become intensly interested in the culture of new perishabe crops and are plann- ing to put in large crops like onions and cabbage. They are good crops but it is not best to undertake too much and depend too much on such crops the first year. l would advise a variety of such crops and smaller acreages of each and not be forced to depend on any single crop for reve nue. The second year will be entire ly different and you will know to a certainty almost howm uch you can cultivate and about how much you will realize from that crop under av- craze conditions. When you become familiar with the markets and the manner of disposing of these crops which are new to you so far as the growing of them in a commercial way is concerned.
 Make you plans to grow increased garden crops and now is the time to secure the seed. Garden seed are comparatively cheap and every man should have enough in his garden to insure plenty for the table use and then quantities to can at home for use next winter or for sale if there is more than enough for home con sumption. The Girls Canning Clubs have taught us a lesson along this line and we should be proud to profit by their good example. One young lady netted $12000 on one tenth of an acre last year and there is no reason why the older folks cannot make at least one half that much with the ordinary attention. Enough can be raised, canned, put up and sold out of the

REPRESENTATIVE DOWDY WILL INl-
 TATE MEASURE
Vainly Attempts to Pass Measure Providing for Fiscal Board to Control and Have Supervi-
 siOn of Financial Affairs

Little Rock, Feb. 23.-Representa- tive Dowdy has announced that he will initiate the bill which he has vain ly attempted to pass during the pre- sent session, providing for fiscal board, to control and have supervision of, the financial affairs of the various officers and departments of State. It has been before the house in two diff ferent forms. The first was over whelmingly defeated and the second was yesterday referred, after a con- siderable debate, to the committee on ways and means. This declared the author of the bill, means the "chloro- forming of the measure" He said that he would give the people an op- portunity to vote on the bill at the next general election and see wheth- CT or not they want the proposed changes made in the manner of con- ducting the business of the State In stitutions.
 In sarcastic speech on the floor. deploring the defeat of his bill, and opposing the Rorex bill for creation of the office of State accountant, Mr Dowdy condemned what he called the unwarranted interference of the Gov ernor in matters of legislation. He said the Rorex bill was written by the Governor and was a part of his pro- 4p Nf ho fos of State. The Governor was defended by MT. Condray, MT. Brawner and others, who asserted that they consid- cred the Rorex bill a good measure, it made no difference where it origi- mated. The bill was defeated how ever, by vote of 38 to 50. It would have created the office of State ac- countant to be filled by appointment of the Governor for a period of six years at a salary of $3,000 per year and expenses. Among the arguments advanced against the bill by it's op- ponents was that it creates another office at a heavy expense to the state which would no have been of sufficient benefit to compensate for the cost; also that it gives the Governor too much power in the appointment of state officials. The friends of the measure contended that it would pro- vide check upon the expenditure ot public money by the various de- partments and would render unneces- sary the employment of special audi tors such as are now being employed at an expense of $10 day each for the purpose of checking up the de partments and institutions.
