Buying of British Treasury Bills
from New York a
Feature.

London, July 20.-Money was in good
demand to-day, and discount rates were
inclined to ease off in sympathy with
the American situation. Small amounts
of three months bills are being bought
here for New York account.
The loss of gold TO an unknown des-
tination, reported in the weekly bank
return, caused some comment when
read in conjunction with the statement
of the increased daily cost of the war.
Dealers on the Stock Exchange were
relieved to find their fears of an in
crease in the bank rate groundless, and
the tone OF the market was quite good.
Large repurchases occurred in Indian,
and British corporation
stocks and the war loan at hardening
prices. Shipping and oil shares were
also active. American securities were
quietly firm.
The Bank of England to-day bought
s12l 900 in bar gold. Money, Az per

Tennessee Historical
Society Has Meeting.

The Tennessee Historical Society
held a regular meeting in the Wat
klus Hall, in Nashville, last Tuesday
evening and the principal addresses
of the occasion was delivered by
Judge John Bell Keeble on The Re-
construction Era in the South We
feel sure that those present enjoyed
a rich treat, for Judge Keeble is a
man Of exceptional ability and has
given much study to that eventful
period in the South's history. We
notice that an especial effort is being
made to increase the membership
of the society and hereafter every
member will receive the Tennessee
Historical Magazine published quar-
terly by the society and edited as a
labor Of love by DR.. St. George L.
Sioussat, professor Of history in
Vanderbilt University. In the near
future this magazine will contain a
rich collection Of newly discovered
letters of Andrew Jackson, John
Coffee and other distinguished
Tennesseans. Application for men,
bership may be made by addressing
the society in its rooms in the Wat
kiDs building, Church Street, Nash
vile.

Oct. II, Advertised
Candy Giving Day

This country has many kinds and
varieties of days and the list is
being added to- We notice for the
first that we have a Candy Day and
that October 14th is the date. This
day has been set apart as the one
on which everybody ought to send
everybody else a box Of candy
which is about the sweetest way
Of being held up that we can
imagine. Candies can be seen ad-
vertised at from $500 to $500 per
pound and the fancy fixings accom-
panying the sweets make them sell
readily even though the price is
nothing short ofrobbery. The finest
candy maker we ever knew---and he
could make many toothsome varie-
ties-told us that 35 cents was the
outside price that any candy ought
to cost, and that was a rare Turkish
recipe. But as the fools are never
all dead at the same time. we have
people who willrelish a candy which
costs a dollar a pound and would
turn with disgust from the same If
they knew its cost to be less.

is unquestionably true that difficult
ty in getting stands Of bur clover
has been rather frequent. On the
other hand, bur clover furnishes ex.
cellent winter and spring grazing

bination. AS every farmer needs a
good permanent pasture, we would
urge that at least enough but clover
seed to get a start be purchased and
planted this fall, seed saved next
spring, and the clover finally estab-
lished over the entire pasture.

Vetch is the great early hay crop.
Crimson clover is better as a crop
to pillow under, but clover is superior
on permanent pastures, but as a
producer Of large quantities of excel
lent early hay hairy vetch with oats
is the best crops we know Of. Though
generally maturing later than GRIM
som clover and bur clover, it has
the advantage of being very hardy
and can be safely planted as late as
November. 1t can be followed by
peas or soy beans for hay or a late
corn cl0p.
We are aware that some farmers
are using bur clover and vetch as
green manure crops, but for the
average farmer we rather consider
crimson clover the better for this
purpose, preferring to use bur clover
and vetch as above indicated Thus
we feel that no ore Of these three
great winter legumes is best, but that
all have a definite and highly i'm
portant place to fill, and that we
should use all Of them, rather than
contenting ourselves with only one

Crimson and Bur
Clover and Vetch,

We are repeatedly having inqui-
ries as to which is the best winter
legume, crimson clover, bur clover
or hairy vetch. Our answer is that
no particular one is best, but that
all three have or should have def.
mite place in any system OF farming
designed to best serve the average
farmer in the cotton belt. Thus
while one of these three may be
best in its particular place, we hold
that experience has fairly well de-
fined the respective places Of each
Of these great crops, and that each
IN its place is without superior
Crimson clover belongs in crop
rotation, to be plowed under in the
spring as a fertilizer for summer
growing crop to follow. Ripenine
as it does in April or early May, at
time when the weather is cool
and usually wet, crimson clover is
not a very good hay crop, and we
do not Recommend 1t as such. Quite
true, fairly good crops of hay are
sometimes made from it, but we are
certain that there are far better hay
crops, On the other hand, as q
