MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee viii
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

Northumberland of a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought In the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
]. 2. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
Iy bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, "for all their
boasted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it,"
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
diate large part of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quanti-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war "by the straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails
ing loans." AS result, he predicted
that the end of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.

The southern farmer who appre-

self much of what his family needs. is
certain to be confronted at the outset
by the problem of pastures. 1t is al
most impossible to realize a profit
upon any kind of stock without good
pastures and even If the stock is raised
primarily for home consumption rath-
er than for market, the first thing to
be done is to establish one.
Hitherto the South has been sadly
deficient in this respect because all the
attention has been given almost en-
tirely to cotton. The southern farm
err, however, can, If he will. have as
good a pasture as was ever seen in
Kentucky or Missouri; and have 1t
available more months in the year
than is possible in those states, For
a permanent pasture combination Of
bur clover and lespedeza and Bermuda
grass will afford good grazing for at
least ten months out of the twelve.
for the Bermuda and lespedeza can be
grazed throughout the summer and the
bur clover from January until the Ber-
muda comes on again. On light, sandy
soils near the gulf coast carpet grass
may do better than Bermuda. In any
case, however, every permanent pas
ture should have good proportion of

duce really good pasture. In fact
such one requires as good soil, as
much work in its preparation and as
careful handling as any field on the
farm. After the ground has been
plowed or disked and the seed sown
no grazing should be allowed until the
young plants become so firmly rooted
that they will not be pulled out by
the grazing animals. When seeding
is done in the fall the field should not
be grazed until the growth is well
started. and no permanent pasture
should ever be grazed SO heavily az
to injure the stand.
After the pasture has been made,
there are two weeds which sometimes
make trouble, the bitterweed and the
garlic or wild onion. The presence of
bitterweed Is an indication that the
pasture has been grazed too closely
or has been trampled SO heavily that
the surface soil is too hard and COM
pact for grasses and clovers to grow
The weed is seldom troublesome on a
rich soil in good condition and rarely
so on a poor soil which is not too
closely grazed The use Of fertilizers
or decreasing the number Of grazing
animals will aid in eradicating 1t.
The destruction of the wild onion is
more difficult matter. 1t can be
killed by deep blowing Of the ground
in September or October, followed by
very shallow blowing in the spring
and then planting the field with some
cultivated crop. However. this meth
cd cannot be followed in an ordinary
pasture where there are many trees or
in any pasture without destroying the
grass and so making the field useless
as a pasture for about eighteen
months. When pasture is not infest- /
ed it should be watched closely, and

pearance removed at epee,z::a,l:: 4. =

vetches will do for horses and cattle,
artichokes, chufas, sweet potatoes and
cassava for hogs. From December to
April oats or wheat and vetch make
the best grazing for dairy cows. Horses
and mules do not care so much for the
vetch but they will eat the grain until,
the permanent pasture is ready for
them. One bushel of turf oats or wheat
and one peck of vetch seed are suff1-
cient for an acre. If the rustproof oat

creased about one-half. Oats, however,
play such an important part in sound
southern agriculture that it will pay
the farmer to study this question thor
oughly.
With a little forethought it should
be possible for the farmer In the CEN
trail and southern parts of the South
to have fresh pastures for cattle and
hogs throughout the entire year. From
the following list selection should be
possible which will meet conditions on
almost any farm.

from one-third to one-half less to raise |
