War Held CD Loan.

After many months OF negotiation and
certain foreign groups had advanced
sums Of money. a definite agreement be-
treen the six groups and the Chinese
Government was reached. The original
terms Of the agreement covered two
points. First, China was to reorganize
Is Administration on a more effective
basis, TO pay of its outstanding debts
and build up Chinese credit throughout
he world. The second point OF the
agreement was to protect American and
European investors. For such protec-
ION in the Judgment OF the Govern
ments and the groups, the only method
vas 10 insure despite any possible re-
currence Of political unrest the proper
expenditure Of funds lent to China and
20 safeguard the handling of revenues
pledged for principal and interest of the
bonds
Before tho American Group had made
any loan under the reorganization
agreement the Wilson Administration
came into power. and under the influ-
ence OF william J. Bryan. then Secre-
arT OF state, American participation
was olocked and the American Group
withdrew entirely from the negotia tons.
IN June, 1916, Lee. Higginson Co
vas appointed fiscal agent OF the Chi
nese Government in the United States
renewed attempts were made by China
70 get a loan but the Administration
maintained lis policy. When the Cont
mental and Commercial Trust and Saw
ing Bank made its loan OF $4,000. 900
carry In 1917 II replaced Leo, Higginson
4 Co as fiscal agents.
Then came American participation in
NE European war. with the outbreak Of
which cooperation between Germany and
ne other members OF the group ceased
with that condition and the develop
ment Of chaotic Russian situation the
discussions OF late have been conducted
chiefly among America, Great Britain,
Trance and Japan. In the renewed ne
rotations. however. the State Depart
ment has been consulted at every turn
and seems to have given the coopera-

Buckwheat is in general the best
grain crop for poor, thin land. Its
natural and favOrite environment Is
back in the hills" On land where
wheat or even rye can not be grown
with profit buckwheat is often able
to produce a profitable yield The
climatic conditions, however, must be
favorable.
On acid soils, which are quite COM
mon in the Northeastern states, buck
wheat does we'll. 1t does not require
large supplies of lime in the soil,
although lime is taken up largely by
the plant.
Lowgrade fertilizers may be used
to advantage in the growing of buck
wheat, as it can make use of relative
ly insoluble materials to better adj
vantage than the other grain crops.
1t may be used to render available
insOluble phosphates, like rock phos-
plate. as these are taken up by the
plant in larger quantities than by
other small grains. To obtain the
greatest benefit from such applica-
tiOns to following crops, the buck
wheat should be grown as summer
cover crop to be plowed under as
green manure in preparation for fall
seeding
Buckwheat serves to make even
very hard land mellow and friable
Consequently it is good crop to use
+ in preparation for such crops as pota-
toes.
AS it has a short growing period,
buckwheat can be grown on land
where spring-sown crops. such as
corn, have failed to make stand 1t
can also be used where the land can
not be worked until late, or where
other crops have been drowned out
| by late spring floods.
Buckwheat can be used to enlarge
farm activities. After other crops
that must be sown early are all in
there is often time to prepare land
and SOW buckwheat On account OF
the short growing season it may be
sown later than any other grain crop
! Where it is so used it often may be
advisable to SOW it even on rich land
which otherwise could be used more
| profitably for other crops.
