On May l. 1861, the Virginia con-
vention, which thought it had the say
over what is now West Virginia, re
leased citizens from oaths of allegi-
ance to what was styled 1.-THE late con-
federacy, known as the United States"
The ordinance read:
IAN ordinance to release the Off
GERS, civil and military, and the citi-
zens generally OF the state of Virginia,
from all obligations to support the con-
stitution of the late confederacy,
known as the United states Of Amer
lea.
BE it ordained, that all the Off
GERS, civil and military and the people
generally OF the state, be and they are
hereby released from any and all
6aths which they may have taken in
support OF the late confederacy, known
as the United States of America, and
that said oaths and the said constitu.
ton are imperative and void and OF
no effect and that the eleventh section
of chapter thirteen of the'C Code of Vir-
gfnia of eighteen hundred and sixty,
be and is hereby repealed"
Reconstruction plans were on at
that time for Western Virginia which
resulted in the formation OF a new
state so this ordinance did not amount
to much as far as West Virginia was
concerned nor to Virginia as It de.
veloped.

TIE BRITISH EMBARGO.

JHILIP B. KENNEDY, commercial attache, who
has recently returned from England, predicts that the
British embargo imports would up for review on
September J.. The reason given for the imposition of
import restrictions at this time is that it necessary assist
in maintaining the exchange position and also to protect
British manufacturers during the period when foreign trade
is reyiymg, declares Mr.. Kennedy. With pounds ster-
ling at discount compared with the dollar, the effect
IS that Il costs more in terms of sterling to buy American
goods, he continues This will automatically have the
effect of increasing American prices and decreasing Anne
rican imports 1t will also make British prices the United
States lower and is expected to increase the expectation of
British goods to the United States.
While Britain is subscribing to the maxim that self
preservation the FIRST law of nations, the United States
is muddng along under Wilson's free trade policy which
actually supports Britain in trade strategy inmca to the
interests of the nation which until 1922 must acknowledge
Mi. Wilson its president. 1t is to be borne in mind
that certainly by September L. and probably before that
policy. and there every indication that she proposes

much. and he has assured the British colonies prefer
sndal treatment in the British market while they are like

for preferential treatment of English goods in their mar

Valuable as alfalfa is, it has its
drawbacks 1t is difficult to establish
in some parts of the country, especf-
ally in the eastern states. 1t requires
careful methods of handling. 1t is no
crop for the careless farmer; but is a
very profitable one for the farmer
who takes the trouble to learn how
TO handle it from the seeding 20 the
feeding. One of the important things
to learn is just how to make alfalfa
hay, according TO specialists of the
United States department of agricuI-
ture.
Alfalfa does not cure at all readily.
and good quality hay is hard TO get.
Especially is this true of the first cut
ting, which comes when heavy rains
are apt to interfere with its proper
curing The bright green hay so COM
mon in the irrigated sections is al
most never seen in the humid regions.
due to injury from rain.
Time of Cutting.
Most farmers are prone TO cut their
get more cuttings, thereby thinking
to get Il bigger crop. The fact is, the
extra cutting is frequently made at
the expense of total tonnage. The
real test of the size of the seasons
crop is total tonnage rather than num-
Der of cuttings Where four cuttings
are possible, three usually are more
desirable and more profitable More
hay is actually made for the season /;
and the plants are left in better con-
ditiOn for the winter
The first growth usually is rank
sometimes causing the farmer to think
it should be cut before it really is
ready The stage of growth is the in
dicatiOn for cutting rather than the
size of the plants. The general rule
is to cut alfalfa just as it is coming
into bloom and the basal shoots are
making a good start for the next crop.
In the eastern states, cutting earlier
may injure and frequently kills the
plants. Cutting later lowers the feed
ing value of the hay.
Methods of Harvesting.
Methods of making alfalfa hay
vary in different sections of the coun-
try; but the basic principles are the
same. The motto everywhere is: Cure
alfalfa hay quickly, with as little
handling and exposure to the weather
as possible" Rapid curing holds the
leaves on better. Less handling knocks
fewer of them off. This is important,
