Wilson County Farmers Grow Big
Crimson Glover Crop; Save Seed

Wilson County Farmers Grow Big
Crimson Glover Crop; Save Seed
County Agent E. F. Arnold, Of VIII
son county, reports that over 1000
acres Of crimson clover were grown by
the farmers of that county during the
present season, and that the farmers
are so-well pleased with the crop that
they will greatly increase the acreage
another year Enough seed have been
saved within the county to sow thous
ands Of acres.
"For the life of me | can't under
stand why it is that more Tennessee
farmers do not sow rye and crimson
clover as winter cover crops. said one
of the leading farmers Of the county
recently. 81 sowed rye and crimson
clover last fall, got fine stand and
had an abundance of pasturage on
which | run sheep, shoats and calves
during the fall and winter, and they
did as well as they would in the spring
on blue grass pasture"
Many farmers turn their stubble
land in the fall and leave it unpro-
tected from the winter rain. If they
would turn it in July or August and
sow rye and crimson clover the pas
turage received would return a good
profit, and then after having turned
this crop under in the spring, they can
well expect to produce on the same
land from one to two more barrels Of
corn to the a re, say specialists OF

Hour business !" III Cop
eT1lnle7lt Pays
By BILL PRICE.

Putting business methods into Government activi-
ties pays, just as it does in private business And
here is one instance of how it is being done these
days.
With the entrance Of the United States into the
war it became necessary to construct buildings for
office activities. The Government did not own
enough convenient land and leased seven blocks Of
Washington real estate between Eighteenth and
Twenty first Streets north Of street to New York
avenue, in the West Potomac Park section. On this
land it hurriedy erected many buildings, the names
OF which became known in every home in the land.
These included 1.-THE Food Administration :, "the
War Trade Board" and the "War Industries
Board
The leases the land expire in July, although re-
Movable until the following November. Uncle Sam
has invested about $25000OO in these stucco build
ings the aggregate floor space Of which is $4,000
square feet. y.
The buildings are still in use and will be disable
for twelve fifteen years. although of stucco con-
struction If the leases were allowed to expire the
Government would have to rent office space else
where costing about 100000 year. if it could
find this space.
Col CLARENCE O. SHERIFF. superintendent
of Public Buildings and Grounds who has made an
enviable record for business economies in his office
took the matter up with Senator SMOOT, chairman
of the Public Buildings Commission, who is daily
saving the Government money through application of
sound business ideas Colonel Sheriff. was instructed
to gather all available data to the buildings their
COST rental of buildings cost of the land to the
Government, ETC. He did so, at the same time pro
curing options on the seven blocks of land.
The outcome is that Senator Smoot has had in
serted in the appropriation bill for independent
Offices an item of $1,5OOOO0 for the purchase of
these blocks The bill is expected to become law in
short time and the Government to avail itself of
its options. The average cost of the ground will be
about 1920 per square foot believed to represent
bargain in view of prevailing prices in that vicinity.
The rental that would be saved in three years will
pay for the land, and loss will be sustained by
the Government
The complaint has long been that Uncle Sam
operates without the sembance of business sense.
The Budget Bureau created, and is working well.
1t begins to look as if Uncle Sam may own model
business establishment before anybody knows it.

one intellectual giant to rep
resent her in the Senate Of
the United States, and many
others who, while they did not
measure up to the height of her
great Webster, we're able men and
all courageous Americans.
But when Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge told the Senate that it must
ratify the treaty with the British
and Japanese empires as the only
door of escape from war with
those imperialisms, he shamed the
brave old State which sent him
to the Senate as she has never
before been shamed in all her his

The mean and cowardly plea is
worthy of the mean and cowardly

1t not only reveals the real pur-
pose of the imperialisms which
seek to entangle us in this al

threats by which they inundated
our representatives.
Look at this confession in all

Here. is what Lodge says:

We must either join hands

these imperialisms or fight

because they are afraid.
The American people are not
afraid.
If Senator Lodge is afraid of
England and Japan, he is not an
American-not one Of the real
kind.
If the Senate is afraid of this
mongrel alliance and Of the
threats Of Senator Lodge it is not
American-not a bit of it.
We were opposed to this treaty
before Senator Lodge made his
shameful confession of the motive
which actuated him and his col
leagues in framing it. Now we
are more than opposed to it. We
loathe it as we loathe cowardice
Of any kind.
Five years ago this very month
Of March he was shouting for war
with Germany and screaming that
unless we fastened to the help
of England and Japan we would
eventually be attacked by the
German Austrian alliance or
forced to submit to their treaty
demands in order to avoid war.
This danger was to be forever
prevented by assisting England
and her allies-among them
Japan-to destroy the Central
Empires and so make democracies
and republics and small peoples,
as we'll as great peoples, free from
the threats of imperialisms and
navalisms and militarisms.
That is what Senator Lodge
shouted from his place in the
Senate.
And now this same Lodge,
from his same place in the Sen
ate, tells us that we must either
submit and sign On the dotted
line or else these allied imperial
isms will do to us what he for
merly predicted Germany would
do, attack and harry us.

ours be forever guided by the
fears of a constitutional coward I
