BERN UDA IS
PRONOUNCED
BEST PASTURE
A Grass That Is Permanent
If Desired But May Be
Killed Out By Sowing
Peas On Land.
(By JIM G. FERGUSON, Com

missioner Of Agricultural
Without a doubt, bermuda is the
best grass we have for permanent
pasture. It makes an abundance OF
nutritious pasture on almost every
kind of land that is reasonably fer
tile it is a drouth resister, it is
not injured by overfloWs; close
grazing and tramping of many hoofS
do not kill it Once field is set
with bermuda, it makes a fine pas
ture every year without further at
tention except to plow the land oc-
easionally to prevent the vigorous
roots from becoming sod bound.
Prepare a good seed bed by disk
ing and narrowing the land until
it is thoroughly pulverized. After
the soil is settled, broadcast four
or five pounds of seed per acre and
cover lightly with a harrow or
drag. The young plants are very
delicate and cannot push through a
thick layer of soil A firm seed
bed is desirable and it is a good
plan to prepare it early in the
spring. but seeding should not be
done until a week or ten days after
cotton is planted Bermuda is a
warm weather plant.
If sod it used instead of seed
procure it from an old field after
the land has been prepared by max
ing burrows four or five feet apart
with a shovel pillow. Drop pieces of
sod at intervals of or 3 feet, cover
with dirt and pack with the foot
The sod should be planted when the
ground is wet
Unless the land is rich and well
supplied with moisture, little pas
ture will be secured the first year.
1t usually makes good grazing the
second year and thereafter, from
late spring until fall.
Bermuda can be killed in one
year by shading the land with cow
peas, soy beans or velvet beans.
There is no danger of it becom
ing pest and rendering the land
unit for other purposes, on the
contrary, bermuda improves the soil
and fine yields of corn, cotton and
other crops are always secured af-
ter it.

Smaller Cars In
1922 Speedway Race

indianapolis, March 3.-Thc cru
chile of racing has refined the
engine of the modern motor car i'll
the last two decades and one ex-
ample Of this is the 500-mile, races
conducted by the indianapolis Mo
tor Speedway, The tenth annual
international sweepstakes race will
be run on May 80. 1t will also
be the last of the 1873 cubic inch
class contests. Next year the race
will be for cars with two litre en-
gines, or 1872 cubic inches, smaller
than anything now produced in the
factories in America.
When the first 500-mile race was
run the maximum engine size was
500 cubic inches The next year
the class was reduced to a maxi
mum OF $50 cubic inches and three
races have been run for the $50,
800 and 1873 class, with this years
event. The Indianapolis Speedway
has been the leader in the reduction
of the engine sizes, both from q
factor Of safety, and also the re-
sulting fuel economy, from the long
stroke small bore engine. 1t is
noticeable that although the engine
size has been cut down the speed
averages have not materially suffer-
ed
Reduction of the engine sizes has
caused a reduction in car weights
The weight regulations forecast the
entry Of several foreign cars with
the small engines in this years
event.
First to make the entry for the
May 80 event was Eddie ('Grand-
pa'D Hearne, who has d penchant
for carrying the No. l in Indianapo-
lis events. Hearne, one of the four
drivers now racing who competed in
the initial five-century in 1911, will
drive a Disteel- Deusenberg, one of
the team managed by Ray Harroun.
Hearne and his competitors in the
coming event will race for a cash
purse of $4,000 and probably fifty
to seventy-five thousand in added
money.

Public Debt Shrinks Billion
Dollars, But Revenues
Also Fall-Savings Az
tributed to the Budget.
By w. II. ATKINS,
lnternatioaal News Sc.vies STAFF
CORRESPONDENT

Washington, March 6.-The Unit
ed States Treasury finished the first
year of the Republican administra-
ton today a little better off than
it started.
When President Harding enter
ed office the public debt was $24,-
OO0,0O0,0O0. Since then there has
been a reduction of almost $1,000
600 900 in the debt. Treasury plans
for rapid retirement of outstanding
indebtedness, in the form of Victory
notes and short time certificates of
Indebtedness, contemplate an even
larger reduction in the nation S
debt within the next administration
year.
The Treasury cash status has been
helped by the operations of the
budget system. Officials declare it
has proved the most effective weapon
for curbing loose extravaganza and
waste.
In large measure the cut in gov
eminent expenditures down to a
basis slightly below $4,000,000, 000
q year, for the present fiscal year,
has resulted from restrictions put
on government requirements and
spending. Another factor has been
the liquidation plans of the admin
istration. Liquidating boards have
realized about $500,000,000 from
sales or surplus war stocks.
Want Debt Manageable.
One of the chief features standing
out in the Treasury's programme
during the first year of the Harding
regime is the plan TO make the So
called short-dated debt of the coun-
try more manageable.
Within fourteen months more than
$4,000, 900 in outstanding Vic
tory notes and certificates of in
debtedness reach maturity. The ma
turity of such a huge portion of the
dominated the Treasury's position
for many months.
All Of the fiscal plans have con-
templated the refunding operations,
in order that there shall be a better
distribution of the early maturities.
The effect OF the refunding opera
ions by which both Victory notes
and certificates have been greatly
reduced has been to improve the
market value Of Liberty bonds.
Gradual increases in the value of
the Liberties is forecast by the much
larger refunding operations yet to
come.

Service.
New York, March 6.-Childhood
is the formative period. In youth
we can acquire with ease what
would make US overwhelmingly
weary in adult years.
There are many children eager
for learning often kept from the
fullest opportunities by circum-
stances or by Indifferent or INDECENT
families. In the field of the arts,
particularly in music, such depriva-
tion is keenly felt by many boys and
girls.
Special emphasis is placed upon
childhood as a study period by Mrs.
Enrico Caruso, the lovely young
widow of that great tenor whose
voice brought beauty into SO many
lives and whose death made world
mourn. Mrs. Caruso, who was Dor
othy Benjamin, has settled down in
New York in new home and is in
teresting herself in plans for a
great memorial to her husband BY
means of this tribute to the dead,
living talent is to be developed and
aided by a million-dollar fund.
Children Like Wax.

GaTusO. They can be moulded
easily. That is the principle go
on in Gloria's education. Even

tedious, that's the only way to get

you know that children wouldn t
so to school if their elders didn't in
sist upon it, and unless education is
thrust upon them they would be
very sorry, indeed, later in life"
Mrs. Caruso's views on the educa-
ton Of children are doubly interest
ing since she has not only her baby
daughter, Gloria, to rear, but also
the care OF Enrico Carusos son,
whose education was left in her
hands by the tenor when they
brought the boy to America Enrico
is now a student at a military acad-
envy.
Young Caruso's Education.
Il believe every child should be

Heavy Interest Charges.

The gross public debt OF the ma
ton will involve payment of heavy
interest charges by the government
for years to come The interest on
the public debt alone amounts to
about $1,0Q0.000,000 year, or
about one-fourth of the govern
ment's total outlay. Most of the
public debt represents Liberty
bonds and Victory note issues float
ed by the government during the
war. Liberty bonds and Victory
notes outstanding total more than
$40, 100000.
The administration second year
will show a larger reduction of the
public debt than was possible in the
first year. This programme will be
facilitated through the Treasury
decision to retire or redeem sub
stantial fraction of these issues.
Officials predict that this policy by

Before the end OF another year, I'M
less business takes sharp upward
turn, further revision of the revenue
laws, to provide additional sources OF
revenue, and perhaps a better distri-
button of the tax burden by shifting
the tax load from the shoulders OF
those least able to bear it, is thought
to be probable.

President Harding it is noted, how
ever, that thus far the revenues have

Reduction III Taxes.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
points to the reduction in taxes as
one of the achievements of the adj
ministration. The new tax law will
not fully reflect it's full benefits to
the public until the first full fiscal
year of its operation begins July
next.
President Harding, commenting
upon the economies enforced through
the methods made possible by the
budget system, said that Saving has
become fashionable.
Two meetings thus far held by the
business organization of the govern
ment have demonstrated that it is
possible TO knit the fiscal officers OF
the government together in a smooth
working, coordinate unit. Officials
predict that the savings of future
years will be even more pronounced
under the systems set UP to limit OK
penditures. Secretary Mellon de-
clared that further reductions in eX-
benditures must be effected, if ac-
tually heavy deficits are to be avoid

GEMS MADE IN LABORATORIES
trritations OF Precious Stones Are So
Perfect That They Can Almost
Deceive Experts.

Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, many
'other stones can now be initiated so
beautifully that 1t Is no longer easy
to detect the difference, upon casual
examination. Pearls are made In
number of varieties, and imitation
pearls are plentiful and often worn.
While only an expert can determine
whether some gems are genuine, there
are certain simple methods by which
in most cases "the genuine article"
may be detected at home.
Color is usually considered the first
great criterion Of all precious stones.
1t is now generally conceded, however,
that color alone is not a criterion by
which stones may be judged; other
physical properties must be taken into
consideration by the jewel expert.
The structure of the stone is
more certain test. The optical prop
critics of the stone, however, are the
rmOst certain test-what are known as
its "refractive property" This can
be ascertained by means of a small in
strument known as "refractometer.
Refraction means simply the bend
ing Of the light-rays out OF their nor
NAL course, when passing through GER
tain solid objects. The degree to
which these light waves are bent Is
called the "refractive index" In
most transparent bodies, including
gems, this retroactive index is constant
and known.kHereward Darlington,

lLL-LUCK IN THREE PIECES"
Ancient Superstition That Has Strong
Hold on the Mind of Almost
Every Japanese.

You must never take three pieces
of any cut food on your plate at one
time, nor must you ever offer three
pieces Of cut food to anyone at one
time. There will be bloodshed if you
do according to old japanese super
stition. Why? Well, three pieces is
Mi Kire, three cuts, and 1t may also
be, in the spoken language, Mi wo kiru,
in another infection, meaning ito cut
the body" Somewhat far-fetched, but
it holds strong sway in the minds OF
every living Japanese. furthermore you
must never cut only three baby dresses
out of one piece of material. One
tan" the usual length Of piece goods
will make exactly three baby dresses,
and leave a small remnant. This rem
nant, If you wish the baby you are
sewing for not to suffer from grievous
body wounds. you will cut into some
part of another dress, the neckband,
the belt, or anything you please, SO
long as the entire cutting from the
piece is more than Mi Kire, three
cuts" The curious belief in sympa-
thetic magic is strong in every walk of
Japanese life, and in every act of daily
existence.
