farmer to buy and sow lespedeza
seed on pastures. Where pastures
were grazed close last year, as
they were in most cases, it is
doubtful if any lespedeza reseed-
ed itself. 1t would be advisable
to sow from 10 to IL pounds of
common or kobe lespedeza on
pastures in early March. believe
this would be one of your best
grazing practices and it is a sure
way to keep lespedeza in your
pastures.
Nitrate Oats. Rye Grass
and Eescue
Starting from the middle of
February to the first week in
March is a good time to nitrate
oats, rye grass and fescue for a
seed crop. Do not over-nitrate
For oats 100 to $50 pounds Of
ammonia nitrate Is plenty, for rye
grass and fescue 100 pounds of
ammonia nitrate would be suf-
ficient to produce q good seed
crop.
Cattle should be removed from
oats and fescue by the 10th of
March. Rye grass could possibly
be grazed until the is or Goth of
March.
Reduce Expenses
In order to make money at the
present prices of our produce il
is necessary to reduce expenses
in producing our products. In
order to do this it is necessary
to produce more per acre than we
have in the past. In order to pro-
duce more per acre it is necessary
to cultivate only our best land,
use plenty of fertilizer and in
the case of cotton do a good job
of poisoning if needed. Use labor
saving methods, for instance we
may reduce the cost of hoeine
from one half to two third by the
use of chemical weed control or
by cross cultivation of our crops.
, Cross cultivation is being done
successfully on our large panta-
tons in the delta and on our
larger fields in the hill area OF
the state. 1t can be done success
fully and economically. Cross cul-
tivation can reduce our labor al
least so percent. If you have fields
large enough that would justify
cross blowing it would be wise to
consider doing this.
FERTILIZER cOST-It is more
economical to use from $500
to $4,000 worth of fertilizer pei

to use $500 to $500 worth Of

properly, such as a good poisoning

It would be wise to plant IS to

good land for hay. However,
do not believe would waste seed
on very poor land or land that
will dry out during the summer.
One hundred pounds Of kobe
lespedeza will cost about SIS. 90

enough seed to produce 6 tons of
good lespedeza hay provided we
have sufficient rainfall during the
summer. It will cost 5 to s dollars
per acre for preparation of land
and will cost approximately 80
cents per bale for cutting and
baling. For 6 tons of hay this cost
would amount to approximately
100 to ITO dollars. Figuring les

two hundred and ten dollars, so

Mr.. Mccormack, assistant

Hence, most French political

concern that Germany and

this is the most unpalatable
prospect any Frenchman faces

Forty million Frenchmen
have been thoroughly indoc-
trinated that Germany and
not Russia is their country's
enemy. And the idea of COL
lective security which has been
preached by America since the
end of the war has not pene-
trated into the minds OF the
French. They look at the world
situation as a contest between
their country and Germany
and are only vaguely interested

ON BOARD SHIP RETURN
ING FROM EUROPE.-French
political leaders representing
the rightist and middle-of- the
road parties have come to the
conclusion that America does
not know what it is doing in
international affairs. Instead
of adopting a policy of fish
or cut bait" we are keeping
the cold war alive. they say.
This sentiment was summed
up as follows by one of the
most important French politi-
clans, whose name cannot be
mentioned at present, but who
undoubtedly will play an i'm
portant role next year: If
you feel that war with the
U. S. S. r. is inevitable, why
don't you declare war and have
it done with? If you feel that
you cannot afford such a
move, which may have catas-
trophic consequences for the
whole world, why not negotiate
with Moscow and Peiping? Sit
down at an exploratory five
power conference. Sit down in
the strictest secrecy with re-
porters outside the conference
room and without movie cam
eras turning. It would be less
tragic if such a parley failed
than to continue your present
negative policy.
There will be nothing lost
if the first meeting fails to
reach any conclusive agree
ment. Another meeting can be
held later. But in the mean
time you have shown the Com
munists that you are leaving
no stone unturned to obtain
a solution of the present dan
geTouS situation. Don't ask for
any indications of good will
Such demands merely offend
the Russians and the Chinese.
Trust them and they will
eventually trust you. And your
leaders should remember that
henceforth time is working
against you"
This prominent French
man emphasized that this does
not mean necessarily that
from a military point of view
the U. S. S. R. is jumping rap
idly ahead of us. He was
talking in political terms.
Europe" he added, "is getting
sick and tired of the cold war
and war alarms with all their
