CATTLE RAISING AND
' PERMANENT GRASSEE
Mr. Secrest Discusses Burr am
Crimson Clover.
NEEDS OF THE FARMERS
TeU> Hon lJfe Can bo Mailt* Ka-?>
on the Farm With the Promise
of More to Come.
To the Editor of The News:
This question of cattle raising
nun iu(; viuu i r* auu ^rt uiiiiirm
grasses rests so on my mind that 1
am compelled to write again about
them. Last fall I paid $5 for foui
bushels of Burr clover seeds, sowed
them on one acre of land, also sowed
some crimson clover seeds in this
plat of ground to insure a good stand
Three weeks ago it was planted tc
corn, which is now knee-high. In
cultivating it, as I expect to, only use
the harrow and cultivator in working
it. I think I must have destroyed
ten stands of young clover, and
notice there is still enough up again
to make several more stands. The
only hope to secure a stand for next
year is that the burr clover has front
two to six seeds to the burr, on
rich land and about 30 burrs to the
limb, and about 50 limbs to the
bunch. The Kible speaks of from l?i
to a 100 fold, but burr clover averaging
four seed to the burr is liable
to make 6,000 seeds from one seed.
Now if you don't believe me. suppose
you try it next year and tell me
about it.
I have a neighbor, who bought
one-fourth bushel of those seeds last
fall was one year ago. and saved
enough to sow two acres last year.
He said he has gathered this year 2 8
bushels and could easily gather 2U
bushels more seed if he had the time.
What we Southern farmers want is
to get our cultivated land so full of
burr and crimson clover seeds that
after each rain, the seed will corns
up like crab-grass seed for mowing
purposes, and to make hay I like the
crimson clover best, it stands up
better than the other, but for early
grazing and for land improvement. 1
think the burr equal to, if not the
superior, of the two clovers. One
advantage the burr has over the
crimson is that it will grow in the
naked pasture, in a road, gully or
anywhere you can get the burr
tramped in by stock so the seed can
come up. The pea is a great land
improver, but I don't believe it will
begin to equal either of the clovers
to bring up our run-down, worn-out
lands.
Let us not forget to sow vetch and
rye and to try to get into the seed
of the Abruzza rye as soon as possible
to make the stubble and litter
to keep our poor run-down lands
open and pliable and especially when
we have the heavy, beating rains like
we have had this spring.
Now I am going to keep talking
about clovers and permanent grasses
until I get some farmer or farmers
interested in them and just as soon
as we get the grass and clover, then
the people will want the cattle to
consume it, and when they get the
tattle then they will have the manure
and when thev have it then the fin.?
corn acres will follow, and then will
come the silo and next you will hear
of the creamery wagons going the
rounds. I am told that one auto
wagon makes a daily round through
southern Mecklenburg county and
the northern portion of Lancaster
county and gathers about 00 pounds
of cream each day, paying 30 cents
per pound for it.
There is no question about the
grass and clover, th* cattle and silo
and the good corn and sorghum to Jill
these silos, for they are coming, they
are all coming and the farmer who
takes hold of and makes preparations
for. these things lirst will be
the man who will have the full
pocket book first. Let us make our
farms rich and productive with the
grasses. silage and cattle. It is
much easier to sit around under the
shade trees and read the newspapers
and watch the cattle mow grass all
day than it is for us to take our wife
an? cnuuren witn <ltin hoes and Kit
out In a cotton Held and mow grass
all day. In the first instance the cow
works for you; in the second you
work for the New York and London
cotton speculator. Which will you
choose? I am told by a reliable man
who visited the old country and talked
with their people and saw these
things with his own eyes, and that
he saw in Holland good sized families
living on one acre of land and

keeping two large Holestine cows and
that all the product front those cows
went back on that acre, except the

part of it was that the people and
cattle all lived under one roof, only
1 a partition between the apartments.
He said the cows' stalls was cemented

However, nothing like that will j

THE EMBARGO AS A SOLU
? TION. +

Greensboro News.
Thrpp mnntbc or rnoro hnva olnne. I
ed since the problem relating to
' ocean commerce became acute. In
' the early stages of the controversy,
still underway. The Dail. News ventured
the opinion that the United
States had but one recourse, short of
resorting to force; an embargo could
be placed upon trade with any nation
that interfered with American shipping.
It is realized in Washington
that no progress at all has been
made in the effort to get relief for
American shippers. No one is making
any effort longer to compute the I
losses. Importers say there would
be millions in the treasury at Washington
today which is not there at
all. and will never be there, because
importations from neutrals have !
been headed off by England. Not
only are indl\(duals and corporations
losing millions every month, but our
government is losing the import
| duties.
In the note of Great Britain of (
March 3 0, appeared this paragraph:
"The order in council of the 15th
of March would constitute, were its I
provisions to be actually carried into :
effect as they stand, a practical asser- ;
tion of unlimited belligerent rights
over neutral commerce within the
whole European area, and an almost '
i unqualified denial of the sovereign1
rights of the nations now at peace." '
The worst fears of the Washington
government have been realized, but j
the British response .after weeks of 1
delay, is to the effect: "His majesty's
government can scarcely ad- j
mit that on the basis of actual facts
any substantial grievance on the part
, of American citizens is justified or1
t , ,. I
j can be sustained.
In other words, our state department
is told, in so many words, that j
it does not know what it is talking
about and there is 110 promise at all
that conditions will get any better.
! Under the circumstances it is interesting
to note that there is a growing
disposition in Washington to apply
the remedy hitherto suggested >
; by this paper.
A World special says: "Officials :
, today Insisted that the United States 1
has only one means that ever will re- I
suit in remedying the present situation,
and that would be to place an

that it could not place an embargo

act, but officials of the department
appear to believe that it
would be perfectly proper for this
government to place such an embargo
; as a reprisal against England for destroying
the trade between the United
States and Germany and for dam
aging American trade with all the ,
neutral countries. .

THE LANCASTER NEWS
I definitely the diplomatic correspondence
without benefit to American
trade.
"If the United States placed" an
| embargo on arms and ammunition,
the first to suffer would be American
manufacturers, who have hundreds
of millions in contracts with Russia
and England principally.
"State department officials today
were unable to agree upon the meaning
of the statements made by the
British foreign office concerning the
future treatment of American products
purchased in Germany, but
which have not been shipped out of
the country on account of various delays,
"In some quarters the statement
was intrepreted to mean that Great
Britain proposes hereafter to allow
any products purchased before March
1 to be shipped out, and in other
quarters the opinion was advanced
that the statement contained no
promise definite enough to give
American exporters assurances of any
sort."
There is little doubt that the embargo
idea would appeal with favor
to a number of Southern statesmen,
'rom the beginning Senator llok.
Smith has urged something of the
kind. Congressman Webb was in
Washington a few days ago and talked
this and kindred matters over
with the President. It was after
this that reports became persistent
iiiui ine r resuiein wuum senu a
tariff note to England just as soon
as the Gorman situation cleared up
a trifle.
There is not the least doubt that
the United States holds the whip
hand and all reports agree that the
President intends to make use of the
whip. The allies liav? got to have
our supplies. The United States
could open the ocean lane, compel
all the nations at war to respect some
code of international law, whenever
the President elects to make the
move. Moreover, it would be a
bloodless enterprise. The Washington
Post sees in the proposed embargo
a ready solution of the problem,
thus describing the situation:
"There is an ever-growing demand
in the United States that munitions
of war shall not be permitted to go
forward to Great Britain if she persists
in killing of American com
merce. I nis demand is especially
strong in the South, which feels the
pinch of British seizures of cotton
and the loss of the German cotton
market. Great Britain holds that
cotton is not contraband of war, yet
she holds up cotton cargoes bound
for Germany. That empire has been
the second largest purchaser of
American cotton. With that market
cut ofT and with a prospect of 5,000,000
bales to be carried over to next
year, the South faces a desperate
state of affairs through British aggression.
Accordingly Southern senators
and representatives are formulating
a demand that the United
States shall place an embargo upon
munitions of war until Great Britain
relaxes its war upon cotton. This
demand will surely be voiced in Congress,
and the administration may
tind itself powerless to resist it. In
that case Great Britain will find that
her unlawful attempt to stifle legitimate
and innocent American commerce
has deprived her of the chief
source of supply for munitions of
war.
"Great Britain will go as far as
she dare in throttling lawful trade,
but she will desist if the United
States presents a protest in final
form. The tint# is at hand when
such a protest must he forwarded."
Wonderful Cuban Caves.
The wonderful caves of Bellamar,
Cuba, to the east of Havana, attract
the attention of the ambitious tourist.
They are on a plateau as level as a
table top, which presents no signs of
the existence of such caves. After
descending into the earth, however, a
picture unfolds itself. Then come many
passages, and at last the great "Gothic
temple," 250 feet long and 80 feet
wide.
Loyal to Aunt May.
Aunt May was the favorite aunt of
little Ellen. One day the former said
to ner, naming three other aunts,
'Which do you like best. Aunt Anna,
Aunt Emily or Aunt Palmer?" Little
Ellen looked thoughtful a moment and
then said, "Why, I like Aunt Anna
better than Aunt Palmer, but I don't)
like anybody best what isn't you."
