Susten tion for a "tacit understanding" be tween the commercial Interests of the United States and Great Britain In Houth America, "to prevent German commercial domination" and a rivalry which might prove detrimental to the allied powers, was offered today In an Interview by Sir Maurice De Bunsen with the United Press Sir Maurice has Just completed a Ions ; trip through South American countries as head of a British commercial mis sion and formerly was ambassador to Vienna. Hla discussion of the trade subject Is regarded as timely because of the similarity of Interests of American and British business men In South America. Allies' Caste Growing "In traveling through practically every South American country' said Sir Maarice, "I found the people grow ing more strongly In favor of the cause of the allies. We naturally expected strong sympathy In Brazil because that oountry 1s actively engaged on our side, 'but we were agreeably surprised to find warm feeling toward us no lens in . Brazil, but In Argentina. Uruguay and many other South American countries. "While the governments of the vari ous republics. In South .America are still maintaining strict neutrality and are timid about going to war, public opinion there is. becoming so favorable to the allied cause that I hope to see them all take up the fight against Germany. Germaa Trade Knocked On "Germany's trade organization in South America has been almost entirely knocked out. German banks are still open In certain South American coun tries, but they are daing no business. "Forced to cut off exports at the open ing of the war, Germany has been un able9 to end lntc. South Amertea the vast quantities of small manufactured goods which formed the bulk of her trade. Sh is undoubtedly preparing to resume her operations there after the war. j "But it is entirely possible for the allies particularly Great -Britain and America to work harmoniously In South America and prevent German commercial domination. I expect to' see a tacit working understanding between the British and American Interests there . which will prevent any rivalry detrl J mental to either nation and one which will permit both countries to develop their Interests in harmony. While a formal agreement to this end may not f be made, I believe that the tie will be Just as strong, even though it is noT written and acknowledged In the usual manner. . ' AIU' Agents Harmonising: "During my visit to South America . I found complete harmony between rep resentatives of both American and Brit ish trade Interests' and I believe we are well agreed that there is room in that 'large and! still undeveloped continent for all of us. British capital has been N chiefly put Into railroad construction. Americans have gone in heavily for mining. In the scores of other activities I expect to see great progress after the war. "With a continuance of good feeling ! between Britain and America, there Is no reason why Germany cannot be de cisively beaten In any fight for trade supremacy she may Attempt In South America. Mill Study Conntrlet Needs "Close study of the needs of the va rious countries .'s essential If we' are to carry out this program. Wa have been inclined to lump' all South America to gether and think of all republic aa be ing Just alike. I find, however, that they are very different Indeed and. that each has Its cwn personality. I have learned a great deal about their varied needs in the time I have been visiting them and I believe this knowledge will help us materially In doing our share in South America's development, Sir Maurice already has had ana Im portant conference with Secretary of .State Lansing since he returned from ' f - ' ; ' . - . ... . . . . ! ! ; : : - '"U " 'spraTjak ' j, AtJfm f u j i "i!lt,. 7bsTsm ,- ' JrC - - t t-.'syttS ' 'w'il' r-? i riwr,f if V. , 1 S' TK ' r- '-; , ' riifIS' k-i- 5if" fic&t )ijkoUP v AUYA13 , NjrL ' 5?

Twenty Lane county farmers and a few Eugene busi ness men inspected the Irrigation and drainage practice of Benton county farmers and the experimental work of I the college. The purpose of the inspec- i tlon wja, to learn the methods and ; value of Irrigation In the Williamette valley, and to correct the most impor-, tant mistakes In their own practice. I Many of the farmers, says County ! Agent N. S. Robb, who conducted the J party, practice pump irrigation, which j makes the most economical use of water ' a matter of first importance. Many ' of the irrigated' crops showed an In-! crease of 50 to, 1,00 per cent from one or two applications. One field of clover ; j had yielded one heavy hay crop. Is now almost reaay to cut . tor seea, Dut would j give at least a ton and a half to the acre, and will later be pastured. One dollar's worth of - irrigation work pro duced a $20 ton of hay.
