Washington. Sept. 6. U. P.) 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,

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. The visitors
were greatly impressed, and were espe
cially surprised to learn that much less
water rightly applied would get better
results and improve the water holding
capacity of the .soil.
