Cover cropping was extensively used around the country in the first half of the 20th century. With the development of selective pre-and post-emergent herbicides, many farmers transitioned away from growing cover crops in the 1950s. In recent years the increased focus on soil quality and reducing chemical inputs has led to a renewed interest in the potential benefits of including cover crops in an agricultural production system. 1, record 1, English, - cover%20cropping

Havana Charter was the charter of the defunct International Trade Organization(ITO). It was signed by 53 countries on March 24, 1948. It allowed for international cooperation and rules against anti-competitive business practices. The charter ultimately failed because the Congress of the United States rejected it. Elements of it would later become part of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade(GATT). The charter, proposed by John Maynard Keynes, was to establish the ITO and a financial institution called the International Clearing Union(ICU), and an international currency; the bancor. The Havana Charter institutions were to stabilize trade by encouraging nations to "net zero", with trade surplus and trade deficit both discouraged. This negative feedback was to be accomplished by allowing nations overdraft equal to half the average value of the country's trade over the preceding five years, with interest charged on both surplus and deficit. 2, record 4, English, - Havana%20Charter

La Charte de La Havane a été négociée au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cette charte prévoyait la création d'une Organisation internationale du commerce (OIC) totalement intégrée à l'ONU. C'est donc plus qu'un accord puisqu'il se serait révélé à travers une véritable organisation. Cette charte est signée le 24 mars 1948 mais elle n'est pas ratifiée par le congrès américain (changement de majorité entre temps). Néanmoins les négociations continuent en particulier sur ce qui avait été prévu par la charte de La Havane en voulant appliquer provisoirement le GATT (accords général sur les tarifs douaniers et le commerce). Le GATT avait été signé en 1947, et prévoyait, en attendant la validation de la charte de La Havane, d'être appliqué. Cette charte abandonnée sera remplacée par la création de l'OMC (Organisation mondiale du commerce). 2, record 4, French, - Charte%20de%20La%20Havane

Although the average effective interest rate on the federal debt is expected to decline over the 1992-93 to 1995-96 period, its impact on public debt charges is offset by the higher borrowing requirements. The decline in the average effective interest rate is due to the term structure of the outstanding debt. About half of the debt is of a short-term nature and rolled-over within a year. The remaining debt has an average term structure of about four-and-a-half years. The average effective interest rate, therefore, should continue to decline as the longer-term debt matures and is re-issued at the current lower interest rates. 1, record 7, English, - roll%2Dover

On s'attend à une diminution du taux d'intérêt effectif moyen sur la dette fédérale entre 1992-93 et 1995-96, mais l'influence de ce facteur positif sur les frais de la dette publique est compensée par l'augmentation des besoins d'emprunt. La baisse du taux d'intérêt effectif moyen est due à la structure des échéances de l'encours de la dette. Environ la moitié de cette dette est à court terme, de sorte qu'elle est refinancée dans l'année. La moitié restante de la dette a une échéance moyenne d'environ quatre ans et demi. Le taux d'intérêt effectif moyen devrait donc continuer de baisser à mesure que la dette à moyen et long termes vient à échéance et qu'elle est refinancée aux taux d'intérêt actuels, qui sont plus faibles. 1, record 7, French, - refinancer
