LIMITATION OF WAR AREA
Confirmation of Russia and Frances
 Approval of Hays Note.
Belief That the Accord VIII Prove of InestImable Benefit In Linn
 fling the Conflict.

Paris, Feb. 16.-The foreign office these dispatches. Saturday, that Rus sla and France approve of the United States note on the subject of Chinese neutrality with a reservation eXclud- ing Manehuria
 The success Of the American initi ative to secure the naturalization of China and the limitation of the area of operations continues to absorb of ficial and diplomatic attention, the re suits effected being considered para mount to the actual war operations It is said that the second American note and the various replies will constitute an accord Of the powers. without sign ing further agreement
 The American officials here expect Russia 10 issue declaration similar D that of Japan. favoring the prin ciples of the accord. but the French foreign office understands that Rus sia's brief approval already given con stitutes Russiais response
 The general view, including that of the American officials. is that the ac- cord will prove of inestimable benefit in limiting the conflict strictly to Rus sia and Japan. thus keeping out Great Britain. France, China and all other powers, and also circumscrbing the zone of the conflict This view, how ever, Is not universally accepted. cer- tain high quarters holding that Rus sia secures real benefits from the ac- cord, by the indirect admission of the powers, for the first time, that Man ehuria is to be treated differently from the rest of China. The American an swer to this is that Manchuria is ex- eluded from the accord merely because actual war operations are proceeding there, but there is reason to believe that Russia attaches much importance to the powers excepting Manchuria from the accord dealing with China.
 The only adytees received here con- corning the operations in the field show gradual concentration of Russian and Japanese troops near the Yalu river.

Money in Growinn Peaches.

A bulletin on Peach Growing in Arkansas has been prepared by Er nest Walker, horticulturist and ento- mologist of the agricultural expert ment station at Fayetteville. MT Walker gives the following interesting observations: "A small planting in Washington county of trees 10 years old and under good care yielded at the rate of SlS0 per acre net at DO cents a bushel, both in 1901-02. Instances of better returns could be easily multi piled. One of the most notable in- stances of large returns from a we'll cared-fGr peach orchard was that of MT. NJ. s. Scott. at SlatOnyille, who netted S10.00O in two years from q 30-acre orchard of three and fouryear old trees, $3,000 for 191l-and S7,000 for 1902 On the other hand. an orchard of equal extent, and equally fayorably located, under the same eli matic conditions. yielded nothing in the same years on account of inex- perienced management. On the whole the results in l90l-02 were so very satisfactory in Arkansas that an un- preeedented interest in peach grow ing has arisen. In 1899 the census showed a total of 2,7G9,052 peach and nectarine trees in Arkansas tpracti- cally all peaeh1. In 1899 the number of trees was 4.oG2, ,21S. Since 1900 il Is probable that the number Of trees has been more than doubled. possibly the total extent of such areas has been trebled."
