NEW TREATY GIVES
PLEASURE IN FRANCE

Paris. France. May 20. j. Jusse-
rand. the French ambassador at Wash
ington, is forwarding by mail the Amer
lean text of the proposed arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain and Franco. which was
submitted to the ambassador by secre-

The French opinion is one of extreme
qualification that France Is placed on
the same basis as Egland in the arbi-

The Socialists have frequently lauded

and consequently. should the govern
ment ministers favor the scheme, 1t Is
expected to have the support of the

PRODUCTION OF
SUGAR BEETS

The first refined beet-root sugar
produced in commercial quantity was
made about one hundred years ago,
at a cost Of approximately so cents
q pound. The cost Of producing cane
sugar was then somewhat higher
than that Of beet sugar.
The amount Of raw sugar
from the beet at that time varied
from 4 to s per cent, and the amount
Of refned sugar obtained was from /
to 2 per cent Of the weight Of the
beet.
The cost Of producing an acre Of
beets was estimated at approximately
$35, While the yield was from 6 to rs
tons per acre.
The advances that have been made
In cultural methods have been offset
to a very great extent by the increased
cost Of labor in the United States, SO
that the actual reduction in the cost
of producing beet sugar has been due
to the improvement Of the beet or to
less expensive operations in extract
ing and refining the product.
Thorough cultivation is another
factor in producing good sugar beets.

make much longer, natural growth
during the fisrt ten years than later.
With pears and apples, the main
body branches left at planting time
should not be more than eight inches
long. At the close Of the first season,
when pruning time arrives, the growth
Of that year should again be short
ened to at least one foot, and each
Of the main body branches should
carry not to exceed three subdivisions
about eight inches long.
The same operation should be re-
peated the third year, but the number
Of branches carried by each subdi-
vision should be reduced to two.
The arrangement of these branches
should be based upon the same prin-
ciple as the arrangement of the main
body of the trees.
One additional precaution is neces-
right or pyramidal tendency: the ter
minal bud which is intended to form
the leading branch from any primary
branch, should be left on the outside
rather than toward the center OF the
tree. BY observing this precaution,
the plant will have more tendency to
spread.
On the other hand, if a tree has a
tendency to spread and it is desirable
form of a pyramid, leave the terminal
bud on the opposite or inside Of the
branch.

FORMING APPLE
TREE
HOW TO PRUNE TO GET BEST RESULTS BOTH IN SHAPE AND
QUALITY OF FRUIT.
Rv II 4 COrhetf

In forming the heads Of orchard
trees they should be much closer 10
the ground than those Of ornamental
trees. Commercial orchards Of apples
and pears are now headed much low
er than formerly, three feet being a
very common height for starting the
head, while the heads Of peach and
plum trees are started even as low as
IS or 20 inches from the ground.
The reason is that in certain To-
calities where wind storms are fire.
Quent, a low-headed tree is less likely
to be broken, will lose q smaller pro-
portion Of fruit, and does not suffer
so much from sun-scald, as the low
head serves to a certain extent as a
shade for the body.
During the early years Of both or
namental and fruit trees, they should
be pruned vigorously, because they
