ON. TREE DISEASES
County agent Prepares Sug-
gestiOns. to Prevent Loss to
'WaynesFarmers.

Spread OF Winjudious diseases such
as San Jose scale, peach leaf curl,
scab, canker worm, blotches moths
and other insects will. be prevented in
Wayne county this year II A. D. Cobb
county agent, can impress upon farm
ers the necessity tof more extensive
fruit tree spraying.a Mr.. Cobb said to
day.
"All sprays should tbe applied in a
systematic Mariner" Mr.. Cobb ad-
'vises. "Slipshod spraying is worse
than useless-it tdoes not secure re-
suits and wastesV time tand materials.
Adopt a definite ispray. schedule and
live up to that schedule to the last
letter Thoroughne.ss is antabsolute es-
sential to spraying,success. Apply the
materials, at the proper times. In a
thorough mannertand atclean crop is
assured"
Mr.. Cobb has outlined, several spray
schedules for various fruit trees which
he will furnish farmers ontapplication.
He will also arrange to issue these
schedules, with the ingredients for
spraying at farmers organization
meeting. The applications which he
advises are intended to be both cura-
tive and preventive, so' great care must
be exercised to cover completely every
inch of trunk with spray material.
Saving spray material is false econ
omy and one scale alive may reinfest
the entire tree, Mr.. Cobb says.
AS the apple trees 1n'Wayne county
are those most commonly attacked,
special measures will be, taken against
the insects and fungi, especially the
San Jose scale, whichs are the most
common.
Concentrated lime-suAphur forms the
basis of the most effective spraying
material for apple treesdiseases. Five
applications a year aresrecommended,
exclusive of dormant ispray applied
early in the spring. The ingredients
of the spraying materiarvary slightly
in each.
Concentrated lime-sulphur can be
bought as ready made preparation
or prepared at home. MFR. Cobb has
formulas of various kinds of lime sui
phur, which will be used fin fruit tree

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 27.-A
new tribunal on the Western hemis-
phere for the settlement Of difficulties
among American nations and the with
drawal from the Hague tribunal by
every American na1lon of strictly
American disputes calling for adjudi-
cation-these are the possible results
Of the Argentine-B razil-Chile mediation
Of tn trouble between the United
States and Mexico.
This forecast was given today by
John Barrett, director of the Pan
American Union and former minister
to the Argentine republic. Mr.. Bar
rett made it clear that he considers
that the "a B. c." proffer of the medi.
alton the most epochal development in
Latin-American diplomacy. Declining
to be quoted at length on a matter so
delicate, he, however, ventured the
suggestion that the events Of the past
two days in Washington have brought
a 'Pan-American principle" into the
field of world politics. Once recog-
nized, this principle must endure. Eu-
rops never again will be given the OPP
portunity to furnish a court for the
trial of a purely American cause.
That this aim was the Interior mo-
tive in the offer of the South American
powers to mediate between the United
States and Mexico. Director Barrett
does not believe. He is convinced that
the proposal was purely spontaneous
"a reflection of the interest with
:-N> Il
the peace of the Western world. Only
within the past five years would they
have felt capable OF this service, and
only because they had felt the pulse
of Latin-America did they breach the
subject in Washington and Mexico
City.
But the effect of the step Mr.. Bar.
rett regards as of tremendous signifi-
canoe. Not only has it set these three
nations of South America in the seat
of responsibility but it has softened
the hostile tone of the Latin-America
press toward the U. S. In every city
south of the Isthmus of Tehauntepec
the fact of this proposed mediation IS
hailed as possibly setting the product
on which shall be built the arbitration
tribunal of Pan-American-The court
in which every difference between any
two American nations, however dis
proportionate their strength or size.
shall be judged in peace by the sister
republics west of the Atlantic.
The United States will not stand in
the way Of such a separation from the
tribunal at The Hague. Mr.. Barrett
pointed out that at each of the four
Pan-American congresses held during
the past twenty years this has been de-
bated. On the eve of the sixth con-
gress it appears to be nearing an actu-
al embodiment
The old world, Mr.. Barrett thinks,
may be losing it's last authoritative
hold on the new.
Incidentally, Mr.. Barrett maintains
| that should the preferred mediation in
Mexico succeed, the United States will
gain far more from it than would be

IMPERIAL VALLEY LANDS
GREAT COTTON PRODUCERS

Edward Story, one of the earliest
and most successful cotton producers
of the Dixieland district of the Impe-
rial Valley, the man who last year
raised the American long staple cot
ton that took the prize at the Ell Cen
tro fair, and who three years ago was
the foreman of the Reed ranch when
it produced cotton that took the silver
cup in the New York show for the
best cotton produced in the United
States, having read so much about the
cotton fields around Calipatria, thought
he would find out for himself what
truth there was in all the Calipatria
claims for cotton. He strolled into
Calipatria the other day ard saw Mr..
Johnson Of the Calipattia Farm
Lands Company, and frankly told him
that he had heard so much about the
cotton fields and he had about con-
Guided that there was certain
amount of "hot air" attached to the
fabulous claims, and that he wanted
to see it for himself. Whereupon he
was invited to take an auto ride be-
tween the two rivers and see for him
self, for Calipatrias' slogan is "See.
ing Is Believing" After an extended
trip through the territory west and
south of Calipatria, where the H.
Linkletter, Ira Aten, ]. w. Yocum,
z. V. Henderson, Shawyer and many
other ranches, consisting of from 320
to $40 acres each of cotton, were
visited.
NJ. Story expressed himself as be-
ing amazed and said that he had seen
the Finest stands of cotton in the I'm
rerial Valley on these ranches, and
that the story about Calipatria and
the surrounding territory, and es-
pecially cotton, had not been half
told. He also said that along with
others he had first thought he had to
have section of land to earn a
living. He soon cut it down to half
section, then to 100 acres and then
to 40 acres, as he said that no man
can successfully farm to exceed 40
acres, whether it be to cotton, de-
ciduous or citrus fruits, or any other
product, and that a careful study Of
the valley had shown him that the
most successful farmers were the men
who were farming from 10 to 40
acres, and that 40 acres was the max
imum that any one should farm, and
that about 20 acres was the best re-
sult-getter for any individual. He

said the hiring of Hindoos, MeXicans,
negroes or any other kind Of help
to DO the work and himself act as
cverseer was not conducive to making
the most successful farmer in the I'M
perial Valley. He predicted that the
most successful farmers in the I'm
perial Valley would be the ones who
cut their ranches down to 10 or %
acres. Think of what this means,
not only to the North End and around
Calipatria, but to the whole Imperial
Valley.
We have sufficient water for the
irrigation of 100000 acres of land
and using Mr.. Story's maximum of
40 acres to the family would mean a
farming population of at least $4,000,
and to take care of this population of
$4,000 farmers an additional $4,000
to 100000 will be needed in the cit
les, civic centers and other manufac-
turing enterprises.

Tomorrow there will meet in

ties. In the neighborhood of 1,5O)
strangers from all parts CT the state
will be assembled to set forth in plat
forms the principles of the several
parties and to name the members OF
the committees to have charge of
the campaign.
1t is the first time such an assem-
bly, of all the parties at the same
time and place has ever been held
in California, this being one of the
provisions of the primary law.
One of the peculiar requirements of
the law is that all the parties are
required on Thursday to publish their
platforms simultaneously, that no one
can lake advantage of the provisions
in the platform of another party.

censors, daily stories of fighting on
the French frontier between the Ger
mans and the British and French al
lies; and of fighting on the German
frontier between the Germans, Austri-
ans and Russians.
FIRST one wing and then the other
is pushed back; then one wing or a
center advances. After long hiatus
the public is informed that the Ger
mans have forced the allies to fall
hack "on their stronger positions"
Following this, it is given out that
the Germans have left Belgium to
oppose the Russians in the east, bu,
still the fighting is supposedly going
on in northern France, with no ad-
vantage to either side. The accounts
given out are such that the average
man in the street cannot comprehend
Just what has been done, or what is
being attempted. And none of the
nations have given out details Of their
losses. In the fighting in Belgium and
in Alsace it was admitted that both
sides 'lost heavily" but no figures
were given out.
And so it goes. The war is being
fought presumably for the people OF
the contending nations. The German
soldier is fighting to preserve the in
tegrity of ermany and to protect
the interests of the German manu-
facturer and shipper. The same is
presumably true of England, France
and Russia and the other combatants.
Yet the people of these countries and
of the world are told, i'll effect, that
what is being done is "none of ti,eir
business"
The question in the minds of all
observers of the war game now is how
long will the people of the var,ou
countries be content to be kept in the
dark about what is being done by
their troops, maintained by their

EUROPEAN WAR is
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
(By Herbert Temple)
European Manager of the Interna-
tional News Service)

tlonal News SerVlce)
London, Sept. 14.-Perhaps never
before in history was a great war
fought with such secrecy as the great
struggle now going on among Eng
land, France, Russia, Belgium, Ser
via and Austria. The whole affair is
being shrouded in deepest mystery
and the issues befogged and becloud-
ed at every step.
Every possible effort is being made
by every government involved to
keep their people and the rest Of the
world from getting an inkling of
what is happening in the the1tres of
war.
Even the meagre statements issued
by the French war office, III, British
press bureau and the war offices of
Germany and Russia are so intricate
and ambiguous, so involved and round
about in their wording, that they con-
vey little information.
Portions of the British public to-
Gay showed disposition to be i'm
patient and skeptical, because of the
scarcity of information. They hintcd
that the government was reticent be.
cause it had something to conceal.
They argued that if the British ex-
reditionary force in France was VIC
torious the war office would have no
hesitancy in giving out the fact. Il
was POINTED out that when the Brit
ish fleet worsted the Germans Gff
Heligoland and sank some of their
ships, the press bureau gave it out
Quickly enough. Hence, they said, the
deep and almost unbroken official ST.
lence of the last few days bodies no
good for the forces of the allies.
In Paris conditions are no better.
The French war office gives out only
short statements and they lack posi-
tiveness Of detail. The French people
are clamoring more boisterously than
the british that they be given news
Of what is going on at the front.
In England the newspapers are nub-
fishing all they can get, in all the cit
les and towns, and the rural popu!a-
tion is as well or as i'll informed rs
the people of London. But in France
even the little news that the Parisians
obtain is not passed on to the prov
inces. There are no telegraphs and
no newspapers in rural France.
Up to date-and the war has been
going on about five weeks-these Of
ficial bureaus of the warning nations
have told the world, though the news
correspondents have no recourse but
to take what is given them, and some-
times have even that mutilated by the
