u. S. REPLY TO cARRANZA.
Was Submitted to President Wilson By
Lansing.

| Washington. D. c., June Ia. Secretary
Lansing laid before President Wilson to-
| day complete draft OF the note TO Car
rama replying to the demands that
American troops be withdrawn from
Mexico. President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing conferred at length on the sit
uation.
Unless some new development forces
the situation, the reply viii not be sent
until next week at the earliest. The
president and his advisers are anxious to
deal with the Csrranza note in such fash
ion that the action cannot be attributed
to domestic politics. As prepared by Sec
retary Lansing, the note is understood
fatty to decline to withdraw American
troops from Mexico until the de facto
government has shown its willingness
and ability to police the border states.
II also is said to make sharp rejoinder
to suggestions in the Mexican communi
cation which the officials regard as dis
courteous and uncalled for. Carranza
questioned the good faith OF the Wash
ington administration and openly hinted
that Wilson had his eyes on the Amer
lean political situation in dealing with
the border situation.
II is understood that the declaration
will plainly inform Carranza that his re-
quest for new statement regarding the
United States intentions is wholly un
necessary in view OF the consistency of
all previous utterances and actions by
the president. 1t will be pointed out
hat a friendly spirit has constantly been
toward Mexico, and that the
allure of Mexicans and Americans to CO
operate for the determination Of the ban
Its is due to the hostility and suspicion
by the Mexicsns

ber of the graduating class of the high

convincing fashion the great change
which has been wrought in the school,
changing it from a mere reformatory to
a school where boys and girls are edu-
Gated to become upright men and women.
The gift of complete equipment for the
school hospital by Mrs. J. E. Weeks,
which has been needed for some time,
was announced yesterday.

program of recitations and songs was
well rendered by the participants and the
exercises were opened with the Lords
prayer and closed by flag salute by the
of the graduating class and the

tion of the children to become good |
American citizens. The class chose as its
hero Abraham Lincoln and its motto, |
Onward Is Our~Aim."
Brief addresses were made by Governor
Gates, Judge Weeks and Father O'Sufli-
van. Judge Weeks emphasized the ex-
,eptional work of Superintendent Barss
and pleaded for larger opportunities for

on their earnest efforts.

lwelt upon the Importance of daily work
n character building. He told the chill
lren to fight hard against wrong and to
trive to measure up to the expectations
# their friends. Father O'Sullian's
peech went straight to the hearts of |
lis young listeners, as he told of his and
'ther friends love for them. He told
hem not to place instruction above edu-
alton, and not to be afraid or embar-
assed when they left the school, as the
'eople of the state were their friends
n closing he made an eloquent plea for
he development of the spiritual welfare
+ the children.

PRUNING DEMONSTRATION
Held at the Farm of A. N. Stratton In
East Montpelier.

The pruning and spraying demonstra-
tion on the farm OF A. N. Stratton of
East Montpelier was held as advertised
yesterday afternoon beginning about .
o'clock. A total attendance OF 81 was
registered, including the farmers of the
immediate vicinity and few from sur
rounding towns, Montpelier and Calais.
A short talk by County Agent Abbott
preceded the pruning demonstration. He
emphasized the Importance of studying
the work thoroughly in order to have a
clear comp ehension of what we want to
do before we start in trimming the trees.
The single stock and the umbrella or
scaffold form of pruning young trees was
explained. II the trees are attended to
when they are young it will never be
necessary to use an instrument for cut
ting larger than the common pruning
shears. Different kinds of shears were
explained; also the different kinds of
saws to be used.
The gathering then went into the or
chard and illustrated on the different
trees the proper steps to take in guiding
the growth of the tree. The principle of
pruning lies in the fact that when we
cut off limb the energy of the tree Is
thrown into the growing Of the lateral
buds below where the cut is made, there
by serving 70 re-establish the equilibrium
which naturally exists between the foil
age and the root system of the tree.
Three trees of the same kind and of
bearing age were selected to carry out
the principle of demonstration. Two of
these trees we're pruned and sprayed
the third was left to its own devices. A
meeting next fall will be held to compare
the results of this work
One good specimen OF the oyster she'll |
bark louise was found. This disease oc-
ours very infrequently in Washington
county. One large tree was pruned to
illustrate the possibilities of working
over our older orchards. When pruning |
10 not be afraid to do thorough job |
Did trees that contain dead wood will |
stand severe cutting.
Mr.. Stratton sprayed few trees in
.he afternoon with the following for
nul@, which Is meant for application as
oon as the blossoms fall, to combat the
Ipple scab, canker, Goblin moth, railroad
worm and bud moth: One gallon lime
ulphur compound, two and one half
POUNDS arsenate of lead mixed in 40 gal
ons of water.
A short talk ensued about the prin-
iples of combating insects and fungus
ests. These are divided into four
lasses, bark diseases toyster shell bark
ouse, San Jose scalel eating insects.
Ielriuu iusaota and thp nnpfe ena h Il
'rinted spray programs were distributed
elling how much and what kind of spray
0 apply and the time to apply it. The
me sulphur and arsenate OF lead seems
, be effective on all but the sucking in :
acts. For these we have to use CON !
ict spray, that is, one which win stick !
, the bodies Of the insects and suffocate ]
