j. s. LAYS BELGIAN
DEPORTATION BEFORE
AMERICAN PEOPLE
State Department Says Gov
eminent Has Exhausted Its
Means of Diplomacy With
Germany
tBy Associated Press,)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-With publ
cation of the American protest to Ger
many on the deportations of Belgians,
state department officials disclosed to-
day the United States government has
exhausted its means OF diplomacy and
has laid the case before American pub
lie opinion, from which it is expected to
draw guidance before any steps are
taken. Germany's reply, conveyed IN
conversations with Charge Grew at Ber-
lin by Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hol-
veg, is that the deportations are re-
garded as justified on the grounds OF
social necessity.
Official information shows that the
deportations are continuing.
Publication of the protest revealed AT
the state department that publication OF
the document might be interpreted as
unfriendly, but that this contingency
had been taken into consideration before
it was given out.
The next step by this government may
be the making public of further intor-
nation of the extent and machinery OF
the deportations.
Meanwhile an official statement from
England. published today, that Ameri-
can relief in Belgium may have to be
terminated because of the deportatlons'
is causing alarm.
Belgian Minister Havenith called at the
state department today to express his
gratitude for the American protest and
to inquire if there had been any devel-
opments. He believes Germany cannot
fail to heed a protest of American pub
lie opinion.
against the treatment of the Belgians
Followed unsuccessful informal efforts
bv Charge Grew, under instructions
that he say informally to the Berlin
foreign office that the deportations were
having a most unfavorable effect upon
neutrals, particularly the United States.
The charge was informed in reply that
the policy was adopted as a military
necessity, and that Germany regarded
it as legal. - .
The note, with the departments
statement making it public, follows:
"On November 29 Mr.. Grew, our
charge at Berlin. was directed to obtain
an interview with the German chancel-
lor and read to him the following:
1.-The government of the United
States has learned with the greatest
concern and regret of the policy of the
German government to deport from
Belgium a portion of the civilian popu-
lation for the purpose of forcing them
to labor in Germany, and is constrained
to protest in a friendly spirit, but most
solemnly against this action, which is
in contravention of all precedents and
of those humane principles of interna-
tional practice which have long been
accepted and followed by civilized ma
tions in their treatment of noncom-
batants.
Furthermore, the government of the
United States is convinced that the
effects of this policy, if pursued, viii in
all probability be fatal to the Belgian
relief work, so humauely planned and
so successfully carried out, a result
which would be generally deplored and
which, it is assumed, would seriously
embarrass the German government
THE interview has taken place"

FIRE BLIGHT APPEARS IN

so PER CENT. IN ORCHARDS
Agent NJ. o. Pence Visits Diseased
Orchards and Offers a Remedy to
Help Control the Blight

Help Control the Blight
Many cases of what appears TO be
fire blight have appeared on apples
and been reported in all parts Of the
county. The County Agent has been
to a number Of the farms where the
disease has appeared and is causing a
loss of as much as so per cent of the
fruit and fruit spurs on some varieties
that are susceptible. The Yellow
Transparent, as usual. is more sus-
ceptible than most varieties The
disease apparently enters the blossom
and then travels down the stem of the
fruit ON into the spur. browning the
leaves and fruit and causing the latter
TO drop off. This disease, the COM
plete life history of which and methods
Of infection are unknown, is a germ
disease and may be transmitted from
one part of a tree to another, or from
tree to tree by insects, rain and etc.
About two weeks ago the attention of
the County Agent was called TO the
gummy, brown exerescence that was
found in the hole over blight campers
of Kieffer pear trees. No doubt the
infection has been scattered and
spread from these centers more or
less prevalent where blight did dam
age last year. To control blight
has been one of the stupendous pro
blems for the Orchardist. Being a
germ disease. the spray will not reach,
It has proved of little practical value
to apply any of the corimon spray
materials. II the infection is carried
from the spurs and growing fruit tn
the tips of the growing branches, as
may be expected, it will be practical
and profitable on young trees especi-
ally. to cut out the blight. To do
this, disinfect the knife before and
after each cut, also the end of the cut
twig; this to prevent the spread of
infection where it has not reached.
Always cut the branches from 8 inches
to a foot below the extreme point
which is blighted. Keep the water
sprouts on the main branches and
trunk rubbed off, as they soon carry
the disease into the trunk, where
nothing can be done and the tree is
soon killed. To disinfect wounds and
knives use mercury biehlOride (corro.
sive sublimate) )one part to one thousand
of water. Be careful Of this
deadly poison. The County Agent
would be pleased to hear Of other tree
troubles similar or dissimilar to the
above.

More care is required by the caiv-

rect bearing on the milk flow of the

The main things to be considered
are the health and comfort of the
COW and calf, which are closely related.
A large, roomy box stall is probably
the best place for the COW at this time,
Very light feed is needed and the wa
ter given should not be ice cold.
Assistance should be given the COW
