stood practice. because but few un-
wsyering principles can be set down.

scribing. demonstration Is needed

ing are few helps that may be use
full:

ter fruit.
Season-Any time In the dormant
season. preferably late in the sprine.

4--Do not cut on all of the water
sprouts. Leave some where there Is
place for them and cut the rest
back.
Toois-The ones you have and make
them sharp. saw and hand shears
is all you need for the young trees. For
old trees get q pole pruner.
Cuts--Cut close and leave no stubs.
Wounds do not need painting. When
cutting branches back. cut TO small
branches pointing out from the tree.

the tree and working down Use the
saw. then the shears and c tuout as
you work down. Use pole pruners fof

Increase to
National Forest
Grazing Fees

Secretary Houston of the Depart
ment of Agriculture believing that
further suspension of the increase in
national forest grazing fees first de-
cided In 1916. is no longer justified.
has announced new rates to go into ef-
feet March l.. 1919. Effective at the
same time he has authorizind the
granting OF five-year grazing permits
where the conditions warrant such
and such permits are desired by the
stockmen.
In accordance with this decision,
forest service officials at the Denver
headquarters announce that the graz
ing fees for the 1919 season on the ma
tionai forests Of the Rocky Mountain
district will be as follows: Cattle
Year-long rate. Colorado. Wyoming,
South Dakota. Michigan and Mime
sofa forests. 81 each. except Bighorn
forest. Wyoming. $1.20. ad Nebraska
forest. Nebraska, $3.50.
Sheep and goats-Yearlong rate.
Colorado and Wyoming forests. %
cents each, except Bighorn forest, Wy
omine. 80 cents.
kaofhes-- caf-louB rhts 90 per cent
more than for cattle.
Swine-Year-long rate. rs per cent
less than for cattle.
On this basis the charge for cattle
for the usual summer grazing season
(five months) will be so cents head,
and for sheep Qour months) 10 cents
a head.
The original plan was to advance
grazing fees SO l-3 per cent a year for
three years. beginning 1917. but on ac-
count of the disturbed conditions
which confronted stockmen that year
the advance made was only rs per
cent. while a year later the emergency
situation created by the war led Sec
retary Houston to suspend temporarily

AUSTRALIANS CASE
AT PEACE MEETING
(By United Press)

tion this campaign merely to snow tnat
Australia has right to be heard. This
is her case:
1.-The islands in the Pacific are ca
pabJe of great development in the
right hands. They were never prop
erly developed by Germany. but were
mismanaged. and held as strategic
points in case of conflict. So quickly
did the Australians and New Zealand
Inhabitants descend on them however,
that they were wrested from Germany
before she could use them as bases to
destroy trade.
2-The German administration of
the islands in the Pacific reveals a rec
ord of cruelty to natives-a record of
utter failure to colonize successfully.
S-If these islands were to go back
to Germany they would be used as a
base of possible naval operations. IT
is impossible to keep under strict sur
veillance the operations OF power on
such remote waters. Even while pro-
testing the most peaceful intentions
Germany might be sending submarines
to parts of these quiet isles--there
to start at a given signal, a campaign
Iof frightfulness against peaceful COM
merce such as we lave witnessed dur.
ing the past four years.
4EOne of these islands, the Ger
man portion of New Guinea, is within
so miles of the mainland of Australia.
The coastline of what was once Ger
man New Guinea is made up of a Sc
ries of small bays and inlets which
would be admirable as base for U.
boat operations.
5---Australia, large country. but
sparseiy populated. has but limited
financial resources. With her pop
ulation of only 5000. 900 souls. she can
not afford the tremendous financial
outlay that a policy OF coastal defense
against such potential danger would
entail. Nor should she be asked to
face such an expenditure. She. like
other small communities. has won
/ with her blood immunity from the
specter of war. Will this immunity
be denied her?
6-America in common with Austria
liza, has an interest in keeping the Pa
cific free from the German. The
trade routes from America to the Far
East, from America to Australia, will
be menaced il ever the German is al
lowed TO go back into these waters.
There is a stretch of many thousands
Of miles of ocean between the west
coast of America and China and ia
pan--from San Francisco to Austria
liza alone is 5000 miles. There is ono
way to guarantee that this great sheet
of water shall be kept free for com.
nerce. Shirt out the Hun. The al.
Tentative is to keep tremendously
costly system OF policing these waters.
Is there any choice?
Finally. Australia can at once
be acquitted OF any desire for terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGMENT, because she
does not necessarily ask that she her
self shall occupy these island. She
simple contends that they shall not 20
back to Germany. If it can be shown
that they should be taken by some
other friendly power. Australia will
not object. But Germany, she con.
tends. must be barred.

New York, Dec. 16-America can
hardly blame Australia if she adopts
one of Americas own principles-the
Monroe doctrine. This is exactly
what Australia has done-she has pro-
claimed the Monroe doctrine for the
South Pacific. There is no selfish ag-
gression in the Australian attitude
it is simply a desire tc work out her
destiny free from aggressive enemies
free from the dark shadow of i'm
pending trouble which would forever
hang over her shores if the Hun were
allowed to return to Pacific.
