PARIS.--After a conference held
by the Italian delegation to the peace
conference this afternoon it was an
nounced that the delegates would
leave Paris.
Premier Orlando, of Italy, this eve
ming addressed an official communica-
ton to Premier Clemenceau, presi-
dent of the peace conference, saying
that as result of the declaration by
President Wilson the Italian delega-
ton had decided to leave Paris.
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
1t was learned at Italian headquar-
tiers this evening that the Italian
delegates were first apprised of Pres
ident Wilson's statement when it ap-
peared in the afternoon papers. Pre-
mier Orlando at once sent a note to
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau asking them if they thought it
possible after the publication of this
document that the Italians could re-
main in the peace conference. A re-
ply had not been received up to
late hour tonight.
Premier Lloyd George tried I'M
successfully during the discussion last
night to reconcile the viewpoints of
President Wilson and Premier Or
lando on the Italian situation, it be-
came known today.
Facts of the Deadlock.
The facts of the deadlock over the
Italian claims in the Adriatic, ac-
cording to The Petit Parisen, are as
follows:
President Wilson proposed that
Fiume. which is not mentioned in
the treaty of London, should be
free city, but attached to the Jugo-
Slav customs systems and further
that the London treaty should be
subjected to a total revision.
Italy refused to accept this propos-
al, whereupon President Wilson with
drew, leaving Italy alone with the
representatives of the other signato-
ries of the treaty. During the meet
ings Of the representatives of the
Signatories both Premier Orlando
and Foreign Minister Sonnino were
most conciliatory, Orlando especially
having asked repeatedly on what con-
dition France and Great Britain
would consent to give Fiume to Italy.
Baron Sonnino said he was ready to
discuss a revision of the London
treaty.
/ However, President Wilson, who,
while he was not present at the meet
ings, kept in touch with them, then
wanted to reopen the question of the
treaty of London, but without join
ing the revision to the fate of Fiume.
The president has receded from the
! first proposal to make Fiume free
city and is inclined to give it abso-
lutely to the Jugo-Slavs.
AS to premiers Clemenceau and
Lloyd George, they are understood
to be ready to adhere purely and
simply to the treaty of London, at
the same time seeking means of con-
/ citation.

KEEPING APPLES IN A PIT.

At the Ohio experiment station sur
plus apples are kept In pits in the
orchard, where they are stored and
covered in the late autumn. It is nee
essary to prevent premature ripening
as much as possible before burying
the apples. and for this reason It is
best to defer picking until the fruit
begins to drop.
The most successful way OF making
a pit Is to select a we'll drained level
spot. The apples are piled up and
covered with straw as the weather
gets colder. Not until the tempera-
ture falls to about 20 degrees is It nee
essary TO cover the heap with earth.
At this time or inches Of earth and
another layer of straw protects the
apples from heavy freezing, and the
last covering of earth is applied when
the extremely cold weather begins. The
pit does not need ventilation.
Some varieties Of apples like Ber
Davis and Russet keep best IN a pit
and their quality is improved by bury.

Fall Planting.
1 always do some fall planting.
When ] am asked about the advisable
ity of planting at this season my an
swer is that II Is desirable IL properly
done and the trees properly protected.
Every tree fall planted should be
banked up with earth at least a foot
high. Plants, vines and shrubs when
fail planted should be covered with a
small forkful of strawy litter before
winter approaches. i do not favor
planting strawberries and peach trees
largely in the fall. Fa'l planted trees
should not nave their branches cut
the fall. II when spring comes some
back until spring. i do not advise fall
planting where the thermometer gets
as low as 20 degrees below zero.
Cuttings planted in the fall are liable
to be heaved by frost unless well pro-
tected by a covering Of strawy manure.

but very hungry squash bugs. These
may be the descendants Of individuals
which could have been killed the fall
before.
One of the best times to fight some
Of our common injurious insects is
in the fall of the year. The cabbage
worm, squash bug, and many other no.
torious bugs pass the winter among
the stalks and vines of the last sea-
sons crop or hide away in rubbish
about gardens and fields. Many Of
these will be destroyed IL potato vines,
squash vines. cabbage leaves and
stumps and other crop remnants are
gathered and burned soon after the
harvest. All boards, brush, weeds and
other rubbish should be added to the
bonfire.
White grubs, wire worms, cutworms
and other insects pass the winter in
the ground, oftentimes in earthen
cells shaped by their own feet. Many
Of these will not be on hand in the
spring to start new families IL their
winter homes are disturbed by the
pldugh this fall. Some would be killed
by exposure after having their cells
broken open; others would become the
prey of birds and animals, while still
others would be buried too deep for

Mice in the Orchard.
1t Is surprising what damage may
be done bya few mice not much larger
than your thumb. Where heavy falls
Of snow occur greater damage may be
expected from mice, since they are not
able to procure food on account of the
depth Of snow. Particular attention
should be given to trees, &C.. planted
near the fence lines or near piles OF
rubbish that attract the mice. Mice do
not climb up over mounds Of earth:
therefore II each tree Is banked with
earth 1t is not SO liable to be molested.
In some parts Of the country rab-
bits are even worse than mice
Their work can be easily distinguished
from mice, as they gnaw the bark on

TER CARE OF THE ROSE--EXFIIBITIONS AND MEETINGS

OSES in the northern half of
X the country need winter pro-
i y lection. This may be provided
by course manure. straw or leaves
applied after the preparatory prun-
ing described below. Evergreen
boughs or even branches from decid-
nous plants are often helpful in
holding the other materials in place,
besides being a protection in them
selves. Individual specimens are
often wrapped in straw or straw and
burlap. There is some danger of trou-
bic from mice in the use of straw and
strawy manure, especially during hard
winters. This is mlnimlzed by banking
earth about the plants before mulch
ing. This banking Of earth is also a
most effective preventive of injury
from cold. Earth banked up about the
plants to n height of a foot or more
makes an excellent protection, espe-
cially If covered we'll with manure
after the ground first freezes. The
earth cover must be promptly removed
In early spring as soon as danger from
freezing is past. In some sections 1t Is
advisable to protect rose plants from
strong winds by shrubbery borders,
evergreens, vine-covered fences or
other windbreaks.
A special type of pruning should be
practised in fall in sections where
winter protection is necessary. Under
such circumstances it is desirable to
cut back the tops in the fall to within
80 inches of the ground, to allow of
more easily covering the bushes. This
should be followed in the spring by
the regular pruning. The long stems
left in this fall pruning help hold the
winter mulch from blowing away and
from packing too closely. They are
also long enough to allow considerable
winter killing and yet have sufficient
eyes left to insure ample growth for
the next seasons bloom.
Throughout large sections of the
country it is unnecessary to protect
climbing roses in winter. In the
northern sections, where roses are apt
to winter kill, however, some sort II
protection is necessary. Wrapping the
bushes in straw Is effective where the
cold is not too great but is somewhat
unsightly. 1t permits keeping the
vines more nearly in their summer
position. A surer method is to lay the
vines down, covering them with earth.
and after that is frozen adding a layer
Of straw or manure. This covering
must be removed promptly in the
spring as soon as freezing is over.

spring.
Always water trees and shrubs thor
oughly when planting, and keep the
soil moist about them until the ground
freezes. Evergreens, in particular,
must be kept moist. and the foliage
frequently sprlnkled.
Recently an excellent collection Of
evergreens across the front Of house
was noticed. The gardener had not
used a drop of water when planting
nor afterward. There will be a bed

There are some insects that we are

SEASoNABLE FRUIT NOTES.

An enthusiastic fruit grower has
been travelling through Asia gathering
new and rare plants, vines and trees
by the thousand, shipping them to
this country, where they are now be-
ing tested largely in California. While
many Of these fruits are suitable only
for the Southern latitude, It Is hoped
that some will withstand the winters
of the North. A new peach has been
discovered which thrives in arid
lands. The persimmons of the Orient
are even more delicious than the most
toethsome candies.
The Vineyards.
The question has been raised since
prohibition as TO what will become of
American vineyards since no more
wine can be produced. Some Vine
yards dug out their vines and aban-
doned grape growing. but now the
promise is that higher prices than ever
known before may result The fact
has been overlooked that there are
many ways of using grapes and that
the prohibition of the use OF alcoholic
wines will be more than made up by
non-alcoholic grape juice, the manu-
factories OF which are sprnging up
al over the country where grapes are
