MORE THAN PEACE
CONFAB NEEDED TO
PACIFY RUSSIANS

TOXIC Correspondence of the
/ Associated Press The era of the
war does not mean peace for Rus
: STA, says Dr.. Vaclav Girsa, of the
/ Czecho-SIovak national council who
is now in Toxic. Peace confer
ences will not be able to prevent
/ the internal struggles in that dis
organized state; that can only be
accomplished by military decision,
and can only be the task of the
allies" added DR.. Girsa.
Many divisions of allied troops
now are needed to help Russia
emerge from its chaos because, said
DR.. Girsa, more than half of the
! CZecho-SlOyak troops who were in
Russia when the Brest-Litovsk
peace treaty was signed now are in
hospitals or in their graves.
DR.. Girsa said the situation of
his troops in Siberia has been we'll
nigh insupportable One division
had been forced to hold for a long
time an immense front. 1t had been
obliged to guard the railroad, the
important places in Siberia, to or
ganiZe the munition factories and
maintain order in all the towns. He
quoted a Russian officer from the
front as describing the situation
thus: Il am an old soldier and
have seen many military troubles
but the efforts shown by the
Czecho-SIovak soldiers in Siberia
surpass all human forces, and can
only say that the men seem to have
been carried above their normal
condition"
DR.. Girsa said that his people feel
that they must perish but they wish
to fulfill their duty to the last.
They have quite given up hope of
effective military aid but they are
determined to fight to the last
breath. He expressed the opinion
that the Russian nation would sur
prise the world by its powerful de-
velOpment in the future. He adj
ded:
I'VE Czecho-Slovaks understand
the Russian people. We have lived
among them during all the great
changes of the war and we feel
sympathy for them. We can never
forget the immense sea of Russian
blood which was shed during the
first three years of the war. We
must not forget that a great major
ity of the Russian people have not
said their last word.
"In giving TO the Russian army
protection we had absolutely no as
piration for political power in Rus
STA, but such a misunderstanding
seems to have been our fate from
the very beginning of the war Even
now we are called by the Russians

HOME GROWN FIGS
.NAY SOON REPLACE
IMPORTED ONES

It is likely that before many
years the 100000 or 5000 600
pounds of figs annually imported
from Smyrna will be supplanted by
the homegrown product, says the
United States department OF agri-
culture in bulletin 1872. recently is
sued The area in the southwestern
states and in California is equally
as well adapted to the fig industry,
the bulletin adds, as is the Meander
valley of Asia Minor, and is more
than extensive enough to produce
many times the quantity imported
into this country.
The annual production of Smyrna
figs in California, which IS almost
thu total yield of this country, is
not far from 1000 tons. but within
a few years the production likely
will be greatly increased. for it IS
estimated that since the importa
tons were cut of as result of the
war 10000 acres Of Smyrna fig trees
have been planted in the central
San joaquin valley. When these
large paintings come into bearing
this country will be independent OF
importations of this most whole
believed, dried figs by the carload
will be as evident in commercial
movements as Taisius are at the
.pJ&sent time
Two kinds of cultivated figs are
commonly known in this country
the caprifed or Smyrna figs and
the common cultivated figs which
10 not require CaprificatiOn. Until
recent years only varieties OF the
latter kind were successfully grown
in America. The figs of the Smyrna
type do not set fruit unless the
flowers are pOllinated- that is, un-
less the figs when setting are cap
rified; and this necessitates the
Simultaneous culture of the capri
fig, the male form of the species,
which harbors the fig insect and
bears the pollen necessary to fer
tiIize figs Of the Smyrna type.
About one-third of the produc-
ton of figs in California is of the
Smyrna type and the remainder
chiefly Adriatic and Mission, but
the aforementioned type are being
planted almost exclusively now.
one prominent California grower
who has orchards of both Smyrna
MS.nd Adriatic figs finds that by
|HEeral supply OF capritigs he gets
N on to the acre more from the
pyrna than from the other vari-
%yry. while the former sells for about
double the price OF the latter. A
four-year-old Smyrna fig orchard
should produce sufficient fruit TO
nav all the expenses of cultivation,
and from that time will yield in
creasing profits indefinitely, &C
cording to the bulletin.
From Investigations conducted by
the department, it is apparent that
there exists no climatic obstacle to
the growing of Smyrna figs in the
southern states. Experiments, how
ever, must be carried on for a per
iod of years before it can be Ger
tain that the fig insect will per-
petuate itself in this region.
