 The economic terms proposc1 by the Peace Treaty with the imposed trade restrictions and other factors involved mean, von Brockdorff- Rantzan said, that many more mil lions of German people will perish from starvation. and all the more quickly as the health of the entire nation is already broker by the four years of food blockade ("
 Von Brockdorff-Rantzan stated that it would be of the greatest bene- fit to the Allies to moderate their demands, as on the other hand the nation would be too enfeebled to live up to any of the Peace treaty provisions.

LONDON, May 12-Frank Van derlip. American financier and bank CT stated in an interview which has aroused considerable public interest that the terms of the Peace treaty will not bring the long desired peace to Europe. A real peace treaty ac- eording to Vanderlip would include a plan whereby Europe would be able to get machinery, rolling stock and raw materials whereby the peo- ple of Europe would be placed in position to help themselves.
 Vanderlip stated that something would have to be done to relieve the distress among the people of the Flu ropean nations to prevent worse happenings. With more than one million unemployed in England who are receiving regular grants from the British government, with this enormous number increasing daily as the British army is further de- mobilized, eight hundred thousand unemployed in Belgium, and enor- nous numbers of workers unem- ployed in the other Allied and Neu- tral countries, instant action to re- lieve this situation was imperatiVeiy demanded.

row Is to be made. pressing it in a
quarter of an inch. Make two such
parallel drills for each row of plants.
The drills should be from six to ten
inches apart. according to what plants

Drop the seeds at intervals OF about
three inches, three or four seeds to-

trade. 1t hardly seems Il question that
can be settled by a few men. particu-
larly few who have had no business
experience. Scientists are quite as
apt to be mistaken as business men
and perhaps more SO.
One of the worst insect pests In this
country was imported by a scientist
and an entomologist at that. That i'm
portation Of insects has caused millions
and millions Of dollars worth of
damage. Certainly It was a blunderer
who caused this trouble.
In an interview Max Schling ex-
pressed the idea that the plant quar-
antine was not as bad as 1t appeared
to be, Mr. Settling said.
I'VE have unlimited opportunities
and conditions in this country. We
have every possible climatic and soil
condition. which will permit us to
grow anything and everything, even II
n does take us a few years before we
can compete with the products OF
Europe.
Our greenhouses are built very
much better than European houses.
Our climatic conditions for most
pean conditions. Small countries like
Holland. Belgium. France or England
cannot compare with the whole United
States, from East to West and North
to South, from Maine to Washington
and Minnesota to Texas.
Somewhere in the United States
will be found some place where stock
can be grown similar to that of Hol'
land and a place where the French
stock can be grown.
The reason we have not grown this
stock before was not because we could
not. but because It was easier to write
letter ordering the stock from Eu-
rope.
I'VE have gardeners of every nation
! atty in the United States-English,
Scotch, French. italian, German, Rus
sian, Bohemian, Austrian, Scandi-
navian and others. and they are all
good citizens. They can teach us
what we want to know about any
plants that are cultivated in their
native country.
american gardeners will specialize
in various lines and II we run short
; on azaleas and rhododendrons we will
grow them ourselves later on.
Men of wealth will become more
interested in horticulture when they
! know they are supporting home in
dustry. our newer American gardens
will become as interesting and beauti-
full in their development as the Eu-
ropean gardens in their centuries Of
stately age.

PUMPKINS AND SQUASH.
by II. Il. HAYDOCK.

The planting of pumpkin and squash
among corn has its advantages and
disadvantages. Space is saved by so
doing and on dry, sandy soil the
presence Of the vines tends to con-
serve moisture for the benefit Of the
corn.
on the other hand the vines OF
pumpkin and squash as they grow and
spread interfere to n certain extent
with the cultivation of corn. Also
where several squash are planted in
a hill of corn they serve to reduce
the fertility of that hill and the corn
will not bear as well.
1t will therefore be found advan-
tageous TO set aside certain space In
which to grow squash, particularly the
bush varieties by themselves and so
make 1t unnecessary to plant so much
among the corn.
II that which Is grown among corn
be planted with an early maturing
kind. such as White Cob Cory, it will
be found that the squash will be
benefited by the early ripening and
consequent removal of the corn he
fore the squash fully mature.
Pumpkins when planted among corn
should have two or three seeds placed

NO MORE SNoWDRoPs, SCILLAs
OR SPANISH IRIS.

BY Quarantine No. 81. issued by
the autocratic Federal Horticultural
Board. there will be no more Spanish
or Dutch iris imported. These bulbs
are as smooth as a tulip; the tulips
may come in. but the iris cannot.
There will be no more snowdrops
and scillas in our gardens, the first
flowers of spring, although they have
been imported for half a century or
more. There can be no more chino
doxas bulbs. although all these are as
smooth and as clean as a tulip The
reason may be that none of the Fed
eral Horticultural Board has ever
seen one of these bulbs.
Albert r. Gould. florist of Santa
Barbara, Cal. refers to this regulation
as the abuse Of power by the chosen
few, headed by the Secretary OF Agri-
culture"
Thus another department of the
Government under the present Admin
istration has come in for n share of
public criticism.

GOOSEBERRIES BECOMING
POPULAR.

Gooseberries are becoming popular
and their popularity is attributable to
the scarcity OF cherries and berries.
1t is more likely on account OF the
constantly growing demand for small
fruits.
Tests at the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton in gooseberry culture show the

Jacket to he four varieties profitable
for commercial culture. These are
American varieties. While the Indus
try and Whitesmith are regarded as
good English varieties.
While gooso5erries are sometimes
attacked by insects and disease, con-
troll methods have been worked out TO
such an extent that the Currant worm
may be controlled by spraying with
arsenate of lead. anthraCnOse with
Bordeaux mixture and mildew with

cially in hot weather The effect on
the superheated plant of a sudden
drenching OF cold water is to check
growth and often to convert a natu-
rally robust plant into n permanent
weakling.
But since moisture is essential to all
vegetation the mistake of course lies
not in applying the water but in the
way it is applied To obtain the best
results take pointed wedding hoe or
an ordinary hoe held cornerwise, and
draw a trench five or six inches deep
bCtween two rows of vegetables. If the
rows are more than two feet apart
make trench parallel with each row,
eight or ten inches to one side. Then
either lay the nozzle of the hose IN one
| end OF the trench or pour the water
with a watering pot from which the
| rose has been removed. The quantity
should depend on the character of the
soil. If it Is heavy, moisture retain
! ing clay it will be necessary to fill the
trcnch only once; but on sandy soil
where the water seeps through rapidly
and disappears within a minute or two
it may be necessary to fill it twice or
even three times.
Treat the entire kitchen garden in
the same manner, and when all the
water has been absorbed fill the
| trenches with loose dry earth that was
removed and thus prevent surface
evaporation. Unless in exceptionally
hot weather, one application u week
will suffice. As the water is warmed
| by filtration through some inches of
sun baked earth before it comes in con-
tact with the delicate rootlets It causes
no shock. by dividing the garden into
sections and watering one section q
day the work will involve less time and
labor and require less water. The
same method is applicable to young
| trees, shrubs and flowers.
Dig trench n foot or more from
| the base OF the trunk or the shrub or
round the edge OF a small bed. In the
case OF large bed in which plants
are too close together or spaced too
| irregularly to admit OF trenching, use
tho watering pot with the rose re-
moved, hold it as near the earth as
possible to lessen the force OF the

FROST DAMAGE IN NEW JERSEY

Jacob G. Lipman. dean and director
of the New Jersey State Experiment
tai Station, says that the best in
formation at hand shows that the
direct damage by frost to the fruit
and vegetable crops in central and
southern New Jersey has been OF
no serious consequence. Some of the
early tomatoes in Gloucester, Camden
and Cumberland counties have. no
doubt suffered. but the injury appears
to have been local and limited.
North Of New Brunswick there has
been considerable injury to some of
the varieties Of peaches that were SUI
flciently advanced. and 1t is probable
that there has also been some damage
done to the apple crop. Our horticul-
turist believes, however, that on the
whole the injury done to fruit and
vegetables in northern New Jersey IS
much less than 1t appeared last week.

THE U. s. FISH CROP.

The total value of the American fish
crop. including that of Alaska and the
insu.ar possessions, is estimated now
to be s15O,O0O 900, allowing for the adj
vances IN values in the last year.
The capital invested in the fisheries
Of the United States, including vessels
and the land establishments for hand
ling the fish. is estimated at about
SIS, 600, 900, and the number of persons
employed Is 100000. The value OF the
sea products turned out by the can
neries is $4,000 900.
Food experts did we'll during the
war times TO urge Americans to eat
more fish, not only because this helped
conserve the supplies OF beef and pork
products but also because eating some
good fish frequently means n change
in the average mans diet which is tn
his benefit. The same argument holds
true in regard to vegetables and green
things. of which many people in cities
do not eat enough for their own good
