POMEGRANATES ARE
LATEST GOLD MINE

BRAWLEY, Oct. 13.-Chris West
gard who owns and runs the Pioneer
Orchard just in the outskirts of Braw-
ley to the southwest sold $442 worth
of Pemegranates a few weeks ago off
eighteen shrubs. Planted at the same
distance and under the same conditions
pomegranates to the number of two
hundred plants to the acre can be sue
cessfully grown. That would mean a
net of $4,000 per acre. The demand
for them exceeds the supply at all
times and there is no immediate dam
ger of an overstocked market, in fact
not for years to come.
Pomegranates require little care
They can go almost the entire sum-
ner without water. They need no
pruning. In Imperial Valley they
grew larger, color better and have
better flavor than anywhere else in
the country. A pomegranate orchard
ist can go away and spend his sum-
mcr vacation of six weeks or two
months without any worry as to
what his orchard will do. 1t will
l'n care of itself.
A useful syrup can be made of the
fruit, according to Francis Heney, who
has also taken much interest in fruit
experiments. The inexperienced fell
low has just as much chance for sue
cess with pomegranates as the ex-
perienced fruit man who gives prun-
ing, culture of trees, his life's study.

GERMANY LOOKS TO
UNITED STATES
By CARL D. GROAT

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)
: BERLIN, Oct. 13.-It can be SAID,
that Germany as a whole, despite its
dislike of the IA Points, looks with
more favor on a working arrangement
with America than with England. In
the contest between England and
America for supremacy on the seas,
Germany's sympathy is unquestionably
with America.
The German is convinced that, des-
pite the fact that America has not
concluded peace with Germany, there
is a spirit in America favoring busi-
ness relations and the rebuilding of
German economic life. On the other
hand, Germany feels that France, who
has concluded peace, is working un-
sparingly for economic destruction of
Germ any for Frances own ends. This
feeling has been strengthened by Mil
lerand's recent journey through the
occupied Rhine territory, by evidence
that General Lerond in Upper Silesia
was operating favorably toward the
Poles, and by the fact that France was
oposing German participation in the
Geneva conference.
Germany is anxious to participate in
the Geneva conference, in order to
know how to regulate its affairs.
Through Geneva, it expects clear de-
cisions which permit of shaping def
nitely for the future rather than drift
ing along aimlessly without clear
understanding of what the entente will
