FRENCH ACTION IS
JOLT FOR ALLIES
PARIS TO BE URGED BY ENGLAND
TO HALT AND WITHDRAW
HER ARMIES
LONDON AND ROME WORRIED
French Troops Occupy Cities More
Than Hundred Miles From
Ruhr Troubles

London. French occupation OF
Frankfort and other German cities, to-
gether with civil conditions in the
Ruhr district, is being considered by
the counsel of ambassadors at Paris,
it is learned here.
II is declared at the foreign office
that the British are not fully decided
as to what course to follow, because
of conflicting reports, but are inclin-
ed to give Germany benefit of doubt
thus far.
France Notified OF Attitude
A dispatch from Coblenz says that
it is learned at the office Of Pierpont
b. Ncyes, American Rhineland com
missioner, and representative of the
state department in the American oc-
cup.ed area, that several days ago
Mr.. Noyes formally ASSOCIATED him
self from any action the high commits
sion might take involving it directly
or indirectly in possible French
advance into unoccupied territory. 1t
is also stated at the office that Mr..
Noyes has notified Washington OF his
action.
Germans Shell French Patrol
A dispatch from Mayence says the
only incident in connection with the
occupation of North Frankfort by the
French consisted of a few shots fired.
According to reports by aviators, Ger
men gun detachments fired two or
three shells on a French cavalry pa
troll before which attachments of the
reichswehr and the security police
were retiring. The latter, although
knowing that occupation had been de-
cided on, refused to believe it would
be carried out, one OF the officers
saying that the British would not let
the French come in.
At Darmstadt, the reception of the
French troops was almost cordial, and
the population at Frankfort was in
clincd to be friendly to the French.
Allied Capitals ApprehensiVe
London.-Greatest apprehension pre-
vailed here in official and diplomatic
circles as TO the eventualities involved
in the German invasion of the Ruhr
district and the subsequent French
retalia tory measure of occupying sew
eral points in the Frankfort region.
While admitting that the Germans
technically have violated the peace
treaty, British government officials
were inclined to regard Frances head
strong, i'll considered one-handed
game"
England, Italy and the United States,
il is learned, will not acquiesce in
the French coup, which comes as an
unexpected jolt

can be so "sour" that even alsike will
not grow. In such a case there is
nothing for it but to lime or to quit
clover.
On land that has lime but is other
wise poor and lacks organic matter,
try sweet clover. 1t is no use sowing
this on "sOur" soil. 1t won't thrive.
But with lime it is about the best
clover for poor land. 1t will add or
ganic matter and nitrogen and leave
such a soil in better shape for the
following crops Sweet clover seed is
cheaper than red and in many cases
a farmer could proftably substitute
sweet clover for red in the rotation.
The questions involved in the I'M
portance of clover and methods OF
getting a stand, use of lime, and
sweet clover are only touched on here.
Any state experiment stations or the
United States department of agricul-
ture will send bulletins or additional
information on request.

DRAINAGE FOR GARDEN LAND
It Is Advisable to Thoroughly Drain
NAH Soil Inclined to Contain Too
Much Moisture.

Garden land inclined to be wet
should be thoroughly drained before
crops are planted upon it. If tile
drains or open bitches cannot be pro-
vided the next best thing is to plant
the crops on slight ridges, so as to
get their roots above this water table
