JAPAN ONLY POWER NOT REPLYING ID HARDING PROPOSAL
Interest Manifested Informal Iy From Several Govern mentS Who Will Not Have
 Seats at Conference
By Associated Prnaa

|
 | Washington, July 13.-Additionai pledges of cooperation reached
 Washington from several quarters to- day in response to President Hard
 ng's proposal for an international conference on limitation of arma- ments and other world problems. Definite acceptance of the Presi- dents invitation to participate were received at the state department dur ing the day from Great Britain and Italy, while informal advices came to official circles here that a favorabls reply from China might be expected soon. At the same time 1t became known that much sympathetic inter- est had been manifested informally by several governments who do not expect to have seats in the confer ence.
 Jnpan Expected to Accept.
 France, having previously express ed her willingness to take part, the only invited power from which no sort of an expression had been re- ceiVed tonight was Japan. Adminis- traitor officials were confident of an acceptance from the Tokio govern ment, however, and in Japanese quar- ters here it was indicated that the delay undoubtedly was due to the formalities of consultation among various branches of the Japanese Government which are necessary in the decision of an important public question.
 State department officlals would not reveal whether any formal colnmuni- cations on the subject had been re- ceiVed from governments not invft- ed to participate. although it was un- derstood that no advice of an ad
 verse nature, at least. had reached the department from abroad So far as the reports here indicate, sentiment abroad is content with the Presi dents decision to have the member snip or the conference limited to the Dig five powers and China
 Qualification Not Likely
 fress dispatches indicating that some British statesmen desired 10 nave the preliminaries of the confer ehce held in London were not taken seriously, either in British quarters | nere or by officials of the adminis- tration. It was pointed out that tha
 British government had accepted
 definitely the Presidents proposal for { holding the meeting here, and that a
 later qualification from London was
 scarcely to be expected after the dis
 cussion had reached such a positive | stage.
 l Among high administration off cials there is manifest a strong sen 1 Oment that the whole conference
 should be held here, both because of I the facility of business such plan
 would make possible and because of
 a feeling that America was entitled l 10 De the post, since she had initiated

BACTERIA LACKING
IN SOIL FOR BEST
GROWTH OF ALFALFA

Las Vegas, N NJ, April 27.--
County Agent Il +. Jones has an
nounced that the shortness in the
yield of alfalfa notice in this
section is due to the lack of bac-
terra. Mr. Jones believes that un-
til bacteria are imported and start
ed on a thriving career in the al
falfa fields the yield win not be
what it should.
Mr.. Jones has observed that
even in good stands of alfalfa the
crops have been about three tons
to the acre. He has caused an in
vestigation to be made and has
found that none of the alfalfa
roots have nodules showing the
presence Of bacteria which take
nitrogen from the air and store it
in the soil for the Use of the plant.
He believes that with the innoc-
ulation of the fields the yield Of
alfalfa can be increased from 25
to SO per cent. A soil ANALYSIS has
shown the soil is not deficient in
any of the required fertiizing ele-
ments. Two fields in widely sep
arated sections will be innoculated
this spring, as an experiment.

FRANCE TURNS DOWN
COUNTER PROPOSALS.

Paris, April 81 (by the Associat-
ed Press. THE German counter
proposals on reparations as trans
mittcd to President Harding at
Washington are absolutely unac-
ceptablc, and the French ambas-
sador to the United States. NJ.
Jusserand, has been notified to
this effect.
The proposals are characterized
by government officials as a step
backward and are declared to give
no promise of satisfactory settle
ment.
The general feeling is that occu-
patton of the Ruin region of Ger
many is unavoidable, but it is be-
lieved in some circles barely pos
sible that in some way the Berlin

sential fact that no proposal can
be considered by the French gov
crnmeet unless based on the Paris
conditions.

 The citrus growers were differently situated from growers of other agricultural products.

 I don't know how they are running it out west now days but here in the east the coaches has a meeting in the off season and picks out the officials for their next seasons games and here is another place where fair play and sport for sport s sake comes leaping to the surface like a ton of lad. I don't need to go into no details but it would be kind of fun to see the same system tried out in big league baseball. namely let the managers pick out their own umpires. As soon as a ball club lost a game. why the man. ager would say He cant never um- pire no more games for me" and when games was lost the manager would be out of umpires and con- gress would half to pass conscrip- ton.
