Baton Rouge, La Ilostilitics have
been renewed in the constitutional
Convention over IN" proposed legisla

when the legislative reapportiOnmcnt
ordinance was recOmmitted with in
structiOns to the committee to work
out a plan of apportionmcnt for the
House of Representatives based on a
population of 80 900 and major frac-
tons thereof
Mr.. PrOyosty went on to say that,
through the efforts OF mutual friends,
the dove Of peace had been induced
to return. and he believed that by re-
considering the ordinance the ContrO-
versy could be quickly and satisfactor-
lily settled. Many OF the delegates APP

Pointe Coupee delegates as they car
The motion to reconsider had
scarcely been carried when a group
of delegates made a grab at the dove
of peace and pulled its tail feathers
out The plucked bird then few out
of the window and hostilities were
renewed
Mr.. Braezeale OF Natchitoches,
chairman of the apportionment COM
mittee, sought to have the ordinance
engrossed and passed to third read
ing, precisely as 1t came from commit
tee, fixing the Senate at thirty-fve
members and the House at eighty-six.
Objection was raised and the point
was made that could be done only un-
der the proper order Of business.
President Bouanchaud sustained the
point OF order. and the ordinance had
70 wait its turn on the calendar. Be-
fore this was done, however, the con-
vention got into a fight over another
ordinance. and by the time the appor-
tionment measure was reached I'm the
regular order II was so late in the day
that Mr.. Breazeale had it returned to
the calendar and II is due to come up
again soon.
According to gossip around the hall,
the leaders in the movement recently
TO recommit the ordinance discovered
that an apportionment Of the House
OF Representatives. based on 10000
population, would not figure out as
they thought II would. In other words,
some OF the parishes that expected to
gain one representative failed to get
what they were looking for.
Then, the story goes, they hit upon
another plan. 1t was proposed to re-
consider the vote for recommittal to
committee andamned the ordinance
so as to provide for House OF Repre-
sentatives with a mOXimum OF 101
members. 1t was proposed to accom-
plish this by making a population OF
10000 a basis OF appOrtiOnment, with
an additional representative for an
excess of 10000 in population or over
1t was also proposed to rearrange
the senatorial reapportionment by In
creasing the maximum membership
Of the Senate to thirty-eight. The

matum was the only course. In max
ing this announcement to the reich.
stag the new chancellor asked for an
immediate decision by that body. In
the voting which followed the govern
ment was sustained.
The allied ultimatum required a
definite reply based on yes" or no"
the total sum which Germany is call
ed upon to pay is G6,750, 100000. Dis
armament must be carried out by Ger
many in accordance with the provi-
sions of the treaty and the trial OF war
criminals must be put into effect.
Numerous other important terms in
which Germany has been in default

Noncompliance with the allied ulti-
matum would have subjected Germany
to occupation by the allies OF the Ruhr
valley and whatever other military
and naval measures were deemed ad-
visable.

SYSTEM OF SUMMER PRUNING
Usually Done to Check Very visor-
GUS Growing Trees With Idea Of
Producing Fruit.

Summer pruning is generally used
to check very vigorous growing young
trees with the idea of throwing them
into bearing. 1t is simply a case of
heading back some of the stronger
growing branches with the idea of
checking the growth and making the
tree produce fruit spurs. Sometimes
growers complain that their trees are
not bearing, even though they are cul-
tivating very intensively and fertiliz-
ing heavily. They do not realize that
trees making very heavy wood growth
brought about by heavy manuring or
rich soil tend to delay fruiting. There
fore, it Is necessary to check the wood
growth. and this is done by doing less
fertilixlng and cultivating and also by
following out system Of summer
pruning.

WASHINGTON expen-

ton of former service men, making a
total annual outlay of $35,OOO,0OO for
that purpose, and a denomination of
all men who served in the world war
the senate committee investigating
soldier relief.
Physical re. examination of the $780,
900 war veterans to clean the slate of
statutory and regulatory tangles was
suggested to the committee by Colo
mel Charles r. Forbes, director of the
war risk insurance bureau. Charges
of graft by dentists in the treatment
Of former service men also got into
the hearing. Dr. William S. Terri
berry, assistant surgean general of
the public health service, said cases
involving 81 dentists had been turned
over to the department of justice for
prosecution.
REORGANIZATION was suggested by
Colonel Forbes as the best solution
of the soldier relief problem. 1t would
cut off much "justifiable criticism"
he said, and build a firm foundation
for future dealings with veterans"
Colonel Forbes said claims had been
reduced to between 10000 and SO 900,
but applications for claims were COM

the warmer parts apples. currants,
gOOseberries and certain varieties of
several Of the other fruits fail because
they are not adapted to the long hot
summers and mild winters. But in
these warmer regions, japanese per-
simmons succeed, and in some Of
them figs and certain other fruits can
be planted successfully. Therefore,
one Of the most important features of

Is the selection of kinds Of fruits. and

THINNING TO IMPROVE FRUIT
Next Year's Crop and Better
Size and Grade.

In years Of heavy crops neglect of
thinning Is often ruinous to the next
years crop. Sometimes half the to-
tai number Of apples set will be
thinned of SO sufficient fruit buds
will form to provide for the next
years yield.
Experimental worS with both
peaches and apples VS. not only
the Increase In next years crop but
also, and this Is more important, a
vast Improvement In the size and
grade of the individual fruits pro-

Thinning Is not done to decrease the
number Of bushels of fruit, but the
number Of individual fruits produced.
