COUNCIL MAY PLEAD
CASE WITH HARDING
LEADERS ARGUE WISDOM OF
URGING PREsIpENT-ELEcT NOT
TO FORM NEW ASSOCIATION.
May serd Intermediary to Urge Upon
President-eIect the Difficulties
That Europe Will Encounter If
U. S. Abandons Covenant

Paris.-Members of the council of
the league of nations have been talk
ing Informally on the ACCESSIBILITY of
sending a special intermediary or en-
voy to President-elect Harding imme-
diately after his Inauguration, to pre-
sent the case of the league of nations
and to urge on him the difficulties
which European countries would ex-
perience in abandoning the league and
setting up a new form of association
of nations.
Principal grounds for this conten-
ton are that the covenant is part
of the peace treaty which gives the
league administration over the Saare
valley, the Danzig region and num-
Der of mandates and plebiscites. The
view is held among members of the
French ministry that the solidity of
the treaty would be shaken if the
league part were abandoned.
This has led to a growing conviction
among the principal allied powers that
the league should be kept going in
some form, but not necessarily as now
constituted, the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
vision of the covenant being quite gen.
orally recognized. 1t is considered an
understanding on the future form of
the league could be more readily
reached if a representative of the
league council were able to discuss
the subject directly with Mr.. Harding.
Confidence is expressed that if direct
discussion eliminated from the coven-
ant all that is objectionable to the
United States the president-elect
would not insist on the abandonment
of the organization already at work.

DRASTIC CHANGE PROPOSED
Would Deprive Women of Citizenship
From Naturalization of Husbands.

From Naturalization of Husbands.
shington.-Drastic changes in
the naturalization law, especially as
applying to women, are provided in a
bill reported favorably by the house
immigration committee. The measure
will take the place Of two naturaliz-
alton bills on the house calendar and
an effort will be made, according to
Representative Johnson of Washing
ton, chairman, to have congress APP
prove it at this session.
Women, under the bill, no longer
would derive citizenship from natural
ization of husbands, but would be re-
quired TO make individual applications
for citizenship.
They also would lose their American
citizenship by marrying aliens, except
when an alien husband cannot law
fully become an American citizen, or
when woman resides two years in
her husbands country or five years in
some other country.

PRUNING SUGGESTIONS BY
FARM BUREAU LEADERS,

World At recent conference of
Community Farm Bureau Pruning
leaders, the following suggestions
were made:
j. H. Hess, representing the Leav-
cnworth district, believes that too lit
tie consideration is given to proper
development of tree growth as gov
erned by soil conditions and that on
fertile soil too much heading in is
pr'acticed. This retards rather than
develops fruit bud formation.
Walter Smith of the Peshastin
community reported that many or
chards in his district needed heavy
fertilization rather than heavy prun-
ing to stimulate tree growth. He re-
ported that many trees were being Sc
verely cut to force new growth, al
though TIE soil often lacked sufficient
plant food to produce heavy crops of
good apples and that light pruning
and heavy fertilization is needed.
N't'' oiCtIit VI 1'TNutn SuVVPSrP'f
that in the coming pruning demon
strations in the various districts that
pruning should be done on both old
and Young trees and that the process
of tree DEVELOPMENT should he care
fully considered He suggested that
someone thoroughly acquainted with
this problem be secured from the state
co''epe to explain these problems.
p. F. Buell., representing the Cash
mere district. requested that Row
Larsen attend all pruning demonstra-
tons and rive full explanation as To
ba'ancino production with soil fertil-
itv. Rov larsen was called into the
conference and definite ARRANGEMENTS
for his services in this capacity were
arranged for.
w. o. Mari of Monitor urged that
better selection and spacing of ma
ture fruitinp wood be demonstrated
He renorts that too heavy cutting ra-
ther than removing poorly placed
leaders is forcinp much fruit into the
fancy and c grade class.

INTERESTING
FACTS AS TO BOX
APPLE INDUSTRY
WEN NATCHEE DISTRICT PRO
DUCES TEN PER CENT OF To-
tai COMMERCIAL APPLE CROP
OF ENTIRE UNITED STATES.

World: Recent publications of the
I. S. Bureau of Markets reveal some
very interesting facts regarding the
apple industry. Total apple ship
ments to date from all parts of the
United States amount to 1880 cars.
Of this amount about 1900 cars are
made up of boxed apples and the bal
ance are of the barrel variety But a
carload of barrel apples does not con
tain as many apples as does a car of
box apples, by a margin of about 25
per cent due to the fact that there is
naturally so much waste space be-
tween the barrels.
Therefore the 10000 cars of barrel
apples really equals about $4,000 cars
of box apples. Taking the shipments
to date. the Wenatchee district has
furnished 1880 cars. or more than 10
per cent of the entire commercial
crop that has been forwarded taking
into consideration the difference in ac-
tual volume, between box and barrel
fruit.
Estimates as to the proportion of
barrel and box aples still to be ship
ned from producing points have been
made showing that there are only
about 5000 carloads of box apples
and about $4,000 carloads of barrel
apples to be shipped. which would
bring the total shipments for the sea-
son up to about 100000 carloads.
Of the box apple crop about 1000
carloads are still remaining in the
Wenatchee district, about 2.4OO in
Yakima and the balance in other ship
pinr districts.
AS to the amount Of box apples still
owned by the growers. estimates have
been made that there are less than
500 cars still held by the growers in
the Wenatchec District and about
900 carloads in growers hands in
Yakima. In the latter district a larg-
or proportion Of the crop is handled
through organizations than in the
Wenatchee district.
Riddinp for Winesaps still remain
ing in growers hands is becoming
more active both in the Yakima val
lev and the Wenatchee district.
Further comparisons Of the rela-
ton Of the Wenatchcc District to tho
entire country as an ample producing
section may be obtained from the re-
mort of the 1910 apple crop. The to-
tai commercial crop amounted to
about 2f0O0OOO barrels Of which the
Wenatchee district produced SLIGHTLY
more than 100000 barrels. or be-
tween I and 12 per cent of the entire
Weld of the country.
